Bella started out wanting to be the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.  We went to see an Alice in Wonderland play this summer and the cat was blue.  She refused to wear any face paint so really she’s not the Cheshire Cat but just a pretty blue cat, with bright blue eyeshadow! LOL  So I spent a couple of days making this costume for her. I had a hard time with the hood and getting the ears straight and I wished it was longer but oh well, It turned out cute and she was happy with it.  I tied the tail to her arm with fishing line so when she moved her arm her tail would move…that lasted all of about 30 minutes until she broke the fishing line and we had to repair it! We had a great time trick-or-treating in Jacki’s neighborhood (ours doesn’t get TOTer’s).  Bella was literally running from house to house, which she has never done in years past.
