One of Miss Clare’s little friends had a spooky party for his 6th birthday.  Clare decided to go as Bride of Dracula.

She was very excited about getting dressed up – her costume had been ready for days!  She did her own makeup, but declined the offer of some plastic vampire teeth – too uncomfortable.  I made her veil a little while ago from an old curtain and headband, and her cape was made from an op-shop ladies skirt with the back seam unpicked and a neck ribbon added.

A potential victim maybe?  The kids had a ball, with all sorts of ghoulish costumes, themed party games and lots of wonderful party food.  A terrific party theme – although a few children were more scared than spooked!
