The Return of Crafty Me

so, saturday i was a little panic-y. i had no costume for the sprout-man. eeek! so i ran around. i bought a black turtleneck onesie here and 5 squares of felt there. i came home and that evening i created this....

bat wings on back of black onesie

bat head "hood" (sitting on a blue ball)

once again sorry for the less than stellar photos on the poker table! ;) but i think i did a decent job for less than $6 and one nights work. ok, little lie. i had to wait for the glue to dry on the ears before i attached them, so technically they weren't attached until the next evening. but hey, close enough!
i learned something that evening- i stink at hand stitching. oooooh boy i'm i BAD. we'll be lucky if this thing holds together! he he! i guess i need some practice before my next crafty project. :)

so now what you've all been waiting for. what the kids look like in these get ups! here's sprout as the littlest bat.....

and bean as his side-kick, the pinkest flamingo!

and here is the ONLY shot i got of them anywhere near each other.neither child really wanted their picture taken. sprout alternated between screaming his fool head off and smiling his sweet little grin. bean just couldn't stand still. so my photo shoot plans went all to heck. (plus it snowed the morning i took these and was gray and icky outside the whole rest of the day which led to horrible lighting for taking pictures.) luckily there is still several days before halloween and i may have a second chance at my desired photo shoot.... maybe. you never know with a three year old and a 7 month old!

so that is may trip into the world of craftiness. i actually really want to make something else. it was so satisfying. i have no ideas on what else to make but if i come up with something i'll be sure to let you know! ;)
