I totally have bragging rights this Halloween! My kindhearted boy's response, noted by K, drove me to make him a mouth, nose, and eyes; mainly because I did not want the boy mistaken for a cat or a mouse. Courtesy of left-over googly eyes from my Jonah-craft-Sunday-School stint last year. Who doesn't love googly eyes? And who doesn't acknowledge that in some crazy way, God provided those googly eyes because of Sunday School volunteerism? And I had enough fleece and fake fur scraps left over. Just.barely.enough.with.no.extras.for.do-overs! And I did not have a do-over thanks to Eric making the triangle eye & nose-holding piece for me!
I think I am sew done with sewing for a bit. As for Grandma G's earlier comment in regards to my early preparations, one can see why I started so early. I made it just in time.
To my Mom, it was good to hear you are proud of me for my projects tackled and conquered. I am not so sure I will be making many clothes for Norah. Just specialty items that cannot be purchased, maybe . . . Or when the mood strikes. As for me, I'll take a pass on making my own clothes.
This Sunday, my school is having a 3K Pumpkin Run/Walk. Middle schoolers here - who complain about running the mile - so it is just a 3K. Anyways, I plan on taking the kiddos in costume. Soon, very soon, you will see the finished products modeled.
THANK YOU to all for the encouragement, ideas, and Hippo's agreement that "Option Affordable" is actually A-DOR-ABLE!! If you all lived close, we would deliver glazed pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to you on Halloween. We give treats to get treats as we visit our dear neighbors on Halloween. And, well, you would get some, just for being neighborly!

Adversity can bring out the best in us... and it certainly did in you! I am sooo impressed with your costume creations!! I was thinking you could go on to doing a lot more sewing. :) And yes, you certainly do have bragging rights!
"Made it just in time"? Nah, it's still way early! I probably wouldn't have started yet (and look what a fix I'd have been in!).
"Just a 3K"... do they know that's longer than a mile? ;)
Giving treats... what a sweet idea! Wish I lived by you (also so I could see L'il Red and the Wolf in person). The only trick-or-treater we get out here is L'il Miss Courtney. :)
Can't wait for the pics!
Yummy! Those sound so good! And your costumes look great!!!!
wolf hat... CONQUERED!

Your costumes are great! You sew better than I do! What a great man Eric is to have around to be able to draw and help in designing and making paterns to help you out. I really love the face on the hat.
Sewing clothes can sometimes be easier and less time consuming that making costumes.
What a great job you did!
I wish I could be there for Halloween. But we would have to pass on the treats as Leon will not eat chocolate. But I would, so I guess I could have one or two as I know they will be great!
Have a great time going out this year.
Love,
Mom
