OH NO! I hope urgent care can help her! Have they checked her for a UTI yet? Like I said Kyle used to spike high fevers out of no where and it was always a UTI! Actually the 1st few months of his life he had 3 so they ran all kinds of tests that where awful! the VCUG being the worst! I cried the whole time that one happened. He didn't which amazed us all. Then a pediatric Urologist put him on a low does antibiotics for his 1st yr. Man that was a fight daily!

Good luck!

I don't have a recipe..but gourmet caramel apples sound yummy!

Doesn't it though??? I'm still craving it too! I love the ones that have the apple pie filling taste on them, and would love to have a recipe for that one!

 

[disneymomof1]

Glad your daughter is feeling better. How nice of your hubby to point out the huge Joann's in Florida, maybe he stopped in and picked you up a treat ??!! I'm up for a meet at the fabric shop in Ocean City. /QUOTE]

Hi - where is the fabric shop on Asbury?? i cant believe I havent been in there!! i havent been on Asbury too much lately - we go to Calvary Chapel there on the cornere - and sometimes the hardware store or Hoys....but I gotta find this!!! What is your favorite OC restaurant?



ooh - that is really cool!! i love it! thanks for thinking of Daniel!!

Cathy - I hope Devon is feeling better soon - how is she tonight? I always feel worse at night time....if you open a quilt shop in OC, I'll be there every weekend in the summer!! Will you have coupons!!!???

Prayers for Noah's family. One thing I have learned from the many special families I work with at the hospital, is that the family just doesnt know what to do with themselves after their dear one has departed. So much of live was spent caring for their childs daily needs, which takes hours and hours - and lots of appointments. So they feel really lost - praying that they will remember all the fun times they had with Noah and remember that he is in a much better place now, free from a wheelchair, and a trach - God Bless them all....

Wendy, you must go to the fabric store, you will love it, very small but full of gorgeous fabrics. My favorite OC restaurant used to be the Culinary Garden, right near where the Chatterbox is. They had the best bacon, tomato and cheese omelettes. Oh sadly they closed up. Now I would have to say it's a toss up, I love Piccini back on 8th? and West Ave, excellant pizza, I love Spadafora's Seafood, and on the boardwalk I cannot let a summer go by without visiting the Hamburger Construction Co. (next to Playland) and having a Taylor Pork Roll with cheese sandwich. Where do you like to go ???

 

[minnie2]

Ok here is Wubzy! He looks better from a distance! LOL Ok so does my yard!

This is for my girlfriend's DD's 3rd bday. My girlfriend is terrified of color and bright stuff so I had to go simple.

Wubzy probably would have been better if I outlined him in yellow but every where I looked for pictures of he he was outlined in black so I figured I would TRY to be authentic. I had to go over it twice. I am never happy with my appliques. I know I am a beginner but why can't I be a natural! I figured Wubzy would be easy he is basically a box! UM NO!!! he has more curves then you would think!!!
Any way he looks like Wubzy so I guess that is all that counts.

I am so sad to think I may never taste them again since her stroke ( she wants to stay in assisted living...she is too scared to go home alone). But Thanks for reminding me of them!

I gave her a journal a few years ago for Mother's day (to both my grandmothers) and asked them to put all of their favorite recipes in there. I just went and looked...stinker didn't put the caramel apples....I guess she wasn't ready to give that one up! But, can I suggest to you all to do this before your grandmothers get too old. What a treasure that book will always be to me and something so wonderful to give to Katie someday.

Ok now I need some help...with color combos....
I am going to make the Wrap Dress from YCMT..... probably not for a few weeks or even early next month, but I don't know which stripes work better with my main fabric (main fabric is the sea animals)......

I bought the pink - I was trying to make it more girly, but I didn't love it and then got the other, and am not sure if its better.
Opinions, please

I like the pink stripe as well. Where did you get the sea horse fabric? And did they have a boy type print similar? I always make coordinatling sets for my kids and my 2 girlfriends kids for our anual no daddys trip to the beach. This year, I have to make 7 outfits YIKES

That turned out great! Timmy said you need to do Widget too! He loves Wubzy and he said it looks great!!!

 

[Stephres]

I love the nightgown! I make them all the time for Megan because they are so easy.

I like the pink stripe too.

