DIY ~ Emma's Head Piece

My dear friend Emma is doing her very first solo this year at dance competition!!

We went the other day to find her a cute top to wear and we found a super sparkly tunic that did just the trick.

Now she just needed a matching hair piece to finish off the look!

Here's how I made it!

Take four or five bobby pins and glue the end of a 3 inch piece of ribbon to the top.

Wrap it around the top prongs of the bobbypins.

Secure the loose end with your glue gun.

Embellish however you want.

I used feathers, a fabric polkadot flower, some fake lei flowers and glue gun!!!

I also added some sparkly pipecleaners that I swisted around my finger!

It turned out super cute!

Cheers,

Messy

PL Peek: Dance Competition

I had a fabulous weekend! ;)

I went to the Shine Dance Competition in Kingston, Ontario with my kidlets.

All day Friday and Saturday were spent watching students dress up, get ready, stretch, stress, have minor meltdowns, get so nervous they want to die/pee their pants/passout or crap themselves and then kill it on stage. :)

MISS SHELLEY IS SOOOOOOO PROUD OF EVERY ONE OF YOU!!!

Love you guys. xoxo

We got some great scores and some not so great scores.

My favorite number went off amazingly, they were together, the choreography looked great, spacing was bang on, noone forgot the steps....

and we got gold.

This is a low score...

GOLD - HIGH GOLD - PLATINUM - DIAMOND.

I am very anxious to see what the comments from the adjudicators are.

Too ballet not enough modern?

Wrong category?

These are the only things I can think of.

I have to admit.

I was pretty upset.

I went to my car and had a little scream and held back tears.

I was counting on this number. :(

Oh well, maybe they will tell me what they didn't like and we can fix it before next competition.

You win some, you lose some.

I will say, we did have people standing in the audience, other dancers were telling there parents when we were waiting to go on that they HAD to see our number.

The place was packed...and it sounded like everyone loved it.

We love it.

Ok enough, enough, enough.

I will make sure to let you all know what the adjudicators said when I find out this week :)

Fingers crossed it just needs to be changed categories.

We had loads of other dances too that we did really well on, and now I feel bad about venting. {sigh}
Moves Like Jagger is one of my favorites :)
