Happy Halloween! This year Boyd wanted to be Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head. It was a long 4 days of working in my little Chinese sweat shop, aka our family room. Boyd came up with the idea and design and I turned it into costumes. Boyd's dad drew the scaled pattern for the face pieces and from there I took over. Boyd wanted it to be realistic, so I made pillow like pieces for the face parts and put cardboard behind it so the puff would go the correct direction. Then I quilted right through the cardboard. The face parts had Velcro behind them so we can mix n' match pieces. My favorite part was the bum pocket in the back. Just like the real potato head we had the bum pocket to put our parts into. We sure do love Halloween!
I love this picture so much! You guys are hilarious.