The outfit is cute and all, but I am sitting here wondering what kind of beautiful children would result if Nik and Jacob got married. Is that wrong of me?

Good luck!

how awful for your poor little guy! my dd didn't start getting kidney infections until last year (when she was 5), and i couldn't imagine having to go through all that we went through with a baby! our VCUGs were a DREAM (literally) thanks to the use of a "twilight" drug...my dds were mildly sedated, so we could still talk to them through the procedure, but they don't remember a thing!

good suggestion on making sure the urgent care checks for a UTI!

twob4him: UTIs are tricky things and they are a good guess when you're talking about a little girl with a high fever in the absence of other symptoms. if they do a "pee stick" test in the urget care (where they do an instant test on the urine), make sure they also send a sterile urine sample into the lab to get cultured as we've had 2 pee stick tests that came back negative but the culture came back positive.

if it turns out to be a UTI/kidney infection, please feel free to PM me if you want any more info. or have questions. i'm no expert, but i've been through 5 kidney infections in the last year with my dds, so i'd be happy to share more of my experience. (good news for us is that since we started my 1 dd on daily antibiotics, she's been infection free!)

thinking of you,

Super Cute! l love the fabric too. Great Job!



Great purse!


I don't remember if I shared the story of our late, late Christmas in March with you all, but long story - short... we had a late Christmas this last weekend with my folks. The kids wanted Grandma and Grandpa to have matching Chef's hats, and that they should look like watermelons
So, this is what we ended up with.....

they were a huge hit and that was before they saw the "grandma" and "grandpa" embroidered on the front of the.

And today I made my first CarlaC pattern!
I have to say the 100+ pages is a bit intimidating at first but it turned out great and I can't wait to do more. I made a nightgown for DD2 from the Peasant pattern. I had some pink, moon and stars flannel that had been in a drawer for months....scratch that, years. Now it is on DD while she fights bedtime thats a better use of it I think. I was literally sewing the final seam while Hubby was starting her bedtime stories tonight. Then she put it on and DS5 told her she looked like Princess Aurora...seriously thats what he said.... and she started bouncing off the walls. So a getting a picture was a challenge. This is what you get

Hmmm, do you think that child will sleep anytime soon

Ok now I need some help...with color combos....
I am going to make the Wrap Dress from YCMT..... probably not for a few weeks or even early next month, but I don't know which stripes work better with my main fabric (main fabric is the sea animals)......

I bought the pink - I was trying to make it more girly, but I didn't love it and then got the other, and am not sure if its better.
Opinions, please

Thanks!
Just noticed my pics are all pretty small... sorry

Love the nightgown! I seriously need to make a few of those. Yours turned out so cute! I can see why she's so excited.

As far as the fabric for the wrap dress - I personally prefer the pink stripe combo.

Aww... maybe she will feel better before Thursday?? Poor little girl!
I'll bet tickets are non-refundable. We are going on May 1st to Disney on Ice. I'd imagine it would be the same show since you are in Texas. We are seeing Mickey and Minnie's magical journey.

Yes, we were supposed to see Mickey and Minnie's magical journey. But it does look like we're gonna miss it. She is feeling better this morning than she was yesterday, but she still has a fever, so she's still contagious. PLUS, my son is now coughing up a lung. He's probably going to the Dr. today. My DH is beginning to feel pretty puny too. We're a sickly lot, I tell you!

One good thing is that we purchased our tickets with AMEX, and they insure tickets in the event that something happens and you can't make it. We've got to research a bit about what we need to do, but we're hopeful that they'll refund our money. Keeping our fingers crossesd!

Its 7:30 am and 104.4 So, my guess is the antibiotic isnt working and/or its something like pneumonia or a bladder infection too or something....this is crazy...so its back to Urgent Care. (I do have pediatrician but they can't diagnose anything properly and the place is basically useless.....so I am actually better off with Urgent Care...I know everyone there and they are like family.) I am actually sitting here waiting for them to open so I can get going.

