heard them stirring.



Here is the fox costume I mentioned yesterday. Yes, it is massive on me, but that's because it's made for a man who is around six foot, and I am a mere five foot two. I kind of like it massive though, it makes me feel like a little child or a cuddly toy.

My brother commissioned it for a stag do that he is involved with. The general idea is that the stag will dress as a fox and they will chase him around Exeter, or something. So if you're in Exeter tonight, look out for a fox! And tell him congratulations on his upcoming wedding!

Gawwwwd I love making costumes. I wish I could just make a new costume every week and then wear costumes all the time. But I can't afford to do this, nor do I have the time :( maybe when I retire...



Stay foxy!
