Lazy life, you cracked me up! Last time I went sexy I was slutty smurfette, so that tells you how long ago that was. My 16 yr. old is having a party the 28th (here for ideas), I hope the costumes aren't too overboard. If I'm judging by what I've seen some of them wear to school, where they are somew...

I made my scarecrow a crow. I took a volley ball and wrapped it in black fabric tied at the bottom. Then I made a beak out of orange felt and stitched it on. I sewed on big white buttons for eyes and put an old straw hat on the head. I used an old red/black check wool coat and jeans and stuffed them...
