As so aptly said in the movie "27 Dresses," the best thing about this (bridesmaids) dress is you can shorten it (or not) and wear it again." Though often said it is rarely true. However when Melissa chose this bridesmaids dress 25 years ago little did she know I would be still wearing it. It was used for my Little Bo Peep costume 3 years ago. This year it inspired this Little Miss Muffet costume and display for my church's Trunk or Treat yesterday. Thanks to Melissa's dress, some Pinterest inspiration and dad's truck, it all came together for a fun display.

| A bit of an arachnophobic nightmare. In addition to the giant spider and the one on my shoulder, there was 200 tootsie pop spiders and a dozen or more plastic ones. |
 |
| Giant spider was made from a yoga ball, large garbage bag, black duct tape, pipe insulators and massive google eyes. |
 |
| The kids got to pick their spider (tootsie pop or plastic) or something from my curds and whey bowl. |
 |
| I made 200 of these over the course of several evenings while watching movies. |
 |
| I am not sure if I was aware at the time of the wedding that this fabric was Waverly. If so it was lost on me. Evidently that is significant in my southern town by comments made yesterday. |
 |
| With the tootsie pop spiders all gone, Spidey is all packed up and ready to go home. |
