[HPFGU-OTChatter] halloween costumes

| Hey everybody
| I was wondering if I could get some suggestions. My thirteen 
| year old daughter has decided that for halloween she wants to 
| be Arnold, yes the pigmy puff. I have absolutly no clue how 
| to make her a costume for this. So I was wondering if any one 
| had any ideas, I know there is no place I could buy one and 
| my sewing is pretty rough. I do knit but I wouldnt even know 
| where to start and I doubt I would have enough time to knit 
| something. So that's it thanks for any tips.

[Lee]:
Ouch! That's about as rough as wanting to dress like a Tribble!  I'd say
you'll probably need to lay your hands on fake fur, but that can be a hot
costume depending on where you are.

In a pinch, I'd say try to find a custard-colored (that's in the general
description of Puffskeins) long dress that's too large for your daughter,
strap some pillow stuff in to make her look--uh--ball-shaped, and perhaps
contrive some fuzzy-furry mask of same-color stuff with a long, thin, pink
tongue.

I hope some of the more creative beings on the list can come up with
something more tangible. <Grin>

Cheers,

Lee :-)
