Kelly that is so pretty. You are really getting the hang of those stripwork skirts. Too cute. I love the colors. They really compliment Georgia.
 
UGh so frustrated with ATT! They where out here for 6 HOURS on Wednesday setting up new internet service and cable tv(uverse) well the idiot didn't do t right. when the idiot left he told George to call the office and they could just change something in the settings and it would be fie. So we believed him. Well NOOOOO they had to send some one out again yesterday. Th time SHOULD ahve been between 12pm -4pm they showed up at 8:45pm when the kids where already in bed!!! He rewired something out side and STILL could not get our internet working right! So now today he is sending line techs out UGH! They are not making a very good impression on me! Every one I talked to swore how wonderful they where well I can't stand them! UGH! Needless to say I can't see any of the stuff any one is posting picture wise because it takes too long to down load. I will go back and check everything once it is fixed if it is every fixed! though I have no doubt everything is stunning because you all are such talented ladies and gent:)
Sorry for the vent...
How early do you all start planning or making outfits for trips to Disney? We aren't going until October (I know I'm probably WAY too early now, is that possible? :lmao: ), but I know how busy the end of summer/fall can be and I'm naturally a procrastinator. :rolleyes1

I was wondering how far ahead it may be safe to start without fear of any MAJOR growth spurts. I'm thinking mainly dresses for the girls so I think I could always get away with something being a bit shorter...just add leggings or something?
I am going the 1st week in November and I have a few planned in my head but I haven't started anything... I told the kids this summer I would start them.

I know some of you may remember that a little while ago, I told you guys a little about our housing situation, asked you to pray for us.
WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!!!!!
We signed the papers on Tues, and we now are officially moving!!! I am really excited about it, although I will have to pack up my sewing machine and computer for a bit.
Thanks for all your prayers!
Congratulations!
This is probably a silly question...How important is the neatness of the zigzag stitch in carla c's portrait peasant? I've never done a zigzag & i think my machine needs some adjustments. It looks horrible, but does that REALLY matter? I wanted to get this outfit done before taking it in for servicing. Thanks for the advice.
It doesn't show right? If it doesn't show it is probably ok. She tells you to zig zag the edges so the fabric doesn't fry in the was. I use my over casing foot /stitch and do every piece of the pattern then do it again to hold it together. It might be over board but oh well.

Guess what everyone-

:love: Jim and I are celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary this weekend- on March 8th.!! :love:

29 years!! that sounds like such a long time! But it doesn't feel that way! We're gonna go to a B&B for the weekend. I'm really excited. BUT- I will miss you all! Be good while I'm gone!
That is amazing! I love hearing stuff like that! Have a wonderful anniversary and I wish you many more fanny pack wearing feather boa loving yrs together! Don't forget the boa on your special night!!!

Hi Guys,

Has anyone seen teenage mutant ninja turtle fabric in a store lately???? I need about 2 yards for some Easy Fit pants!!

THanks, Wendy
I thought I just saw it at Hancocks or maybe Joanns. I can't remember but I know I saw it.




Has any one see the new green Tink' am I cute or what' fabric? I know some one here used it and I LOVE it but I can't find it!!
 
Not for THAT price! I am sure if I had a girl she would have one! I have my Fisher Price Mandy and Jenny dolls (and Mikey too) from when I was kid. They are similar!

I've only been to the store once since it is on the other side of town from me and a huge hassle to get to but I do love the bitty twins.

OMGosh! I LOVE my friend Jenny! That was my FAVORITE doll growing up. I left her in the rain one time and she mildewed- my mom had to go buy another one. I am going to look for her next time I am home. I had Mandy and Mikey too, but didn't love them like I loved Jenny.

It came out great! I love how the colors all match! Nice job!
 

Well, you know I LOVE the fabric! The dress came out great and I love the quilt you made. I am thinking about bows for our upcoming trip but I can't decide because my Megan isn't much of a frilly girl.


Love the Elmo set! Our teachers painted thing shirts for themselves and they were so cute. They didn't color their hair though. :sad2:

REALLY!!!!! Someone must inform this woman on proper cricut questionnaire ettiquette.... starting with addressing the "Queen". :lmao: :lmao: :rotfl2::rotfl2: :lmao: :lmao:

Revrob, kjbrown... jessica, Tom...... anyone of you want to put Jennia in the know???? :rotfl: :rotfl:

Jennia- The cricut is probably one of the best things you will ever buy in your whole life......... especially if you tend to be crafty. Really- you will love it!

Oh yes, your royal queen-ness, how could we have forgotten? :rotfl:

WOOHOO! CONGRATS and have a great time.

Ooh, so the butterflies, etc on the dresser are also made with Cricut? I'll have to start looking around to try and figure out what I'd "need" to initially start with. Couldn't believe how much I spent on just some letters for titles in one day, definitely made me think about it.

Yes, all the decorations on the furniture were made with the Cricut. AND the best part is those particular things were from the cart that came with the Expression, so no extra $$. I got the vinyl really cheap at Lowe's (they were getting rid of it). :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

glad I could make you laugh;)

My Wal-Mart has it. Let me know if you need some.

I think it was me and yes I did buy it at Walmart :thumbsup2 .
So it is a walmart fabric! Same place that had my other fav Tink fabric! UGH my walmart doesn't sell material! Do you know how much it was? I found it on ebay and I am tempted to order it .

Is your other favorite Tink fabric the purple one? My Wal-mart has that one in stock too. I think that they were both $4.44 a yard.

