Mermaid Tail

I have been completely engrossed in custom orders lately. My current order is several newborn baby props for a lovely local photographer. She has commissioned some charming items including a mermaid outfit. Since it is unlike anything I have ever made before, I, of course, decided to make it last. Well, this little mermaid tail almost beat me. Each time I thought I had it figured out, I would stop to look at what I had crafted in utter disappointment, rip out all the stitches, and formulate a new plan. I had to restart it 8 times. But, I finally came up with a pattern that invokes the movement of the ocean and whimsy of the mystical sea creature. I completed the delightful little mermaid outfit last night and I am quite pleased with how it turned out! Take a look!


Take pride in everything you do and never settle for anything less than the very best.

Hmm, let's see how this works...

Well folks, I'm trying something new. I've never blogged before, so be patient with me as I figure this whole thing out!
