my lola *decided* to be max for halloween this year. last year was technically her first halloween, but she was a bit too young and too sleepy to get in on the festivities. not to mention that daddy and i weren’t really able to get into the spirit (it’s not our favorite holiday).

this year is quite different! i’m so excited to take her around town – or at least to the in-laws – all decked out in her handmade halloween finery.

now onto who created this outrageously fabulous – if i do say so myself – rendition of max’s wolf suit a la where the wild things are. my mother is a professional seamstress, designer, and all around magician with a sewing machine! she created this costume by tweaking an infant lion costume. she crafted ears, a furry tail, claws, and buttons. currently, she is creating at l. blanche designs and blogging at the fabric shopper. my brother and i always had fantastic, elaborate, and impeccably engineered costumes when we were young.

speaking of my brother, marty seefeldt, he was today’s photographer. he also happens to be a digital artist & video game designer. you can view some of his work at deviantart.

please share you own halloween goodies (pics, posts, & links!) in the comments below. can’t wait to see!

thank you very much, robots are awesome. they certainly are! one of these little robot figures would be a great gift for a dude who needs a little friend at his desk.

check out these little felt hugs by 3fun.

felt sculptures amaze me because – unlike wood/metal/clay – you’re not taking away material to reveal a shape within, you take a cloud of wool and beat it into felty submission – forming it from fuzzy softness into a recognizable shape.

dmdmetal will customize the graffiti on the subway car to anything you’d like: names, dates, you name it!

so it’s not one word. i couldn’t help myself! forgive me?

delica creates felted wool pebbles for your coffee table (coasters), your hair (bobby pins), and your random nooks & crannies (really, their wool rocks!).

never trust a squirrel in a mask. that’s what i always say!

girlsavage stitches each little feltidermy by hand, with love. these are grown-up toys sure to break the ice wherever you place them.

the necklaces at pamelamichelle really “speak” to me.

pamela describes her distinct style has influenced by scandinavian design but it reminds me of the german folk art painting that is popular in my neck of the woods here pennsylvania. flowers, birds, leaves… simply fabulous.
