Michelle ballet concert

Last weekend was my daughter ballet concert, so enjoy some pictures! 

She was very cute and sparkly on stage and learned lots of new steps, but most importantly, she had so much fun! Her smile lights up the whole theater! 

I had to catch some of that light ihihihih

Ballet recital

 

My little Michelle had her recital last Saturday and she was super super cute! Don't you agree??

 

I really wish that my camera will take better pictures in the dark, but the quality is not as bad as the video :(

  

This is her ballet piece, she's the second girl from the left. 

This is her tap number during rehearsal (I really hated the giant bunned head that came into the videos the night of the recital lol) 

Grand finale 

Worth of a diva, don't you think? 

 

 

Behind the scene....

 

Michelle first ballet recital is fast approaching!! Last Saturday we were out and about for a photo shooting. I, of course, had to peak some LOL 

 

Here is my baby with her teacher to master "the pose".

 

When all was said and done, we ended up with these  

 Looking forward to the photographer professional prints!

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???

Christmas dance recital

My little ballerina had a Christmas dance recital last Saturday.
After months of waiting out at her dance lessons, I finally got to see the fruit of my time and who know why, she pulled the shy card! But all in all, she was incredibly cute :)
