I love Halloween!

How cute is this? I'm not sure how exactly we came up with the idea but we always get a good one in mid-summer. So, how come if we get the idea in the summer, I am sewing the darn thing as we are walking out the door to a party?? I didn't actually sew much; a simple skirt, half apron, rickrack on a t-shirt and lace on socks. The bonnet was a purchase from a wonderful seamstress at GrandmasGirl on Etsy. I could have never made it even half as nice as Julianne did...this woman can sew!
I tied some fake grapes in a basket and we threw in some raisins just in case no one could figure out who she was supposed to be. As if!

We already have next year's costume planned but it's a secret.

This is so very clever.

I completely get the, "Why am I still sewing this". My children have known what they wanted to be - for months. I thought I would wait until it got a little closer in case they changed their minds, but I just realized that Halloween is only 10 days away. I should probably get started.

Oh my CUTE!!! My four year old went gaga for this when I showed her. Your daughter is such a sweetie, love those poses and that million dollar smile.

Your daughter is totally full of awesomeness for thinking of this incredible costume! Fantastic!

I so don't miss those last minute costumes. Remember Rob's potatoe chip costume? Why can't our kids just be the current action figure hero that you buy at Walmart on the 4th of July like everyone else? Because we just can't do that, something is wrong with us!!!

Great sunmaid raisin girlcostume! And FYI, I can understand why you do not want to send your kids to the public school where you are at, how about the voucher system needed now? I am pretty lucky with my area.

You are a genius, Carol! I love, love, love this. Can't wait to see next year's costume... and making us wait an entire year, too!

This is sooooo sweet. Love your idea. Now you should paint a photograph from her picture. Clever idea you had there.
