Back to life as we know it.....

The costumes are almost done, the house is put back together and the laundry is in the process of being done. It feels so good to have some semblance of normal back in our life. I thoroughly enjoy doing the costumes but I am more than ready for some free time and our normal routine.

The kids are eating breakfast right now and then we will be doing school. After that I may see if I can finish up the 3 costumes I have left so I can really be done. I counted them the other day and realized I have made 32 costumes completely from scratch. Leotards, skirts everything... that's quite an accomplishment. I did have some help from wonderful friends and from my kids but still WOW I'm amazed at how much we got done in such a small amount of time.

Now that we're back to normal life I'm sure I will post more often again and take more pictures but for now this little update will have to do.

Here is the information for the show.....Please let me know if you would like a ticket. We would love for you to come see the show.

(yes I realize it says insert your info here, I can't figure out how to change it so my info is Angel 283-9250)

Snow White.... better known as why I've been absent.

Our ballet studio that the kids dance at is doing a production of Snow White. All six kids will be dancing in it... and I am sewing a lot of the costumes!  Between rehearsals and costumes I have been quite consumed.
I am relieved to say though the end is in sight thanks to some fabulous friends and my wonderfully understanding and helpful family.

I was going to wait until professional picture day to post pics but I just can't wait so you're getting a sneak peak ;)

The Evil Queen

Darkness

(there are 9 of these total)

Tree Nymphs

(12 of these) 

My little Bunny

There are also 4 Sunshines, 2 Soldiers, and some other random small projects that I don't have pictures of quite yet.

Want to see what my living room looks like in the midst of making 30 some odd costumes from scratch.......

 Thank Goodness I have such an understanding husband!

The show will be May 6th at the Bentonville High School and 7th at the Springdale High School.
If you would like to see the show please let me know. I will have tickets available soon for $10 per adult or $5 per child. It will truly be a fabulous show that you can enjoy even if you aren't related to any of the performers by blood!
