My little fairy has wings

Halloween Wingless Fairy

What good is a fairy costume sew-n-show without wings. Ah well. K will have to earn her wings because she has been a troublemaker lately. Hopefully she will earn them by Halloween by doing many good deeds for her mommy. Kidding. Not up to sewing them this year so we will buy some cheap ones that never stay up. Sorry K, mommy is tired. The skirt was a project I started but never finished because I couldn't figure it out and wasn't that impressed. Well, Halloween is less than a week away so this was perfect. Gotta be impressed about making a costume out of something that was boung for trash. The shirt has little silver stars all over it. I plan on making a little wand with a star so it is perfect. The head band was made by mom for my sisters wedding. I just add a little to it to tie it in. Girlie girl is happy with the skirtbut hasn't seen the rest. Can't wait for her to see it. I will post a s-n-s with her wearing it later.

Ufo time

UFO...is and unfinished project. I am now down to ONE UFO. Yah. The shirt was too short. I mean I did cut it out 2.5 years ago. I am not smart enough to learn my embroidery machine so it ate part of the pocket...hence the iron on patch. Oh well, they are play clothes so who cares. I love this pattern for playing in. It can be worn in every season here by the coast.

Went to the pumpin patch last weekend. Kids had a blast. K knew she wanted a white one...an hour later she found "the one". Battery was dying in camera...boo hoo....so this is as good as it gets.
