think rectangular poncho ( cut everything to non trip length) -- rope or extra sheet as tie around waist and head ( to keep scarf ( which is towel or sheet ) on)

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

OK, they said the big t-shirt with a sash should be fine--"It's not like the shepherds were rich or high-fashion"--and she also thought that the teacher for Annabel's room had some costume pieces she'd borrowed from her church. She closed with, "Don't worry--we'll outfit her just fine."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I believe in cutting things, not sewing
Yes!
Hot glue, duct tape, and staples are remarkable things too.
I have this one "cape" that I have incorporated into countless costmes. It is an old velvet curtain with a piece of twine run through the top. I tie it over my shoulders and under my arms (does that make sense?). It ALWAYS get compliments.
The beauty of costumes* is that they don't have to hold up or be cleanable.
* Well, not real costumes -- Sophia has to make things that are even more durable than mere mortal clothing.

some how that reminds me of the Carol Burnett show... "I saw it in the window and I *HAD* to have it"
ION- something for the holiday spirit. Seems to fit well for Bitches: [link]

Complete with curtain rods.
Possibly one of the perfect television moments.

Which reminds me, it's time to start looking at Christmas tree skirts and see if there are any good ones to turn into JilliSkirts.

GF and I got the cutest tree skirt this year! We do a woodlands theme tree and found a patchwork skirt with corduroy and plaids and stuff with appliques (sp?) of a deer, a moose, and another animal. It is so perfect for our tree. Unfortunately, we don't even know if we'll put the tree up this year due to the remodel mess.

I don't want Annabel to look shabby and neglected,
So just how spiffy were those shepherds, anyway? They lived in a pre-velcro, pre-zipper and probably pre-button era, and they hung around with sheep.
In the time and place I grew up in, all women stayed home, but there were still a lot of costumes and decorations based largely on glue and glitter. Whatever flaws you see in her costuming will be much obvious to you than to anyone else. As far as I'm concerned, anyone who reads to their child; keeps the child fed, safe and warm; supports her education; and teaches her not to yell in the library or race with shopping carts is a good parent. The rest is gravy.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
or race with shopping cartsI still do this. Heh. I'm going to call my mom and tell her she's a bad parent.

Always Anti-fascist!
Considering that my mother used to tell me the kid-friendler parts of her crime fiction books, most of my costumes involved bath towels or plastic noses, but one year she and her friend paid somebody at school to make my friend and me Halloween costumes. My poor kid would probably end up wearing a sign that said "Shepherd". I think you can beat that, Susan.
