A mamarazzi’s gotta do what a mamarazzi’s gotta do. And when you know Halloween is going to be cold and miserable and busy, an impromptu pre-Halloween photo shoot is fully in order. A must. I brought my duo of sleuths and their sassy sidekick to a hot case and had them investigate while I snapped away.
I’m pleased. Prepare yourself for a photo overload…

Costume details:
Sherlock-I sewed his cape from a tutorial I found HERE. (Martha has the best ideas.) It was so easy!!His pipe is from Amazon.
Dr. Watson-Blazer courtesy of Goodwill. Derby hat is from Amazon.
Victorian dame- I sewed her costume using THIS pattern. A non-satin fabric would have been much easier, but wouldn’t have had the right effect.
My sweet little subjects appease their mother so. They pose, they don’t look when they’re not supposed to, look when they are…all in front of an array of tourists at the Biltmore.
I love them.
With all the turmoil this week, I’m sure there will be a lot of unhappy kids tonight. Thankfully Asheville is getting nothing more but wind and a cold front. Hurricane aside…Happy Halloween, all!

I'm VERY impressed that you put together your kids costumes.
somewhere along the way, I caved and stopped doing handmade….my boys are OVER dressing up, which makes me sad, sad, sad…..
you'd think with just one sweet girl interested in dress up, I could manage some cool, outrageous outfit like you've done here for your kids.
I wanna be like you when i grow up. 🙂
the kids are adorable.
How fun love the costumes!!
Oh my goodness. The cutest things I ever did see. Great job Mama!
