I did a very similar party for my daughter's birthday this year. Pepridge farm goldfish mixed into chex mix looks very much like cat food. We also made ear headbands, colars, and "doggie" bags to take home. I used liquid eyeliner to make wiskers on the kids faces. They went nuts over the whole theme!

give me some ideas of what you are into. You are on craftster so you like to be creative, right?

Wow! That is increadible. You got every detail perfect! I love how you used the same color intinsity that is in the book. I only wish I had thought of the idea!

I forgot to say how I made the costume! So here it is.
I took a black sock and cut the foot off. Then I cut arm holes to make a doggie sweater. I found thi little man at the dollar store. He was perfect. His arms and legs were wired so I was able to position them how I wanted. You can't see it in the picture but, I sewed a piece of cream colored yarn around the top of the sock and to the toy hands so it looked like he was holding on. I sewed the legs of the rider to the sock/sweater and away we went! Cooper is used to wearing sweaters so he didn't even notice the little man.
When he would play the man would bounce around and look funny.

Thanks! Cooper is a Brussles Griffon. He has a little body, but BIG personality!

Cooper wanted to be something very masculine for halloween since he is so small,( 6 lbs.) He thought of a cop, cowboy, fireman, or wrestler. After a long talk this is what we came up with. He was happy. He realy got into his roll as bucking bull.

that is so cute. How did you shorten the zipper without it coming apart?

I like kitty in the pictures also.

Where did you get the cute little wings that you have on in the last picture you posted where you are wearing the long skirt.
By the way I LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit. can I steal your idea?
