Another shot of the dress….

4308-002small.jpgHere is the dress and fan. The dress is still a little large for her and I am in the process of having it altered…again. I am also having a solid “sky blue” dress made for her. Once the blue theme is complete, she wants to go pink…go figure.

The “Regalia” in the making…..

Moccasins

Okay, so ffffffffiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnaaalllllllllllllyyyyyyyy we find high top moccasins for princess!  Yea! I want to use moose, because it is so soft. But, cow will do for now. I found a pretty soft pair and she likes them, so next comes the beading part. I’m not sure if I will bead on them or not. I’m still debating. These have a lot of things on them and are not the ones she will wear indefinately. So, as I am working on her belt and dress, I will decide. We are hoping to post a video on here. Will work on it tonight. Wish me luck!

Barrette

Here are 2 barrettes that are still on the loom. The blue one I made for princesses little best friend. She is also learning to dance with her. They are really cute and have 2 totally different beats. The yellow one is for princess. I actually made 2 of those. Princess has hair past her bottom and it is ssssssssooooooooooooo thick!!!! But it is beautiful. So her hair requires adult size beadwork. Have to run. Will post more later :)

The belt in the making……….

This is only about 1/8 of the way complete…… The silver lined sea blue gets a little distorted when the size of the picture is increased.

The practice continues….

March 27, 2008

So we spent the weekend practice dancing. Princess and her little dancing buddy decided they wanted to try a FAST song…well, that lasted about 10 seconds :) So we went back to windsong, girls traditional. I am making a belt for one of her costumes. It is coming out so beautiful! She picked the colors and at first I wasn’t crazy about them, but I must admit it is shaping up pretty nice. I will try to post a picture of what it looks like so far. It is silver lined sea blue, silver lined medium blue and cream. I am also working on her barettes. I haven’t cut them off the loom yet, but I will try to post them anyway. I also received a telephone call from her school yesterday and talked to her homeroom teacher. Great news! Next month she will be tested for the gifted program! I am so proud of her! and very excited! I Love homeschooling her, but did not really realize how much she would advance by being taught at home! It makes a big difference when children receive individual attention in the learning arena.  Thanks for stopping by and I will get busy trying to post some pics………
