October was a such fun month for the G-Family. First off, we celebrated the Husband's b-day at Disneyland, it was Raffy's first trip and she got to meet Minnie and Mickey, just 14th months old and she can already say "Minnie" in the sweetest little voice, it just melts my heart. I got to do some autumn inspired baking, I made some caramel apples, pumpkin whoopie pies, and apples cakes, all were delish. I got the recipes for the Whoopie Pies and Apple cake from my favorite person, Ms. Martha.
Then there was Halloween and Raffy all dressed up like a ladybug.
This was the second year I made her costume (last year she was a Grecian goddess), and I think I will make it every year because it was so easy and what else, FUN!
I purchased the turtleneck bodysuit from target for $4. I also purchased the black tights for about $4 as well (not shown).
I sewed the wings that I made from felt onto each shoulder. Felt is such a great medium to work with.
The tutu was the most time consuming aspect of this costume. I used a sheer red fabric for the top layer of the skirt and added several layers of tulle for the underneath portion to give it volume. I hand stitched every little polka dot on it as well.
Here she is:
