- Beauty and the Beast -

Is anyone else as shocked as I am that this trick-or-treating extravaganza went off without a hitch?!? I mean, we'd been plotting and sewing and practicing trying on the yellow dress [which was NOT a hit at first...] for months ...and holy schmolyyyy, I'm just so happy it all fell into place like it did! 

I went out on a very [emphasis on very] thin limb in creating this Beast cape "from scratch" [my sewing capabilities mainly equal fleece burp cloths and ...more burp cloths]; so good thing this project was 1) just for a dog with low-to-no expectations and 2) entertaining for my assistant! 

[Yes, I realize that sequin border should've been hand sewn, buuuuut ain't nobody got time for 'dat.]

Finally Halloween-time came, and it turns out this Beauty is pretty dang fond of her [uncle's] Beast!

There wasn't much time [or energy or daylight] to snap any photos of the duo on the arrival night since Blake and Sarge rolled into town after 11pm, so we recreated the scene and re-donned the costumes a few days later. :) 

Harper, a golf ball for you. Sarge, some bacon for you. Now both of you behave, face the front, and smile for the camera! 

Happy Halloween from Beauty and the Beast!
