The big day is finally here!

Finally after months of preparing...running back and forth to dance classes, and countless weeks of making costumes....the night is here! This weekend our darling daughter, Precious Princess has her dance concerts (one Friday night, one Saturday afternoon, and one Saturday night). We are all so excited!


With some last minute sewing (madly making a new can can skirt in 2 days! Thanks to my Mum!xx)


keeping my sewing lady's (aka Mum) energy levels up with some yummy lamington cake...


and ice cold smoothies.....


and even though we are really feeling worn out like this.....


and this.....


we have got everything together and are ready to rock n roll this weekend at Princess' dance concerts! lol


I'll be staggering around to visit with you soon. In the mean time, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend too!

Love Amanda xxx

Good luck in the dance competition!

I enjoyed the posts, also, about your lovely thrifted items. That desk was a great find ... so was that changing table. White paint works wonders.

Sorry I have been so scarce. We are deeply embroiled in our house drama.

More on that later.

Have a great weekend and the best of luck to your daughter!

love love love!

p.s. I had never heard of that kind of cake. I know you throw those things in just for me and I LOVE it!!! Thank you!
