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

Hey all - more sewing room pictures...

OK - so here's the girls' silhouettes from 2008 with the bonus silhouette of Rufus in the center.

Then here's the picture that Josh gave me last year for Christmas... It's really hard to tell - but there are streaks of the same aqua color of my walls in it - and it actually makes Donald stick out really nicely. I love it here!

Then, that corner of my sewing room:

I love that it's finally starting to come together! And I love that it's getting to where everything has a place, it makes me WANT to go up there every day.

I am totally in love with your space. I am trying to reorganize mine slowly. Love all the personal touches.
 
Just joining in a little late. The bags are so adorable!!! Your sewing room is coming along well. Wish I had some sewing skills.
 

I would love to have such a cute sewing room! I'm happy I got to make a small contribution to your shelf :goodvibes

The thread looks so pretty on display! Love the colors!
 
Great pics of the meet! Looks like you all had a blast. Glad you got to go see Rachel and have a your own private concern afterwards!

Have you ever tried water with limes or sweet tea with lime? I'm hooked on limes now!
 
Oh what a fun dismeet! Your sewing room looks amazing! Their is a tutorial on gymbofriends for the shorts. These are what they look like though. EE would live in them if I let her. They are crazy expensive through MJ and some other clothing boutiques that make them. This was the cheapo version where you whack off the legs cut them into strips and put those on elastic to "ruffle" them and then attach them to the shorts.

What a beautiful space to work in!!!! :cloud9:

THank you Oopsi! I love it!

Thank you Chiara! I love spending time up there now... it really helps that everything is organized rather than piles all over, like it was.

Welcome!!! And thank you! :flower3: It's never too late to learn to sew - I've only been sewing for less than 2 years. :thumbsup2 It just takes a bit of time and patience.

Thanks Stephanie! Yes, you did contribute to my shelf! I will use it one day for it's intended purpose... Gotta wait for the girls to finish eating the Pez. :smokin:

Yes - we had a fantastic time!!! I wish we could all do it again!

I have tried with lime... It's good - but I do prefer lemons. I don't think our sweet tea is the same up here as it is down south - it was part of my mission to try it while in Charlotte, and it just never happened.

Thanks!! Those shorts are adorable!!! I wish V would wear something like that - but it's a bit young for her. :rolleyes:

I finished my bag yesterday... I was up there ALL day, but it was a good day and I felt like I made a lot of progress. I have the wallet quilted, I just need to applique it and assemble it. I will be done by Friday afternoon. Which leaves me the weekend for a special project. :cheer2:

I talked to the girls, and we have decided not to do an ADR for our last morning at Disney. Just like I thought, we will sleep in a little, pack up our room, check out right at 11, store our bags, have some lunch and enjoy the resort for a little while, change into our travel clothes (ahem- pajamas), then wait for ME. IF we have time - we might decide to have lunch at Riverside? :scratchin

Also, if Josh is in a good mood tonight, the girls and I decided that we would get serious about asking his permission for this trip. I now have enough $$ saved for our deposit, we have major fingers crossed for FD. Once we get official permission, I can start doing all of our planning spreadsheets, and working on our Mini-Planner. :thumbsup2

I have to work at Target today... So, no sewing room. :sad2:

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

OOps... This post was supposed to go in a different thread...

love how your room is looking! all the cute little touches!

hope you can get the go ahead about the trip!
 
I am really behind so let's see what I can remember....

-love the Sorcerer Mickey bag and wallet

-great update from Charlotte

-very jealous of your sewing room, it looks so nice. I am still trying to figure out if it is best for me to have it in our dining room or down in the basement.

-Good luck talking to Josh tonight!

-oh love all the updates on your ADR's. I am thinking for our June/July trip we might try WCC.
 
I love your counters and have a question: do you have a specific place for cutting your pieces out or do you just use a section of the counter?

I so wish I had the time and energy and to get it more organized. I'm working on it SLllllooooowwwwwwly: I just got all my thrift store t-shirts organized and binned up so they can stay fresh before I use them.

My screen name is sewmess for a reason. I get messy when I sew and mysewing room is a HUGE MESS.

PS - Good luck with The Talking tonight. You have a good leg to stand on with the deposit all sewn up (pun intended)
 
Good luck talking to Josh tonight! I hope things go smoothly! Your sewing room is looking terrific! It is very put together looking.

Andrea was on the Disboutiquers thread this morning so I know she's around and ok.
 
I hope Josh is in a good mood tonight so you and the girls can chat him up. Just make sure he knows that going to Disney does not equal getting a new puppy while you are away.

Good luck
 
Love the sewing room! Everything looks great!!

Good luck tonight!
