Yeee Haw!

So I just might be so excited that I actually finished my little ones Halloween costume before Halloween. I am always the one who realizes that Halloween is the next day {or the day of} and quickly puts something together. Usually its for me and the hubs and then my SIL {who has the skills in the sewing department} Would whip something up. {Like Tinker Bell, Dorothy, Little Bo peep etc…} seriously she is AMAZING!   

                The last two years however, she got married and now has one of the most adorable baby ; which has left me on my own. Last year was fine the little one wanted to be a monkey and all I did was get a brown sweat shirt hot glue some foam ears, buy a monkey tail {yes they sale them at Wal*Mart} some brown makeup, leggings and a homemade tutu and we were good.

        This year she wanted to be a cowgirl, and not just any cow girl but a very expensive {nice but expensive}   from ETSY that she saw on my Pinterest. Let me say I am not a streams tress, I did however take a sewing class in college and feel comfortable about figuring things out and making them.  So after looking at I thought I could do that and I am very pleased with the outcome. {Also on a positive note I didn’t even yell or get angry which is usually what happens when I am tired and sewing}

So I found  a simple A-line skirt patterned and figured it out. My favorite part of this skirt is the bustle.

I LOVE IT and most importantly my little cowgirl loves it. Today we went to get a full slip from target to make the skirt puffy.  My little one after trying it on looked at me and said “Sometimes a girl just wants to feel fancy, and today I do! “  I love me little one and the things she says make me giddy and proud.

{After taking the little ones picture she insisted on taking mine, and since I want to be Miss. Frizzle for Halloween she set up a “school back drop” notice the chalk and white board? {Also excuse my appearance but I had been sewing all day} }

               

What are you doing for Halloween? Are you making a costume or buying? Tonight I am going to make a trick or treat bag and then I am done! {On to Christmas}
