Small update on my cousin.

She is doing "better". Her blood pressure is not as low as it was yesterday. She seems better able to breathe. I guess they did a bunch of tests today and over the weekend so now we wait for the Dr's to review the results.

Hopefully, she will continue to do better.

I am so glad she is doing better!! I pray she continues to get better and better!!!

Here are the latest creations to come out of my sewing "room". I have 3 more to finish, then I need to decided what my girls will be wearing for Easter. I am having the hardest time deciding on what style of dress and what fabric to use.

Here is the one for my nephew

Those are so cute!!

Drive by post, but I just had to say:

Jeanne! That Piglet set is AMAZING!!! Love it!

Linnette, Don't sell yourself short! Your stuff is wonderful! Your applique is GREAT! The Belle dress and the Tink dress are Leighanna's favorites!

Cathy, LOVE the Bambi outfit, and your Big Give outfit is wonderful too!

I wish I had a trip planned soon so that I could be busy sewing again!


All of the other stuff posted lately has been wonderful too!

I do have an Easter dress to make Leighanna yet! I just have to figure out what I am doing!

I made the other wall hanging that is being offered from YCQT.
I think I may become a "quilter" after all!

I should have used my "walking foot" as I was finishing this! The sides got a little wonky from trying to sew through all those layers. I should have put a binding on it instead of trying to turn it right side out. Oh well, not too bad of an attempt for my second quilting project!

TOM! WOW! That is fabulous! You're doing an awesome job with the quilting projects.

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well today...I was away all weekend...well away from here...Katie's party was Saturday and it was great. Her BFF from home was able to come and her BFF from here was here and they all got along great. We had 13 kids at the party from 2 years old to 11! What fun! And they all played so well together! It was raining all day, so they had to stay inside, but it really was fun.

I had also won the in home celebration kit, so that was her party "theme"...we just had all Disney stuff. We got to played games and had gifts for everyone! It really was fun.

Then Sunday came...it seems that somebody at the party had a stomach virus...uh oh! It was a fast moving virus...as in I was fast moving to the bathroom all day Sunday. Then Monday morning at 2am Timmy was fast moving, then Katie at 5am! What a day it was yesterday! I had to do tons of laundry all day long! I hate the smell of puke! Poor Timmy had the worst of it...I was getting worried and almost took him to the hospital last night, but he started drinking and making urine. He is much better today.

I did skim the weekend and as usual you guys are all so talented and so supportive...I love being a part of this group! I know there are those that need prayers, and some that need them that didn't ask...I pray for you all everyday. New babies to get ready to welcome...congrats to be said...what a great place!

BTW...I will post pics of Katie's party when photobucket acts right...

Can't wait to see the party pics!

So sorry you all got so sick!

They came out great Tom! I need to figure out how to use my walking foot....

And who asked about the Sookie Stackhouse books and if they could read the second before the first???? I don't know why but I have had your question stuck in my head- I know you posted it Sunday night. Did you start reading? You can read it out of order, but I think reading the first book is important, after you read the first, its easier to read the others out of order because the first book establishes how Sookie meets Bill and Eric and other key characters.

I missed that question but I do think you absolutely have to read them in order. IMO. Each books establishes so much of her feelings and it builds with every book. I mean you could do them out of order BUT I don't think it would have the same impact....

Glad to hear all is well!!!!!!!

 

[Adi12982]

That is awesome!! How did you do that?

THANKS! I didn't do much, I just searched the types of comments you can put on myspace and took the part of the link you would use to put it in myspace that is only for the image and put it here. There are lots of cute things you can use!! Usually I search ___- myspace comment (like birthday myspace comment, etc).

Anyone made a shopping cart cover? I looked through the bookmarks and didn't see anything and also googled which brought up a few places to buy one. I am mainly interested to hear how you liked it and what patterned you used or just your opinion on them in general. They all look so big and sloppy. Is it just me?

Also did you make button holes and thread the strap through it from the cart? The strap is the grossest part to me.

