I know you all have great Crafty stuff to show today with all the Halloween costumes running around last night, so let’s get started here…
Before we trick-and-treated, we did have to pay a visit to our little new baby friend, who just isn’t so “little” or “new” anymore. But we finally got our baby gift over to the new baby Lacey.
A version of the pillowcase dress, but made out of one of my favorite fat quarters, not a pillowcase.
And we got some new labels and tags.
And then it was time for Halloween. Vic guessed Em’s costume correctly last week. After reading Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory while we were in North Carolina last month, and then seeing the (very trippy) movie, Em decided that she wanted to be an Oompa Loompa.
And I gave her what she wanted.
I think it turned out really great – and she got tons of compliments, although some younger kids had no idea what she was…but with the green hair and orange face, they were a little frightened of her, I think.
This was actually taken before Halloween because we went to trick o’ treating at J’s office, so we made some adjustments to the costume because Em was studying the video and…Hey! They also have stripes on their arm cuffs. And pom-poms on her shoes! So we added all of these to last night’s attire. She is a bit of a perfectionist, I can’t imagine who she got that from.
And Addie wanted to be a Monarch butterfly. Not just a butterfly, specifically a MONARCH butterfly. And she was. And it was the easiest costume ever. But I figured I deserved an easy one.
What Halloween goodness do you have to share today?
Bean you did an amazing job on the girl’s costumes. They both are so cool. The little dress is such a cute idea.. I also like your labels and tags.
Have a good day.
Love to all
Emma makes the cutest little Oompa Loompa. You did an awesome job on the costume. Addie is adorable too. I love that they both were very specific about what they wanted to be for Halloween. I have a little something up today.
I love both of their costumes. The Ooompa Loompa is very original, I love it!
Emma is the best looking oompa loompa ever! LOVE that idea and love your execution. So cool. Sweet monarch Addie makes me smile, too.
The labels and tags! LOVE them, my friend!
Love the pillowcase dress so much
BUT love the Halloween costumes more.
Ooh, such crafty goodness. What to comment on first? Love the fat quarter dress, and the tags and labels. So posh! The girls look delightful. You always turn out the best outfits!
That Oompa Loompa is a knockout! What attention to detail!!! Em must have been on happy bunny as she walked around showing off her Ma’s cleverness!! I particularly like your labels and tags too. Very spiffy. But please tell me, what is a fat quarter?????
I am a Halloween fanatic and all I can say is ….WOW…the OoomPa Loompa is awesome!! The butterfly is adorable, too. Super cute costumes!!!!
Emma Grace is most definitely her mother’s daughter! Too cute though…you did a fabulous job on the costume!
