Costume making and knitting

It's been busy here with sewing and knitting.

Here's little Patric's parrot costume. Luc wants to be a pirate so once he gets his costume and puts it on, I'll show you a photo. This costume idea came from a link that was sent to me by Mary Anne of Magpie's Mumblings. She sent it to me as an addition to the boys' tickle trunk. Little did she know that I was supposed to make Patric a parrot costume. The timing was perfect. Thank you Mary Anne. All the felt, stuffing and fleece came from my stash.

And on the knitting front, I made another hat for little Teemu. I finished it in time for the little girls to try on so I could see if the size was right for them. I just have to find some nice soft yarn. I bought this Red Heart yarn because I wanted to make a hat and I wanted to use variegated yarn.

I'm linking up with The Needle and Thread Network.

    That is a nice little hat. There are so many lovely variegated yarns these days.
