Pumpkin puree & a dog Halloween costume

After a few hours measuring, stitching & sewing, I came up with this Peter Pan costume for Toby's first Halloween party.

I'm actually quite proud of it. I even hemmed all of it, used velcro closures and hand stitched the felt hat. It was a bit disappointing that most everyone thought he was Robin Hood, but whatevs. If I would've had time to get together a Tink & Hook costume for us, it would've been unmistakeable.

So today would normally be What We're Eating Wednesday, but to be honest, I have no clue what we're eating! I'm trying to get back to a normal routine after a deadline and a 14 hour work day on Monday. Instead, I'm going to leave you with a tutorial on how to make your own pumpkin puree that I posted on here some time ago. I make several freezer bags full every year and use for easy dinners and desserts later on. The color of a pumpkin pie made with homemade pumpkin puree is really magnificent. I hope you can try it this fall!

Moving on, I have a prize pack for two jars of American Crafts Zing for this lucky lady

CUTE! Sadly, I thought Robin Hood also...I love doing pumpkin puree...but I scoop seeds and stringy things out before roasting...for me that is just easier...I don't think people realize how easy it is.

I thought robin hood too! I think it's win/win either way. But I must know, how did you get the hat to stay on???

Ha ha, very cute costume. I can see how people would be confused between peter pan / robin hood, I was describing how their costumes were similar to someone a few months ago! He looks adorable and that's the important thing! x
