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

Hope V is feeling better. I'm glad your meeting went well and I'm surprised at how much sewing you are getting in. I was wrong on the sneak peak and didn't even guess Daisy. She looks AMAZING and I love the hearts on the wallet.

I see you will be having an auction war between Nini and Chiara for the GAC holders. :thumbsup2 I think any of the ideas mentioned would be good. Goofy is always a good choice in my opinion and of course, Mickey.

I am getting excited to put my lanyard / wallet to good use during my brother's trip. I can pack light since my kids will not be with me and I figure it will be the perfect place for all the fastpasses I will probably have to run and get!
 
It's been kind of a whirlwind around here the last few days...

First off... I have V home sick today. She started off with a cough and headach on Sunday - I didn't think anything of it, so she went to school yesterday. She is now on the couch, home from school today with a sore throat and fever... I am praying that she doesn't have that dreaded flu that is going around. I plan to call the Dr. right away this morning to see if they are doing anything for it. If that's what she has - I need to brace for the rest of us to get it too. :worried:

I did have a really good day in my sewing room yesterday... I finished my entire auction set. :lovestruc Then I started quilting my next custom order... I couldn't finish all of the quilting, but I don't have much left. I expect to finish it this morning and work on the applique this afternoon.

I had my meeting last night, which went (surprisingly) well, considering the new people... There were a few irritations - but for the most part, I think it will be OK.

I hope you all have a wonderful day, if you could keep V in your prayers, I would appreciate it. :lovestruc

Oh No! I hope V feels better soon!! Jeremy's been sick the last 2 days and I'm keeping him home one more because of him passing out this morning. After going to the DR the diagnosis is low blood sugar and a little dehydrated from not eating or drinking anything last night on top of having a cold. Here's to a restful day tomorrow for him and V so they can go back to school soon!

WOW you got a lot of stuff done on the newest bag!! The Daisy bag is very pretty! I love the colors!!
 
I had another idea on your park bags for this trip...or any trip. How about a Port Orleans set?? You could do the sea serpent pool, the rod iron horse heads, the waterwheel at riverside, one of the mansions, or the creepy parade floats from Sassagoula :) Lots of options for your favorite resort.

Yikes. That is so scary. I hope Jeremy is feeling better soon. Keep an eye on him. This fall my son had to spend two nights in the hospital because he got a stomach bug and was so dehydrated.

Wow!! I could only imagine having to go through that!! We plan on laying low tonight and tomorrow and doing nothing but relaxing and making sure he gets plenty of fluids!!! That's the last thing I need is for him to have to be hospitalized.

D....

I hope V is feeling better. That flu is crazy, hope neither of them have the flu.

And of course, LOVE the daisy bag!!!!!
 
So many choices and great advice. I know Marianne would suggest Raglan Road.

Liz knows me so well :) Yes, I would say Raglan Road . . . I'd do lunch over dinner (which is rare that I like lunch menus better than dinner menus) . . . I know you made your choices already, but if you need a meal while in DTD, we walked up for lunch on a Saturday and didn't have a wait at all :)

So... I am trying to decide what kind of theme I would like to do for our custom bags for this trip...

Personally, I think you should have a Disboutiquer bag . . . Cinderella's mice, of course! :love:
 
Excellent, tell V thanks! I will definitely be on the lookout for that auction.

My Cousin finally told me last night that she "thinks" her favorite of the fab 5 is Donald. And the Lion King is in her top three movies.

Fingers crossed that V just has a cold!

LOL about your cousin... You must tell her that it's imperative she picks. :thumbsup2 There are important issues at hand. ::yes::

I will do a V update below.

I'm not interested in a GAC holder but I will give boy ideas...Buzz, Woody, Stitch, Avengers, Star Wars (since Disney now owns them), Army Men from Toy Story, Sully, Mike Wasowski, Bolt, o.k. that's all I can think of!

Now would you share another picture of the auction for Thursday?!! lol....

Thanks for all the ideas... I need to write them all down. I don't get to do boy stuff very often, so when I do - I am so stumped. This helps a lot!

I did post a few pictures for you - since you asked so nicely. :thumbsup2

Jake and the Neverland Pirates!!

Oooh - good one.

hope V feels better!

daisy UPB is very cute!

THanks, I will do a V update below.

Daisy is so cute!

Thanks!

LOL...Mr D said "Pluto, Cars, and Toy Story!"

