The Fear

Err ..

Christmas has come and gone and was really lovely. Now we are at that period in between Christmas and New Year and I have one, uno, une, en child signed up... who happens to be a friend of mine's daughter. (All hail the fact my friends are having children... more girls please vicar!!)

What if nobody signs up......?
Crikey......

Oh the joys of the roller coaster that is starting a new business!

With thanks for the creative genius that is Sean Ebsworth Barnes

Big thank you to Sean Ebsworth Barnes for his wonderful design work on these flyers. He also created the wonderful website. Went to Primary School with Sean way back when in Beaconsfield, Bucks. Then many years later our paths crossed again through a charity pantomime... Now he is a close friend and I am very grateful for the support, enthusiasm and talent he has bestowed upon Butterfly Ballet!

Photo shoot

So had the photo shoot yesterday.
Talk about a draining experience!!
Not for any other reason than I am a complete perfectionist and as soon as it was all over I was thinking of all the shots I should have taken and beating myself up for not having done them.

However after an initial doubt I am very happy with the results. The children I used all performed perfectly and a big thanks to the Mums and the girls for being so great. In particular a big shout out to my friend's little girl Charis (only 2!!) and Mira who both stayed to the end and were high spirited and eager throughout.

Here is a snapshot of some of the photos taken so patiently by my friend Sean Ebsworth Barnes.

In the beginning

Not sure how Butterfly Ballet was born... A moment of enlightenment on a flight to Ireland!
But here it is, very young, very nervous, lets see how she flies!!!

Logistically it looks like the Girl Guide Hall in Barnes is the goer, happy with that as it was my original choice.
One story has been written and is being mused over and the marketing is in the very creative hands of Sean Ebsworth Barnes. Would really like to get the postcards done before we hit the distraction of Christmas, so lets see how we go with that! Photo shoot this weekend for the postcard ~ feels all oh so grown up!
