Thanks for recognizing our family Halloween themes that we have been doing for years. The Ancient Wonders was a fun theme and it takes effort to come up with new themes each year... But Felicia is sewing away on this year's theme.

I would love to use your family's photo dressed as the wonders of the ancient world. Would that be ok? I'd be happy to credit you in whatever way you'd like, and link back to this blog.

From feedback from family and friends the harder ones seem to be F, G, K and Q.

I have been coming to your blog once a year since 2005 when I did a google search for "Bill & Ted home made costumes" and your family showed up. I loved every theme and watching the kids grow up & the family expand. I was hoping 2011 would be another great year. Please don't disappoint!

She based the shirt pattern on a basic button down men's shirt, but made with a thicker mustard-colored material. She also added details like the buttoned pockets, embroidered name tag, epaulets, buttons, etc. The pants were also a custom design with shorter legs and elastic gathering. I found the knee-high socks, the shoes, the pith helmet and the beard to add to the ensemble. Also, the monocle was originally a pair of gold spectacles, cut in half and then with an added gold chain.Blainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379274325110866036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19824914.post-79670889997525204932010-01-31T20:31:50.834-08:002010-01-31T20:31:50.834-08:00Hey!
