The kids are basically my dolls.
As I was thinking about sewing a few dresses for Maggie, I got to thinking about Halloween. My mother sewed all of my costumes growing up - and I LOVED them. I was a fairy, a princess, a witch - and still my favorite.... a watermelon slice.
My watermelon slice costume was better than the above - the rind was on the bottom - and I had more seeds.Anyway, I'm daydreaming of making Cam's costume. I'm thinking either a lion (his favorite stuffed animal is a lion) or a dog (he LOVES dogs). Big decisions.

I envy your artistic skills!! That is awesome that you can make them things to wear.
My favorite Halloween costume of all time was when I was a Sandwich. All my friends wanted to go as witches, I didn't, so I made myself a Sandwitch costume.
My mom made a lot of our costumes growing up, but, I do not have those gifts she does. But, I think it would be really cool to have a handmade costume.
I don't know if it was my favorite, but in 3rd grade I was a bunch of grapes. Purple ones. They were a TON of stuffed felt oval shapes, pinned all over a body suit with a green leafy collar. The bad part though, was that I had a costume contest in school and was left to put it on alone... I think my head was through the leg hole, or some such nonsense. Anyway, I won a prize!
Damn, I'm jealous of your craftiness. You will have to show the finished product!
Go crafty momma! I'm jealous, I used to sew before I had the kiddos but I just can't find the time or motivation anymore.
I *love* the watermelon costume!
