Me and my BIG ideas

This  year I decided to make Halloween costumes for me, my husband, my daughter, my sister, her husband and her son.  What was I thinking?  I'm almost finished, but WOWZA!  My family is going as the Flintstones and my sister's family will be going as the Rubbles.  It sounds great, right?  Well, I'm Wilma...who dresses in ALL WHITE!  Again, what was I thinking?  The good news is that I cut the pattern a few inches larges to accommodate for my extra "fluff" and ended up making it waaay to big-talk about a confidence booster!  The bad news is that I had to fix it.  But it's been keeping me busy and away from the refrigerator.  I find that by keeping myself occupied during the day with an activity that I can't have food around, I do better while dieting.  I'm so glad I'm going to have Christmas presents to make to keep me away from Halloween candy, pumpkin rolls and Christmas cookies. here's a picture of my husband's and daughter's costumes.  I'll throw in my nephew's too for good measure!
