A friend recently told me that my costumes and photos tell a story. Being a huge book nerd, this thrilled me, as I love stories and love telling them. So here is our Halloween Costumes for 2018... Lord of the Rings style.
The Council of Elrond. Logan was a human, and Luke a hobbit. They enjoyed playing the part so much that they were in their costumes for days, and we watched all three LOTR movies while we had a bit of time off from school for the celebration of the Halloween holiday.
I made their cloaks out of beautiful anti-pill fleece and Luke's shirt and vest were completely out of linen. Notice the stitching on the cloaks... that took me hours to do! It was a preset on my machine and it was perfect touch for the elven cloaks from Lorien.
Logan's outfit was created from a thrifted leather vest for a grown man for my incredibly skinny kiddo. His fur collar was from the costume section at JoAnn's clearance. The Leaves of Lorien broaches and ring necklace, I bought from Amazon and they were the perfect touch to the outfits!
My favorite filter for this photo:
When Logan was tiny, maybe 2 months old, he started scowling at us. And he hasn't really stopped since. lol! We started calling him "Little Man" and that stuck until even now. I call him that daily. So this picture, as I was editing it, kinda blew my mind. My sweet boy, looking so grown up! Very bittersweet!
