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

[tinkbell13]

You should!!! You shold swing by MN on your way through and visit me.

This made me !

I sure hope you can convince DH to take a trip!!! I think you are due. LOL

Well, by DH's thinking, we won't be going until 2016. He thinks 4 years between trips is perfect. I'm thinking I might present it as a do-over since our trip last year with BIL/SIL was less than great for us.

Awesome!!! I hope you'll come back and post pictures for me to see - I woudl LOVE to see it!

Will do. I love the colours in it and hope they will love it too. I really want to put her name on it too. I was thinking of putting it on felt and hand sewing it on after it is washed. Might have to think about that more.

Have a great day!

I just love, love, love this bag set... The Raspberry/pink dot fabric was a last minute change - and it just turned out so cute!

This bag is for someone very special to our family. We met this fellow Diser last year when we were in WDW (some of you may remember Liddy?)... My girls became great friends with her kids, and they all still talk about eachother often. So, this bag was just really special for me to make. I hope she loves it!

The interior fabric was something that a friend of mine offered to sell me, it is a SUPER DUPER RARE and Out Of Print fabric... When she offered to sell this fabric to me - I knew exactly which bag it was going for, and it's perfect. I don't have any really fantastic pictures of it - but it's Marie themed fabric - and it's perfect for this bag.

The Marie bag.

Sorry I haven't been around much the last two weeks. I'm just super busy at work right now and probably will be through the end of this month.

I love your Marie bag
The Mike nail V made is really cool

Oh my gosh, that Marie bag is just perfect!! I love everything about it! What is that applique on the wallet?

First of all I want to thank all of you for your love and prayers! It just means so much to me that so many people care! I am home but still have no answer for why I fell. The doctors say there is a disconnect somewhere between my brain and heart but they don't know where? I still have to have a few more tests and results before I can return to work. The neurologist is talking about adding more medications. That always scares me because it seems I always have trouble when they change meds. I'm hoping to get tests scheduled for next week. Now I have laryngitis and am just hoping to get a voice back soon!

The Marie bag is just beautiful! I love the pink dots and Marie is just too cute.

Allie is doing great! What progress she's already made! Love Victorias nails and your story about MM is just too cute!

I hope everyone has a great day! Although I don't post often, I read this thread each day to see how everyone is doing! Ruth

Duh, I see it now I kept trying to make it a mickey. I would feel very lucky to have have that set!

That is an adorable set...and the interior fabric really completes it.

Cheering for Ali to make her goals for her letter and to save her shins with some well earned resting this weekend.

I am so glad it's Friday. I have such a flexible schedule that Fridays are generally just another day. Not this week: we had a point of sale/reservations system upgrade and my department had our hands tied for a full day - it went down at about 3pm Tuesday and wasn't fully functional until about 3pm Wednesday. I'm usually pretty level headed and things don't effect me much but being without the most important program for my job had me a little crazy by the end of the day. I've had alcohol twice this week - usually it's more like once a month. Thank heaven for hard cider.

Praying more than ever for you now, Ruth. Heart/brain disconnect does not sound good.

I have officially decided we are going in January. And to help me with all my excitement I have started my first ever PTR! Of course no one is following yet But I'm sure over time. I will needs tons of help planning.

Also, seeing all your sewing and planning. I'm getting inspired to try and make my daughter some pillow case dresses!

We are hoping to go in January too! I will go follow your trip report, because Lord knows I'd just create one and never actually write it!

 

[lovingeire]

Oh my goodness, could the Marie bag be any cuter? The appliqué is perfect and the interior fabric is to die for! Love it!

V's nails are adorable! Would she like to do mine before my trip? I could never do that myself!

I finally got all my coupons organized in my binder so I can utilize the way I'm supposed to! As a result, I've done great at staying on budget this pay period! It's so nice saving my family money again! Hopefully there will be a little left over in the grocery budget for the Disney fund! Thanks for inspiring me to get back on track!

Speaking of on tack, I must get back to work! Gotta earn some money for Disney! I'm toying with adding a day at the beginning of our trip so every penny counts!

Bag #2 for Liddy??? NO FAIR! It is so cute, though!!! Love the colors and the interior fabric...another wonderful creation!

 

[Luvchefmic]

Glad to see Ruth post..continued prayers and best wishes for no issues with health and employment

Enjoyed seeing the pictures of Alli (you go girl !! just take care of those shins) and V's Mike nail very cute


Now I have to say the Marie bag is one of my favorites, loved the Paris lining how appropriate great job


Little bitty update on me: will be starting physical therapy 3x s a week and hope it will be next week or the week after because I really can't be patient with this old body much longer I want ME back I know it will take months but the sooner I start the better

I love love love the Marie bag. It rocks. Great colors.

 

[WDWCP96]

I love the Marie bag! The fabric is fabulous!

 

[Deesknee]

Love the Marie bag. My eldest DD met Marie a couple of years ago in Epcot. A dream come true for her. She has always loved Marie, although ironically not a fan of the movie. I can't wait for her to get home from work so I can show her this bag!

Glad you got to spend your Friday with your BFF even if couponing wasn't in the deck. I can relate a high school friend & I reunited after years of loosing touch so we have been getting together every Friday ourselves to make sure we don't loose touch again.

That's great Alli is doing so well already.

V's nails look awesome. If it's okay we might need to borrow that theme. Is she a huge Monsters Inc. fan. Or was it more of a whim?

Prayers for Ruth's medication issue to be okay & a quick resolution to her health & employment issues.
And prayers for Ruthie that her PT goes well.

Have a great weekend D~

I hope you get the result you expect from the Physical Therapy. Good Luck

I hope you get the result you expect from the Physical Therapy. Good Luck

Thank you ( and DeesKnees) I am being cautiously optimistic that I am going to be able to do everything I did before (from lifting 50 lb bags of horse feed and dog food to tossing bales of hay again )

Dr seems to think (even though I'm an old broad ) since I was in pretty good shape before this and the bone is healing nicely after only a little over 2 months that I may just get there again

Thank you all everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and especially to you D and Marianne for getting me the helpful angels that come every week and have committed to do so for as long as needed

Love the newest bag. It is totally awesome! The 3-d bows really add some extra zing to it too.

 

[ladylyons]

That Marie bag is adorable!! Love the fabric you were able to get for the inside of it!

Hope Alli starts to feel better with her shin splints.

Glad you were still able to go visit with your BFF even if it didn't include your shopping. Have a great weekend!
