Not so much a mandrake. More a little girl drake, really.

A little something dug up on a moonless night...






I think I may need a larger pot.

I think it turned out pretty well for a costume I thought of on Tuesday; it helps that the day I can't pull a witch costume out of my closet is probably one where I'm out of town. Of course, we went and wandered around the mall for a little bit this afternoon and seven or eight people complimented my "awesome witch costume," four people asked what she was and had no idea what a mandrake was, and two people asked me if my hair was real. Silly normal people.

That is a very cute mandrake.

Thanks!

Of course, she was doing the thing with grinning so hard she looked like a little gremlin yesterday, which would have been even more appropriate.

That's fantastic, all the way around. :)

Thanks. :)

Well that's just clever. And adorable.

And it just goes to show that what I actually need is a deadline if I want to accomplish anything. (Tho making something where most of the garment pieces are straight lines did help, as the first problem with sewing at the moment is keeping her from eating pattern or scissors.)

That's awesome.

Thanks. :)

You might also be amused by the occasional cry of "Release the Babies of War!" as I put her down to crawl about. Of course, there's also the occasional problem where she immediately turns around and grabs my ankles...

This may explain why "let slip the Babies of War!" is not as common a phrase as one might imagine.

Though it does fit thematically with "Cry havoc! and..."

It probably helps if they're less emotionally attached to their handlers.

You're both lovely. Such awesome, awesome costumes! And, OMG, she's getting big.

Cuteness. I was thinking of random plant costumes yesterday (while putting my poor costumeless baby to bed), but did not come up with mandrake! M made due with a pumpkin hat.

Oh my gracious! That's the most original baby costume I've ever seen.

[aamcnamara.livejournal.com]

That is ADORABLE. And an impressive turn-around time!

That is a brilliant costume! I wish I had any sort of sewing/crafting skill so I could subject the corgi to all the costume ideas I have for him.
