101st Post!

Happy Halloween from the Peters! 

We had a Toy Story theme going... Dennis was Woody, I was Bo-peep and Clara was our little Sheep. I love home-made costumes. I hope Clara loves them when she gets older!

 She practiced saying "Ba ba ba" all week...

 Clara and her loyal sheep dog, Ambrosius.

 We made her costume (the night before halloween) out of three sweaters I found for 25 cents each at the second-hand store. It was my first experience sewing clothing without a pattern. I used a pair of pj's as a guide. The best thing was I didn't have to finish any edges because it was made from knit and fleece! The black was taken from the ribbed sleve and bottom edges of the sweater. The pink was fleece and I just "appliqued" it on with a zigzag stitch, and her hat was the neck of the turtleneck tied with a scrap (No sew hat! Dennis is a genious.) The back is just fastened with hook & eye closures. Oh, Dennis also came up with the idea of a detachable tail so that she didn't have to sit on it in the car seat.

I bought extra sweaters to try and refashion for Clara this winter.... We will see if I ever get around to making them! And then it takes even more effort to post about them! Hahaha.

P.S. I finally saw Toy Story 3 today... It was pretty cute! The first is still my favorite though. :)
