Little Mermaids...

It's Father-Daughter Dance time again! The dance is next Friday night. Julia and Sara scored some beautiful "mermaid" dresses, as they call them. The dresses have a sheer overlay, and the fabrics are beautiful blues and greens. Last year they got all dolled up...has it really been a whole year?

So of course I am charged with the hair accessories. I took the dresses with me to the fabric store and picked up shiny satin fabric that was a fairly decent match. With a few stitches, some felt, and some beads, they came together quite nicely!


Sara's dress on the left is aqua and lime green. She wants just one flower pulled to the side of a head full of curls.

Julia's dress is an emerald green and turquoise. It is lovely on her. She has longer hair, so she wants her 'usual' do- tossed up with some whispies coming down on each side, with the flowers tucked in at the top. She decided she needed two flowers for this look.

Of course I'll be sharing pictures next weekend. We still need shoes, so I'll be on the hunt for those. I'm all for practical shoes- the girls know they have to choose shoes that they can wear all summer. Adam decided we should go to the Olive Garden that night. So I have a date with a very handsome boy while Mark and the girls are off to the dance. Luckiness all around.
