A Fisherman Costume For $5 Plus Some Creativity!
Like my little deep sea fisherman costume, as opposed to a fly fisherman costume? Truthfully I’m happy with the results, though many many people kept asking my son what he was dressed up as. For Americans, or at least adults, the beard and pipe are enough of a hint, right? This year I have a…

The crocheted beard that I whipped up for my eight year old’s Mordechai HaTzaddik costume was a huge success! Not only did it complete his costume, it was comfortable to wear, and even kept him warm as the Purim party/barbeque we attended went into the night and temperatures dropped!

Ever heard of crocheted nose warmers? I hadn’t either until I received an email request to make one, and while i don’t generally do custom crochet orders, this one was a request by a newly-wed for a gift for his wife whose nose tends to get cold, so sweet I just couldn’t resist!
