DS's second birthday....a week after we got off the
DCL cruise thru the panama canal.... our first fondant attempt
DS's third birthday.... oh, that was a tasty cake
DD's first birthday... another fondant heavy cake... the colors match the plates, cups, etc.
Thanks for humoring me.
I love all the cakes and party pics that have been posted lately.
We are planning a Bolt party for DS and a Cinderella party for DD this summer. And you guys are really getting us inspired. Do you get as excited about your kids parties as they do... Sometimes I think I am a bit crazy
GREAT cakes Danica!!!! I love the Saturn one! Lydia would love that! Last year, she had Aunt Heather (her own version of Auntie, but with cakes) made her a rocket cake, and if memory serves me correctly there was a My Little Pony looking out the window. She loves all things space related! and ponies.
Oh My gosh you are right! (Well about the DJ pictures anyway-I'm not special, just me

) I am so sorry, I forgot all about the pictures.
And Morgan the "rocker" LOL
Thank you Cindee!!! WOW!! You were really close! You weren't kidding!! But! You didn't tell us you made him a bowling shirt!!! Nice job!

I like this outfit better than the other ones I've seen him in. I wonder when he wll be there next year?
Where's Jeanne? She would know the movie!!! Cute picture, your son is just adorable!!!
The one with the big floppy ears? We got him a couple of weeks ago and DH named him Floppy... guess it goes with the dog named Puppy (DH named that one too.) Can't wait until DD is old enough to pick her own names at Build-A-Bear - I'm sure she'll have a better imagination than her dad
Does anyone know if JoAnns or Hancocks carries PUL (that water-resistant fabric used in diapers) or can it only be purchased online?
I talked her into the $12 bunny, it has pretty floppy ears and a cute little pink nose, and it kind of sparkles!!! I loved it! um, I mean
ARMINDA loved it!

She thought of naming her Sparkle Bunny, but ended up naming her Lil Pawlette. We have a dog named Puppy, the monkey and bear with hearts on them named Love Monkey and Love Bear, a blue sparkly bear named Blue Sparkles, a pink unicorn named Pink Sparkles, a teddy named Teddy and a teddy named Beary... I could go on, but I think you get the idea!! My daughters are very UNimaginative in the naming department!!
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know of a skirt pattern in a size juniors 3/5 that uses about a yard of the main material?????
Thanks, Wendy
I've made simple elastic waist skirts using a metre of fabric (and I was a size 12 at the time...). You could add a contrasting cuff at the bottom for visual interest
Well I am about her age and I am making
this skirt for myself out of some watercolour looking floral fabric. I am going to add pockets (i think?) and maybe a constrasting cuff (depending on how expensive the fabric ends up being) I am thinking I will wear it on my waist with a thick belt and a white tank tucked in to make it a little more funky.
What Daniela said Wendy!
yep, Daniela is the baby of our group!
sorry I think the pictures are to big tried to make smaller threw this together for our trip leaving thiursday, thought that my texas dgd needed to let people know mickey can be a cowboy too
I love the cowboy Mickey!!! Where did you get that fabric??
I actually used Carla's pattern for the first time on Sierra's top. Olivia's was a McCalls pajama pattern I think. Both of those outfits were super easy. As for Raggedy Ann, that's IT! NO MORE UNTIL AFTER THE WEDDING! I mean it! Nothing, Zilch, Nada!
As for the china, the funniest thing about that is that Karen won't bring it back home to me. She's afraid to transport it in her car!
And for the wedding, I'm using this pattern for bridesmaids:
It (lavender, strapless, bubble skirt) will be black brocade.
The pattern's smallest size is 6. Two of her bridesmaids are size 4, but with a "C" cup. I'm freaking out. How will I make it fit???? Does anyone wanna help????? Come on over...we'll have a marathon sewing day.
Yep, sure Darla!

I think the only way that will happen is if no one asks you to make something for them! You just can't refuse those cuties, can you!
The dresses are going to be so pretty!!! I checked to see where you were, but I think you are a bit far for me to come to help! You know I would be right there if I could!
Sorry for the drive by! I need to go back and read but I am so tired!
Sadly George DIDN"T come home his fever was too high so he is in again tonight but when I left his fever was at 101 so I am not hopeful for tomorrow him coming home.
Thankfully my girlfriend took the kids after my brother had to go home and she will watch them again tomorrow.
I am so tired and drain I just want him home! I know he wants to be home too but he is really hurting. I feel awful. Then the guy in the next bed is annoying UGH! He bashes his wife to the people who have come to see him then I meet his wife and she is a pain in the butt and they start fighting! UGH! The guy hasn't been mean to us at all it is just that he is driving us crazy with stuff he says to people around him. UGH! Then I feel bad because his wife comes in for maybe 15-minutes to a half hour every day. I just can't imagine that if my husband was in the hospital! Then again I am the one who is there all day every day and feels guilty she comes home to take care of the kids!
Thanks all for the wishes! And letting me vent. Maybe tomorrow morning I can read a bit before I go to see him....
Aww, Marlo, I'm sorry! I hope the fever goes down and he starts feeling better tomorrow. I hope you are getting enough sleep, you don't want to wear yourself out.
