halloween!

I love Halloween. I love the candy, the decorations and all the dressing up. What's even more fun than that? Dressing up an adorable baby.

Last year Lucy was a cozy lion. This year we went to fairy land.

This was the original loot gathered to make Lucy's fairy costume (all purchased at Target for under $20) - all inspired by these adorable wings purchased at the Renaissance Fair (for a price that I wish was closer to $20). The dye is from the fabric store.

You'll see in a moment that I pull a switcheroo. The tights pictured above did not work out at all. I bought clothes I thought would be comfortable and then dye them to match the wings. I got it stuck in my head that I wanted to do striped tights. My first attempt didn't work. Then, "take two" with some white leggings:

Success! And pretty cute, huh?

Finally, a fairy princess.

Today is still just the 30th, so there is still more fun to come. I just couldn't wait to share a sneak peek.
