Flamenco

It seems like, at least once a year, one of my children will ask for a gift that simply isn't a thing. Last year it was Everly's Elsa castle. This year, Laney would like a black flamenco skirt bedecked in romantic yellow, red, and orange flowers. 

The internet has never heard of this skirt. 

For one crazy second, I considered sewing one.

Then I remembered we have a very "flamencoish" red skirt amongst our dress ups. And I thought, "I'll just dye it black!"

Only it didn't turn black. 

Only the lace turned black. 

So then I realized I needed synthetic dye.  Well, duh.

And now I have a maroon skirt.

Um... please hold...I'm gonna need to think about this.
