Costumes! Must be Halloween…

So of course it’s Halloween, and I like Halloween, and I’m going to wander about a bit tonight and see at what everyone else came up with.

Meanwhile, I came up with a couple of things for us here at my house. First me - I’m not going to bother saying what I am, because if it’s not obvious I really, really failed. Actually, I take that back. I’m specifically a North American seven-spot ladybug. See? I totally lucked out on finding a sparkly red felt remnant for the wings. I like the twisty antennae and stuff too. And I have a veil. ‘Cause ladybugs are ladies :)

Also, I have pets. 2 cats and a dog. Pets need costumes too, right? At least I was thinking that they did, but I had nothing. No ideas, and really, no time either, but I still felt like something was missing from Halloween if at least one of my babies didn’t have something to wear.

So when I found this costume at Curbly I thought it was awesome and decided to crochet very, very quickly. That was two days ago. Only one cat and the dog have costumes, because neither of them are possessed of much dignity. The older cat has excessive amounts of dignity and Very Large Claws, and I don’t think he’d like having a costume.

So, I present Audrey Corn (poor little thing just had teeth extracted today - hence the bleary eyes - but she’s still game) and Callie Corn! They managed to keep the costumes on for at least 2 minutes.

Oh my gosh, the candy-corn costumes just kill me! They’re so cute I could die. And that answers my question about what your costume was. It’s adorable! I love ladybugs. The costume is definitely a success. Have fun tonight!!