Someone may have said this already, so I'm sorry if it's a repeat. One thing AbbyGrace's pediatrician said yesterday is that a simple infection wouldn't cause a fever spike up to 103-104. When we went in, AbbyGrace's fever was 103.7. She looked at her ear and said she had an infection, but that there was probably something viral because a virus is what causes high temperature spikes. That's what caused her to do a flu test. She also said that the ear infection was probably a virul infection in response to the flu. She's being treated for the ear infection AND for the flu, and I'm still giving her tylenol/motrin to try to keep her fever down. I say that to say that there could be something viral going on if her fever is that high? I sure hope you're able to figure something out soon and that you're all feeling better real soon!

Seeing all the wonderful fabric stashes and sewing rooms some of you have (and thinking about sewing for new baby Taylor) made me have the craziest dream last night.

We are bursting at the seams in our house. I'd love to have a spare room. Well last night I dreamed I "found" not one. but two rooms that I'd just never noticed before and one of them was a sewing room.

[minnie2]

Karen - my Granny used to make the BEST caramel apples in the world! She only makes them at Halloween and we all fight over them...thank goodness my kids wont eat them, leaves more for me and DH. I am so sad to think I may never taste them again since her stroke ( she wants to stay in assisted living...she is too scared to go home alone). But Thanks for reminding me of them!

I gave her a journal a few years ago for Mother's day (to both my grandmothers) and asked them to put all of their favorite recipes in there. I just went and looked...stinker didn't put the caramel apples....I guess she wasn't ready to give that one up! But, can I suggest to you all to do this before your grandmothers get too old. What a treasure that book will always be to me and something so wonderful to give to Katie someday.

I love that book idea to pass down from generations! My SIL is doing one from her grandmother with a lot of Russian recipes problem is there is no measurements! I wish she could have gotten Pop's fruit thingy before he passed of course Pop and I where the only ones that would eat them! More for us!

That turned out great! Timmy said you need to do Widget too! He loves Wubzy and he said it looks great!!!

Thanks! If a little kid likes it that to me is a RAVE review! My girlfriend whose DD it is for said I need to make the other characters but I am askeer to try it!

The outfit is cute and all, but I am sitting here wondering what kind of beautiful children would result if Nik and Jacob got married. Is that wrong of me?

Not wrong and here is my take. They would be adorable, blonde haired blue eyes, skinny legged Disney loving kid with grandma's who would sew up a storm for them so it wouldn't matter that they where all legs because they would be in custom clothes from birth!

How old is Jacob? (Nikki is 9) I am all for pre arranged marriages to a good family

Wait isn't he Tessa's? Or are you studding your son off?

how awful for your poor little guy! my dd didn't start getting kidney infections until last year (when she was 5), and i couldn't imagine having to go through all that we went through with a baby! our VCUGs were a DREAM (literally) thanks to the use of a "twilight" drug...my dds were mildly sedated, so we could still talk to them through the procedure, but they don't remember a thing!

You got so lucky they where twilight VCUG's! Kyle was wide awake! George held his arms down and I talked to him rubbing the tip of the binky and he didn't even flinch. All the techs kept saying what a dream he was after the last kid they had who screamed and wiggled. I felt bed but we joked and said we feel the same way about him because he WAS such an easy baby compared to Nikki! Kyle freaked for his renal ultrasound and all that was was laying on his belly and doing an ultra sound! Go figure!

That is such a sweet memory! Does granny live in a place where she has kitchen access??? Can she come home for a visit?? If so, I think she would love to still make them and pass on the tradition to a granddaughter that has such fond memories of them! She can sit and tell you what to do, and you can be her hands. What a tender memory that would be?!?! Learning how to make those yummy caramel apples from your grandma so you can pass down this tradition at Halloween time. You should see if you can do this with her. She probably gets so bored staying in that assisted living place all the time! (Then, when she pass on the recipe, pass it on to me! )

Love your idea about a recipe book. My mom would never do it, but my DH's mom would! I think I might just do that! Thanks for the suggestion!

Happy St Patricks Day!!

I need to dust off machine since I now I have a trip planned.

Here is Belle and Will from today with the shirt I made her. The sun was in their eyes

What a couple of cuties! The pillowcase dress is just perfect!

That is such a cute little dress!

Prayers for Noah's family.

Are you talking about Jonah, or did something happen with Noah??

That purse is SO pretty!

Does anyone here have some SUPER DELICIOUS recipes for homemade caramels or recipes for homemade gourmet caramel apples? I feel the need to make them immediately!!

Go to bed crazy woman!

