I'm in

I try, but I can't!

I've been trying to givbe my camera a little break. With so much work and cuteness going on it's kind of hard. Go over to my photo blog to see more Halloween fun!

Sistas

This is my rock awesome sister "A" Aint she cool! She found that dress at the thrift store and made tissue paper flowers for her hair, did up her day of the dead make up. She rocks!

We went to our other sister's house for our neices Halloween/birthday party. That sister is an awesome host! She knows how to cook yummy things and is a great and funny hostess!

In case you're wondering,

our mom rocks too:

Blustery

It's so windy today, something that is pretty typical for a New Mexican Autumn. It's funny how the wind gusts through the trees really sound like crashing waves at a beach!

I've had scoop neck jackets on the brain since I saw this one on flickr and then saw this Anthropologie jacket and used the peter pan tutorial I posted about previously and got such a fun jacket! I did messs up when I made the pattern, making the neck too high. So when I made my collar pattern it was too small, but I didn't realize it until I had completely made the collar and had no more fabric left. After trimming down the neck on the bodice, I just attached the colar where it would fit and it ended up like this...which I think did end up looking mighty nifty!

Witchy

I finished B's costume this week. She wanted to be a witch (obviously) and I wanted her to be something creative, so we met in the middle and she's got a cute Halloween outfit that she thinks is a witch costume ;)

I was inspired by a talented boutique style dress maker and a cute little skirt in a pic taken by a fellow photographer.

Are you working on your copy crafts?
