The party yesterday afternoon was a blast! As you can see, HMB was a ladybug– I made her whole costume from scratch (it is hard to find black pants for a baby!). I got the basic idea over on the CRAFT blog but I decided not to do the whole velcro thing and just make the ladybug part have little black sleeves to keep it on, and added a pair of stuffed legs so HMB would have the requisite 6 (when you count her actual legs). And there’s no way this kid would keep on a headband, so a cotton jersey hat with antennae did the trick. It is hard to get a still picture of a baby in costume! They’re always on the move. But here it is from another angle so you can see a bit better
Miss S had a great time at the party (babies everywhere! chaos!) and made a new friend
Hope you have more treats than tricks today!
