"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Mouse Trap

I sew once a year, and once a year only. I like to make Halloween costumes. They are cute, and if you mess up it doesn't matter. Below is M's costume for this year. I only made her a hat, and then she is wearing overalls. She was originally going to be a Teddy Bear. When I finished the costume (I made part of the pattern myself) she decided to be a Mouse. Regardless, she's cute. I will post pictures of E's costume... a butterfly fairy.... when she wears it on Friday.



I like the little red hairs sticking out too.....

You really should(sew more that is), you have a crafty artistic talent!!! I think she should be a mouse in a Tutu (sp?) because that would be SO cute! I don't know why a mouse would wear a tutu, but then again, why would a little girl dress up as a mouse?

CUTENESS IN A LITTLE TINY BODY!!!

Jamie, I am IMPRESSED! Justin absolutely REFUSED to wear the Halloween costume I made him when he was 13 months old and I have never recuperated! This costume is ADORABLE...but, I have to admit, NOT as ADORABLE as what is IN IT!!!

Love,
