Okay so yesterday I went home from work and started right on my list. I finished the order I had to go out. Here are the 2 shirts. I have done them before but I still love them.

Today I am hoping to mark something else off my list but we shall see.

Oh and I received a new fabric for an outfit for the boy that I am excited about.

Need to buy Ric Rac for the Christmas skirt for DD might go to the store on Saturday since I did get a 25% off your order coupon.

I did buy something for our box we ship down to Disney. Coffee cups. I like the ones with the covers that you can take with you on the way to the bus stop or monorail

I'm very behind but slowly trying to catch up.

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.

I love that Minnie applique for Xmas and am glad it stitched out so well. Those capris are darling! I should hand paint some jeans for my dd for some variety (seeing as I bought about 10 pairs at target's clearance!).

The Halloween outfit is so cute too!

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.

Love this! Your dd looks good in pink!

Okay here is another little picture show of the present opening. Sorry about the lighting it was after 8pm.

Reading the cards

The face when she realized she was the proud owner of the Fawn outfit

Opening Donald and the faces

and doesn't this picture just say it all

Belated Happy Birthday to your dd -- see how behind I am!

Okay here are pictures of the big give I did last weekend, the family received it. I was scared of the tink fabric because it was loud but it turned into one of my favorite tink fabrics.

Pardon how big it is on my dd

And here is the superhero outfit

and I did an extra shirt for this little guy.

okay now I am off to go work on a customer order.

I can't remember if I saw these on the BG site or Disbout thread, but the Tink outfit is fabulous and the shirt for Owen is great!

I missed your Agent P and Beast shirts but those are fabulous as well. I don't know how you manage to get all this done! I might need to start making lists like you have!

Off to soccer practice but first must iron uniform as team pics are tonight (I think I washed it after Sats game -- I hope I washed it!).

I will post a picture code here and just remove the 2 asterisks and you will have the basics it only works from photobucket.

you need to put in th_ before the photo id.

okay a little mini update here.

DD is doing much much better today and she went and talked to Sensei at MMA and that helped her greatly so she is back to training on Saturday. I also bought her a journal today at Target.

I collect little notebooks and was thrilled to find these at Target.

One is mine and one is DD's (hers is the one on the right)

Okay and some more of my fabric came today. I love this one and can't wait to work with it.

and lastly a friend is holding an auction to help send her SIL and family to WDW and I wanted to make something to help so this is a little sneak of what is done so far.

Hoping to finish tomorrow.

DD has that same journal book. She was given one for her bday.

Love the fabric that came in. I really need to stop buying fabric but I can't stop. Andrea when are we holding those meetings?

That is sweet that you are donating something for Barbara everytime I bid on something I get outbid so that is a good thing.

Thanks for the info!

Love the new fabrics! Can't wait to see what you do with them!

I might have too. I love Charlotte and I have no girls trip planned to Concord next year. May have to have DH take me to the race that we missed this year and bring DS with us. The girl is easy to find a sitter for. Plus I will need a trip to MaryJo's.

Okay working on my list of chores for the week.

we are planning on visiting Judy and her crew next summer....we might have to plan our dates together!

love the next shirts and fabric....your mickey santa shirt is really sweet!

I love the journals... I've seen them many times, and thought really hard about getting them (I love the printed pages) - but then I realized... They aren't Donald - so I have to pass.

The fabric is adorable - I've never seen that one before!

And I just love that Santa Mickey head.... I just want to stop everything and make something Christmassy. LOL

I think I just need a meeting for everything I do. LOL

Thanks so much. I don't clean much. actually I don't do laundry either unless it is washing fabric.

Actually doing some sort of creating is my destresser and I have a lot of stress thanks to DH's job and the boy child.

Thanks so much the boy child is a cutie.

okay finished one set of easy fits and pinned the second (so I may sew those in the AM or after dance) Now I am hooping the panels for DDs Christmas skirt it is the one new outfit for her.
