It's been a while.. (and a little late)

And it will probably be a while still before I can properly get into the swing of blogging regularly. Life is far too topsy-turvy lately for anything resembling a routine. In the mean time, I have pictures!! (you'll have to excuse the poor quality, they were taken with my phone)

lolly pop ghost wreath I made

'carved' mandarins

paper bag luminaries that my sister-in-law (to be) made

my last minute 'Spider Woman' (apparently Betty Boop isn't 'scary' enough)

My sister as an undead scout

The Halloween Fairy

Betty Boop - The Costume

Betty Boop - The Costume by stormy-teacup featuring black gloves
There are a few costume parties on the horizon for me, one of which is a 'Cartoon Themed' party - I wanted to create a multiple use costume so that I'm not frantically pulling together a new costume every other week for the next few months. This will be an easy costume to keep on hand and whip out when necessary.

I've included a few different dress/shoe options to act as prompts while I'm brainstorming the dress I will eventually sew.

I also found two great tutorials on youtube for betty boop style make-up, so add a black and white spotty dog and I'm set!!
