With thanksgiving looming around the corner I figured I'd better get to my post about halloween.
A couple months before(it may even have been 3 or 4, as this kid definitely plans way ahead😉😉) LiLi drew this sketch of what she wanted to be for halloween & mentioned it weekly to make sure I was doing my part & figuring out how to make it. Of course me, being me, headed off to the store the week before, spent a zillion dollars on fabric & managed to snag this hat which was almost identical to the one she had designed! Score one for Nana! It needed to be done the friday before & true to my schedule I went over with it Thurs night for a final fitting. She absolutely loved it but made sure to tell me I had reversed the black & white on the skirt😜😜 I also had to take a pair of scissors & cut this beautiful dress while she was instructing me on how it should look. In case you are wondering, the blotchy stains on the bodice are supposed to be blood!
Don't you love the way she really gets into character?
She did her own hair & makeup
I think she liked it! Every year I think this is the last year I'll be making a costume but she is already planning for next year!
Let's not forget the fur babies.
Molly's costume didn't show up in time😥

LiLis costume is amazing. You really are so talented. Luna looks so cute and in my never humble opinion, I think Molly was the lucky one. What’s the equivalent for bah humbug on Halloween? Well that’s me.
