A Little Late Halloween

This is for my mom who wasn't able to get the pictures that I emailed.

Grace is Boo from Monster's Inc.
Two days before Halloween, I tried talking her into Ariel, The Little Mermaid. That's an easy costume and one that I've made years ago for Ashley. (This isn't the best photo. It was scanned into my computer, and the pixels are way too big.)

But, no. Grace was determined to be Boo. So that meant coming up with a design and sewing all night! I wasn't too happy with the feet. They look okay, but they wore out very fast, and I had to hot glue them to her tennis shoes. I like costumes that last and can be played with all year. So I need to tinker with the foot design. Otherwise, I was pleased with the finished product.

Fraser is Luke Skywalker. The Luke Skywalker from The Return of the Jedi. I guess the color of his light saber was the determining factor for which movie he was from. And it had to be all black.

And Eric in his recurring Harry Potter theme is Severus Snape. Last year he was Ron Weasley.

So I'm done with costumes until next year. Oh, there's the kid's Christmas program to do. And the spring plays...
