I know it's been a minute since last year's Halloween, but I realized I never blogged it, so I had to add it here for posterity and all! Rory as Ken: all thrifted, except the wig from Amazon! Jess as Barbie: thrifted and Amazon as well! Ava as Slinky Dog: furry pj's from Amazon, and I added handmade details. Charlotte as Bo Peep: handmade dress … [Read more...]

After my last post I also realized I've been slacking for quite awhile with costume posts! I think it was because I wasn't making them all from scratch and I thought that didn't qualify them for the blog? whatever past me felt, present me would like to have a record here about them! Even if I only made parts of them! So first off, Rory and I. Rory … [Read more...]

Ok so forgive me for only have one iphone picture of these costumes! I was pregnant with Jack and was pretty much phoning it in. The girls' dresses I made with some knit from Joanns, color blocked with the appropriate colors, didn't finish any hems or anything! lol! I made Sadie's red bow from felt, and bought Charlotte's and Rory's wigs on … [Read more...]
Elsa frozen costume

So I mentioned that Sadie called being Elsa for Halloween, right? It was mainly because she already had the dress. Oh and yes she's obsessed with Elsa just like almost every little girl in America. When we headed up to visit Kristin in May, it happened to coincide with Em's birthday, which was Frozen themed! So I had to make Sadie a dress to … [Read more...]

So my kids are being super duper original. They are going as Frozen characters. I know, I know. However did we come up with the idea? ahem. warning: tons of pics ahead. So, Miss C is obviously...Anna! Sadie claimed Elsa way back in May when I made her dress (which I need to post still). Ava is probably going to be Olaf. The fabrics are … [Read more...]

Our Neverland crew
October 28, 2013 By 22 Comments
This year for our Halloween costumes, we went with Peter Pan/Neverland characters! (these pics are from our church party/trunk or treat) I had to cross dress again (but weren't most Peter Pan actors women for awhile, anyways?), but I'll gladly let my little gals take the girl parts of any ensemble. And before you think I forced any of them into … [Read more...]

Hooray! With only days to spare I finally made Charlotte's Halloween costume. Slacker much? I only say that because I made Sadie's a whole like....2 months ago.

She … [Read more...]
