~ Aug 2013~ Sew what... We've gotta find a way back! Part I!!

Ruthie - I'm glad Maxine is OK and I hope your foot and sting are better.

D~ Great progress on your auction bag. Hope you can find the time to finish the bag you were going to make for you if you end up not using it. I'm sure someone would love to be able to buy it in an auction and I would hate for one of your ideas to be left incomplete on the sewing table. Good luck with getting all your shopping stuff figured out and I hope that paper arrives this Sunday!!!

I assume Illuminations is at 10:00 when you are there? If so then 7:30 will probably be too early.

This FD announcement has me wondering....I was hoping for some kind of discount for October but I have a feeling it will not happen. Might have to talk myself into a season pass so I can get a room discount. :rolleyes1

Don't even bother if that's why you would be getting one! I ended up getting a better rate for this coming weekend on Travelocity than the FL resident rates or the passholder rates. The discounts just aren't there anymore like they used to be!!
 
D, you have a very busy day. Hope it is productive for you, and that the weather is getting better (we have one more day of 50's and then we are finally supposed to hit the 60's and 70's).
 
your on the Sept facebook page right?!?!?

Yes, I am on the September facebook page!

This is good to know... Our reservation is at 7:30, so I am worried that this may be a bit too early? Typically - we usually spend a little over an hour eating at sit down restaurants.

Do you think that 7:30 is a good time?D~

I believe that Illuminations starts about 9:00 while we are there. I tried to get a later ADR time, but the latest available was 8:00 so I didn't see any point in changing it. I'm hoping we will still be eating when the show starts.

I am glad that you were able to switch to POFQ! That is probably my favorite resorts, but then I've only ever stayed there or at one of the All-Stars. DH wanted to try something different this year, so we are staying at CBR. With free dining we may upgrade to a preferred room.
 

You are one BUSY lady! I know I could never keep up your schedule!

I'm so glad you're going back to POFQ! We really loved it there and will definitely return there on our next trip! October 2014 seems so far away for us!

I can't wait to see your auction items! They are always beautiful!

I am back at work! Two 12 hour days in a row about did me in ,but after a good nights sleep ,I feel almost ready to take on life again. Everyone have a great day! Ruth

I TOLD you you would be exhausted, it will pass so glad to see you here Maxine is still limping (its only been a few days) & I had an ortho appt this am that ACTUALLY listened to me (NO God complex so rare these days) and so I will begin P/T for the leg on Tues :yay: Foot is great looks horrible but gritted my teeth & am walking on it, bee sting fine just itchy, and for those of you who laughed about this comedy of errors that I call my life :rotfl2: I am RIGHT there with you ! Its so ludicrous you can't make this stuff up !

To all who are ailing or on the mend Blessings and prayers to you all
:love2:

RuthIE
 
Just to make it three in a row...

Sorry Maxine is still limping.

Here's to a great day having been had today, a good shopping day tomorrow and sanity restored for the weekend. - although, that's probably just me.

Not only are we busy, but 1/2 of my department is having some sort of crisis so I'm doing things that I don't usually do. I'm exhausted and yet, I will still pick up some hard cider for tonight. It's been that kind of a day.

Ah- one more thing. Those FD dates in September are why I've celebrated at least 4 birthdays at WDW. My birthday is Sept 26 & we time our visits to FD, so my birthday is always at Disney! Except this year. :worried:

Here's to a good weekend all around!! May we all heal, sew, spend time with the family, work (me again) and generally enjoy what we have. - Ruth
 
they are weird dates... and you wonder why i always go in Sept!!!
I do hope they open it for you.

Yes, I think they are very weird dates and very short dates... I always remember FD being a bit longer than that?



He is amazing!!! one problem with this is it gets the people there during MY vacation which makes it more crowded...

True... You should have been there last spring break... Not only was it spring break, but FD too... :eek:



and you talk about me being busy!!!