These 2 posts had me

The hats are so cute! I also like the nightgown! I need to make Tessa a few more of those. I keep going back and forth from the pink to the green. I really like BOTH of them!

I enjoyed the photo tour of your sewing room. When do we get to find out why you might be losing your sewing room???

How do I get to the disboutiquers page on facebook? I am so lost on there! I now have one friend though. Thanks Crystal!!!
[/B][/COLOR]

Did you see the link Teresa posted? I think you might have because I'm your friend now!

thanks for all of your help last week on my question about a tie...i did look at the youcanmakeityourself patterns, but they were more than i wanted to spend ($4....i wanted free ). the one tutorial i found was great, but the woman who wrote it said it took her about 3 hours to make!!

i ended up tracing DH's tie onto the shamrock fabric left over from the girls' top/skirt (it is the joann's fabric that has the green shamrock swirls with a black background and sparkles) and then just used the wrong side of the fabric as the back side of the tie and sewed those together. when i sewed it, i moved the seams in about an inch on the sides to scale the size down. one thing i did pick up from that on-line tutorial was to add interfacing, which i did at the bottom (but in retrospect, i wish i had lined the tie about half way up...the cotton wrinkles easily!)

my ds had the choice to wear the "sparkly side" or the other side (the back side of that fabric had a cool, washed out look) today and he went for the bling to match his sisters!

the kids looked nice in their first set of made-by-me clothes (and i was so dang proud of myself!), now all i have to do is remember to get a picture of the three of them BEFORE they are running off to catch the bus! (the one i got wasn't so special)

tonight i made my first carlac!! i found perfect fabric for the a-line reversible dress, and i finished (except the snaps) a little one for my good friend's baby shower this weekend...she has been waiting for YEARS for her adoption to go through, and they leave in about a month to go to china to pick up their little girl! my plan is to make 2 more for my girls, and another 1 for the daughter of our other good friend from high school. my ds and my friend's ds are getting reversible ties made out of the same fabric (it's blue and green)...i'm thinking that these coordinating outfits will make for the sweetest picture when they all finally get together!
thank you carlac! you made even MY sewing look good!!

whew...it's 3:15am here. the dress is done and the fabric scraps are picked up off the kitchen table...i suppose my "sewing high" will fade eventually, so i'd better get to bed.

you all are such an inspiration! thanks!

THIS POST CALLS FOR PICTURES!!!

Ok here is Wubzy! He looks better from a distance! LOL Ok so does my yard!

I love it, Marlo!! I think he looks great outlined in black! Sometimes that looks better than matching the color, anyway. I did Goofy and outlined him in black and I thought he looked much better than matching the colors.

Seeing all the wonderful fabric stashes and sewing rooms some of you have (and thinking about sewing for new baby Taylor) made me have the craziest dream last night.

Oh wow. Those are beautiful! I have no idea which parts you made and which parts were premade though. I am a huge Martha Stewart fan, and could spend a ton on all that stuff just because I adore everything she makes. I should probably stay away from your hobby!

LOL! Thanks! Nothing is premade. Well except for the ribbon or paper. lol. It is a fun hobby, but can be pricey!

WOW those are so neat! Definitely puts any storebought card to shame, especially love the pirate invitations.

Thanks! I love the pirate invites too! I talked Ben into a Pirate party because of those stamps. lol!

ah shucks, thanks
that's only a small part of it, too ...
the FULL BOLTS are stacked to the ceiling on a high shelf all around the room ...
Plus, there's hanging fabric below the counter top.
It's a SMALL 12'x12' room ... so really had to organize to get it all to fit ... and still be able to work in here a bit.
click to enlarge.
older pixs =


homemade patterns & projects get hung in baggies =
[URL="http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb57/the-seamstress/sewroom/100_7767.jpg"]

after moving some stuff around, recently = had to add more stuff, right?!


It's a small room, so it's hard to backup enough to get good pixs ...
there's a big U shaped work counter all around the room ... minus just enough wall space a 4'x2.5' light table, and a 3.5'x6' cutting table ... + there's a rolling storage/triple ironing board/photo display counter that moves about the middle, like an island.

there's a curtain hanging from that bar, along the top shelf, that holds my velvet backdrop for photos.

the counters hold my serger, 2 counter-inset all-metal sewing machines, an embroidery machine, and a backup plastic sewing machine (for buttonholes) ...

