Princess TuTu













I've been inspired.
My cousin-in-law, Amanda, always has the neatest ideas.
I don't know how she does it, but she finds the time and energy with three kids to make such wonderful things. I came across one of her Facebook entries for making tutu's.
Feeling brave and creative, I bought all the stuff to make one.
It took me nearly three hours, two rolls of toille, 3 yars of silk ribbon, 3 silk roses,
and a stiff neck to complete.
The next morning, I was so excited to put it on her. I chased her around the house trying to convince her to put it on. When I finally wrangled her down and slipped it onto her waist, she started to scream, pulling at the base trying to get it off. I did manage to catch a few shots of her in it. My favorite is of her holding her brother's transformer.
It's such a true resemblance of her personality:
pretty pretty princess meets rough and tough action hero...
