Disboutiquers Part 12 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[MinnieVanMom]

Okay, just couldn't resist posting a picture of three out of my four boys. The seal point on the left is the 16 year old cat that was just missing for 6 days. Cat on the right is the big boy (8mo). Cutie in the middle is DS7 and of course he's napping under a princess blanket I made for DD9 when she was 4.

16 years old, that is good for a cat. They are adorable and it is funny that we all have Siamese cats. Mom, has about 9 or 10 Siamese. I like Siamese, look at my avatar.

Hi all! I hope everybody had a great weekend! I did...I went to visit my parents and went to see my Granny. She is doing so much better! It is truly amazing how different she is from just a few weeks ago. She is trying hard!

I got some great time with some of my friends. We went to eat lunch...kid free, something I NEVER do! But funny part is, since I have been working out and watching what I eat...I could hardly eat anything. But it was just fun hanging out with them!

I also did some fabric shopping and got some great fabric to make Patrick's teacher a bag. She loves frogs, almost as much as Patrick, so I found this fabric that is about frogs and school. Patrick said he needs a shirt too!

I have a lot to catch up on...you guys have been chatty!!!!!

Yeah for your granny! It has to make you feel so nice to see her doing better. I will continue to pray for her recovery. Sorry about not being able to eat very much. ARe you eating more now? How are you feeling? You should post pictures of the fabric up and of the shirt.

This board does move fast. I can only multi post about 3 clicks and then I have write and answer and do it again. So, I took up 2 pages yesterday.

got everything put away. I took everything off the shelves and then put it back in color order- lightest to darkest, colored groups of prints etc . . . Then I organized all the dots- light to dark and small to large. I am telling you I can not squeeze on scrap of fabric on these shelves! Good thing I am going 100 days without shopping.

If I had all that, I would never leave my studio! Ever!! LOL What a happy place!

Thanks for the prayers....I wanted to share this with everybody too. She is really having trouble with not always being able to find the right words and it really frustrates her. She was talking to me and was trying to find the word for "picture" but just couldn't get it out. She finally laughed and said she may have to say more prayers to get all her words out right...but then she worried that her words for that might not be right, so I needed to pray for her. I told her "Oh Granny I pray for you everyday. And I'm not the only one, all my friends that sew all of the country are praying for you and I know that's why you are healing so well." We both cried and then she told me to tell you Thank you! So know that even though you all don't know my Granny, she loves you all!

Oh I feel great. I have just been dieting and just really don't eat as much as I was. I am walking 3 miles everyday and lift twice a week. I have lost a big 10 pounds! I am so exctied! I really just wanted to get in better health for my children.

Oh, he wasn't. In fact, he always pouts when I put him in anything. Collar even. Boogs, on the other hand, *loves* to get dressed up. The next year they were "corn dogs". Get it?! Ok, baaaaad joke. Poor dogs.

Hehehehe that is soo darn cute!

OK! Thats it... I say we all head for a sewing party at Aimee's house! I am sure we can get that stash down for you REAL quick in no time at all. hehehe Good luck on your 100 days of no shopping.

Oh, you just brought tears to my eyes. Granny is just wonderful and praying for all my friends brings peace to me and I know God is listening and He does answer. Tell Granny, I know about the words things and it will get a bit better but never back to normal. She is right, just laugh at what you can't control and thank God for what you can. It is frustrating but just keep working the brain. It does rewire but never back to perfect, just different.

Good for you for working out! Do you feel better after working out? 3 miles is a great walk and lifting. Wow, you are doing great to loose 10 lbs! WTG! Your motives of wanting to be healthy for your children is a great reason and the best. It also teaches them good health. Keep it up. I am just trying to tone and be in shape. Now that I hit 50 things are sliding down fast.

Aimee, your fabric room is amazing. It is better than the store. I like your fabric better too. Girl you are organized. I am leaving soon and while I am gone you can come and do my entire house. No really, you should be very proud of yourself for the hard work, it look super.

This is beautiful. What a sweet gesture on your part to make this for her.

