Check out this lucky pair of Aces!!
Stephanie of And Twins make 5! created these super cute (and comfy) no-sew costumes using a pillowcase, iron-on letters, some black felt and transfer paper. The result? A winning pair & two incredibly cute spades and clubs. Head on over to her site to read all the details.
Great idea for Halloween, but might also be fun for the good old dress-up box, No? Or an Alice in Wonderland Party? Hmm, my wheels are turning …
Thanks Steph!!

I’ve gotten alot of requests recently to share my personal creations here on the website, and there’s something I must confess — while I have no issue publishing all the creative things I find during my countless hours scouring the Blog World, I’m a bit camera shy when it comes to publishing my own endeavors. Nevertheless, I’ve been working up the courage for quite some time now and I guess if I have to make a personal debut … what better time then now!
These were my toddlers handmade costumes last year and they were quite a hit with my kids and the neighborhood. I made them, literally, at the last minute {at work even, shhh}. In fact, I got about halfway through with them and was called away to an important meeting {I spent the entire meeting imagining my fate as the Worst Mother Ever and my kids not having any costumes for trick-or-treating}. Fortunately for me, I happened to work with the best darned group of people in the entire Air Force {world even} and when I got back to my office – well after quitting time, I found these sitting on our conference table – THE MOST ADORABLE CARDBOARD HORSES I had ever layed eyes on. I still get teary eyed just thinking about my team of Airmen cutting templates, gluing eyes and ears, and curling ribbons together ~ all in the name of Halloween.
Now that’s a great Halloween story, don’t you think? I can make this template available if anyone should request it.

I DO! I DO!
Ellen from The Long Thread has long been a hero of KSW since sharing her Scrappy Owl Treat bag last year. I’ll go as far as to say, she has outdone herself this year with this simple, DIY owl costume. I want to make one for everyone in my family {except the baby – he’ll still be the superhero owl posted below}
Happy Halloween!

By now, you all know I have somewhat of an infatuation with all things {Owl} and {Handmade} … which is why I am swooning over this Masked Baby Owl costume from Martha Stewart.
Go on, admit it ~ you’re taken by this one too!

Have you seen this handmade Hawaiian snow globe costume?
Now that’s creative! My only concern … how does she grab the candy? Read all about how this Mom pulled it off on Flickr.
Update: I got an email from the DAD who made this costume, he assured me he made plenty of air holes and installed a giant hole for her to grab candy (good thinking Dad). I can’t imagine coming up with anything this awesome, I’m thinking this Dad needs to go into the costume business. How about you?
