Happy Halloween!


When I was growing up, which really wasn’t all that long ago, Halloween seemed to have more of a homemade aspect to it. I don’t remember my mom ever buying my siblings and me costumes. Rather, we were left to our own resourcefulness to come up with a suitable and entertaining outfit for the day. We probably took trips with my mom to the local thrift store to find some pieces that could be put to work with a little creativity. And my mom would have helped us with a bit of sewing and face painting. Back “then”, there wasn’t so much pressure to have a perfect Halloween costume — the more creative, the better the costume!!

This year, in an effort to make life more homemade, economical, and environmentally conscious I made Evelyn’s Halloween costume. It really was the simplest design, but I think it turned out pretty cute. And, the most important critic — Evelyn! — seems delighted with it!

I took an old white cotton pillowcase, cut three holes in it, and voila! A perfect ghost costume for a sweet little 16 month old!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
