Costumes

Sandy finished Kai's new costume! It's exactly what I wanted. She did an amazing job. The skirt is perfect, and the colors look great. I was worried about the colors a little, but now that it's finished I really do like it. The bottom ruffle has a hot pink lining, the middle ruffle has yellow, and the top one has a turquoise blue. When she leaps and turns, you can really see the colors. I ordered the rhinestones, and they have come in. I have started to rhinestone, but this one is going to take me a few days. I decided to just order 30 gross first, and if it needs more, than I can order some more. I went with 20 gross of 20 ss Jet, 3 gross of 20 ss Citrine, 3 gross of 20 ss Meridian blue and 4 gross of 20 ss Fuchsia. I will be busy rhinestoning this weekend, and hopefully I will get done and post some pictures on Monday.










I am also working on a new costume for a group number called Cover Girl. It's a Junior group number for NYCDA in Phoenix and then for Nationals. I'm desperately looking for any accessories in lime green. There are 20 girls in the number, and I would like them to all have different lime green accessories. Hats, bracelets, headbands, anything really cute. If any of my local blog readers see something, please let me know. This number is going to be super cute, so the costumes need to be too!!!
The design of this dress is inspired by the late Alexander McQueen. I was looking at some of his designs the week that he died and I found one that with a few changes and some color is going to be perfect for this costume.
They are dancing with shopping bags, hand mirrors, and sunglasses. I ordered some very cute shopping bags that are polka dot with lime green, orange and a magenta pink. All those colors will be incorporated into the costume. The actual dress will be the fushia/magenta color and it has an orange underskirt made out of tulle. It should turn out very, very cute. I will post pictures once it's all done.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would ...
