Let the Wild Rumpus Start!

5:15 PM
I'LL EAT YOU UP! For Halloween this year, I made my 18 month old son a costume from the book: Where The Wild Things Are. He's Max in the wolf costume.

I also really needed pockets to hold my scissors, pen, cell phone, etc. Pretty trashy apron. I just serged the edges, but I did throw a baby quail applique on for fun. It is...