Your fabric shelves are a thing of beauty. Amazing.

Did you curve the band like the top? I know wen I make the Round neck pattern the band at the bottom is rounded like the base of the top.

Curve the band like the top... now there's an idea. I feel a bit silly. Perhaps I've been overdoing the cold medicines. I'll give it a go! Thanks

This is really cute! Did you applique all of the letters by hand or with your embroidery machine?

I am sooooo jealous. I spent all day yesterday organizing my space and fabrics and I have NOTHING compared to you. I am going to take pictures tonight of my little shelf!

I told her "Oh Granny I pray for you everyday. And I'm not the only one, all my friends that sew all of the country are praying for you and I know that's why you are healing so well." We both cried and then she told me to tell you Thank you! So know that even though you all don't know my Granny, she loves you all!

That is wonderful! I feel truly blessed to have so many "friends" who actually care about people they haven't really met. It is hard to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it.

Congrats on the big 10!! I am starting my new diet today.

Hunter in the park getting air:

Me in Blue, my teacher in red, check out the degree of steep by looking at the tree line. We are in the mogul field. The moose was down on the right.

Holy crud! Look at you go! Love that moose! hehehe Hunter looks great. Georgia sooo wants to go and try her some snow boarding, but I got to work on that one first. I dont know if she really understands you can't move your feet around and "walk". I love that fact she wants to "try" these things, but know that there is a 90% chance when we get there she wont. Oh how I want to be in the snow!

My original thought was it would be a good lower back pillow for the days of scrapping we'll be doing! I used the FREE "Thanks a Melon" ebook on YCMT for the instructions and found a font I liked online.

That's really cute. I bet it will be perfect for lower back support.

LISA! We may need to talk! I LOVE the letters!!!! Timmy has a thing for letters...he likes to spell and read all of the time...funny little kid! He would love those shirts!

LOL, Zoe even likes these. She rarely wants me to make her anything so I was pleased when she asked me to make a special tee for her 100th day of school. Initially it was just going to be an applique of the numbers with a crown on each but I showed her a sketch of the numbers as monsters (with crowns) and she loved it. I got it made yesterday (100th day is tomorrow) and she said she really wanted to wear it today but will wait. I'm hoping the feedback at school is positive so she'll be more inclined to let me make more things for her.

WOW! I am really jealous now. I so need to get something to wrap my fabric on so I can start getting things organized.

BTW - Isn't it amazing that no matter how much fabric one has, it's still so hard to stop buying more? I suspect there's a conspiracy on the part of the fabric manufacturers because they keep bringing out new print lines.

Thanks! That is done "by hand" I don't have an emboidery machine. I haven't decided if I want one.

I am going to a scrapboking weekend in March. My sister is one of the coordinators, ao I made this pillow for her as a surprise. (The weekend is called Camp Crop-a-Lot) I had some time while I was waiting for a package of blank tees, so I whipped this up in a few hours.

I am going to a scrapbooking camp this spring. I'm an instructor. I think I need to make one of these for myself! Yours turned out fabulous! Great job!

WOW! That's beautiful! I'd be afraid to pull anything out for fear that I wouldn't put it back in the right place!

What an adorable picture! It cracks me up to hear people say that Siamese are mean--thanks Lady and the Tramp! They are really loveable and "talk" to you and Mai Li follows me around like a puppy. Wherever I go, she follows!

People come into my house and the first thing they say is "are your cats mean?" These guys couldn't be more lovable and they will curl up in anyone's lap that stays still long enough.

I love how you just "whipped this up," it would take me all week! Really cute, you are a good sis.

16 years old, that is good for a cat. They are adorable and it is funny that we all have Siamese cats. Mom, has about 9 or 10 Siamese. I like Siamese, look at my avatar.

That is funny. I would love to get another young one so my kitten had someone to play with. The 16 year old has no interest in playing.

This is so pretty, I would just sit and admire it all day!

Moose:

So cool! We go to Maine every summer and I have never seen a moose. We see signs of Moose but so far, nothing!