I've made quite a few shopping cart covers. I bought a simple pdf pattern from ebay. I like how they turn out and those I have given them to use them. They are a bit bulky, but you can fold it down quite a bit and also make a bag/case to put it in of coordinating fabric.

Sorry, I'm still reading,quite a few pages back.
but I had something happen this AM,
that I reeeally wanted to get you'all's OPINIONS ON & EXPERIENCES WITH something ...

Without explaining ALL the tiny details of the current situation =

MY QUESTIONS to all you lovely ladies (&Tom) =
From your experiences of sending & receiving things like that ...

WithOUT alot of tape being used to sqwuash it all down
AND without the outer edges of the envelope becoming too distorted
('cuz my post offices will NOT take them that way!

1. HOW MANY 3T OVERALLS CAN YOU GET TO FIT IN A FLAT RATE USPS ENVELOPE?
... at the same time


1. IF You Have Gotten/Received more than ONE 3T Overalls to FIT in a Flat Rate Envelope =
HOW DID YOU/THEY FOLD THEM TO GET THEM TO FIT?
Inquiring Minds Wanna Know! pleeeeeease!

I've really TRIED (many times) to get more than ONE overall into a Flat Rate Envelope & COULD NOT! At least, NOT WITHOUT rumpling the edges of the envelope & having to tape it all down = of which the post offices here = They rejected it & MADE me re-pack in it in a Tyvek or Box and pay for extra shipping, of course! ggrrrrr ...

I was recently told =
"_______ (another seamstress) fits in three pairs of overalls for me all the time."
"I receive three or four packages every week like this the designers just tape it all down"
"I don't understand why you think it is that much, when four pairs of shoes only cost me $5"

I replied = "I was just going by the USPS online Calculator & the weight of the items."

(I didn't SAY these next things, but I sure thought them.)
HOW the h3ck do FOUR PAIRS OF SHOES FIT into a Flat Rate Envelope!! Let alone, 3 overalls!! I gotta SEE THIS!
It's NOT that I disbelieve it can be done = I just don't know/understand H-O-W they can do that OR more importantly = H-O-W I can repeat it!

Maybe they use the priority flat rate BOX - you can put quite a bit more in there than an envelope and it is only a couple of dollars more.

Okay so who has been to Disneyland in the summer???? My twin sister and I may be headed to California this summer with the kids and if so will be hitting Disneyland!! Is it just as crowded in the summer as Disney World? Is there a better summer month to go? If we go my sister also wants to go to Knott's Berry Farm....have any of you ever made a custom outfit for Knott's?

DH and I went to Disneyland in mid-June 2007. Other than the newly opened nemo subs ride, everything was ok. We used a lot of fastpasses and ridemax to help us know how we should go about it all, but we rode everything we wanted more than once each day. I suggest getting there a open, go til lunch, rest at your hotel for a hile and go back. It still gets cool at night even in the summer, California is different like that

Okay guys, it my turn to request the "power of prayer".

After school today Chianna, my oldest (9 yrs old) was showing me her Developing breast and teasing her i lightly squeezed it and noticed it was VERY HARD. So I took her to her room and had her take off her shirt and I did a breast exam on her. She has a walnut size AND a small grape size lump in her right breast.

Of course I called my mom then the doctor....hey, we all know that mom knows best. We have the first avaiable appointment in the morning. Of course husband is woking, so he won't even be in town. But im so scared after just telling her that we are not gooing to stress out or think about it I am! ! !

I would just appreciate any prayers you may say this evening for strength and the well being of my "baby". Thanks

Will be praying. Hopefully all is well. I know when I was first "growing" my breasts they were harder than is normal for fully formed breasts - but it was normal, just they way they were when they start to grow. Prayers are on the way.

We've decided that we're going to go to Ohana's for breakfast for my DD's birthday celebration. I would like to make her something with a red fabric that has white hibiscus flowers on it - similar to what Lilo wears. Does anyone know where I can find fabric like this? Or have a name of a fabric that I can order somewhere maybe?

I made this last year. I thought the blue one might be similiar to what you are looking for. They had it in red also. I got it at Hancocks.

