Halloween 2009
We had a cheerful pumpkin (courtesy of our neighbor, the wizard seamstress), a last minute Harry Potter, a knight, and a B.C. cheerleader.
(with her blankie and a sticker from Friday's well visit)
The glasses were a good find at the dollar store. The cape was the result of an evening of frenzied sewing and inside-out-turning. And the wand, which I am proud to say made,looks better in person. It's copper wire-wrapped handle, poplar dowel, stain, wax-rubbed finish, and a "crystal" bead courtesy of a geneerous co-worker (with a truck full of beads):
Fussing over her beloved pumpkins:
Getting her first pigtails:
Hardly any kids at our house (29, I believe), but ours each collected a bulging sack of treats. They came home early and sorted through their candy, and then dumped the rejects into our bowl for redistribution to unsuspecting late trick-or-treaters Mwa-ha-HA!
