There's something about mermaids that I just really like. One of my co-workers loves them too and tried to get me to give her this set. In fact, most of my friends like mermaids. One of my friends showed up at a Halloween party in a handmade mermaid costume. Shed gotten a skin tight flesh colored t shirt and glued shells over the strategic points. From a distance she looked nearly topless. Then we went house to house on a scavenger hunt and nearly caused traffic accidents. It was awesome.

Getting back to the set, I tried to find mermaid embroidery designs that were more vintage but they were too intricate for the small sewing tools so I went with the little mermaid girls. My favorite is the one with the shell & pearl in her hand. I had to ask myself the question, do mermaids have purple hair? I decided they do.
