In case anyone is wondering, I make their Halloween costumes every year. :) They were the cutest little tigers that year!
i don’t wonder. i just assume you make everything always ;)
I love making Halloween costumes even though I can’t sew very well. My son was a scarecrow this year and his costume was so adorable (and it cost 50 cents). Unfortunately, I have to admit that the kids usually get more goos and gahs about the Old Navy costumes that get handed down. It really makes me sad that the Halloween tradition of making or piecing together costumes is a lost art. :( My daughter’s hand made monarch costume a few years back was pretty darn good, but my son got all of the attention in a fuzzy caterpillar we borrowed.
i do know what you mean. sometimes, i wonder if it’s the younger kid cute-factor at play with the oohs and ahhs though? i hope? half the fun of hallowe’en is making the costume.
now i’m determined to do a roundup of homemade (some no-sew) costumes here for next hallowe’en. if anyone has got some photos or blog posts, share them with me. i refuse to believe that the handmade tradition is a lost art! :)
LOL, it’ll be so hard to decide! all my posts are of something “handmade” in a way or other : P
i know! i’m having the same issue, i want to play along this week and i’m trying to decide…
ooo Love this one…most of my blog…well back before I started adding lots of photography is handmade
we are off on a long weekend and won’t return until late Monday so I will miss playing along…I’ll be thinking of you all…not sure we have internet access where we’re headed
Happy Friday oxo
p.s. my info was waiting for me in the spaces above :)
happy weekend, patty. enjoy being unplugged! (and good, i’m glad whatever i didn’t do fixed that problem ;))
this is a theme i can particpate in :).
i’m cringing at the photos, though.
i wonder if i should have chosen an old halloween post instead? where i dressed up as a jellyfish? ah, decisions.
oh you’ve got to share that jellyfish sometime. maybe sea creatures should be next week’s theme! ;)

I’m playing along this time!
YaY.
I don’t have many photos of myself on my blog – you know, I’m the girl behind the camera. But this scarf I had to model though, (my 3 year old or my husband didn’t match the look I was going for ;). The season is just right for this one too ;)
Have a great weekend everyone!
ps. we just went to see Santa this morning, so I’m all in the spirit of Christmas ;D
I need to decorate something with sparkly things. So that’s what I’ll probably be doing this weekend. xoxo
so fun to have you join in this week ella! i didn’t say it the first time i read that post, but it’s a beautiful shawl. bella ella :) and i’m often behind the camera, too, so i know what you mean. though i managed to peek out from it this one time.
have a great weekend! enjoy the sparkly things.
the handmade item I picked of mine was one of those things that are really simple but surprise you by how effective they are. i love it when that happens. – i thought i’d type in your language
well hello there paula, you are fluent in lowercasese. welcome! off to read your post, i’m curious now…
Yay! I think I snuck in under the deadline… obviously, I love highlighting other people’s handmade goodies, but this post has a couple of my projects in it, too :)
i am so glad you shared sarah, it’s nice to learn about your other talents.
See what happens when I’m gone? I miss all the exciting posts. Just look at all the handmade goodies. I’m excited to go check them all out. :) Thanks for the Friday Archive Dives, Ana. I really enjoy them!
hey alyssa, you almost missed all the fun. i’m glad you like the archive dives. this week’s was especially fun for me, glad you snuck in at the end there ;) thanks for contributing the topic, i think it has been the most popular one yet.
Such a hard choice since most things I post about are handmade. Food? Knitting? Sewing? Other Crafts? I tried to dive a little a deep though and opted for something that is pretty quick to do if someone is looking for some gift ideas yet.
i just checked it out kristi. thanks for sharing something different. you can stop it now with all your talents already. kthx. ;)
Thanks again for hosting this Ana! It has been a lot of fun seeing what everyone else has made.
I must apologize for my error last week by posting the wrong theme :o I will pay better attention from now on!
no worries halima. i thought perhaps the “furry” part was an inside joke. i thought it was a cute entry. glad you shared :)
I’m diving in this coming Friday (if I have an appropriate post)–very excited!
