So I am proud to say that I have "completed" my first custom. I still have to close the neckline and sleeves and I am putting a star near eve on the front. I think the shirt might be a little short but it is hard to tell. She is only 15 mo. and still has that baby belly so the skirt kinda hangs a little lower there. I guess I can always add another ruffle if it is too short when it comes time to wear it. I had a little trouble with the applique but am pretty happy with my first try. There are some boo boo's and I need to cut some strings but here it is. Sorry the pics are big and kinda fuzzy. I got a new camera and still getting used to photobucket.

This is adorable. I think the shirt looks fine. You do want to see more of the skirt prints. If she grows, and think it's too small. You can add another ruffle to make it longer.

I found the 1st things I ever used my sewing machine for!

Those are cute, but the dog in the peas doesn't look too happy about being dresses up.

I love these pictures and Kyle is cute pouting in the corner.

I like your stash! Controlled Not lilke mine! Where did you get your dress form? I would love to find one!

Considering that my stash is "hidden" I think all of everyones pictures are great. I have fabric stashed under my bed, under the sewing machine table, in the trunk of my car, in my daughters bedroom....well you get the point right?

I'm sorry that you have to hide your stash. I wouldn't be able to find a place big enough to hide my stash.

Yup, I'm there!

Well, Here it is. The grand reveal!!! The corset top and ruffled capris and of course my little ham:

She Loves it!!! She will have to wait until it's a bit warmer to wear it though!

That is so very cute. The corset is very classy paired with the capris. I think that when I get my Cardiff pattern in I will pair it with the corset top for an outfit for Jenna.

Too cute!! Very good job.

Krissy!! That looks fabulous!! I love the fabrics you choose for the skirt! (check your PM's BTW! )

 

[Haganfam5]

Thank you so much ladies! I do have quite the poser! She is just too funny. She is a boutiquers dream. She loves to dress up and try things on and got so excited today when I showed her that one. Her inner diva (yes diva at 5!) comes out when she dresses up! I better just enjoy every minute of it while I can!

Hi Ladies!

Her Wiggles outfit which started the need for a themed outfit for every event.

Here are a few of my favorites:
For her big sisters cheer comp.

Halloween 2007:

Disney 2008:

This is the last dress I made her. It was for the first day of our homeschool group. She was going to "pre-school". She didn't end up going to her class. We are still working on that

Sorry, I forgot to the look at the clothes because you family is too darn cute.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Well, here it is. My first corset completed. I cannot wait until my DD gets home from grandma's tomorrow so she can try it on! She is going to go nuts! I just have to figure out whether I want to do a skirt or some capris to go with it. I will see how it looks on her first.

You did a super job and looks great.

Ok I am back from my date. It was nice, but interesting all the same. haha
Here I am before going out
And just since I am here and we were talkin cookies earlier... here is my cookie making adventure!

enjoy! hehe

I am so glad you went out. You are beautiful and it sounds like it was a nice date. Also, the cookies are good too! Now, you must keep dating. It is good to go out. I am proud because it is a hard thing to do and you did it.

Hi ladies!! WOW this thread moves incredibly fast! You need your very own board just to talk about sewing, sheesh!

I posted only once a while ago after getting a new sewing maching intending to only do embroidery/applique....but guess what?? I fell into the spell of youcanmakethis.com and ended up making an outfit.

We're going to Disney in two weeks and will be there over St. Patrick's day. My MIL is making a ton of other outfits but I didn't have anything for the day in which we wear green! So I made something.

BUT I can't show you because I don't have enough posts. I guess I need to get busy.

Can I just tell you this is the first thing I HAVE EVER SEWN??? The patterns at youcanmakethis.com are just soooooo easy to follow. It was like having my best friend there helping! YAY!

Which is the swimming and walking on with the Wii? Is it really workin for ya?

I am sorry. I do Wii aerobics, 1st the short run, then the 20 minute step on fast, then then hula advance, then a short run again and if I have any time left over I do the ski race.

Then I swim in the pool in a harness and do about 15 minutes, then tan and later in the day I walk about 1/2 mile. Not far but it is outside.

