The Long Awaited Tree Frog

Well, I was finally able to get the pics of the tree frog costume.
This costume took about 18 hours to finish.  The frog head was the worst.  I had the most trouble getting a good fit, and having it look like a frog.  Still one of my favorites though.  I hope you enjoy.

It was a great couple of days and weekend.  There were just a couple of changes from the first appearance at boo at the zoo and Halloween night.  At Boo at the Zoo the costume had separate gloves that slipped over her hands.  That did not work very well and she would not keep them on.  For Halloween I attached them to the sleeves of the costume, and added a slit for her hands to come out, and an elastic strap to hold onto, much better.  I also added some Velcro to the back of the hood and the back of the costume.  That way her neck didn't show, and if she wanted to slip the hood off she could. 

She stayed plenty warm all evening, and never complained about being cold.  For next year Halloween she said that she wants to be Rapunzel.  That will be a fun one to create ,but I already told her that she will have two costumes.  We go to the zoo every year for Halloween, and I like to make the animal costumes for that.  she said that is fine,. and she is considering three costumes for next year.

Monkey

Penguin

Pink Flamingo

I have no preference, and it will be fun creating any one of those.

We did meet a few people who have remembered us from years past.  One lady said that, I have a picture of you as my screen saver from last year.  I was hoping to see you again this year.  We all got a kick out of that.  I need to remember to make some business cards to take with me next year.  I can't believe how many people asked me if I sew for others.
