The football outfit looks great! I love the jumbo rickrack on it. Can't wait to see more pictures.

We've been to Florida lots of times in December. Sometimes it is warm and beautiful. Sometimes it is winter coat and mitten weather. It is very hard to pack for that time of year! Last year we ended up buying sweatshirts because we had very light clothes and very warm coats but nothing in between. It seems like I can't win when trying to pack for Florida weather!

Okay here are a couple pictures.

this is the shirt I did for Miss C. We are re-using these hand painted capris I bought on Ebay last year.

and here is the Halloween Outfit. I bought the hat and orange wings for $4 in the dollar store. She is going to be a Fairy Witch LOL.

I have 2 other outfits but they are for a give so I will post after the family receives them.

Both outfits turned out great! The Mickey Santa matches the capris so well! The fairy witch costume is adorable!

okay here is a little sneak peak of the fabric I will be using for the Christmas Skirt.

today I need to make a shirt for the girl child. She has to dress up as a literary character on Thursday. So she is reading some series about a girl with a vampire twin and she is being the non-vampire who loves pink. So we are re-using the pirate skirt and I am putting HeatherSue's Skull with bow on the Hot Pink T-shirt.

Super cute! It is going to be adorable! I can't wait to see.

Would you believe that I actually have some of that Mickey fabric in my stash?

so one of the reasons we love Disney is because my son gets such a kick out of it. My son besides being on the autism spectrum has verbal apraxia which means speaking is very difficult for him, he knows what he wants to say but has trouble getting it out.

This picture is from his first trip in 2008 and he was about 8 months old.

and here is a picture from November 2009 about 3 months after J was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, we were still in denial at this point.

It is funny posting these pictures I realize I run to Disney to heal from lifes tragedies. My daughters first trip was in December 2003 (I will try to find pictures) it was 2 weeks after my first miscarriage, my dad gave us the trip to get away and I planned the trip in 7 days. It was what we needed. Also that trip was the beginning of the end with us trying to go ever year (the only years we didn't get there were 2004 and 2007) and in 2009 we started going at least twice per year/

Well I am going to try and go back to sleep for a bit.

Oh I have the literary character outfit that I will get up tonight or tomorrow morning. Also going to start cutting fabric for the Christmas outfit and hoping that I have internet at the office today so I can order the embroidery designs I want to use.

Oh Chiara... I am so sorry for your loss.

I just love seeing these old pictures - your dd and ds are just adorable! And I just love your holiday Mickey ears!

I can't imagine planning a trip in 7 days - what an amazing gift - and I am so glad it helped you heal.

I can't wait to see what else you are making!

Okay so today was my girl's 10th Birthday and she thought it was so cool that it was dress up like a literary character day.

She has been reading this series of books called My Sister the Vampire about 2 long lost twin sisters one is a vampire the other is normal and loves pink.

So she dressed up like Olivia the pink loving cheerleading twin.

WE reused one of the skirts from our August Trip and I made her this new pink shirt.

Close up of shirt (sorry for the look on the girls face, she hates when I use the flash)

The pictures aren't the greatest since it was very early when we took these pictures.

Tomorrow I will try and post some pictures of the present opening.

Awww!!! This is my favorite part... Seeing the smiles on kid's faces - I LOVE it!!! I am so happy she liked her outfits (to be honest, that Donald is probably my all time favorite outfit). Thank you so much for making my day!!! Happy Birthday to dd again!
