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.

My life through my iPhone 2

Part II of "My life through my iPhone.                    Saturday was the Marcos De Niza Homecoming!  Kassie and Aaron had a blast!  I was able to finish Kassie's ballroom shoes on Sunday. It was spirit week for Corona del Sol and on Monday it was TV character day.  She dressed as Blaire Waldorf from Gossip Girl.  Corona had a bon fire on Thursday, and the Pommies performed a hip hop routine.  Here is a picture I stole from Instagram. On Saturday evening, the kids decided to carve pumpkins.  Here is Nachito and Chanel getting ready to carve. Kassie and her friend Amanda did some carving too!  These may not be great posts, but it's a start.

Just how long has it been? A long, long time....

Not so much of a Blogaholic. I almost feel the need to change the name of my poor little blog. It has sat here deserted with no updates and no pictures. I think about it everyday, yet I can't seem to find the time to come back to it. My intention for my blog was to document so much of our days and lives. And yet, I have let months go by without one little entry. There is no way my mind can remember everything that has happened since my last post. So much missed. The majority of Kai's 8th grade year, and the majority of Nachito's 5th grade year. Not to mention how many holidays and important events I have missed. Trips and of course Birthday parties. Somehow I need to find the time to record these events, and even if I have to back date them, I will document them at some point. This week is a tough school week for the kids. AIMS testing for both of them. Today they both felt very good about how they did. Nothing much has changed in Kai's world. She still dances, still c...
