Finally getting my ghillies

So the shoemaker is willing to make my first pair of ghillies.  I am very excited!! I took him two pairs, one more complex and one simple. He decided to go for the complex one! Of course that will be more pricey and since he has to do the pattern and all that it got MORE pricier (well then if my friends want to make theirs it will actually be cheaper since he already has the pattern). So we are talking about $80. Oh yeah. That's a lot for me at least. Good thing I saved the money from my birthday and mother's day (in latinamerica) is coming soon!!!


I will take dozen of pictures as soon I have them haha

getting my first pair of ghillies?

Well yeah. After one year (and maybe a bit more) of using those modified ballet shoes I might soon have my own pair of normal ghillies xD. I actually found a shoe-maker who is speciallized in dancing shoes in my town. It's funny because this place is small but if you want it you get it ;-). The thing is that ID is so unpopular here that she never saw a pair of them lol. BUT my lovely teacher has two pairs and we arranged with the shoe maker she will copy one of them. This week I will get the pricing and the estimated time for the shoemaker to actually "make" this shoes. I can't wait!
I want themmmm!!!

So... I guess I'm back to dancing :-)

I had my first class in 3 months yesterday. We just did one hour though (it's two hours) and just some slip jigs. But it's a great feeling to come back!!! I love it :-)

my dress is in stand-by (new proyect ideas o.O)

I got on weight this last months (I'm pregnant) and my dress (which I had to do some retouches and alterations) doesn't fit me anymore. So I think I will leave it for a while. I am thinking of other designs for dresses though XD. I want to improve with my dress making and maybe someday do one or two dresses for selling for people in south america. I wanna get a gooood pattern though, but in the area where I live it's so hard to receive packages and mail deliveries. You know any online pattern good for irish dancing dresses I can download? I used a burdastyle last time and It did work, but I had to modify it a lot for it to look like I wanted. And seriously I would rather something easier.