I'll try to take pixs of the island & counters when they are cleaned up a bit more = messy right now, from sewing.

only one cook in this kitchen, mind you.

I'm working on getting us moved about of here & into a bigger place = some day.
Would love-love-love to have more room & cabinets to hide everything away!

I <3 Your stash/room! I covet it!!!! (Great. now I need to go to confession says the good Catholic girl!)

Great cards! I used to scrap but now that I have found sewing I haven't touched my scrap stuff..... My kids have a TON of stamps! They love it.

Thanks!
I had to find a balance between the two. Sometimes I don't though. lol. I will go 2 months without Stamping, or 2 months without sewing. I have a hard time being fair with my hobbies. lol.

I just read this from Jonah's trip report and wanted to post it here as I know alot of you took part in his give.

"I know I neglected his trip report but the memories are still there. Jonah passed away March 13, 2007. He pulled out his trach in the middle of the night. We are having his visitation on Wednesday and his funeral on thursday. We are having a tough will the realization that he isn't here with us. We are remembering the good times that we had with him and that always brings a smile to our faces. We can't thank Make-A-Wish enough for giving us some of those favorite memories. We can't thank Give Kids the World enough either. Please just remember us.

becca"

I assume she meant to write 2009 where it says 2007. I am so sad to see this but felt the need to share! Here is a link to his TR.

Oh! this made me cry! I am saying prayers for his family!

Just wanted to post a few pictures of a dress I made my dd for St. Pats Day

So CUTE!

Wow, you make gorgeous cards!! I save all of the homemade cards I get. They are so special!

Awww. When people say things like this it makes it worth it! I hope that the people I send cards to also save theirs!

Okay, I'm trying to catch up a bit...

Jessica - The Suess sets are fantastic!
Penny - What a sweet, tiny little girl.
Wendy - I LOVE that fabric! I want one of each color for a round neck top, peasant top with a sash and a summer purse for me - LOL!

Piper - The Minnie Dot twirl it really cute!

Kelly - Your cards are fabulous! I envy those with talent for stamping because I've tried it a few times and I'm just no good at it. I love the look though!

Kathy/NaeNae - I can't offer any advice, but I can't wait to see what you do with your new sewing room! I understand what you mean about daunting though - so many options available it would be so hard to decide what you want.

Okay, I have to get off this thread or I'm going to spend the entire day looking at fabric stashes and sewing rooms. I have WAYY too much work to get done.

Thank you! I'm sure you'd be good though! It takes practice just like sewing!

POSSIBLE FAREWELL TO HEATHER'S SEWING ROOM

She was a good sewing room, but she may be lost soon, due to a very good reason. I am dying to tell you all the reason, but I can't yet (no, I'm not pregnant)! I will tell you as soon as I am allowed, though. It may not happen at all, so I may be able to keep my sewing room, after all. Okay, that's enough cryptic talk.

I took some new pictures for the occasion:
The view from the doorway. I put my Cinderella's castle picture in the chair for you all to see because I never got around to hanging it up.

Here's the view into the attached bathroom:

Here's the empty drawer in my desk...

That used to contain all of this stuff, until the drawer fell off and the stuff went everywhere...

Here's the drawer on my other desk:

My beautiful Marathon thread. It was pretty inexpensive, thanks for the link, Jessica!

wow! Heather! Your room is great!

These cards are amazing!! I do not need a new hobby...I do not need a new hobby...!! Just beautiful!

Thanks! What did you say? You DON'T need another hobby?

Ooo! Card making is my other crafty hobby.... I love yours, great stuff.
Thanks for sharing!

Ohhh! I want to see yours! Share!!

I wish I could get some Sewing in but the kids are home all week for Intersession. I did get this done on Sunday.

Wow! You have been busy! A bow holder has been on my list! yours came out great!

Wow..those are really cute cards! I have said for years that I want to start making cards...so I go out buy myself some stamps, and they have been sitting in my drawers for years!

Well, get out some paper and stamp lady! NO seriously, It's some great stress relief.

