New crowns at Humbleluna

Hello Friends,

Just wanted to let you know there are a few new crowns in my Etsy shop just in time for Valentine's Day.....or maybe I just needed an excuse to show of my sweet little model ;)

I also have a love dragon costume available that would be super fun for your little one to wear to the park or for a walk around the neighborhood, they always get lots of smiles!

 

Cheech and Chong, an evil wind up doll,spiderman, and an Octopus.

***Halloween 2013***

We had a great Halloween! Papa was in town and the kids got to go out trick or treating with their friends. Ben and I did our first couples costume after 14 years as a couple. I couldn't stop laughing at him, good thing I couldn't see myself, he he.

I found all the stuff for the Cheech and Chong and Spiderman costumes at the thrift store. I made Nalah's octopus skirt and hat, Sophie's skirt and her wind up crank(cardboard and metallic paint) and a heart eye patch that she forgot to wear. It wasn't too hard to get it all done, but after sewing several costume order for my Etsy shop, Nalah and Sophie's costumes were put off until the very last minutes.

Nalah had her first experience trick or treating this year. All the houses we went to required climbing at least one flight of stairs, but she never got tired or cranky. It was so stinking adorable to watch her walk up with her little bag, I just wonder what she was thinking.

The next morning after we dropped brother off at school she wanted to walk up to all the houses to get more candy, she was pretty upset when she found out the party was over. Poor buddy. She has already forgotten about the candy. The older kids, not so much.

You just have to see my little octopus in motion....

I hope you all had a fun time this year! I am already planning costumes to make for next year :)

Gnomes!!!!

I have a few fun new costumes to share that are brand new this year to my Etsy shop, HumbleLuna.

Introducing the Gnomes!

 

The Gnome boy has a fun swirly beard.....

And the girl has long braids and a flower in her cap...

The gnome costumes are inspired by a Halloween costume I made for Solomon four years ago when he was Nalah's age...you can see it here.

These new costumes were also inspired by an awesome thrift store find from several months back. I found this beautiful Gnome pop up book that is over 30 years old in mint condition. All of the pop up elements still work!! There are gears to turn and gnomes to slide and tabs to pull and the best part is the last page where the gnome is playing on a tiny swing that really swings. I was so thrilled to find this treasure I almost couldn't believe it. I have a weak spot for beautiful Children's books. Since Nalah is still very wee and likes to rip things and color in every book she finds I have it stashed away in a safe place. We take it out and look at it often, But I can seem to leave this wonderful book out where it could be damaged.

The Gnome hats are currently made to order. In the very near future I am planning to make different colors options available for the hats and the beard/braid colors. I may even sell them pre-made in different sizes. At the moment I feel more comfortable making custom hats to insure it is a good fit, I think once I make a zillion of these I will have the sizing down. I am also planning to make some Christmas Gnomes since the white bearded gnome could easily also be a Santa costume!

If you are interested in my Gnome hats please visit my Etsy shop Here.

Thank you so much, your support of my handmade costumes helps my family a great deal and we are very grateful for each and every sale.