Today was 2.5 hours of hard snowboarding on hardpack. We did an exercise of turning in moguls. I did say snowboards right? We did this 3 times, 2 in pretty steep black diamond conditions. My legs are screaming. But I live to tell the tale.

I also saw a moose and white marmot on the mountain.

Is it all working? I don't know, I will tell you if I do ok walking for miles in Disney in a little over a week. I did gain some weight but it is water so I expect to drop a 1 or 2 pounds before I leave...I hope.

Thanks for asking and sorry about not being clear. There is no swim on Wii.

Minnie Van Mom - how was snowboarding today?

Minnie Van Mom - how was snowboarding today?

Hi Wendy,

How are you? How was being alone at night? Are you doing ok? What did you do to keep busy?

Snowboarding was hard. DH, DSS and my teacher all rode with me today. DH was teaching the teacher and we went up Thunder to a black diamond run. Now I don't mind blacks but black with mogals on a snowboard is not fun. The mental stuff kicked in hard and I froze up but there is only 1 way down. Then we did it again in a lower area of the same run. I finally said that I can't just do the exercise unless we break it down into little steps. So we went over to Casper and Wide Open, once again filled with mogals. I did get the pop turn a few times but at this point I was feeling worked. So what do we do, we hit the trees. I went in switch and it was bad but I made it out and into....another mogal field! My legs were screaming and I actually wanted to get down fast because there was a moose to the right. So I did a heelside slide down to the moose. It was fun to see it just eating on the trees. Then DH took off and my teacher and I saw a white marmot with a black tip tail. He looked like a white mink. Very cute.

We caught up with the boys and we back up Casper but then to the left and had a play time. After that I said I was done, and I was. I did fall but didn't hit my head. I was pushed beyond my comfort zone and I tried hard to learn a technique that will help me with making turns in the steeps.

Wendy, thank you for remembering that on Sundays I ride. I am taking next Sunday off to get ready for Disney.....or not. If I ride the day goes by very fast.

WOW - that sounds AMAZING!! I think if you can do all that, you'll be fine at Disney!! You must be getting so excited!! How does Hunter do in the parks?

I kept on the message boards and facebook until I just fell asleep - lol!!I was so happy when daylight hit!! Thanks so much for thinking of me!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Here is some stuff I made for my nephew. As you may remember I did this applique for Kyle and it was AWFUL well I still hate it! UGH I think it is the little circles for wheels. Maybe that is why they suggest using buttons

This is my nephews outfit to match my niece's round Neck dress.

I still want to make a bucket hat to match.

It is all so cute.

Here is some from the DVC event yesterday.
1st up Gene of the Lamp and his buddy aladdin!

Not sure why Kyle is making a face. My guess is because it wasn't Mickey or Pluto. Las time Pluto was there and he was kind of bummed he wasn't.

Now we are off to

Where we get shrunk down to 6 inches. Kyle was a pain in the butt still because he said he didn't feel the pixie dust. Then the fact he would have to see Tink UGH! I was not happy with him! Neither was Tink! LOL
first Tink had Nik twirl because she loved her skirt. Seh said it looked like a flower and her friend Rossetta would love it

Tink yelling at Kyle because he was being a pain in the you know what!

Talking to Nik

yelling at Kyle some more who has now made it past Tink to the other corner to try to hide

I think secretly He really liked Tink but he wouldn't admit it! Just look at the smile on his face!

I love this picture! Tink was so cute and sweet! We really need to go visit her next trip!

Next is Mickey and Minnie who where shaking their groove thing on the dance floor!

Kyle wouldn't leave Mickey's side! He fallowed him around the dance floor and wouldn't let any one near him!

The big Mouse himself! I love this shot!

Nik doing the Thriller dance and Kyle looking LOST with out Mickey! Can I just tell you Nik rocked that skirt! Every one commented on it she was loving the attention. She was always the little show off! She is a trip!

Sorry to hijack the thread! Back to sewing !

