Amy’s teacher has planned an end of year party in the classroom. Yes, a very nice idea.. if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s a themed party, and they have to make costumes!
I’m just NO good at that!
The theme is ‘Under the Sea’, and Amy being Amy, she wants to be a mermaid. So, today I’ve been shopping.. I bought a black and pink sarong in an adult size, then a gorgeous pink kids top, which has sparkly silver over it. The idea being with these two items is that we can get some use out of them at other times.
I’ve then added a a pink flower hair band, which she can wear on her wrist, and a flowery hair band; plus some silver crepe paper to make a silver tail.
I’m actually quite pleased with myself, and I’m praying that it all works when she tries it on!

Awwwww you have to take some photos!
My friend Jake has the same issue for both of his girls (ages 4 & 5). I hope you manage to make her something suitably aquatic and to her required standard. I don’t envy you, Michelle.
Lovely picture at the top, by the way.
