Stisky


and yes the high light of the week is the wee little kinda concert. so let me tell you i love making a costume. when i heard of an end of year picnic i was dreaming up a frog cossie, or maybe a tree, a turtle or even a lion.....hum i was brimming with ideas and so 2 weeks ago the letter came home marta was to be a ....mermaid....jez what is it with girls and tizzie rolls. any way there it was a mermaid and we were off to the library for ideas....that was no help and made me feel even more overwhelmed...a three yr oid as a semi clad girl with tail....
so here it is a bit of sparkle, a bit of velcro and a simple enough notion of who a mermaid is.

Great idea for the tail, She can still walk!!!What do you do with those balloons after covering them in tissue???

I have the perfect place for some sticky windows..what is the proces?

i just gasped out loud at how adorable that is. my mom made me some great haloween costumes back in the day but I love that this one velcros on and off, for everyday imagination play. Oh, to be 3 again...
