Hope you’re listening to some Halloween tunes. If not, here’s one I find myself listening to even when it isn’t this time of year. (I’m still hooked!)

Click. Listen. Enjoy.

My Body’s A Zombie For You. By Dead Man’s Bones.

Happy Halloween! From Snow White, a Fairy & Pocahontas.

Skirt & dresses all made & designed by me. (It was a very busy week of sewing.)

I still LOVE the Rocketeer! This kid has got style. More Halloween costumes should have such dedication. It is afterall, the best time to show off your creativity & handiness compared to every other Holiday we’ve created (unless you make handmade gifts of course.)

Cosplaying Kid of the Day: Proving that being the best dad ever wasn’t a one time deal, photographer Jim D. Griffioen — who you may remember from dressing his son up in a homemade RoboCop costume last year — returns with a 20th anniversary homage to one of his son’s favorite movies: The Rocketeer.

Over on his blog, Griffioen describes how he pieced the costume together for pennies using a bike helmet, a cheap Iron Man mask, a couple of thrift-store jackets, a couple of Pepsi bottles, a few found items, a lots of elbow grease.

Oh. My. God.

So if we ever have kids… Just saying

It’s my birthday today & this was make cake last night. Barbie birthday cakes were what I grew up with & was craving the design & nostalgia this year. Making a bundt cake the barbie goes in the middle & the cake becomes the dress. Pretty simple & very fun.

I’m not sure how she ended up at Wonder Women (with a Green Lantern marking) but I guess she’s just dressed up for Halloween too. Unfortunately the “W” melted very badly.

These sleeves are actually becoming the most challenging part of the whole outfit. Might have to take liberties & make them more like water wings. Silly me didn’t make the top suitable for sleeves to attach. Like I said, it’s all an experiment & this is just a quick sketch:

“Quick Snow White sketch to get my mind wrapped around the sewing process. Gotta love travel train downtime.”

I have to say my costume is coming along just as well as planned. I never know since I don’t use a pattern & most times I’m short on the stock pile of fabric I have. I’ll be working on sleeves tonight. This is definitely a good personal CUExperiment challenge for me.
