Scavenger Hunt Sunday - 3/16/2014

I had taken a hiatus from Scavenger Hunt Sunday, and from blogging in general, but I am back now (I think). Here are my interpretations of this week's prompts.

1. Doorway

I feel like this is my #fail picture for this week. I had some neat ideas, but they never came to fruition, so here it is. The doorway to the bathroom. (Edit: changed my picture to sepia tone and I like it much better now).

2. Candid

Daddy put these glasses on me and now Mommy is blinding me with the flash from her camera.

2. Candid (again)

Mama, I play a mean air-guitar.

3. Open

I opened this candy bar...

 4. Look Up

 I love the way trees look in the winter. There is something awesome about looking at the 

bones of the tree. The intricate patterns of branches against the sky just don't exist when the trees are full of leaves.

 5. Stuffed

Mama, I'm stuffed!

I hope you enjoyed my interpretations this week. Join me again next week as I search for photographic interpretations for these prompts:

1. Leading Lines

2. Relationship

3. Good Morning 

4. Together

5. Project

#ScavengerHuntSunday

Scavenger Hunt Sunday November 3, 2013

Here are my interpretations for this week. Enjoy!

1. Dress Up

Munchkin dressed up as a Pop Star for Halloween. She especially loved that I let her wear make-up.

2. Candy

Candy Corn Closeup.

3. Pumpkin

I decided to take a less traditional view of the pumpkin. You wouldn't even know it was a pumpkin I think, except that I left part of it in view.

4. Spooky

I edited this picture with a red filter, and I think it turned out really cool. See the original in this post.

 5. Orange

 Little Man and Grandma were both wearing orange for Halloween.

DIY: Star Wars Baby Wicket Ewok Costume

Buying a costume for a baby can be very frustrating...you have to consider many things:

1. Will they keep it on?
2. Will it irritate their skin?
3. Will it fit in their carseat safely?
4. Will it be warm enough or cool enough for the weather?
5. Does it look adorable?
6. Can I afford to spend $$$?

Making this one myself, from things we already owned and he had already worn answered most of the above questions for me. Scroll down for the "tutorial."

I hesitate to call this a tutorial because, well, there isn't much to it, and I didn't take step-by-step pictures, but here it is anyway! First, I found brown pants and long-sleeved onesie...I had to turn the pants inside out because the feet had monkeys on them (hubby complained you could see the pants tag, but I was carrying him anyway, so it wouldn't show...otherwise it could be cut out). The onesie actually had a picture on it also, but it was (mostly) covered by the hood (you can see just a smidge of it in the pic above--again, if I had been worried about this, I could have used a safety pin or double-sided tape to keep the hood taped down). Then I found another onesie in red that would fit comfortably as a hood and turned it inside out so the picture on it wouldn't show and put it over his head, making sure the sleeves were tucked in. The tag is printed on that onesie, so it does show, but didn't bother me...I later realized that if I had put the tag under his chin, it probably wouldn't have shown at all. I also originally had planned to sew (or pin) on some fuzzy ears, but that didn't happen either. After all, he is 2 months old...he was clean, dry, warm enough, not too warm, and completely adorable...what more can you ask...?
