Done

Helloooo everyone, I'm back again. Been busy with figuring out if I'm graduating and guess what? I am, so I've been running around figuring out what to do with the day of graduation. Yikes! I found my dress for the ceremony and now that my degree is wrapped up I have to figure out what to do with myself. I've been working and will continue to work as well as now do a part time job in my field. The upside to all the tedious little school things being done is that I can now focus a more on my blogging and in general writing. Woot! Woot!

In the previous two Quinceaneras I made the girls a gift.  For Janet I made a life size version of her childhood bunny and for Ariana I made her some blinged out converse. For my niece Lupita I'm going to make her both.  Blinged out converse and a stuffed Pikachu... random but that's her favorite plush animal.  Sooooo I'm going to make one from scratch

I'll be updating my progress over the next few weeks.  The quinceanera is in July so I will be updating as it gets closer to then. :)

Also as a graduation gift my boyfriend got me tickets to see Pierce The Veil! :D I cannot describe how surprised and how excited I am for this. I'll be blogging about that concert soon too when it happens :D.

Update: Up Next in July

Hey everyone that reads this blog, guess what??? There is going to be another Quinceanera coming up soon. I have yet another niece that will be celebrating her 15th birthday with the dancing, the dress, and the people in July. So keep an eye out for that next blog in July about her party.

These are some of the salt shakers decorated as flowers that my sisters-in-law made for Janet and Mimi's Quinceanera. This time around for my niece Lupita they will be making swans. Which I have never seen crochet...but then again my sisters-in-law are really into that.

On our trips to go dress hunting I came across these random statues for Quinceaneras that I found at guess where? A dollar store, which is odd but they're actually a really nice quality of Quinceanera figurines.

Also here are some cute dresses we saw while out and about looking for the dress.

Quinceanera #3

So this is the last quinceanera that my family celebrated right before the end of the new year. This was my niece Ariana's Quinceanera. I had a little bit of an extra touch in this one because I made some sparkly converse for her to wear when she was dancing Buy a cover them with Swarovski crystals which made him really sparkly. I also made little candy bags that were placed at each table. I did have a recording of her surprise dance but unfortunately it got deleted Before I could get my hands on it so I don't have a suprise dance but I do have Some of the dance thing that happened. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the videos. Like always I had my set of questions about the experience for Ariana.
Me: Did your quinceanera turn out as well as you thought it would?
Her: Yes the party turn out as well as I thought.
Me: What was your favorite part about the Quinceanera? What was the most stressful part of it?
Her: My favorite part of the party would have to be the dancing party. The most stressful would have to be the surprise dance
Me: Let's talk about gifts for the best gift you got and the worst gift you got?
 Her: Worst gift would have to be a this purse that wasn't exactly pretty to me. And the best gift would have be this cute karate bear or money I kept finding in the birthday cards :).
Me:What was the most memorable part of your party night?
The most memorable part of the night would be the dancing. I got to dance with my best friends, especially the one that was moving soon. It was great being able to dance with my friends and my family (my cousins, aunts and uncles)
Me: For the church service what was the best and what was the worst?
Her: It was tooo long. LOL like all church stuff the service is long. I also had some trouble reading the rite of passage speech in spanish. My spanish isn't perfect.
Me: What would you have done differently for the church ceremony of your quinceanera?
Her: There's nothing I would've changed for the church ceremony part of my quinceanera.
Me: What would you have done differently about the party?
Her: I wouldn't change anything about the party. It was good just the way it was.
Me: Let's talk about keeping your practice is what did you like and what did you not like? Also what was the hardest part about having a quinceanera?
Her: The practice was fun and I enjoy spending time with my friends and cousins but I didn't like that the boys always went away when practice wasn't even over. The hardest part would be making sure everything was okay and ready about it on the day of the quince.

The venue was gorgeous. It was so neat and elegant, a bit of a way out of town but it was a beautiful spot for a celebration like a wedding or quinceanera.
