The Nutcracker

I grew up dancing, so of course, I would enroll my daughter in dance! We are so lucky that our small town has a fabulous dance studio, and she gets to attend the one that I attended my entire childhood and her auntie attended!  A few weeks ago they put on the production of the Nutcracker, it was the 10th production (they do a ballet every other year). I was in the first 2, auntie in the next 7, and now D was in the 10th!

The amazing principal dancers, performing the Sugar Plum Fairy. She came from LA, he came from NYC. Back in my day of dancing, I danced with him, he was a few years younger, but we danced in a few of the larger studio productions together. Now if only he could have shared some of his amazing talent with me! ha!

 Before the show, Grandma gave her the little Nutcracker!

With Daddy after one of the performances.

It was a long week of practices late at night (for such a young girl), and 4 performances. She never once complained, and loved every second of it! made a mommy proud :)

Shirts, shirts, shirts

It is so sad how far behind I am at sharing anything...all of these pictures are from house #3, we are now living in house #5. But I still wanted to share for my own benefit to remember things I've made!

 Made for the twins of my dear hubby's cousin. These were some of my favorite shirts :)

 For two sweet brothers!

 These two went for two brothers who were awaiting the arrival of #3!

Stockings

I know it's "way" past Christmas, but I just wanted to post a picture of the adorable stockings I got to make this year, love!

Color

I have forgotten to take pictures of WAY too many projects this past year. But, here is a blanket I did a month ago that is one of my current favorites :)

Minky Giraffe Pants

LOVE these little pants I made for baby B. Super simple, very similar way of making it as the Made tutorial. I added ruffles to the bottom for some kicky flash :)

Valentine Box

A little late is better than never, right?

I found this idea on Pinterest, and ran with it. Well, slowly guided my 4 year old who had her own ideas and vision of what to do with the supplies I gave her...

Connor's Blanket

We have SO many pregnant friends right now...I have a complete inventory of material ready for baby blankets, my go to baby gift :)  I love flannel on one side and minky on the other, it's been a favorite of ours here so that is what I make our friends!

A dump truck for a Construction company owning daddy!

So soft and cozy, makes me want to snuggle in :)
