Halloween

I’ve been thinking about Everly’s halloween costume since…oh… about mid August. (kind of sad, I know) I’ve always loved dressing up for halloween but now that she’s here, I’ve turned all of my excitement into planning what she should be.

I wanted her to be something unexpected and I knew I was going to make it myself. I barely, barely sew - so taking on the challenge of making a halloween costume is a bit laughable. But my mother made my halloween costumes for years and I wanted to pass on the tradition. She wasn’t much of a sewer either and my costumes growing up were always fantastic. Fortunately, I’ve acquired her knack for clever reinterpretation and a few of her crafting skills! (I once made four British Royal Guard costumes for my girlfriends and I with nothing but felt, gold buttons, and a glue gun!)

I’m in the middle of creation mode right now as October is so busy and my time to focus on costume making is limited… but all I can say is that it’s going to be AWESOME. Spectacularly adorable.

Since we’re spending Halloween up in Asheville, NC with the Gainers, Natasha and I decided we’d make the girls a pair.

Here are a few clues:

Can you guess ?!?!?

Love,

Hello. I'm Melissa.

Wife to a rock n roll, super dad named Brent.

We're the adventuring type. Go. do. See.
We hit the jackpot when we had our daughter, Everly Veda in January 2010.
She has my eyes, his lips and a San Francisco heart.

In May 2011, we welcomed Arlo Redding, the most magical little dude ever into our family. His presence has made our good thing, even better.

We like old stuff and keeping it simple.
We believe in love, family and a good pair of cowboy boots.

Brent sings songs.
I write words.
And these sweet babies make our world go round.

Welcome.
