30 years old

Few days ago was my birthday and, as the title suggest, I turned the big 3-0. 

I must confess that this year I really dreaded my birthday because it made me think of the dreams I had 10 years ago and what I accomplished so far. 

I know I have 2 wonderful kids and a husband that loves me and that more that other people have, but I also know that I'm still 20 pounds overweight (more on that in another post) and so far haven't been able to find a part time job that really work for me (aside for my online business of course). 

 The other day I was talking with hubby on how is seems that around here "part time job" means you get PART of the money lol But I digress. 

I was able to spend a lovely day with my friends and my neighbor got me this feet pampering set 


And the amazing peeps at SweetChoiceBakery made me this amazingly heavenly YUMMY cake 


My mother-in-law send me a cute cupcake card....it's musical too 


 And also some new sparkly yarn that was the inspiration for these

Michelle Kindergarten recital

2 days ago, my little Michelle had her very first school recital, she was a cute little flower.
When the teacher sent the note home for the costume, I immediately went to dig up my very first ballet tutu that I even wore. I thought, it's pink and it will be perfect! And here it is!


Oh yes, ladies and gentlemen. You're looking at a vintage piece as I was 8 when I got to rock this baby.
My daughter is 5 so I was a little bit shocked that I didn't have to retouch it in any way, not even the shoulder straps! Then I remember that this tutu was already resuscitated once, when my little sister was 5.....but I'm digressing.

My daughter loved the costume and even more so after I told that it was mine and I was proud of her having it now (it's not that I can really wear it anymore you know!).
Still, beside to the emotional attachment, I wasn't really satisfied as it didn't look "flower" enough.

That's when mama go shopping for pretty fabric and gets out the sewing machine!!! Of course, Michelle had to like everything too, so off we went and after some running around, some noisy sewing and a lot of trying on, we got the "flower look" I was aiming for.



A petal finish over skirt with sequin fabric and hand sewn flowers on her neckline and the front of the skirt and she looked just darling for her recital



Maybe I should have added sleeves.....what do you think???
