Today I'll show ya (or try reeally hard to show ya) how to make the Rainbow Dash hoodie! Most of this came together well, except the hood was a little small for the neck part. I fixed that with a little pleat in front and it looks fine to me. Well, fine for a costume, ya know? ;) We'll take ears, mane... ...and wings of course!See below for the … [Read more...]

Sadie is flat out obsessed with the My Little Pony show-she has all the characters in toy form (and some doubles), sleeps with them at night, acts out the plots of various episodes....and her favorite pony has always been Rainbow Dash. No wonder, I mean...she can fly and her mane and tail are the colors of the rainbow! So when I asked her what she … [Read more...]

Star Wars geeks, that is. Well, our family costume theme started when a friend lent me an Ewok costume, then it all kind of came together in the last week. Sadie LOVED being Princess Leia, and everyone seemed to recognize her easily, which she liked. We had our church trunk or treat (handing out candy from the back of cars in the parking lot, safe … [Read more...]

We (and my "we" I mean Sadie) have been all over the place when it comes to deciding on a costume! First it was a butterfly, then pirates...which I just couldn't get excited about. Last week a friend loaned me an Ewok costume for Charlotte, and with A LOT of convincing, we got Sadie on board with being Princess Leia. I think the Princess part of … [Read more...]

Introducing: The Little Mermaid cast Sadie as Ariel, of course. The wig only lasted about an hour-but I was shocked it lasted that long! Rory as King Triton.. He looked fantastic! Very recognizable, (and handsome) I thought. He didn't like eating his wig half the time, but anyways...his was probably my favorite. Charlotte was … [Read more...]

Need a trick or treat bag to match your child's costume? I whipped this one out in no time-it's easy, cheap (I spent about $2 on supplies), and you can easily customize it to your child's costume! I made mine look like Flounder from the Little Mermaid movie, since Sadie is going to be Ariel. Now that I think about it, it kind of looks like I … [Read more...]

I love Halloween! We met at my parents house for a supper of Bat Wings and cornbread. YUM. Then, after a LONG wait for SOMEBODY who hadn't picked out a costume yet (JOANNA), we took off and went trick or treating at a few houses. Not too many cause Sadie was already tired and past her bedtime. Aww. the infamous Hershey's Kiss costume! Isn't she … [Read more...]
