mermaid tail pattern for doll

How cute is this mermaid Tail? There is a pattern for it Here and you can make it for your child's doll! Adorable right? My daughter has her dance recital rehearsal tonight, they are dancing to "Under the Sea" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid" they have 2 other numbers as well, but the lady that made the mermaid tails for the costumes did an AMAZING job! I am going to see if I can get her to do a guest post and show you a picture of them from tonights dress rehearsal. WOW!  Anyway my daughter wants her dolls to have mermaid tails too, so I came across this tutorial, and I like that it can easily come off and be put on most any doll because it is elastic waist. 

Silly Monkey Boy!

 I love my sweet monkey boy! and I think all little boys have to be little monkeys based on the ones I know. I am trying to think ahead for his birthday. LOL, I know, I know! He is only 4 months old, but you can never start planning to early.

So I obviously am loving the monkey theme. I think it is too ridiculously adorable. And I found these cute printable cupcake toppers!

But for now, I like him in monkey items! So what do you think about this that I found here

I also LOVE this idea for using Stamps! I used to be a demo for Stampin' Up! Products and have TONS of fun stamps! I like recycling and re-purposing items to make them more personal and fun! I could see a lot of different uses for this! Think this may be a project I could use my preschooler's help to do this week! I found the tutorial on how to do this here.

Do you have any patterns or tutorials for boys or monkey related that you love, have tried, or want to try?
