Poodles and Ticks and Limes - oh my!

There was a pediatric Lyme disease fundraiser this past weekend that I had been looking forward to for a month, but I was at a loss for what to wear.  I wanted something fun and festive, but also comfortable to move in.  A poodle skirt that I had made a few years ago for an oldies rock n' roll dance came to mine and when I saw that limes were being used to promote the event, I decided to have my own homophone fun updating my skirt.  

I bought a couple of hues of green felt and cut out some lime wedges to cover up the poodle.  I also left a small opening at the top, which also made the lime a convenient pocket to hold my cash and lipstick!

I got a lot of compliments throughout the night, the best one being in the form of the photographer insisting he needed a photo of me over at the photo booth, which is the one you see above.  (The green props were all his doing.)

The event was a big success towards a really great cause and the most fun I've had in a really long time.  To learn more about pediatric Lyme disease and supporting the cause, visit the Kiwanis Pediatric Lyme Disease Foundation at: www.kiwanis-ny.org/lyme