I will update on my lack of sewing projects in the next day or two. I know you are all on the edge of your seats. lol

 

[twob4him]

OK back from Urgent Care....they said no pneumonia or UTI....so far....just keep on keepin on with the tylenol/motrin etc and wait one more day..she should be on the upswing tomorrow. For some reason I thought the antibiotic would kick in sooner. Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

Wendy, you must go to the fabric store, you will love it, very small but full of gorgeous fabrics. My favorite OC restaurant used to be the Culinary Garden, right near where the Chatterbox is. They had the best bacon, tomato and cheese omelettes. Oh sadly they closed up. Now I would have to say it's a toss up, I love Piccini back on 8th? and West Ave, excellant pizza, I love Spadafora's Seafood, and on the boardwalk I cannot let a summer go by without visiting the Hamburger Construction Co. (next to Playland) and having a Taylor Pork Roll with cheese sandwich. Where do you like to go ???

I've only ever eaten at Mac's pizza in OC We usually only go a few nights each summer and so that would explain it...we don't stay overnight or anything. I'm up for anything! We could shop and then eat! Can't think of anything better (well besides Disney)

 

[minnie2]

I love it, Marlo!! I think he looks great outlined in black! Sometimes that looks better than matching the color, anyway. I did Goofy and outlined him in black and I thought he looked much better than matching the colors.



He's ARMINDA'S!!!

REALLY, Steph!

thanks! Did you have to outline him twice when you used black? Is that a normal thing? I am wondering if I would like my other appliques more if I outlined them twice

Ok I knew he was some ones! I just had the wrong kid's!

So Steph is pimping her son!

Either way he has some cute girls to choose from!

Ok I was just in the mood to use a bunch of these


For those of you who applique do you try to do most of the applique in one fluid motion or do you stop and start alot? Does that make sense?

Just wanted to post a few pictures of a dress I made my dd for St. Pats Day

That is very cute!

My children are on Spring Break this week WOO HOO! We have tickets to Disney on Ice for Thursday evening. WOO HOO! BUT WAIT! AbbyGrace wakes up yestereday morning with a fever. We alternate Tylenol and Motrin all day, and her fever drops, but never goes away. SO, we spent the morning at the pediatricians office. Turns out she has the flu, and an ear infection. My poor baby! She's spending her vey first spring break in bed feeling miserable. It looks like our trip is cancelled, and we're staying home pumping fluids into my baby girl. My DH is picking up her scripts right now, I sure hope they help her.


Heather, I love the tribute to your sewing room! If there's one positive thing about AbbyGrace being sick, it's that I have the time to straighten out my craft room this week. I've already started, and I hope to be finished re-organizing everything either today or tomorrow. I'll snap some pictures when I get it complete.

I hope the meds kick in and she starts feeling better soon!

Hi everyone! New here, and pretty new to sewing. I have been reading your post since I found it the other day. I am only up to page 58 so far, but I did want to say that you all are super talented! I am amazed by some of your creations, and my daughter's are always checking out the pictures behind me and suggesting that I make them some of the beautiful dresses ad such. Here is a picture of my latest projects that are finished. these are for my two daughter's and I also made my neices dresses out of the same fabric ( different patterns) but I forgot to take pics of them before I gave them to them. I'll be sure to post a picture of the four of them wearing their dresses to church!

Those are very pretty and you did a wonderful job! I love the colors of that fabric.

I

CUTE, CUTE, CUTE! I love the little pockets on your pillowcase top!

They look great! Very festive.

I love the bag! Thanks so much for pointing out that pattern. I am having a bit of a bag obsession lately.

I bought the pink - I was trying to make it more girly, but I didn't love it and then got the other, and am not sure if its better.
Opinions, please

Those hats looks like a fun gift! I'm sure they loved that you used the kids' idea.
I think both fabrics match really well, it just depends on what colors you like. My DD would probably choose the blue/green/purple one since she likes that color scheme.

Cute. Love the dress. I think those are ruffles on the sides?

How do I get to the disboutiquers page on facebook? I am so lost on there! I now have one friend though. Thanks Crystal!!!

Thanks! Yes, they are rufflish, but not very full since I made a mistake and didn't have much fabric to use to correct it.
I will see if I can find you! Facebook can be confusing at first, but it's lots of fun. I think if you put Disboutique in the main search box, you will be able to find the group.

Ok here is Wubzy! He looks better from a distance! LOL Ok so does my yard!

I think you did a great job on the applique!