He also said Jake was too baby but Pirates of the Caribbean would be perfect! LOL!

(that one should be easy to whip up...right?)


Nini

Perfect! I would be happy to do a Pluto one for you - but you know that your competition wouldn't be Chiara right? Ariana would swoop right in on that one. :stir:

Daisy is so cute...
I don't see an etsy id or anything though. How do we get our hands on these bags? i saw something about an auction? Please pm me with info :)

Thank you - I sent you a PM. :thumbsup2

Such a CUTE Daisy bag! I considered Daisy as one of my choices, but she really isn't my favorite character or anything. I am just clumsy, so when trying to come up with a Disney related user name she is who I came up with. :rotfl2:

*hop over to my ptr when you get a chance...new developments on the trip.

LOL... I love your user name - I always have.

OK - we are going to make this trip work for you all... What about a lemonade stand this summer for the kiddos to earn souvenier $$? My girls always did those during Friday night fish fries at the local bar - and they received lots of pity $$. LOL Also, my girls made bracelets to sell at the garage sale... How about a garage sale??? Lots of work, not worth the $$ imo, but it's $$ anyways. I know you have come up with some great ideas yourself, I am just trying to help out. :wizard:

Daisy is adorable!

I think it's great that you are sharing your talent with your girls. I only wish I had paid attention when my grandmother was alive to learn from her. Now I'm trying to teach myself everything. Your applique stitches ALWAYS amaze me - so straight and beautiful!

Enjoying your PTR!

Thank you. I am totally self taught... I had one lesson when I was about 9 or 10, then I did my 8th grade home-ec class... and I hadn't touched a machine since... My story is here: Learning to sew If you are interested. :thumbsup2

Been reading but not posting-sorry!

Yeah for booking the trip!

I love the Daisy bag!

Hey!!! It's great to see you! Thanks!

Boy ideas

Tigger, Flynn Ryder, Frankenweenie, Wreck It Ralph, The triplets from Brave, Monsters Inc, Buzz,

Oooh - LOVE the WIR idea... and the triplets from brave! Excellent!

Once again a great bag you have made
Boys items could be Buzz, Zurg (from Toy Story) or Monster Inc. That's the boys movies I can think of at the moment.

Thanks Lillian! :thumbsup2

The Daisy bag is beautiful.

There's always Priate Mickey for boys. An I think that Mickey himself or Donald or Pluto or Goofy - with bright, bold, primary colors would be good or a boy.

But all I have is a dog, so I may not be the best to answer that.\

Hope V only has a cold and not something worse!

Thanks Ruth! I agree - the fab 5 can be boy. I will update on V below.

Hope V is feeling better. I'm glad your meeting went well and I'm surprised at how much sewing you are getting in. I was wrong on the sneak peak and didn't even guess Daisy. She looks AMAZING and I love the hearts on the wallet.[/url]

Thanks! I will do a V update below. So, I am curious what your guess for the Daisy bag was????

I see you will be having an auction war between Nini and Chiara for the GAC holders. I think any of the ideas mentioned would be good. Goofy is always a good choice in my opinion and of course, Mickey.

LOL

I am getting excited to put my lanyard / wallet to good use during my brother's trip. I can pack light since my kids will not be with me and I figure it will be the perfect place for all the fastpasses I will probably have to run and get!

I am getting so excited for you!!! I hope you'll give me a photo of the wallet/lanyard set in the parks! I would love to have one for my FB page.

It's going to be a great trip - and I am sorry I don't know much about it. Where are you all staying and what kind of park/food stuff is planned?

The Daisy Bag is just too.... cute!

Thanks Ruth! I hope you are doing well. :lovestruc

Oh No! I hope V feels better soon!! Jeremy's been sick the last 2 days and I'm keeping him home one more because of him passing out this morning.

Oh no, I hope Jeremy is doing OK now... I will do a V update below.

WOW you got a lot of stuff done on the newest bag!! The Daisy bag is very pretty! I love the colors!!

Thanks! Yes, I have been very busy... I have lots I've gotten done, I just wasn't able to post pics... No worries, I will catch up. :thumbsup2

I had another idea on your park bags for this trip...or any trip. How about a Port Orleans set?? You could do the sea serpent pool, the rod iron horse heads, the waterwheel at riverside, one of the mansions, or the creepy parade floats from Sassagoula :) Lots of options for your favorite resort.

