This designer is so talented when it comes to fairy tales. This would be just adorable for your own Infant Ariel (my only red head was a boy). The cocoon part is fairly standard, but that fin is so realistic. The designer goes into a great deal of detail about where to start it as well as its worked directly onto the existing cocoon.

I just came up with this great idea. If you participate in selling your stuff at craft fairs, why not do your entire table in everything baby? Baby accessories are so on trend right now, and I do not see them going away any time soon. Mommies love their newborn photo props, don't they? There are other mermaid tails out there, yes, but this one just LOOKS nice, you know? Some I have seen look kinda wonky.

That's a great idea! Our senior center is having a yard and craft sale at the end of summer, and my crochet class is already planning to participate. I'll run this by them and see what they think.
