Every year I make a new Disney costume. Two years ago it was Maleficent, last year it was Princess Aurora, this year the Homemade Evil Queen from Snow White Costume.

2 1/2 year-old Caroline is infatuated with Little Orphan Annie!! Instead of the usual “trick or treat”, she crooned her off-key rendition of “The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow” at each doorstep! Obviously, she’s our extrovert… Her older siblings NEVER would have been so bold! This was one of my easiest home made costumes yet! … Read more
