I was going through some old photos and realized that I never shared Austin’s funny baby costume from a few years ago. It’s way too cute not to share, so better late than never. I created some templates, so you can make this game boy baby costume yourself. It’s so easy and inexpensive to make! […]
DIY Superhero Costumes
My kids still love to dress up as superheroes and run around the house. I hope they never grow out of it! Well, actually that’s a lie.

DIY Batgirl Costume from a T-Shirt
Miss Audrey decided that she was going to be Batgirl for Halloween. Costumes are so expensive, and made of such cheap material, so I try to DIY them when I can. I had this idea to transform a kid’s shirt and an extra large adult shirt into a a Batgirl shirt and cape for her. […]

DIY Bee Costume

Adult Superhero Mask Patterns
I haven’t been feeling especially crafty this week. Instead, I’ve been using my time to get some things done that I’ve been putting off.

Halloween Lollypop Printables
I did it! I went to my first blogger event ever! I joined up with a group of local bloggers to check out a new See’s Candies store in the area. Ok, so it wasn’t a huge blogger conference or anything, but for an introvert like me, it was a big deal. I love me […]

Baby Owl Hat
As promised, here are some photos of the fleece hat that I made for Leah’s baby owl costume. You needed to see the whole picture, so I got her dressed back up in her owl costume this morning. (The Halloween night photos were all ugly with the bright flash.) I found a free pattern here […]
Halloween Hair Clips and Other News
I decided today (actually about 30 minutes ago) that my girls needed some Halloween clippies. Claudia from Crafty on Etsy sent me some samples of her beautiful wool felt! She sent me some larger samples of the orange, sunglown, and charcoal colors. The pieces were just screaming to have something Halloweenish (that’s a real word […]
