Thank you so much for all the get well wishes! I'm still coughing, but definitely feeling ten times better than I did over the weekend. That said, sitting on the couch did have its benefits. On Saturday I spent seven hours watching a Harry Potter marathon and stitching up a wolf mask.
It's for the Mister to wear to a wedding we're going to. That's right, we're going to a Halloween-themed costumes required wedding. Having not done Halloween in a long long long time, I had to put on my thinking cap.
I bought a Little Red Riding Hood costume for myself from SpeedyCostumes on etsy.
FYI: If you order from her shop and mention that you were referred by Balzer Designs, you'll get a 10% discount.
Once I knew that I was going as Little Red Riding Hood it was time to conquer the Mister's costume. I knew he would absolutely refuse to wear anything cutesy or cumbersome. So, I decided to stitch up a super simple wolf mask. I bought the pattern from the oxeyedaisy etsy shop. Luckily, I had everything I needed on hand (hooray for the stash!) and so I simply sat down to stitch and stitch and stitch.
Yesterday, as he was headed off to work, I forced him to put on the mask so that I could take some photos for this blog. (We're going to have to talk about why he's wearing it so low, but I think it still looks great!)
I'm pretty sure a mask turns everybody into a goofball — no matter how old we may be!
Thanks for stopping by!

The mask is fabulous! Totally looks like a wolf. Works with the suit, too. (Guess it’s one of those accessories that goes from day to evening!) Glad you’re feeling better.

I love both of your costumes! We have a wedding this weekend also and costumes are encouraged at the reception. I’m going as our local La Crosse newscaster who made a huge splash lately with her comment to a bully that she “is much more than a number on a scale” and my husband will be her cameraman. It’s been fun coming up with the accessories!

You have to make the hair stand up kind of “shocky” like a “bad” wolf’s mane–I think it might go real well with the FABULOUS mask! Also, the hands have to be sort of hairy, too! AWESOME!
