Macaroni Pizza

My son is a drawing machine. He is now getting to the point where I can ask him what his drawing is of and he will tell me. Last night he and his dad created the starship Enterprise (dad drew the stars around the ship). But my favorite picture of all time is two black "circles" with some miscellaneous black marks. When I asked him what it was, he told me "Macaroni Pizza". So that is what I wrote on the page along with his name and date. Last night, after the enterprise drawing, he went through his notebook and tore out multiple pages and handed them to me. When asked what they were, he consistently told me "macaroni". We don't eat macaroni that often. Nor does he eat a lot of it at daycare.
Where did he pick this up? Motherhood just keeps getting more interesting . . . .

Sewing

I have just read at least 20 blogs where creative people are telling me how they took something and repurposed it with very little direction and a whole lot of creativity and Voila - a beautiful new something. Me - I have tried very hard for a very long time to follow directions and use patterns appropriately. I am not an uncreative person, I just want things to fit the wearer, and well, while I experiment constantly while cooking (with good success), I suck at experimentation when sewing. My anal retentive side must be showing!
