We found beige coloured clothes and I drew the badges from the internet. We had a homemade marshmallow man piñata, and a … Read more
Our six year old started asking in mid September for a Ghostbusters costume. We thought that was pretty surprising, as he has never seen the movie and scares pretty easily.

This is Cooper. He’s a funny guy. He has a great laugh, and has frequently been described by others as ‘silly’. He’s too little to understand it, just yet, but as it turns out… his parents are insane. They are the type of folks that would set out on a mission to “out-do” the surprisingly … Read more

The body works ok if you don’t care about the head and body being made out of the same material. … Read more
I was born in 1986, the year the animated series “The Real Ghostbusters” premiered, so to say I’ve been a lifelong fan of Ghostbusters would be quite accurate.

No! It can’t be… It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Baby . This is my 9 month old son and I, right out of a scene from Ghostbusters. This is my first attempt at sewing in about 15 years, but I got the idea and just had to make it! I used jersey fabric and pillow … Read more
This Stay Puft Marshmallow Man costume was a huge hit! I thought of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man after watching my newly-walking little bow stomp around the house. I didn’t have much time and knew if I pulled out my sewing machine it would double the creation time so I did this all with a hot … Read more

Being a lifelong tinkerer, I decided to look into building something akin to ‘the real thing’, movie accurate (or at least mostly so). So I got online and started searching, what … Read more
