This year my son wanted to be a Tusken Raider. So we went all out. Everythign but my bandoliers was homemade. I think we did all right. The girls were a butterfly and tinker bell. They turned out well too. In fact, maybe the misses will wear her hooker boots one night. HA!
At the Ky Horse park Campout, I placed 2nd (was beat by a store bought hulk hogan costume.), Xander was second as well (beat by an astronaut.) Unfortunatly the girls did not win at all. MeeMaw won third for her "Frankie's Girl" costume.
Here they are:

Greeting! Well in fear of people not quite knowing what we are this year I created these neat little cards to give out to help people understand. What can I say late night on the laptops will get you these kinds of things.
Added a new tutorial of something very easy to make. A pipe insulation chain. Pretty cool, cheap and lightweight.
Here is a little prop update for this year. This is a casket Pap built for this year. Looking good! It is made with various wood and plywood for the base. The inside is painted white and pvc was used for the palbearers handle. X-mase ligfhts were used to light the inside of the casket. The casket user is a costume stuffed to fill it out. Shouldn't be any quesiton on who is going to win the contest this year. (Click on Images to make them large.)

After a LOT of sewing, seam ripping and sewing some more, I have all but one costume done for this year. Unfortunately, the costume for Kristi did not work out as well as i had hoped. I do not know where the meltdown was but it did not turn out correctly. I am 0 for 2 when it comes to making her costumes. I think that the problem is that I need to not go by patterns and their measurements and start making my own by sloping and such. All the other costumes look good, though it will be interesting to see how the "judging" happens at the Horse Park this year. I wonder how many people will know what we are. Pics and updates on the costumes to come real soon.
