We've been keeping up our tradition of mom-made birthday gifts, and this year she requested a mermaid doll. So I made this one to match her mom-made halloween costume.
I made a couple little tweaks on a great pattern from etsy.
Ok, she snagged a new Land of Nod unicorn, too.
And we threw her a party based on her kid brother's favorite page of a lovely book called "Dream Animals" by Emily Winfield Martin.

Ola helped make the paper and yarn jellyfish:
Kinda enjoyed having the yard look like a seafood restaurant:
