Happy Halloween!

Halloween arrived here in Holland but.....only in a small way.  The Americans and Brits in the Moms & Tots group we go to had a Halloween party for the little ones.  

I had this great plan to make Archie and Sylvie little sheep, or lambs.  I would get black tights, black long sleeved shirts, and a onsie covered in cotton batting.  Well, that would have worked back in Seattle with access to many craft stores and fabric stores.  Not so much here.  I couldn't find black tights (odd right?).  I couldn't find black t-shirts (more odd).  And I have NO idea where a fabric store would exist here.  

So I improvised: Gray tights, grey shirts, and the inside "cotton" of an Ikea pillow sewn to a onsie.  Oh, and don't even ask about the cute hats with ears I would have made.  

Below is the photo that they were supposed to look like:

Here is what Archie actually looked like (note: Sylvie didn't even make it into her costume!)