I just sound busy... LOL

you will be very busy the end of May... ya know in 35 days??? the most epic Dis Meet EVER without being in Disney

Yay!

well you have given me incentive. off to do some editing and shopping.. I have to run to Target at lunch!

Cool - what did ya get?

Ruthie - I'm glad Maxine is OK and I hope your foot and sting are better.

Me too!

Thanks Liz... I hope to get some more progress done this afternoon and tomorrow.

I assume Illuminations is at 10:00 when you are there? If so then 7:30 will probably be too early.

They are actually at 9pm. Do you still think that's too early.

This FD announcement has me wondering....I was hoping for some kind of discount for October but I have a feeling it will not happen. Might have to talk myself into a season pass so I can get a room discount.

Hmmm... That is interesting... I hope you can plan a trip!

Don't even bother if that's why you would be getting one! I ended up getting a better rate for this coming weekend on Travelocity than the FL resident rates or the passholder rates. The discounts just aren't there anymore like they used to be!!

I've never even thought about booking a Disney trip on Travelocity.

D, you have a very busy day. Hope it is productive for you, and that the weather is getting better (we have one more day of 50's and then we are finally supposed to hit the 60's and 70's).

Thanks Kathy... The weather is getting better here too. Thankfully - we are supposed to be in the 70s this weekend. I'd love to get my car cleaned out - I usually don't clean it all winter long, and it's pretty messy and dusty come spring. LOL

Yes, I am on the September facebook page!

I think your 8pm time is a bit better than my 7:30 time slot. I may try to get something later.

Thanks!!! The girls and I are still so thrilled about it. Oooh - I am so happy you will qualify for FD.

You are one BUSY lady! I know I could never keep up your schedule!

I am really not that busy... I just have a lot to do. LOL Although - these next few weeks are going to be murder on me.

I'm so glad you're going back to POFQ! We really loved it there and will definitely return there on our next trip! October 2014 seems so far away for us!

I agree - it is such a unique resort and so relaxing. I love that!

I can't wait to see your auction items! They are always beautiful!

Thanks Ruth!

Oh wow... I hope it's not too much for you. Please keep us updated... You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Ruthie... I really enjoyed chatting with you yesterday... Your accent is starting to get easier for me to understand. :thumbsup2

Just to make it three in a row...

Yay!!! All three of my Ruths showed up in a row yesterday (except one of them has be be different and call herself RuthIE).

Sorry Maxine is still limping.

I hope she is better soon too.

Here's to a great day having been had today, a good shopping day tomorrow and sanity restored for the weekend. - although, that's probably just me.

I couldn't have said this better myself.

Not only are we busy, but 1/2 of my department is having some sort of crisis so I'm doing things that I don't usually do. I'm exhausted and yet, I will still pick up some hard cider for tonight. It's been that kind of a day.

I hope you had a great night with your Cider and it relaxed you a little bit. :woohoo:

Ah- one more thing. Those FD dates in September are why I've celebrated at least 4 birthdays at WDW. My birthday is Sept 26 & we time our visits to FD, so my birthday is always at Disney! Except this year.

Hopefully they offer FD for you next year.

Here's to a good weekend all around!! May we all heal, sew, spend time with the family, work (me again) and generally enjoy what we have. - Ruth

Thanks Ruth - again - I couldn't have said it better myself.

**********************************************************

Just a SUPER Quick fly by this morning...

Yesterday, lunch with Josh's brother's Wife's mom was wonderful... It was so nice to be able to talk to her about them and how the little one (who hasn't arrived yet) is doing... Their lives just sound so wonderful and uncomplicated... I almost had tears in my eyes hearing about how happy they are and all the dreams they are just on the verge of discovering. Such an amazing time in their lives. I was able to give her the quilt and the little outfits for the little guy... It was sad to see them go... I pray that the next time I see that quilt - It's ratty and worn with love... Then he truly will have lots of hugs from MN. Sniff, sniff.