Oooh - I admit I had thought of this idea, but I wasn't quite sure how to make it work or what to put on it... But I love your ideas, and I might actually do this - I bet it would be gorgeous! Thanks for elaborating. :lovestruc

Yikes. That is so scary. I hope Jeremy is feeling better soon. Keep an eye on him. This fall my son had to spend two nights in the hospital because he got a stomach bug and was so dehydrated.

Yes, I remember that! I've been pumping fluids into V like crazy... I think she said she had 4 bottles of water yesterday + some juice and some club soda (she is like me, and like the fizzy stuff on her throat when it hurts).

Wow!! I could only imagine having to go through that!! We plan on laying low tonight and tomorrow and doing nothing but relaxing and making sure he gets plenty of fluids!!! That's the last thing I need is for him to have to be hospitalized.

I sure hope he is doing better now.

Hope he feels better.

Personally, I think you should have a Disboutiquer bag . . . Cinderella's mice, of course! :love:

I will see if we are at DTD for a meal... I know the girls loved EoS, and really want to go there again - so it will depend on where we are when we get hungry.

I am not sure I am talented enough to do a Disbou bag... Those little mice are so TINY! :faint:

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

First, V update... She is still not feeling well at all. She has been running a fever off and on for 2 days now. I did call the Dr. yesterday morning to ask what they are doing... They said to stay far away from them, and push the fluids - unless she has an ear ache or sore throat, then they want to see them. I did say that she had a sore throat - so they made an appt for today - if she still has a sore throat, I am to bring her in, if not, I am supposed to cancel. Well, we found out last night that the wee one she was babysitting for this last weekend was diagnosed with Strep on Monday... So, I am keeping the appt - I am quite certain she has Strep. :( I am a bit irritated - even though these kids' parents are good neighbors/friends of ours, the girls always get sick/colds when they go over to babysit - so it's kind of annoying. Oh welll, at least I know to have the Dr. do a strep test... Hopefully she is better after getting some meds, because she is very miserable right now.

Another V update: I posted a picture of the lanyards she has been working so hard to make over the last week on my Facebook fan page... And I told the story about how she is trying to save up $$ to pay for a portion of our CRT meal... She received lots of offers for custom orders, and I think that people really like the idea that I am trying to teach the girls the value of earning their way to something important... Mostly because I am a cheapskate, and I would never spend the $$ to eat there. :faint: So, anyways... I am sure, if V wanted to - she could open up her own little Facebook fan page and create a business for herself - but she is only 13... I am sure that in a few weeks (when she is no longer grounded from the TV/Phone/internet/IPam - making lanyards will be the furthest thing from her mind). But, so you all can see her first lanyards... The Pluto one is already sold... but the rest will go up for auction on Thursday. Here they are:

IMG_9616.jpg


She received LOTS of compliments yesterday - and she wanted me to pass on her Thank Yous. Even though she is very sick right now - and she was less than enthused about all of the fuss - I know that if she was herself, she would be totally elated that so many love her lanyards. :lovestruc

As for me... I finished quilting my next bag. I also got a good start on the main applique... I am working on a small 3D feature, but I am having troubles translating my idea into an actual working item... I spent waaaaay too much time on it yesterday - and I would have been better off just appliqueing it. HOpefully I can make it work today. :rolleyes1 I plan to finish the applique (or almost finish it) this morning before we go to town for the Dr. I am sure I will have to wait around in town for a prescription... Hopefully I will be back with a few hours to work in my sewing room again.

I also have auctions to get written up. :eek:

I plan to upload pictures of my next bag as soon as I am done typing this.

And that's about it for today... Thanks all for the continued prayers and concern for V... Hopefully she is able to get meds today, and will be back to herself shortly. :lovestruc

Have a great day all.

Great lanyards V made. She is really talented in the sewing room. I hope she contiunes to sew so she can enjoy it and make things she wants for herself when she is grownup :goodvibes
 
First off - I have to apologize for the lighting in all of my photos... The light in my sewing room yesterday was incredibly odd, and cast an orange glow to everything... I am quite annoyed by it.

I love how this bag set turned out!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. Tigger is my favorite (and I know Christie's too). So adorable and love the colors.
 
Ok as a TIGGER fan I LOVE the Tigger bag! If I was a bag person I'd totally want one! :)

So...did V get diagnosed with Strep?



Thanks and can't wait to hear more about the trip planning!

A lovely bag. Great colors and once again lovely details. I like how the black line on the wallet illustrates the bouncing :goodvibes
