October is finally here!

I'm so excited for the new month and Halloween. Almost every year, I am asked by friends and family to make Halloween costumes, cakes or decorations.

I made a few wreaths from fabric pieces. I found some cute decorations to make the wreath that much better.

 

Another favorite is making cakes. I've only done two pumpkin cakes but I love both.

 These cakes were done for a photo shoot for a catalog company I worked for. I'll be doing another post which features those cakes.

Last but not least, we have the costumes. I've crocheted and sewed these items.

 

This year is no different. I have been tasked with creating a family costume themed around Cinderella. The dad will be Prince Charming. The mom will be the Fairy Godmother. The oldest daughter will be Cinderella. The younger daughter will be a mouse. We went to the thrift store last week and purchased a few items for me to transform into these costumes. This is what I have to start with:

Halloween Costumes

I had several requests for Halloween costumes this year. I ended up making four. Three were for my nieces and one was for my friends daughter. All of them were unique and turned out adorable!!

 Remember the Frozen birthday? She needed to be Elsa for Halloween.

Craftiness of late

When I'm not reviewing products, I'm searching Pinterest for the latest cute craft. I had a friend request help with her daughter's Halloween costume. My friend is a single mom who has MS. I was excited to make something cute for a little girl.

My other friend requested a Halloween wreath and a small Batman birthday cake.
