Hooray for Halloween

I LOVE halloween!! There are so many ways to show off creativity. I love it. This year I told my boys they could be anything they wanted to be and I would try my best to make it happen. My 5-year-old decided pretty quickly on a cowboy sheriff after seeing a really cool cowboy set at BigLots (one of my fav. places to shop). My husband was quite happy at this decision because the choice before this was a pixie. By no means a "manly" costume. lol.

My 4-year-old, on the otherhand, had a new idea everyday....dragon, police man, firefighter, dinosaur, bumble bee from transformers, etc. I got started on the cowboy outfit and (as I predicted to my husband) as soon as it was finished I then had a second request for cowboy gear. Fine with me. The outfit finished in about two hours....not bad at all if you ask me. It was the chaps that I made, everything else I had or bought :)

Next was the baby. I knew right away that I wanted her to be a fairy (hooray for fairies!!) I just didn't know exactly how I wanted to do her fairy costume. After a little serching around I stumbled upon tutus. Love them, love them, love them. Of all the adorable tutus I saw I think I have her costumes picked for the next 10 years lol. And so I bagan. I couldn't stop there though. I didn't want to just buy any pair of fairy wings for her. I wanted them to match perfectly so I decided to make my own. Not only were they less expensive then anything I had looked at previously but, in my opinion, they were a lot cuter :) Here's a pic.
