 piper was a "birdie".

(I said owl...she said "birdie")

Birdie it is.

I made her costume out of

upholstery fabric swatches cut into feather shapes
hot glued to an old one piece black velour onesie
with legs cut off.

I also added feathers to old black leggings.

I glued random colored real feathers here and there.

 we went to a little halloween party in our hood

(katherine the gypsy painting faces)

we get to wear it all again on Saturday

since our town

postponed Halloween!
