    Like many others here, I've made some costumes. But I've got pictures of some of them. First is me in my "magic" vest - I perform magic shows at children's birthday parties. Next is the most difficult thing I've ever made - a suit out of velvet. And a shirt for when I'm out of the suit.

    Wed made a bar out of my Dad's boat for our GD wedding. It was a row boat we out a sail on it and I attached flowers to chicken wire and edged the boat with it. They filled it with ice and 2 beer kegs,wine,soda,water etc. It was out door really a fun piece at the wedding.

    does a tote bag for jumper cables count as unusual?

    I have a bass ukelele that my stepmom gave me after my dad died. I also had quilt blocks from just fooling around with new patterns (not planning to make a quilt yet). So I made a quilted case with a pocket for the tuning thingy and a couple of picks. I bet your DIL loves the scrub hats...for $25 dollars each... I could get use to whipping those things out.

    I had to repair a cow pillow (had a head that was 3D), was pretty difficult as I remember.
