The Dance Recital and LILIES and QUILTY STUFF

Posted By on June 7, 2008

The DANCE RECITALS (one at 3 and a second at 7 pm)  today were wonderful (and as one might have already surmised, I MIGHT not be the most objective person in the world to have an opinion!)  In fact I am such a SAP that I cry every time my grandangels dance (yes at tech rehearsal, dress rehearsal and then AGAIN for the real thing…..I just cry when I am happy – and yes, it is a tad bit embarrassing!)

Grandangel Leanna (12) danced to VISTA FROM A CAR WINDOW – a modern dance done barefoot.  I have also included a picture of all of the girls in her group.

Sarah (8) was in three dances.  The first was an IRISH DANCE – St. Patrick’s Day Parade (I LOVE IRISH DANCING!)  I love their green velvet dresses!

Sarah also took jazz this year – and their dance was YELLOW TAXI  CAB!  Sister Leanna has claimed the taxi-cab outfit for her Halloween costume next year!  (Even though Leanna is 12 and Sarah is 8 they are very similar in size.)

Sarah’s last dance was ballet to CHINA TOWN.  Sarah was so excited that she got to keep the fan!  Isn’t it fabulous to get so happy about little things in life!  🙂  Sarah says this will be her Halloween costume next year!  🙂

Lilies

I just HAD to share more pictures of my MIRACLE LILIES from QVC……even more are in bloom.

I can hardly believe these humongous blooms – they are almost as large as Nanna’s face….and I had to snap this picture on our way to the beauty shop this morning to put Nanna’s hair in a French braid for the recital.

These lilies from Roberta’s Farms (QVC) are almost as TALL AS SARAH!

QUILTY STUFF

I can’t let a day go by without sewing – even a BUSY day.  I made my blocks (I am making two each month) for the QUILTER’S CORNERS Block of the month – for June.

I just love these Civil War Repro fabrics and the patterns too…..we started in April with this one….

and then for May it was…….May\'s Block for QUILTER\'S CORNERS BOM

And I put a few more YO YO FLOWERS on my BIRTH OF A SAMPLER QUILT…..I am just so excited about these YO YOs!

And……I cut some border material for the ORANGE CRUSH MYSTERY QUILT.

That sounds like a pretty good day to me!  :):)
