Previously posted as “Luke, I Am Your…Mother” in October 2008.
I have been searching everywhere for a Luke Skywalker costume! I found a few online, but the choices were very limited and expensive for what they were – mostly polyester. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any Luke costumes locally. I looked at Target, Walmart, and the Halloween [...]

I have been searching everywhere for a Luke Skywalker costume! I found a few online, but the choices were very limited and expensive for what they were – mostly polyester. Surprisingly, I couldn’t find any Luke costumes locally. I looked at Target, Walmart, and the Halloween store.
Since CJ’s heart was set on being Luke Skywalker I decided to make him a costume [...]

My little boy loves Wall-E. After we saw the movie in July he begged us every day to make him a Wall-E costume. Since we had lots of moving boxes we gave him an empty one to play with. That plain, brown box became Wall-E for quite some time. Then CJ asked for Wall-E hands and a “garbage [...]

Here is our boy CJ as Optimus Prime (or at least an Autobot) - can’t you see the likeness? CJ has been asking us for weeks to make him an Optimus Prime costume. His vision included cutting up dozens of boxes and creating a whole transformer outfit. DA, having already made a cardboard box WALL-E costume recently, didn’t really [...]

I know what you’re thinking – didn’t she already make photo tote bags? Well this is just a variation on the theme of transfer paper, but it did turn out pretty cute so I thought I’d share the idea and photos. I made this little pillow for my stepmom for her mother’s day present. She [...]
How To Make A Photo Tote Bag

These are the photo tote bags that I made for CJ’s teachers as a thank you gift last year. I wanted to give them something personal and useful. I took the photo under the guise of wanting to get a class photo – which was also nice to have. Before printing the photo I added [...]

These Easter Bunnies In A Basket are easy and fun to make! When I was a little girl my grandmother used to make puppies in a basket like this, so I thought it would be fun to make an Easter version. CJ and I got together with our neighbor today and each of the kids made one. [...]
