A little Halloween recap, since I conveniently (for me) skipped over all of October :). My boys. Santa is going to give them a stick for Christmas. A girl fighting off stick because they are too darn cute.
My little Guppy. She corrected everyone that called her a goldfish. She was a fantail goldfish. 
I was gluing and cutting up until the hour before she needed it for school and forgot how small she is. She’s petite and I cut the tail too long so she had to hold it up during her school parade. The tail was trimmed before trick or treating so it worked out alright in the end.
I’m pretty proud of this one. I used one of my hooded sweatshirts as a guide and sewed a base to glue 375 cupcake liners to. It took me 2 days from start to finish so it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was planning on covering the arms but she wouldn’t have been able to bend them. The tail actually did fan out as she walked, that’s all I hoped for.
I really didn’t want to mess with fake fur this time so I compromised with Mary and she went from Santa to being her favorite cartoon super hero Word Girl. I made this one first so it’s not as fancy as I would have liked it to be. I had a week to do 3 costumes so I rushed through Mary’s first and found myself with more time than I thought I needed for the others. Next year I’ll make hers last so she can get the fancy one.
Kaci was our little mermaid. I’ve always loved Heather Bailey’s mermaid costume so it was easy to figure out how to make it when Kaci told me what she wanted to be. She picked the colors and I went to town. I made hers last so any time I had left over got spent embellishing and playing around with this. There’s glitter glue everywhere! I was going to make her a fancy belt to cover up the waist and a cape because it was flipping freezing but didn’t quite make time for that. Glitter is warm enough right??
A new record for me- 3 costumes in 7 days! I went to bed before 1 a.m. every night. I wish I would have started earlier so they would have turned out like I really wanted them to but so is the life of a procrastinator.
Kennedy went as Rapunzel with a plastic frying pan. I don’t have a picture of her alone for some reason? I always manage to forget one of them. At least it’s not the same kid every year or they would start getting a complex. I have a group shot of her so maybe I’ll crop her out for her scrapbook.
So now that Halloween is over all I’ve been thinking about is Christmas stuff. I’m getting excited to make some stuff this year. Woo hoo for gift giving and making stuff!
Have a fantastic November! Just kidding, I’ll come back before December. I have some stuff to show off.
