Meet Madeline the Garden Gnome! (or "mome" as Madeline says)
Didn't I tell you it was totally ridiculously adorable?Look at those eyes, and that smile and what an amazing feat of craftsmanship that felt coat is!
That's right people, I made everything but the pants and shoes. I wish I could explain how proud I am of myself. I have been telling everyone who will listen, (and even some who won't) that I made this costume from scratch. No pattern, just me and my brain and my hands!As for how Kevin helped make this... think about what is IN that costume. Yep, we made that too and I couldn't have done it without him!
These photos were taken at Madeline's day care by one of the moms (and my friend) Jodie Allen. She has started her own photography company, J. Allen Photography and I love her work. Some day, when I have disposable income again, we'll hire her to shoot the family! Check her out!
I hope everyone has a wonderful Halloween! Enjoy the fun and stay safe!

Mo, it turned out so well! Yay! That costume goes into family legend with such greats as Pee Wee Herman, the Crayola and the Lego.
SO CUTE!!!
It's wonderful and so very unique!
Lookin' good Madeline...Scott said she'd be a gnome and I didn't think he was right...but he was. It looks great!
i was right...on day 4 i guessed a garden gnome. what i didn't guess is that the gnome would be madeline! very cute, maureen.
i still can't get over the fact that you made it yourself! so adorable!!!
Wait... you're gonna hire someone to shoot the family?
I think Kevin's part could have been left unsaid personally... TMI, but the costume and the kid are adorable :)

And I sort of want the satchel (sorry child in lap)
