I know I'm a little slow on the uptake when it comes to computer stuff,but I
think I've managed to make an online album so you can see the ferret
costumes. They are made out of t shirt weight knit (was told no fake fur or
sweatshirt fleece as it was too hot for Houston) that I painted. The sleeves
are half black knit and the body tan colored. I feathered the black paint at
the sleeves and leg openings (they wore black sweatpants). The ears ,which
took me a few tries to get the size and shape I wanted ,didn't have enough
body to stand up so I zigzagged over pipe cleaners(chennille stems) to give
them shape. The masks were cut out of black cut away stabilizer I had for
embroidery and had an elastic to hold them around the head. I kind of made
it up as I went along.
The kids loved them...when we went for a visit at Thankgiving they were
wearing the costume around the house.

The costumes are too cute! It has been hot in Houston the past few days
after the cold front left the area. I have the a/c on today, but may have
to turn the heat back on by Monday.
