I just got off the phone with the Tacoma City Ballet Company. Last year I was in the chorus (I sing in the Tacoma Symphony Chorus) for a couple of the performaces of the Nutcracker, and the lady who runs the school a the TCB saw my DD with me, and said, "This girl has a dancer's body, and you must get her into classes this coming year." We didn't have the money at the time, but DH got a raise last January, and after getting our finances reorganized, we now have the money for her tuition. I called today, and classes start on Thursday. I wasn't ready for that...but she's going anyway! Boy is she excited! My baby is growing up so quickly! At least we can qualify this as an education expense on our taxes, since we homeschool...LOL. This will be her PE requirement.
On a bead related note: Has anyone ever seen a ballerina bead? I want to make her a ballet themed quilted wallhanging, and I love to decorate my wallhangings with beads. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for letting me ramble on about my news!
