Late!

Considering I actually haven't created any posts for this blog in forever, this submission isn't technically late as much as it is out of season :). Since I've been on a roll these past couple days, I figured I'd add this too, what the heck!!

Last Halloween after seeing the very genius and crafty work of my dear friend Renee, I vowed that this Halloween I would make my daughter's costume. After 100's of different ides, from her of course, she and I finally settled on her being an "owl princess" which in laymen terms simply just means an owl. I know, I know owls are not very scary or humorous but this is what the child wanted so the mommy made it happen.

This is the tutorial that I used which is very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you to Elle Kate for the inspiration and direction!

I really enjoyed making this costume and seeing it all come together. The hardest part, besides threading my needle with invisible thread, was making the mask. I wasn't able to get the eye holes right after repeated tries so I simply created her headband like mask like a lot of the costumes offer now and days. Since I hand sewed the feathers it took me a bit longer but it wasn't a hard task at all.

Thank you to Megan at Megan Coleman Photography for all of the great photos!