I finished up that bag yesterday, and I was able to applique the wallet. I hope to get it put together this afternoon and post some pictures for you all. This bag was pretty intense with a lot of applique work - I am very excited that it's turned out as good as I hoped and that I am almost done with it. I will then move on to my next auction bag... Pretty excited about this one... I think it's a theme that most will love.

Must get going here... It's Friday - so grocery shopping day. My list this week sucks and I just know it's not going to be a great trip. I did not have the time to do any menu planning at all. And I barely had the time to sort my coupons and put them in the binder. I have a very minimal list. Maybe I can save most of our budget for next week - unless I find some great deals today.

I hope each of you has a wonderful day today and :grouphug: to all!!!

D~

Yes it is!

True... You should have been there last spring break... Not only was it spring break, but FD too... :eek:

I think i'd run away SCREAMING!!!!

Cool - what did ya get?

Nada I left work early to go picture crazy!!!

They are actually at 9pm. Do you still think that's too early.

What time is the 3:00 parade?!?! :confused3

I don't believe it until i see it!!!!

i have been reading your Trip reports for a long time and stalking you on facebook too. I hae yet to see one person say anything BAD about your bags..
Every time you post a bag it gets harder and harder to come up with synonyms for amazing. :love:

HAPPY FRIDAY!!! FRIDAY DANCE!!!! :dance3:
Good luck on shopping!!! you know you will do a great job!!!
 
I'm glad you had a nice lunch yesterday with Josh's brother's Wife's mom :)
I hope your shopping goes better than you expect. Have a great weekend :hug:
 
24 hour day at MK confirmed on the official disney parks blog I may have to find a way to hobble over there Dang I missed this in Feb and its a week after Fred comes home :sad:
 
Glad lunch went well.

Happy shopping day, and have a wonderful weekend. Come on Spring!
 
I've been working on this bag for a couple months now - on and off. This was a waiting list bag - but it was so detailed, there was just no way for me to finish everything in one week, so I've been doing a little bit here and there, and finally finished it up this afternoon. :) I am in love with how it turned out! I especially LOVE the back applique!

I love the color of the bag. The bucket at the zipper is great. The applique is AMAZING. It's a shame that not many people will see it :(
 
D - The Sorcerer Mickey bag is awesome! I love it! You did a fabulous job as always! And the little bucket zipper pull is such a great added detail!

24 hour day at MK confirmed on the official disney parks blog I may have to find a way to hobble over there Dang I missed this in Feb and its a week after Fred comes home :sad:

I'm going to be there! I'm not sure how long I can hang, probably not all 24 hours, as I'll be there for work and have an early morning meeting, but I'm going to try my best!
 
That. Is. AWESOME!!

I love the bucket! And the base fabric. And the back applique.

WOW!

And yes, my evening was quite relaxing. So relaxing that I kinda drifted in and out when DH was talking to me. :rolleyes1 But before the cider kicked in I actually got some work done in the sewing room and have a reversible dress prototype for my classic Sasha doll. Although she's probably classified as "vintage" these days: I got her for Christmas 1980 or '81.

Here's hoping you got some great deals.
 
This is so awesome Sandra - what an amazing accomplishment for all of your hard work!

Thank you! It does make one feel good.


Yes, the Depot Manager personally drove it down to my house and hand delivered it... I felt a little badly - but after 4 weeks of this, well - maybe the drive would make it more important to them? But I do have my paper, and only 2 days to plan my grocery shopping trip... I have a feeling this one will not be that good. :(

You've had to deal with for way to long. I'm glad they finally got it to you. Hopefully they fix what ever the problem is. Good luck with the shopping!

I'd gladly take some of your heat - our furnace is running as I type.

Of course now our weather has cooled off a little bit and I'm happy with it!! I love our warm days! I just hate getting the electric bill!!!

Glad you were able to get a lot done over the last couple days!

I'm completely in love with the newest Mickey bag!! Everything goes together so well!!!
