I’ll be doing a bit of crafting and sewing today, putting Eleanor’s Halloween costume together. I’m making it a little easier on myself this year compared to last — just pig ears and a sailor collar. I may be running out of time, but at least our front porch has been decorated (which you can vote for daily until Sunday). Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some fabric to buy.

Aaaahhh! I cannot wait to see the costume. My daughter is Olivia this year and I made her ears, as well.

So cute!
O how cute! I love Olivia books! You always pick the cutest ideas for her!
What a great idea! I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
I find it really cute that you are always doing porch competitions when you are expecting :)
I know, isn’t it funny?
Loving the pumpkins!
Gotta love Olivia. Next up – Eloise!
I love the bucket with the cat face! Where did you get it?
I picked up two on clearance at Pottery Barn last year after Halloween. I’ve been waiting to use them!
I, too, am still sewing away finishing a toddler costume! My son is going to be a skeleton, so I am also taking a relatively low-effort project – just cutting out the bones from white fleece and sewing them onto black sweats. It’s coming out great! I’m envious of your decor, though!
DUDE! Beatrix is going as Olivia too. My mother slaved away knitting her dress and making her Olivia “hat”- can’t wait to compare pics Nicole! Great minds. :-)
Yay! I can’t wait to see your Olivia too. :)
ooooh! the olivia books are my favorite!! i owned them well before i had a baby
You’ve got our vote. Seriously your Halloween decor is awesome!
Your porch looks really really creepy :-) Love it! Those black birds! Such a pity Haloween isn’t very much celebrated here in Belgium…
Just voted for your front porch! I just have to say that of all the 4 projects yours have always been the coolest/nicests :)
Hey Nicole — included you in my Halloween Decorating round up post today!!! Love all that you’ve done!!
I LOOOOOOVE Olivia! Awesome costume idea for a little one. I may have to force my niece to be that next year (she’s a duck this year).
Those pumpkins look great!
…and I always love your porches! You definitely have my vote!
oh wow, those pumpkins are incredible!
Oh. My. Stars. Kristin, that costume is SO money! Fabulous job. Can’t wait to see Miss Eleanor’s. I collect childrens’ books, and adore this series, so when my wife and I got a 7-week-old Pug dog last month, we couldn’t reisit naming her Olivia… it was just too perfect. We’re trying to conceive (both females, takes a bit longer haha) right now, so maybe this time next year I’ll be making a kiddie-costume instead of a canine one… *giggling*
