Halloween Costumes 2011



This year we went Japanese.
I talked the girls into it by saying they were Japanese Princesses..which they were!
Their costumes were really fun to make, I love all the fun shiny fabrics.









(I didnt make Lukies costume...but had to search long and hard for a red dragon!)

Halloween lanterns



I saw one of these in a local boutique, and decided to make my own.
I ordered a bunch of orange and black lanterns here. I only painted the one with an own, then painted polka dots on all the black ones. Made it easy to decorate the backyard!

This was a fun easy craft for the 2 year old playgroup kids!
