Here's what we've been up to...
I have not been hibernating. This is what I've been up to...
I have spent every waking and sleeping hour for the last three weeks designing a pattern for and making Aubrie's 'Queen Amidala' costume. It turned out very nicely, if I do say so myself.
I was looking at these photos from http://www.padawansguide.com/red_invasion_gallery.shtml to make the pattern.
Keeley didn't want to be anything to do with Star Wars. She loves the kimono I made for Aubrie a few years ago.
With a twist!
Chinese Vampire.
Henry wanted to be Anakin. Easy, no sewing involved.
Accidentally bought one size too big, maybe I can convince him to wear it for the next few years. I won't hold my breath.
Jesse the Storm Trooper. Also no sewing involved.
Andee in her homemade, but not by this mom, Yoda outfit. Purchased on eBay for $5, thank you very much!
The weather couldn't have been better for our annual trunk-or-treat. Cool, slight breath of a breeze. No coats required.
Of course this year Keeley went to bed with a tummy ache. Hopefully she won't barf at 2 a.m. this year. I won't hold my breath for that one either.
