A Happy All Saints Day to everyone! We started the day with mass and then came home to a Momma made breakfast of oatmeal waffles with bananas foster sauce. The kids spent a good part of the late morning designing their pumpins and then pulling pumpkin guts and carving them out on the front porch.
We got first place this year at the Saints Day picnic at church. I have to admit that I probably did not deserve it since I totally procratinated and waited until the day before the picnic to start making my costumes then ended up working until 2 AM to finish all 7 saints costumes. (Never again…even though that is the exact thing I said last year).

For anyone who does not know what Hallowmas is all about you can read more about it here.
in case you are wondering, he is dressed as Saint Dennis of Paris who was beheaded
This is my favorite costume of course. Santa Lucia day is one of my favorite winter holidays. The Feast of Saint Lucia is coming up on December 13th so I will post a tutorial next week on how to make the crocheted wreath and candles. The dress was made from a thrifted womans shirt which happened to have the sweet smocking around the collar. All I had to do was detach the sleeves, cut the chest down to size and reattach the shortened sleeves then add some elastic through a casing around the wrists.

I love the costumes! Nice work.
I would like the tutorial on the St. Denis costume and how to make a nun costume! Loved both of those!
Just lovley Trica! I like the Santa Lucia as well 🙂 I'll look forward to your tutorial on the dress and crown as we will be needing one just that size this year! God bless!
