Halloween fun...

Which has nothing to do with my journey to better health...

But it was fun - and something I worked on all week, so I am sharing it. 

I woke up on Monday with a Post-It note on my computer...  My girls know, if they want anything done - this is the best way to make sure I see it.  Sad, I know.

The Post-It had a list of costume requirements...  Allison and her boyfriend had decided to be Mickey and Minnie for Halloween...  Which means...  I needed to get to work.

So, all week long, in the off hours of my work days, I was sewing and creating their costumes.  I guarantee - if they had chosen anything, but Disney - I would not have been as passionate about it. 

But they chose Disney, and I was in my glory!

I started off making Allison's skirt... And she was thrilled with how it turned out! Which, in my life, never happens. Big time score for Mom. Whoohoo!




Then, I came up with a brilliant idea for their shirts...  But there was just no way I could get them done on time if I did them by hand.  So, I did an SOS call on Facebook, and one of my very talented digitizer friends (Heather of froufroubyheathersue.com) did a last minute favor (Thanks Heather) and digitized my idea!  I was soooo excited - because this pulled everything together for me.  Score again!

Since this was a new design, and no one had ever stitched it before - I had to test it before I put it on their shirts...  So this took a lot of time too. 

Aside from that...  I was shopping all week, looking for items to complete Gus' outfit...  It was kind of crazy - but the end result was totally worth it! 

 



The kids were thrilled, and they had a great time. And I got to do some fun Disney sewing! Life is good!

Looking forward to next year - as Allison is cooking up another Disney theme.  <3
