Sometimes inspiration and expertise would combine in a sweet spot -- even I managed to come up with a good Halloween costume for my kids every year or so. And the elves didn't come through. Elves these days, I tell you. But I think I can still make it work. When I do, I will post the results on the blog. Ah yes, Halloween costumes.

Of course, after three nights working with felt, foam-core board scissors, needle, thread and waaaaaaay too much craft glue, you come to the realization that paying double would actually have cost less than making it yourself. (Guess what I've been doing with my evenings this week.)
