Nini sorry you don't have a Travel Agent you like. That makes it difficult.
A little of Disney drama...I decided I do not like the TA we are stuck with. I really want to go back to my old one...but she won't take another agent's trip (some people do have morals!!) So, I decided to go straight to Disney and see what I could do. The only way Disney can take it back is if the TA will send me the right form so I can delete her. How much you want to bet she is going to drag her feet on it!?!?
So hoping for free dining in November so I don't have to deal with this!
That is enough complaining! Only happy thoughts!

To show you how easy the Embird is to use...on my Animal Kingdom shirt. I used the tree of life from one designer and then took another designers wording and added them together. Took all of 5 minutes. Would have been a lot less, but I was trying to do it on a tiny netbook. my screen wasn't big enough to see what I was doing. Today I needed to change the way the wording on something I was doing for a customer and it took just a couple of seconds (literally) to change the font around so that it looked more like what was in my mind's eye! I love that software...almost (but not quite) enough to learn how to digitize...
Thanks Cheryl... the quilt was actually started with one of those fat quarter packs from WalMart... and then I added a few to it. The pack only had 7 FQs and I needed 9. The first extras I bought didn't work right after I got home...they were more purple. So I ended up getting way too much fabric! (so what is new with that!)
You could not pay me enough to put a binding on a quilt by HAND! Binding is my least favorite part of the whole process. I would only use a machine.... I used to use my quilter, but when you do that you can only put the binding on one way...and I like to sew the top on last. That way it hides more mistakes!

Hope it's ok, I'm coming over from Lora's PTR. It's nice to find other moms homeschooling with special needs.
Sorry to read about the accident. So tragic for you all.
I can relate to life changing in an instant. One day I had a healthy, happy little soccer player. And on June 21, 2010 (Father's Day) our lives changed when I walked by my son's bed and saw him for the first time having a seizure. Before I knew it he stopped breathing and dh was performing CPR on him, while I was on the phone with 911. That seizure changed his personality and everything, and was the trigger for all his sensory issues.
I need to go back and read your PTR. You all who sew amaze me. I have enough trouble sewing on a button.

Love all of it Nini! You are so awesome! Want to adopt a few more grandkids and maybe a daughter to sew for![]()

I hope you are able to get your TA switched...

If your TA is with a company (ie AAA, or similar), have a manager get you the form if she does not get it to you in a timely manner. If this is not a feasible option (independent TA within a company or similar), then call Disney back and explain that you need to know where you can get a form since your TA is being uncooperative. I can not confirm that accuracy, but I've had someone (I think it was my last TA -- we used to chat a lot) tell me that you can bypass the TA and take over your reservation. Odds are, it's a general form that can be downloaded (or sent by Disney) that you can fill out and submit. I've heard of people who book and NEVER hear back from their TAs and are able to take back control, so I'm almost certain that if she doesn't respond in a timely manner, you can take matters into your own hands.
If you call back and the CM won't or can't assist, ask to speak to a supervisor (be persistent). G'luck in taking control of your reservation!!!
And very sorry to hear you aren't liking your TA. I didn't like my first TA. I vowed to never use AAA again afterwards, but went back and got a NEW TA and fell in love with her.![]()
Embird (Embrid? I can never remember) sounds promising.
I'm with you about hand sewing the binding. Last year they taught me to do "pillowcase(?)" quilts and that's what my next ones will be. As I've been sewing it has occured to me that these quilts need to be sturdier than display quilts, but I don't know if that's what Mother Superior (I guess it's not very nice to call her that) thinks. I think she wants quilt show perfection on all of them.
Boo about not liking your travel agent. Hope it all works out.

There goes D trying to up her post count!![]()
I have to say I have pretty good timing! I JUST finished putting the label on the quilt and then using the scraps to make a gift bag.... and I check in on FB to see what is going on in the world... my niece is at the hospital in labor. I think I would call that getting finished in the nick of time! I think I might go visit in the hospital this afternoon and take her gift to her personally.
Might have to make a Big Sister shirt for bis sis Kaelyn as well... I love new babies!
Nini
Yeah for a new baby.
That stinks about the TA. I am such a control freak that the only time we ever used a TA was on our Honeymoon in 1996. It was when the Disney store actually had a section to book vacations with a TA.
I really need to start going on my outfits since we are going at the end of June but it is so hard to predict what size DD will be in Tshirt size since she said no dresses unless its the CrissCross pattern.
I am going in April and have yet to start anything![]()
You are worst off than me. I can't seem to get motivated but I have all these ideas forming in my head
