Last year I decided to be Mystique from X-Men. I didn’t just want to paint myself blue and wear a bikini though. I wanted to be HARD CORE and make prosthetic pieces and look like Rebecca Romijn in the movies. After all, I was going to Heidi Klum’s Halloween Party in Las Vegas and only … Read more
This picture is from Halloween 2011. The picture was taken about an hour before we were snowed in and lost power for a week. We spent our Halloween snowed in playing cards with candles just laughing about how we spent weeks on our costumes and never got to show them off. So now I am showing them in … Read more
Who doesn’t like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?! Choosing Raphael & Donatello was our first step. Next, using scrap fabric to make our spiffy belts, we drew on the letters with metallic sharpies.

Obviously Wonder Woman isn’t the most original costume idea ever, but I went with a whole 80’sish costume theme for my kids and I. I absolutely loved this costume, and I was so satisfied with how it came out. I wanted a skirt, those legs aren’t meant to be in some leotard. I used a … Read more
My son (5 years old) dreamed of being Batman for Halloween. He also dreamed of having Robin as his sidekick, but when older sister backed out – it was left to dear old dad to save the day. With little time (5 days) and a little budget, around $20, we compiled this amazing, if I … Read more
