Mama Peacock & her offspring!

So, how was your Halloween?

Our day started with a grumpy little peacock who didn't want to put on her costume! :(
But it seems that after seeing her little friends at day care with their costume on, the little miss finally enjoyed herself! :)

I tried to snap a few pictures to share with you guys...please note that some pics have been taken at 5:30am, with my Iphone, under poor lighting! Ha! ;)
And unfortunately, it was quite difficult to take picture of my lil' pumpkin in her outfit!!! Let's just say she didn't really want to collaborate!

Show off your tail feathers!

Our only "Mother-Daughter" Peacock picture!

Hope you had a great Halloween! :)

It's HALLOWEEEEEEEEENNN!!!!

I TOTALLY had to share this with you because I was simply too freakin' excited about it!
A few months ago (while I was still on mat leave and pinning away like crazy on ...you guessed it...Pinterest!) I came across this amazing peacock costume and totally fell in love!

Cutest peacock ever!!!!

I decided that it totally had to be my lil' pumpkin 1st real Halloween costume (because last year, she was about 6 months & I had put together this very last minute "mermaid" costume...so it doesn't really count as her 1st REAL costume! Haha!)

So last weekend, I bought all the supplies I needed (basically tulle, felt, elastic...that's about it!), created my little pattern for the peacock feather pieces and started sewing away! Here's a sneak peek of the work in progress...

Lots of feathers!

A cute little mask...will she keep it on? That's another story! ;)

Try on her tutu...it's coming along great!

I ended up with enough fabric to also do an adult version for myself! Call me Mama Peacock! ;)
Stay tuned for more pictures...if I'm able to snap some of the little one in her outfit! :)

Happy Halloween!!!!! :)
