  1. I think that if we lived near each other our kids could be friends. Besides that we both did C.G. and the man with the yellow hat in 2011, we also watch lots of wild kratts. Micah’s latest plan for halloween is to be a woodpecker….where did you get Burke’s mask?

    1. Deb, I love it so much that Micah wants to be a woodpecker! The eagle mask was $5 on Amazon. Definitely worth it. ๐Ÿ™‚
      You are right, they would totally be friends. ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. Oh my goodness, mom of the year for these! How fun, and those kids look happy as clams in them. I cannot even imagine how many hours went into putting together the feathers? All worth it though I’m sure. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Ha- you’re funny. ๐Ÿ™‚ And the wings only took a nap time (I even sewed along the unfinished edges of the non-felt ones)- not that bad! ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Awe how adorable! I love that they let you dress them in coordinating outfits! My daughter is princess everything all the time, so I doubt I’ll be able to get her to wear anything else for Halloween for a very long time. Doesn’t leave too many options for my son, but then again I’m sure he’d be happy being a dragon every year too lol

  4. Kirstin, I happened on your site by chance as I am searching for a costume design for my daughters play coming up soon… Wow!! This bird costume truly is lovely. Is there any way you would share some of the design with me? It “looks” simple, yet elegant in both design and structure. But I have a feeling that I may not exactly understand how you cut out the “feathers”. Are they in a row or in pieces sewn together to make a row? Or is it some other beautifully creative design?

    However it is done, it is eyecatching… Well done.

    Lorraine
