Oh, why didn't you say so sooner. THAT sewer. Sure everything's clear now.
Yah, I figured you would know who she was once I explained it to you.

My nephew fell in a pool and drowned in 2000 but suffered a TBI from it. His body finally gave out yesterday but it wasn't expected.
I am waiting to find out the funeral arrangements for him.
Chiara, I'm so very very sorry. That is just heartbreaking.
Yes, what Jessica said. I've known way too many kids who have drowned. It's just so sad. Watch those babies. (which is the last thing my Grandpa ever said to me. He was telling me that, because we had just found out my cousin's baby had drowned in their own pool.)
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome back! I am still not quite 100% yet but I am thankful for being able to take time off work to recover and go on the trip. We had to take things more slowly this trip but both of us still had a good time. I go back to work next week so I am sure it will be a challenging week!
I went through the pictures on our camera from this trip and I realized I didn't have pictures of all the outfits I made! I tend to make things in duplicates and embellish them in different ways. I hope these pictures will inspire someone for more "grown up" customs.
First up, blouse with Heather's Mickey silhouette embroidery (though you can't see the embroidery in the picture) and a pair of skorts with animal print for one of our Animal Kingdom days.
The next picture shows the embroidery on the blouse. I paired it with a pair of black skorts. I couldn't decide what embellishment to put on the skorts so I left them blank. I can always add something later.
I also made a few blouses in different colours with Heather's Tink silhouette or Mickey silhouette embroidery. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of them.
Next up is a Meghan peasant dress with Mickey head flowers along the hem. I designed the flowers (they still need more work since they stitch out in a slightly funny way).
Since I liked the Meghan peasant dress, I decided to try it out as a top. I used the same Mickey head flower embroidery for this top. I paired it with the "When you wish upon a star" music skirt. I had the lei because we had dinner at Ohana.
I also made one with Heather's Tink silhouette embroidery and one in a lighter pink with Heather's Mickey silhouette embroidery.
Finally, my favourite outfit the Minnie-inspired Jamie dress! This is one of my favourite pictures from this trip.
Last but not least, a picture of DH and I with our matching mouse ears:
(Just in case you are wondering why my hairstyle look slightly different in the pictures, I got a hair cut at MK in the middle of the trip. I am donating my hair to one of the places in town that makes wigs for kids undergoing cancer treatments, so I had to cut 12 inches off!)
Thanks for looking!
Edit: Sorry the pictures are huge. I guess I must have forgotten how to resize properly in Photobucket?!
Please please please, post the pictures bigger! I would love to be able to see them better!!!
I agree with the other poster (Andrea?) you don't look like I imagined you to at all!!!! You are so cute!
I have some of Dainty Designs patterns (actually, I have all of the ones you listed) , and I am really not very happy with them. I would stick with Carla's! Dainty Designs is not Carla.QUESTION:
I want to buy some patterns before that 20% at YCMT goes away . . . but I need some opinions please!!!
I'm considering the Dainty Designs Bundle Pack of the
Peasant Top
Corset with Shirred Back
Layered Tulle Twirl Skirt
How does this peasant top pattern compare with the Portrait Peasant top? I know they're both Carla C. right? So what's the difference?
And are the corset & skirt patterns worth it? Or should I be able to figure these out for myself?
I'd been planning on buying the Portrait Peasant (and using it for pirate style shirts for the boys as my justification for buying a little girls' dress pattern), but if the other is pretty much the same AND I'd get those other two (but are they all worth $31 - the 20%???) . . .
Also in my cart are the Simply Sweet, the Easy Fits for Teens & Adults, the Jamie Dress and the Marlo Top
I CANNOT spend $65 on patterns right now . . . I'd been planning on $25 . . .
So - what should I get? What would you get? HELP!!! That coupon code goes away on the 7th!!!! Thanks in advance for your help and opinion!!!!
Wow!!!! I love this!!!! How adorable is that!
update on Brendi...
back from doctors,ultrasound showed no change in cyst /endometriosis ,will schedule surgery for that in the near future. hgc levels down to less than 400 so her body is taking care of it itself...so sad no sweet lil baby at this time. doctor said to wait till after surgery to try again because it could be the same thing again. he said he thought the endometriosis had stopped the baby from moving into the uterus. i am so sad for my baby and her baby but so blessed that she is not in danger and her body is taking care of things and she will not have to have the pregnancy removed.
she goes back to the doctor for another check next week and then will be able to return to work when the pain goes away...doctor says that the pain is from the /baby/endometriosis/cyst all together.
Brendi putting on a strong front but i know when she is alone with David she will let it all out....thank you for your prayers for my sweet girl and her Husband...

Beth, I'm so sorry.
Well I know why I couldn't sleep because I think I was so worried about DS going to Kindergarten. He shocked me by being so excited this morning and happily waved on the bus. Well I went to the school to see him get off and my DD comes up to me and says Jacob has been crying the whole time on the bus
I knew his excitment was too good to be true but he did put on a brave face and followed his teacher. When he got home he told me he was better. So we will have to wait to see how it goes tomorrow.
Sending more prayers.
Awww, poor little guy!!!!
