Costume Award Trophies….for your Halloween party!

Remember how I always host a little Virtual Halloween Parade every year, posting many of the costumes you (or someone you know) made for Halloween??  Well, we can’t skip that…..it’s TRADITION!  (Here are the costume parades from 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009.)  On the 31st, I plan on sharing your Handmade Halloween costumes here on […]

Lollipop Munchkin (…from “Wizard of Oz”)

Okay, FINALLY.  The last little costume in our Wizard of Oz theme this year is complete.  And in case you missed the others, there’s a Dorothy costume, a Glinda the Good Witch costume, and a Tin Man costume.     Or, if you want to see them all together (plus a VIDEO), you can click […]

The TIN MAN (…from “Wizard of Oz”)

UPDATE: All of the Wizard of Oz DIY Costumes are done and can be viewed by clicking the link!! Enjoy! . . . . .   Great news…..THE PAINT DRIED!  Wow, it must have been something in that metallic paint that really slowed down the process, because that took DAYS.  Weird.  But now you know, […]

36 SIMPLE COSTUME IDEAS for Kids and Adults

Well, the plan was to have Connor’s costume done and ready to share for today.  Arghh……it just didn’t quite happen.  But that’s because yesterday was a little on the crazier side (aka: one sick little monkey…..but she’s fine today) and naptime wasn’t as fruitful as normal.  So, the Wizard of Oz costumes are almost done……but […]

Gumball Machine Costume…a very Low-Sew project!

In case you missed it, I shared Elli’s Glinda costume yesterday.  And yes, she asks if she can wear it every single day.  (But I’m kind of a mean mom and won’t let them turn costumes into dress-ups until after Halloween.  Soon enough, little lady!)   . . . . .     I know, […]

Sneak Peek…….and darn you weather!

I have everything all ready to go to share with you Elli’s costume today.  Exceeeeeeeept, Elli IN the darn thing.   The costume is done.  And absolutely adorable on Elli.  She has kinda been in her own little heaven, walking around the house (ahem, dropping glitter), in her large and fluffy costume.  We tried several […]
