Craftober

October is becoming my annual craft/creation month! Craftober!

So I made two more mums since my last post. These were for two of my senior babies from my previous school. They're my senior babies because I had them in classes since their freshmen year which was my first year teaching them.























































I actually made that little bear's uniform. So cute! And I love how the military braids came out all curly.



















I also decorated a pair of overalls to wear on theme days at work. We do - in fact - have an overall day since we are the Fighting Farmers. I don't think I'm finished with them. At least I got them to a decent point to be able to wear them. We had a total of 3 overall days. I missed two because I couldn't find any overalls. But I was able to find some right after our second day for $5! Snatched those puppies up!

































I love owls so I had to put that little patch on there. And I love swallows too. Dangit, I just love birds in general.


And, then of course I made Ivy's Halloween costume. This year, she was Foofa from her favorite... Yo Gabba Gabba! She loved it. It only took me 3.5 hours for everything. I didn't have a pattern so I just winged it. Came out pretty good! We took her to Denton for the Day of the Dead Festival the Saturday before Halloween. She got to trunk or treat, play a game to win some candy and just enjoyed the day.



















On Halloween, she got dressed up again and we took her to her Uncle and Auntie's house for her very first trick-or-treating experience. She got a bunch of candy! After visiting for a little bit, we went to eat supper and then went to our friend, Lyn's for trick-or-treating.


































And my lame pumpkin for good measure. A haunted house.