Hey there!! I think I have exactly what you are looking for at home, however I only have 1 yard of it and haven't used it yet....but if you haven't found any by the time I get home about 5pm CT I can look to see who makes it and let you know. I can't remember off the top of my head where I got it from, but I think I got it on sale for pretty cheap! It is a solid red with maybe 2-3 inch white hibiscus all over it. I will get a pic and let you know!!

Oh thank God!!! That's great news! Isn't it so scary how quickly girls are developing???

Glad she is ok!!!
My Dd is 9 too ad I am SO not ready for her to grow up! Thankfully she hasn't started to develop yet! I am hoping because of her celiacs she is delayed in MANY areas

I hope they tell you it's nothing serious! Definitely let us know as soon as you hear something.

Cindee, how is your cousin?



Yes, we must! I too am leaving DH at home. I'm not sure where we're staying yet but probably the Anaheim Fairfield. I've never stayed at Paradise Pier! It's the only DL hotel I haven't stayed in, so if they come up with a good deal, I'm there!

Prayers! Hopefully everything is just fine.

The only other Disneyland resort I've stayed at is the Disneyland Hotel, and that was when I was eight for a dance convention. I lived in LA for about four years, and booked myself a trip as my graduation present. Lol, all of my friends were going to Mexico or Hawaii and I was going to Disneyland. ^-^ Also, I actually like Disneyland better than WDW. . .

Ok I finished my other daughters dress for our Disney trip. I am not sewing again for long long time. I don't have the patience or the talent to do this stuff! But it turned out decent and she is happy with it so that's what really matters.

That's cute, love the ariel fabric.

as I been in a state of perpetual depression, but decided that this is what keeps me going

Michelle: sorry for the many text---I tried sending you a slide (pictures) but had to do it one at a time--- something was up with photobucket also as it was taking me forever---

I hope everything is OK with Chianna I know it will

hope you like these

the other ones I have to yet download in photobucket
wendy:

(sorry for the bad fit but the dress form is a size 2 and the dress is size 7)

and some fabrics I ordered from fabricsgalore ---they were on sale!!!---

I specially love this one

part of my give project

which I am still working on (maybe I will redo !!!) i know, I know it looks really bad!!!!!!!

I will hopefully go back and read few pages

PS: Crystal I email you



Linnette

Ohhhhhh WOW those are all so fantastic!!! Not sure how you can consider that little talent, they look wonderful to me! Sorry to hear you've been depressed, too! (that's supposed to be a hug)

Did some rather simple cute things this weekend... have been so busy with life lately... not much time for sewing

Lori

Those are cute, love all of your appliques, especially Mulan!

So DD is finally getting over her s tomach flu. . .but now *I* have it. I told DH to watch out, because he's next!

http://www.deanmillerprints.com/Hawaiian_Print_Fabric_Discount_p/fabricdm30red.htm

This the one I have I think. But I didn't get it from this site. However $10 for 3 yards is pretty good if you need that much!

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

Well, I was at my Vineland Walmart here in South Jersey - it too is leaving forever. All the fabric was 25% off. I bought $130 of fabric - my husband will not let me near a fabric store if he knows this. Thankfully we each have our "own money". I bought the apple fabrics for window shade for my kitchen. I found some Hawaiian prints for a dress for me, I think. And I have this cupcake fabric that I bought the remainning 6+yrds becuase it was so cute.

revrob - I have been looking for Red fabric with white hibiscus for a while - I have the one pictured but my Mom brought that home from Hawaii along with a navy one and one other. I have not been about to find a red or blue for a long time the ones in the top picture are about as good as I can find around here.

 

[Jennia]

First, sorry for the double post-wasn't sure if I had time to finish reading, and turns out I did! ^-^

I know you will be impressed to hear I finished outfit #2 for Olivia's Big Give...this is for her older sister who does NOT like frilly things! She does like Minnie so I made a top and shorts for her!

I am going to ship them out this week! Won't they be surprised to get an early box! I really think this is just as (or more) fun for us as the Wish kids! Thanks for letting me participate....Teresa....and thanks for all of your work on coordinating for this family!!!!