Thank you for posting the pictures. It all looks so much fun. Did they try to get you to buy more points? The characters are great! It looks like a good time was had. The kids clothes look great and your boy reminds me of my DSS who acts like he is not thrilled but loves the princess. Do they do the events often? Do they give you drinks? Niki is super dancing! I am happy you had fun and shared the pictures with us.

OK...So I am almost ashamed to post my little tiny work shop, but here it is. It is very small I usually only purchase 1 yard at a time for my daughters customs, but sometimes, if I think that I can sell it - I will purchase more, just in case!

I save everyting!! So here it is...and some day I hope to be at AimeeG's level...truly!! I took an old Entertainment center we had in my son's room, and rather than scrapping it and speding money on what I really wanted (and it was at Ikea-dark brown bookshelfes on clearance for $75) I re-used this...for now!!! LOL!! The baskets I had bought a year ago and they really were not in good use...so re-used them as well. I do have another sewing machine behind this area on a long built in desk where I do most of my work...the one in the picture is set up just do to my ruffling!! LOL! It is broken, but it ruffles with clear thread...so it works for me!

I have since purchased some thread and bobbin organizers...but they're not in the pics.

Ok, you are also very organized and can come over to my house anytime to organize here. It looks very very neat.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I was writing my list of "todo's" when someone knocked on the door. I answered it and when I came back, here is what I found:

Guess I can't do any work! Why do cats always lay on what you are reading or writing?

Anyway, I ordered a new computer. It won't be here until after the middle of March. I am hoping that faster speed and more memory will enable me to post more. Right now, this computer freezes a lot when I try to reply or quote (and forget multiquote!) It is really, really old! Kinda like me! I often see really nice things that I want to comment on, but by the time I get the computer to work right--many others have already commented and said the things I wanted to say!

Piper, have you seen the pictures of HK, (Hunter's Kitten) I think we have twin cats. What is your cat's name? She or He? And yes they always lay on what you need to be doing. HK is always on the material, patterns sewing table. She is just that way. Very very cute kitty.

What kind of computer did you get? What are the spec's? Make sure you do backups and also keep it clean.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

That is a great first outfit and she is adorable.

Ok, I am finally caught up! Sorry for all the posts but I can't stack very many things because I forget. This is a very fast board and going out for the day makes it hard to catch up.

Have a great nite.

WOW - that sounds AMAZING!! I think if you can do all that, you'll be fine at Disney!! You must be getting so excited!! How does Hunter do in the parks?

Wendy, I woke and thought of you being alone so I just asked God to give you peace and keep you calm. I am sorry you were awake most of the night. Do you feel ok today? It sounds like you kept busy and made good use of your time. That helps it go by fast. I get creeped out being alone here because there is nothing where I live. I hear every sound the house makes. It is creepy so you did great.

Hunter in the parks??? I can't go in with big expectations but we work hard on ABA programs about staying on my leg or in his stroller. He knows the drill but still if he sees something he is lightening fast and I can't catch him. He is also small so if it is a parade I can't see him if he works his way up front.

Wendy, I love disney so much with Hunter because for the short period of time it seems that the autism fades and he is more like all the little kids in Disney, just happy to be there, melting down and all the things that the NT's do. For a period in time, we fit into the world. I guess that is why there is Disney because it is for dreamers. I am sorry, I can't put it down in words how special it is to us. Hunter was speaking like a normal toddler develops, he could say please, thank you, no, yes. Little word and one day he woke up and it was all gone. He didn't speak, he didn't look at me, I never heard I love you mommy. But we went to Disney and out of the blue after a year, on the bus he starts to sing. Only 1 time "Bus, Bus, Bus, Bus, my bus". That was it! Right then and there I knew he could speak again but we just didn't have the right way to make it come out. But at Disney my little boy spoke again.

Now, with so many trips back he is a chatter box. He is very polite and starts everything with "excuse me, I have to tell you something". It was an ABA program but program or not, he speaks.

Wendy, thank you for asking about Hunter in the parks. It is very dear to my heart and why we keep going back to Disney. It is an escape, a dream, and for short time, we are normal.
