tilly's first recital is tonight - her ballet company is putting on 'alice in wonderland' for the spring recital. there are about 175 ballerinas in the performance. pretty amazing. yesterday was dress rehearsal and tilly and kendall got to wear their costumes for the first time - they were so excited!
tilly's birthday is now just a week away. and her birthday trip with her friends is in two days!
i finished their little goodie bags tonight. they are made out of terrycloth with blue cording straps and monograms and silk flowers. i think they turned out pretty cute. the girls really enjoy getting to fill them with treats over the day.
tilly's birthday is closer then i think. we should do something about this...
first - we are sewing small terry cloth (read: spa-like) backpacks for her and two girlfriends for this year's birthday day trip. they will come equipped with a few girly spa-like items: lip gloss, body glitter and a travel hair brush with built-in mirror. tilly picked out the items today and was so certain these were the right items that i had to let go of any ideas i had.
the contents did lead to a cute idea for their little travel bags for the day. i hope they are as cute when they are done.
there hasn't been a lot of general craftiness since web design took over my life so girly birthday crafting will fill the spot!
so tilly's gardening grandpa commented about transplanting...well since we really don't know what we are doing, we've already moved the seeds into those little pellets because i wasn't sure how to keep everything growing without being able to move them outside.
honestly - tilly's pretty lucky i haven't killed everything already.
clockwise from the upper left we've got - morning glories, cucumbers, carrots, green beans, a mix of extra seeds and (last to come - in the dark corner) tomatoes.
cross your fingers!
it's been such a slow spring here.
we had a record season of snow, so as soon as it gets kind of sunny and kind of warm these days everyone in the neighborhood plays outside (and we've been trying to sneak in flip flops for a month!).
so, with tilly's 5th birthday just over 2 weeks away, and a nice weekend, we went and bought her birthday present early. she rode her friends 'big girl' bikes some last summer, but she was so excited to get her own bike this weekend.
(psst...it's a video)
so i realized that it has been forever since i was blogging. and i might have let it go - but i also realize it is the only place i really keep track of the things that tilly does. so if i ever wanted to know - say when she first skied down from the top of the mountain (last saturday!) i would have trouble remembering except that sometimes i write those things in a post.
the details - because they are amazing to me - Tilly dropped about 4,000 feet on Saturday from the Elk Camp lift - down Bull Run, to Funnel Bypass, to Funnel, to Assay, and skied the trail home! at 4! so incredible!
Tilly and I are on the home page of the Aspen Animal Shelter.
We are on the homepage slideshow of the Aspen Skiing Co from the first day of Ski Club (AVSC) last week with Tilly's friends Kendall and Lily and their new friend Hayes.
There's also a pic of our friend Linda in the SkiCo slideshow carving some powder!
Tilly and I had fun playing with the snowflake maker over at Noggin today. Her snowflakes turned out better than mine...
(this post goes a little too well with the new site theme i picked out. it was so easy to change to this theme - we've had 14' (that's feet!) of snow in the past 8 weeks)
we've had a lot of snow - so to show off my new toy here's tilly and i making a snowman the day that 2 feet of the 70" fell...
