Dewdrop tutu on it's new owner

Here is Larran in her tutu, I am always relieved when I know a tutu has arrived safely and fits! Her mum has promised me a photo with shoes at a later date, I think she looks beautiful and can't wait to hear reports of how it looks on stage under lights.


I have also just got some lovely "on stage" photos of tutus I have made, they are in the gallery. Thanks Dee for the lovely photos of Jemima.

Photos of my first Dewdrop tutu

Hopefully I will get some photos of Larran wearing it, but here are some pictures I took before I posted it.

I bought the embroidered organza at a terrific shop in Las Vegas called Heddy's, ( www.heddysfabrics.com ) it has lots of clear sequins all over it and should sparkle beautifully under stage lights. I added a lot of extra sequins and diamanties as dewdrops are sparkly!

My first ever Dewdrop tutu

I must first explain to any American readers as to why I have never made a Dewdrop before! In Australia "Nutcracker" is just another ballet and is not performed every Christmas by everyone, also the versions I have seen here don't have Dewdrops or Candycanes.

Anyway I have nearly finished my first Dewdrop for Larran in Georgia and will post photos as soon as it is finished. I sent Larran some progress photos and received this email back.

Ms. Dani,

This is Larren. I am absolutely blown away! From what I've seen, the tutu will be GORGEOUS! It is more lovely than I could have imagined. I am in love with the tiara! I can't wait to see it in person. Thanks so much for sending pictures.

Sincerely,
A Very Grateful Dew Drop


I LOVE my job!!!!

On a sad note my footy team didn't win the Grand Final yesterday, but I went to my first ever Grand final and had a great time...GO PIES!
