3 new projects finished!

Last night I did a few sewing projects I've had in mind for a few weeks now. Well, only one that I actually had in mind, the others were just because I had extra material left. :)

The original project was the small bag. It was originally intended to hold Olivia's dance shoes for her dance class, but I made it a bit larger so it could be used as an overnight bag when she goes on a sleepover. I also decided to make a small pillowcase with the leftovers. (I bought lots of material in case I messed it up too badly to fix. *lol* I'm not much of a sewer, I prefer Cross-stitching instead!) The pillow is actually only half the size of a regular one. I had an old pillow that's had lots of use and was about as thin as a piece of paper. *lol* So I folded it in half to make it an ok thickness and made the case to fit around that. It's her new "sleepover" pillow and it matches her bag. She was so excited this morning when she got up and saw them. Here's a quick peek.

I also ended up making one more project before bed. My Aunt Care and my cousins Ocean and Jesse were visiting from PEI this weekend for my grandfather's 75th birthday party and Ocean asked me to make her a little bag for her iPod, so I used some of the leftovers to make a tiny version of Olivia's bag. Isn't it cute!!!

Dance Class

Olivia started dance class last week. The class she's taking is for 3-5 year olds (She's going to be 3 this month!) and they do a half hour of tap dance each Monday evening.

The first night she just ran in circles the whole time, yelling "Daddy, Daddy, I'm Dancing!!"

Boy did she have fun!!!



Here are a few pictures:

Here are a bunch of the girls in Dance class. Olivia is the one standing up, not paying attention to the teacher. *lol* That's my girl!

Here's Olivia wandering around while she was supposed to be dancing... We didn't get her tap shoes until the next day, there were none in town and we had to get a family friend to pick them up when she made a trip to Halifax the next day.

Here's Olivia posing for the camera after we got home that night. What a cutie pie!
