Witches Retreat

I had a girlie Halloween party - The 2nd annual Witches Retreat - and witch attire is required. I had planned on just putting a dinky little hat on but when Christopher saw all the ladies at the ward Halloween party wearing sweet witch hats, he wanted knew it was project time!

He took a day off of work (I know, huh, he's awesome) and spent all day with me (the kids spent 7 hours playing video games, I know, huh, I'm an awesome mom like that). We went to Hobby Lobby and the Fabric Center and got to work making a hat from scratch AND a witches cloak!



Christopher doesn't know how to take pictures, so I don't have one with me in my cloak.






I LOVE MY HAT! I've since decided that every year I will make a new hat with Christopher (b.c we had a lot of fun together) and I'm gonna take this tradition (and party) to Texas with me when we move back.
