Our Dancing Dolls:
This is our 5th Nutcracker and I think this is my favorite Nutcracker so far. The kids had a great time and sitting in the audience I have to say so did everyone who came out to watch! This show was so much more enjoyable because the kids and families really got into the theatrics. There were expression, acting, our Mother Ginger is amazing as well as the mom's behind it all! This has been the busiest season yet. I was put in charge of boutique this year and I decided to make new Snow headpieces (to match the Snow Queen that my friend and I made last year). I still have one more to make... ( one for me :)
Here are the Snow Headpieces:
Snow Queen:
During this busy time we have celebrated both my son's birthdays, my husbands birthday, and Thanksgiving. We also suffered through 2 deaths in our family. My Uncle back in October and just 6 weeks later my Grandfather a week ago this past Sunday. I think keeping busy is what got me through everything. This is the first year that we have ever had Nutcracker this early and as busy as we all were scrambling for the finish line, I am ever so thankful that we got it done. Now everyone can relax and really enjoy the spirit of Christmas this year. So here are some photos of some of the jewelry I made. My scrabble tile pendant were a hit ... they had images of vintage ballerina's, and sayings like "Royal Dancer", "Snow Queen", "Spanish Dancer", and "Little Princess".
A few of my copper cuff bracelets that I taught myself to make:
This necklace is one of my favorites...it tells a story. You have the bird, the bee, the flowers and the egg. I was explaining that to a woman at the boutique and she named it "Fertility" I LOVE that!
My Sea Glass necklaces, which I call my "Mermaid Tears" collection:
