Doo be doo be doo bah

Per his request, I made my son's Perry the Platypus costume for Halloween. I couldn't have bought one if I wanted to, even online they were sparse and hideous. I'm all about sewing Halloween costumes, when hot glue guns, velcro, and unfinished edges are perfectly acceptable.

The head piece was made by using a baseball cap as a base, with foam used to shape the rest of the head and the beak. I could only find a black fedora, but, amazingly I bleached it and it turned out the perfect brown.

A few of the photos that I took of Frankie on a lovely, cloudy day. I can't believe he's so big.

Little Red Tree

We spent a weekend in the Mountains, and the leaves were beautiful.