ETA: I remembered someone asked me if I sewed the ribbon in (by opening up the side seams) and this time I did! Thanks for the tip!!!!

That looks great, nice job! You've been busy this week!

This is only my second post in the disboutiquers board. I completed 2 more dresses for my DD3 over the weekend. Nothing spectacular but will be nice and cool for her to wear in WDW in May and August. I also went shopping for more Disney fabric this weekend and had some good finds at Hancock fabrics.

Super cute and should be nice for summer!

Small update on my cousin.

She is doing "better". Her blood pressure is not as low as it was yesterday. She seems better able to breathe. I guess they did a bunch of tests today and over the weekend so now we wait for the Dr's to review the results.

Hopefully, she will continue to do better.

Glad to hear that she's doing better, that must be so scary.

Welcome back and "welcome Home!' Where did you buy? We own at Animal Kingdom Villa's.




Well George went back to work today! I think he should have taken the rest of this week off but he didn't listen to me. His dr yesterday told him he would be happy to let him stay out the rest of the week. Problem is George is just a really good employee and being the boss he always sets the example even if it means he is in pain Heck when he had his colon removed he only took 2 weeks off So 2 weeks for a hernia no matter how rough it was he just wouldn't take off. Thankfully his boss told him to take it easy and make it a light week. So I am hoping he comes home early but we shall see.


Ok why do I do this to myself. I just cut out almost 200 4 inch squares edged them all of to make a dress for my nice and my girlfriends little girl for her bday. Well I miss calculated and I didn't make the dress long enough So the final row will just e solid one material. Oh well I hope it looks ok.... I need to finish the one dress by Sat for her party! I have the bodice done and now I just have to attach all the sq for the 3 rows of patchwork and the solid row then ruffle away. Now is when I wished I wasn't so askeered of my ruffler foot!

Glad to hear that your husband feels well enough to be going to work. What is it with men though trying to act all tough, especially after something major like surgery?!

Drive by post, but I just had to say:




Cathy, LOVE the Bambi outfit, and your Big Give outfit is wonderful too!

I wish I had a trip planned soon so that I could be busy sewing again!


All of the other stuff posted lately has been wonderful too!

I do have an Easter dress to make Leighanna yet! I just have to figure out what I am doing!

I made the other wall hanging that is being offered from YCQT.
I think I may become a "quilter" after all!

I should have used my "walking foot" as I was finishing this! The sides got a little wonky from trying to sew through all those layers. I should have put a binding on it instead of trying to turn it right side out. Oh well, not too bad of an attempt for my second quilting project!

Oooh, so cute, nice job!

just got home from the doctor. Chianna is fine. just breast tissue. my baby is growing up and getting "****ies". She is so happy Im just happy it was nothing serious to worry about. thanks for your prayers.

YAY glad to hear it's just normal development!

I made this last year. I thought the blue one might be similiar to what you are looking for. They had it in red also. I got it at Hancocks.

Those are so cute, love love love that fabric!

Another thing-I keep having nightmares about our trip, and it's not for months! We're going to WDW in Dec with my parents, uncle, and brother, and they've put me in charge of planning *everything*-I've already booked two garden view rooms at the Poly and I've been going through the Unofficial Guide when I have time. I've already started making spreadsheets, etc and I'm going to make a folder for each adult listing all ressies/times, planned parks for each day, etc. But like last night, I had a dream that they'd given me they wrong dates and were peeved when I didn't have anything booked/planned. Weird.

I'm so glad Chianna is ok! That's great news - thanks for posting!

ADORABLE! I'm really excited about going back to Ohana's, now I just gotta figure out the "perfect outfit"! Thanks for posting the pic - I was trying to figure out if I want to do a halter style dress, and yours is really cute! More to consider...

I think this last fabric is going to be perfect! Thanks so much for helping me out - I think that's what I'm going to go with. The price is pretty good too - maybe I'll order enough to make myself a skirt as well.

Where do you ladies get the really cute polka dot mary janes shoes? I know someone posted it a while back but the search is not helping much, too many posts on the DIS about shoes lol. TIA!
