Costumes

To say I like making things for my girls just might be an understatement. I LOVE making things for my girls. I love to make dresses, applique shirts, sew blankets, etc. etc. But more than anything else, I LOVE when Halloween rolls around and I get to make their costumes! Every year I look forward to this time of year when I can start thinking about what I want, and then making it. This year Nora is OBSESSEED with flamingos. We had a "mingo" birthday party and no sooner was it over was she ready to tell me that she was going to be a "mingo" for Halloween as well. I'll be honest, at first I thought how in the heck am I going to make a "mingo" costume. Thankfully there is this handy dandy site that I am majorly addicted to called http://www.pinterest.com/ that had a picture that was super easy to copy. Wanna see the end result? Here it is:

I may be biased, but if I must say so, I think she is the cutest darned flamingo EVER =0)
