I guess we are out of the super cute fun fairies, and princesses stage.  She wanted to be the corpse bride.  Money has been tight, so I made the costume from fabric in my stash, and only bought a bit of yarn to make the wig and bouquet and a skeleton shirt from Walmart.  I had planned on making a flesh tone body suit and painting on the bones, but ran out of money and time.  I had a lot of fun with the makeup and she was the hit of the neighborhood. 





On the dress form:

Looks awesome - how did you get t to keep its shape - did it sit right on his head?

I used a pool noodle across the upper part of Domo so it would hold it shape, it did sit on his head.  The ends of the noodle sat on his shoulders right above the arm holes. 

I made this costume for my 16 year old son.  He had a blast and was the hit of the party.  I used felt for the body and teeth and mesh for the mouth so he could see out of his Domo.  The framework is a pool noodle.  Under it he was wearing a Domo t-shirt so he could still look cool and be in "costume" while they were watching scary movies.  I wish I had more time to work on it before the big day, but between Homecoming projects, my daughter's costume and Football I ran out of time.  I am still very Happy with the outcome. 

I love that Blue spiderweb fabric, but you are so right, I used it to line my son's Rock Star Jacket last year and I was finding blue glitter along the walkway until June I swear!  LOL

I have this patterned saved in my collection and have been looking for a time to start it.  I have never done a crochetalong, I think it would be fun!

ooo looks squishy- did you stitch the tag yourself too?

Yeah, I used my embroidery machine to stitch the name on two layers of ribbon.  Pretty simple.

I made this for a friend of mine that was going to a baby shower....its the second one she has had me make and is waiting for two more.  ( I guess its the Baby Boom)

The Blanket is made from Patons Happy Daze Melody Yarn in a simple granny square stitch.

I adore these, it makes me want to pull out my crochet bag again and get busy so I can make a lovely bag with them!   And to think of all the scrap yarn I could use up making Mollie Mollie flowers!!!

Created this little fella for my niece. Despereaux is one of her favorite books.




These pics were taken on our trip to meet Despereaux's new little lady.   He is a great guide, see him pointing the way?   He is a finger puppet, and was loads of fun to make!
