Today's list was long ... actually it's still long. I have lots of shop samples to make and tops to quilt and errands to run.
But ...
I also have a daughter who REALLY wants to be Raggedy Ann for Halloween.
And - because I'm the best mom in the whole wide world ... at least according to my youngest daughter, well, at least TODAY, I was the best mom in the whole wide world, I didn't do "the list" today. Instead, I did this ...
Even Harleigh, the Wonder Dog, hardily approved!
Did I mention - my youngest daughter is 30 years old?
Sarah's a HeadStart preschool teacher in Baltimore. She's been searching for a costume and very unhappy with what's available in the Halloween stores - everything was "too slutty." When she got home today from school, I had quite a surprise for her. There was no pattern ... I totally made up the whole thing, even the hat/wig. I stitched yarn to a big circle, then added elastic. Pretty clever, huh? It's not as hot as a full wig. The stockings - Joann's - on sale!
Tomorrow ... back to the list.

Too cute (and I really want a pair of those tights!)
Super cute! Her students will go crazy for that costume.
You did great! I was Raggety Andy several years way back when and my sister was Raggety Ann. My mom dyed a mop and made the wig and Andy Hat....
Good Memories..... and plenty of kids will have their pics taken so your Raggey Ann will live for decades as well.
