Zoe was invited to a Rock' N 'Roll party yesterday. At first i just thought ,'hey,great music' but realized that rock 'n roll meant i had to make a costume! So off I went to Lincraft to pick up the cheapest materials i could find,a pattern and a top for Zoe to look the part.
$50.00 later i had the materials... that was it. Looking back in it, it would have been cheaper to hire a costume but i suppose Zoe has the outfit forever now.
So i made a long 'poodle' skirt. Zoe wanted a cat not a poodle so appliqued one out of felt on to the skirt. added a 'bling' collar on it, then made a net petticoat to go under. then as i could not get a large elastic belt in black i make a large black 'headband' that Zoe could wear around the waist that looked the part. All in all Zoe looked great and at the party had a great time, managed to spill food and drink on the skirt,much to my despair, then started to climb a tree an the equipment with the boys that were there and ripped the skirt in 2 places!!! she is such a tomboy!

Congratulations Zoe - you have a new cousin, and to Uncle Rob & Auntie Tara. bet that makes you feel old. I was only 16 when Helen's arrival made me an Auntie but I was far too young to feel old back then! Now I'm a great Aunt a few times over and sometimes feel ancient - maybe that's because I am. Hey ho. You look lovely in your Rock 'n Roll dress Zoe. Mummy is very clever.
Your Thank You card has arrived. Some lovely photos of Zoe on it. Ta
Zoe looks so pretty and girlie, it's hard to believe from these pics she's a tomboy!
