There are many reason why I am VERY behind on blogging. But, the biggest reason would be...tutus.
My friend Tara teaches two itty bitty dance classes, and she was preparing the girls for a christmas show. So, we had the grand idea of making the girls all tutus for their dance. 17 tutus. Then we decided if we were already making 17 why not make some more. My kids school was having a holiday craft fair, and we could all use a little extra christmas cash, so we reserved a spot in the fair and ordered all the supplies. We did all this at the end of October. Two weeks before the dance show and craft fair we hadn't even started on the tutus...nothing like working under pressure.
After many long, late nights and the help of some devoted friends we completed 44 tutus and countless hair clips...
Tara and I at the craft fair...
Was it worth all the hard work???
Well, Owen told me the next time I want to make a little extra cash to ask him and he will just give it to me...so much for supporting the entrepreneural wife...well that and maybe because we only sold 1 tutu dress and a few flower clips.
But, we had many good laughs during the late night hours...and now have a plethra of tutus for EVERY occasion.
