Pixie costume

Since I was not going out for Halloween this year, I helped a friend make an awesome Pixie costume, The skirt and arm warmers she made with recycled sweaters. The ears are I crocheted onto a crocheted headband. The ears have a light weight wire in them, so she can adjust around her pigtails, once she has them in :-) I made the wings with 2 wire hangers, I love them for projects, and crocheted the center sections. We completely winged this project and it worked AMAZINGLY well.

Phantasm tall man and Reggie in crochet

My husband found a pic of someone who kitted the Tall man from the movie Phantasm. Of course I LOVE a challenge so I grabbed some left over yarn scraps and away I went. The main body is made with scrap different type of yarn, the eyes are pieces are pieces of suede. I realized after seeing pictures that the tall man had a tie tack of the "ball", so I grabbed a bead and gave him a tie tack. The ball in his hand is a large metal bead that I glued foil all over it to make it nice and shiny. He is stuffed with left over stuffing we had left over from another project, of course :-) I am quite pleased with the turn out, what do you think?
After I made the tall man my husband asked if I could do Reggie, the ice cream man that is trying to destroy the tall man. So here is Reggie bow tie and all :-)

Sweater skirt - katwise inspired

My friend, Amanda and I came across katwise on Etsy and  had to buy the pattern. I have a sweater coat in the process but we both really liked the look of the skirts. My first one was to short, and my second one was to big, that is the bottom blue one. Amandas first one came out PERFECT!!!!!!!! They are both made with 100% recycled sweaters and are perfect with those winter tights and boots.

Genie pants

Meet our friend Travis, who was visiting us and was told from our friend in Ecuador, Keisha, that I could make genie pants. Yes I can, I come to find out. They fit perfectly and look SOOOOOOOOOO cool. I did a little internet research and figured out which ones would work best then cam up with my own. The second picture I made him lift his shirt so I could get a good picture of the top band, which was shirred. I also shirred the ankles so he can adjust them up or down as needed or desired. The pocket is sewn on so it wont flop around on him. I think they are awesome, please let me know if you do too :-)
