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

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???

Randomness Saturdays

♥ It's Saturday night and I have a terrible headache :(
Not sure if it was for being so upset this week, for the hot sun in my head during this morning soccer game or the cheeseburger I hate. Or all the above.

♥ Enjoyed a nice trip to the thrift store to find a black shirt for Michelle to go with this for her Halloween costume.

From urmysunshine on artfire.

Guess what she will be dressed?

♥ Not much going on around, slow week business-speaking and a roller coaster in the personal area....c'est la vie, I guess.

♥ I found this interesting article on yahoo: Slow cooker dessert recipes. They sound really yummy and I was wondering if I should try some gluten-free version of some. I thought I'd share the link, maybe some of you might like try them on and let me know how delicious they are :)

♥ Enjoying the movie "Snow White and the seven dwarfs" with my children: I like that every time I ask Gabriel to clean up his room or pick up his clothes, he tunes: "eho, eho, I work I must go!" Too funny.

♥ I leave you with my favorite song. I know I posted it before, but I'm listening to it a lot lately and hubby is teaching me to play it on the key board: I'm your of Jason Mraz
