Birthday Party at School

Since Carissa's birthday is in July, the preschool allow her to have an early birthday party so she can celebrate it with her school friends. So we decided to get it done and over with, today 4/7/2011 (which is April 7 if you read it with american calendar format, BUT it's fourth of July if you read it dd/mm/yyyy format) :D what a coinsindence!!
I made some chocolate chips cookies for the treat at her school, and made some Rice Crispies Treats with m&ms for the take home treats.
She was so excited when I actually came and stay in her classroom till snack time is over. She keep on telling everyone that today is her birthday party :) and she brought her mommy and her little sister to school today. I wish I could stay the entire day and watch her, but my little crabby pants already ready for her morning nap. So we had to go home.
Happy early birthday my big girl.. mommy loves you :D

Tutu Bag

My friend inspired me to make this cute tutu bag, she's a sewing pro and she actually got some ordered from her client to make this tutu bag (different version/style) but when I googled for the tutorial, I found this cute bag that looks like a ballet leotard. So I tried to come up with my own pattern.

I remember I have this silky pink material from my friend's neighbor, so I decided to make one for Carissa since she loves her dance class so bad. Plus next semester she can actually go to ballet/tap dance class so she needs a bag to carry both her ballet & tap shoes :).

LOVE the result. I might make this again for Carissa's birthday party favor :).

Self Taught Step Dancing

Carissa can't wait till she takes tap class.. so she decided to self taught herself by watching Step Dance for toddlers DVD that we borrowed from the library.
