    Day 28 2012 {The Circus Girl}

    This one is special to me because Stella is wearing one of my old dance costumes. When we got it out, it still had the same smell I remember all of our costumes having when we first got them back in dance class. Oh the nostalgia. We added some old feathers to her head and dollar store clip-on earrings. I tried to use real cotton candy, but all I could find was the mass packaged stuff at the store, which just didn’t look right. At the last second I remembered I had a roll of pink soft tulle. It was perfect! After the photos I decided to put Twiggy in the spotlight for a second. You’ve got to have a circus poodle!

    Day 24 2012 {Kitchen Nightmares on Elm Street with Freddy Cruller}

    Get it? Because of the cooking show “Kitchen Nightmares”  and then a cruller is a type of pastry. Yes, this is the epitome of cheesy but sometimes I just can’t help myself. Poking fun of scary things is a great coping mechanism so I thought what’s scarier than baking in the kitchen? Ha, seriously I’m not a good cook so it’s frightening for everyone. Freddy adds the comic relief. The apron and hat are both from Hobby Lobby. They were on sale for just $2 each! I’m hoping I can do something cute with the apron for Christmas just to get extra use out of it. I painted the stripes with a puffy green fabric paint and the hat was done with brown and black markers. I also turned her oven mitt inside out and used a brown marker on it and then added craft foam for Freddy’s crazy knife nails poking through. She was getting into this one. Probably because more doughnuts were involved. I also want to thank my awesome husband for shooting this while I stood on the side trying to keep red icing off our carpet. Oh and yes, our favorite little monster, Jason, is hanging out in the oven.

    “Welcome to my kitchen!” Looking a little more jolly in this one.

    A little behind the scenes action before we started.

    This was just a test photo Rob took, but I like it.

    Day 5 2012 {Super Stella}

    SUPER STELLA is here to save the day!!!  Before she was born, her dad wanted to name her Crimefighter. Seriously.  By the way, there is a celebrity child out there with that name.  Obviously he didn’t get his way, but today she is his little crimefighter.

    She was hamming it up big time for this one, so I couldn’t quit shooting.  After about 5-10 minutes, she said “Okay, that’s enough.” And began to disrobe. But I was left with too many favorites, so I couldn’t pick just one shot for today.

    The mask and cape are just a little dress up set she had.  The boots came from a cowgirl costume.  Old leotard and tights. Wrist cuffs from felt and those Christmas stars on wire.  And yes, I’m aware that I need help in my lettering.  It’s a pretty bad excuse for an S, but Super Stella didn’t seem to mind.
