The calamity begins.

I absolutely love and hate Halloween in equal measure. It seems no matter how much I TRY to plan ahead things just do not work as intended then I spend days before in a sewing frenzy **sigh**.  I left my leather sides at my mother's house in another state and she cannot find them. I do not have the time or funds to get together more for Astrid so for now she has to go on the back burner. Elaina was very good about it as I promised to make it for another event. What we think we are going to do is turn her into a live version of her American Girl Doll :)  Well, technically it is Target's MY GENERATION but they are produced by the same company and for $70+ dollars less, I will take it.

Halloween is fast approaching and of course the kids cannot pick anything quick and simple.  I am starting with the little one's costume, as I am having to utilize my VERY LIMITED knitting skills. She wants to be Astrid from how to train your dragon.
