Happy Hallowe'en

[thanate]

Sing a song of sixpence:

(We tried to get a picture of her grabbing ("snapping off") my nose, but wiggling up and down the stairs was more fun.






She's learned how to work the gate by herself. (eep!)


Wiggle! With extra wing flapping.


Wings and fall garden.


Hood adapted from a hand-me-down commercial pattern spaceintheway sent a while back, and either I did the face hole wrong or their sizing is rather confused. Still cute, & this child's intuitive understanding of the art of dress-up means she'll wear it for 10-15 minutes at a time despite the tendency to flop down and cut off her upper field of vision. (Far better than not being able to see where she's going.) Wings are take 3-- there's a mostly finished very warm baby crow coat upstairs that still needs neck trim & fastenings, and a lovely pair of wings that she refused to have anything to do with (but they're big enough to keep in the costume closet for a few years, so maybe some other time.) This is two pieces of wool felt cut & whip stitched to a black sweater, and honestly I should have started with that in the first place. Notes to self: arm mobility is key. Toddlers look cute and do not feel cheated in simple costumes. Right then.
