Fancy Dress Costumes

Another quick post tonight, to share the final costumes with you all before I fall into bed.

What did I say in my last post that I really didn't want to happen this week?

Yup, viewers.

After a month with none, I got a text message from my hubby this morning saying, 'Viewers tomorrow 10.30'

Groan.

I'm sure you can imagine the state of the house. Paper-mache heads in the dining room. Costumes in the living room. Half made cards all over the table , piano and any other surface Alasdair can't reach.

Double groan!

Still, somehow, the costumes were finished, the cards are almost finished, three batches of cupcakes were made and the house is almost tidy. The floors need hoovered and washed, but that can wait till morning.

Even better, David won first prize at the fancy dress party and James won second. Calum won first last year so wasn't too bothered about not getting anything this year.





Here is my cute little Yoda. His cloak is made from an old sheet.








A slightly less cute General Grievous. His spare arms are stuffed with socks from the odd-sock drawer!







And C3PO. Notice how he has the authentic C3PO stand?















To finish with, these are my cupcakes for tomorrow's Coffee Morning.

Costume Making

We have been busy today with costume making for the Boy's Brigade Fancy Dress party on Friday night. The boys are wanting to stick with the Star Wars theme but have much grander plans than those costumes from Calum's birthday tea!

As a result tonight's post is short and sweet, but here is a peek at the boys working on their costumes.



Why, oh why, oh why did I put my sewing machine into storage??


I'm also busy making cards for a stall at a coffee morning at church this Saturday. I haven't made any cards since the summer so I need to build my stock up again.


 Plus, I've been roped into making cupcakes for the same coffee morning.
(The proceeds of the morning are going to the charity my husband works for so I couldn't say no!)


Now I'm really hoping nobody phones up tomorrow and asks to look round the house any time this week!!!!