How did you know:rotfl: The purple with Tink looking like she is back lit! I got 2 yards of that want i was in FL with my cousin. that is a good price! Let me see if i can get my cousin to check her Walmart we need to ship each other stuff any way but if hers doesn't have it I may be asking you a huge favor!
Does fabric that walmart has ever end up at say Joanns or Hancock?
I might call Walmart head quarters and see if any locations near me have fabric that I didn't realize.


OMG! i just called the 1 walmart I NEVER go to in the town I rarely go to bt is the next town over and they actually have a fabric section!!!!!!! I am such an idiot! I trusted 3 other Walmarts in the area telling me no dice on fabric in any walmarts in Northern IL!!!!! teach me to trust! Needless to say I look like crap but I am booking it over NOW just in case they decide to pack up and leave!

Forgot to say the ladies at www.youcanmakethis.com are the best! Not that we didn't know that, but as I mentioned earlier, I had won a copy of the Easy Fit Pants. Carla recently redid them with the new 6 month size. I emailed youcanmakethis and they sent me the update! They totally could have said no, it was free, but they sent it! Yeah for great customer service!! :thumbsup2

Very rarely will fabric from Wal-Mart show up at Hancock's and Joann's.
 
Here is my patchwork skirt. I took all of this time making sure the characters were placed perfectly in the center of each square. A lot of fabric gets wasted this way! As you can see, once it is gathered, you can't really see all of the characters well. I either needed to do bigger squares, or less, so they weren't gathered so much. Oh and DD hates the top. "It's white Mommy. It is not fancy enough."

Love the skirt...soo cute...and really I like the top too...what have we done wo our kids...when they start telling us that something is not fancy enough!:lmao: I knew I had gone to far and Patrick came home to tell me he needed a Kimono and he had already told his teacher I would sew him one!:confused3

here is Jenna this morning on the way out the door for school. The bow in her hair is from Kelly. She has already worn it twice this week and she wore it several times last week. She really likes the bow. The jacket that she is wearing I got at Wal-Mart yesterday morning. It was marked down from $16 to $5. Jenna was really excited to get it yesterday.


She is soooo cute!:goodvibes I got the major hook up at Walmart the other day too! I had to go shopping for my beloved :rolleyes: FIL's Birthday. I was able to get him 3 shirts, 1 sweater, 2 pairs of pants all for $2-$5 each!:cool1: And I bought me a t-shirt for $1 and one for my cousin for $1!!! I love good deals!

Glad to hear you and tiny bambino are doing well! Hope the bar went well, ugh, I remember DH taking it so many years ago and all the studying that came before.



Great job! And what a little red-headed cutie!

So here is Gillian's munchkin costume. We bought the shirt and the pants are of course, CarlaC's Easy Fit. The pageboy hat turned out cuter than I first thought. I think the flower helps. The director said to wear bright colors so this is what she chose:

th_IMG_6339.jpg
th_IMG_6341.jpg

How cute this all truned out!!!!

Here are some pictures of Grace wearing the outfits I made her. I already posted the one of her wearing the dress Cindee made her. We had a great trip except Grace had a occasional cough the whole trip. She would cough and then throw up after she was perfectly fine. We had taken her to the doctor before we left and he said she had bronchitis and we didn't need to cancel the trip. I was worried when she would cough because she was in the hospital before Christmas with pneumonia. I had posted pictures of her here back then you might remember. When we came home I went straight back to the doctor with her and he did a test on her. I got the call yesterday afternoon that she has whooping cough. :scared1: I am going to call Port Orleans Riverside in a little while to tell them to clean the room we were in and the crib very good. I would NEVER have gone had I known what she had. We were on the buses with other people and all. I am so upset. I mean between the coughing she was perfectly normal. I had NO clue. I pray that we didn't get anyone else sick. I am sorry for rambeling on but I know you all give good advice. If anyone has any I would appreciate it.

Well I guess I will show you my pictures of her outfits now.
Boutique bottoms and dress top

She is such a cutie pie! I hope you guys had a great time!

I was trying to figure a way to stretch a few more hours into my days and it is just NOT working. I have three outfits to finish right now, well one is done but two are only started one is about 1/4 and the other hardly cut out... but I needed a break, and then I sat down to attempt to catch up and 3 hours later I am finally here.

You guys all do such amazing work, I am always so inspired by everything I see here :)

Thought I'd share my weeks work with you too :)

Saturday/Sunday was an Elmo set, my 2nd attempt at applique, I think it turned out well. No pattern, just cut and sew, I seam to do so much better that way LOL.

Great job on all of these! Love your St. Patrick's Day outfits...my Patrick would kill for those...he is still thinking this is his day!:lmao:

Guess what everyone-

Welcome over! I see the post was put up for the bows...so I won't repost! But if you hang around long here you will be sewing!!!


Now...I need advice...

Since DH got back from his meeting in Vegas, I made the comment that I would like to go someday...someday I said...not now...I have NEVER EVER flown! So anyway...he wants to go for our anniversary in July. Tell me...how do you get over the fear of flying:scared1: and once I get past that...anybody got ideas on how to get good deals for Vegas? I have checked Southwest...is that the best way to go? I have looked at other sites, but all the packages have you doing layovers....I'm just telling you...I want a non-stop flight...no taking off and landing mulitple times. :scared:

This is SO adorable, I love that you used different colors than what's normally associated with Seuss clothing.
 
We've all been taking turns getting sick this week- AGAIN!!! Today was Tessa's turn. I thought we were all better yesterday, so I had my friend's little girl over to spend the night. Unfortunately, we probably exposed her to it, too. NOT good because her mom (my best friend, Jenny) had surgery this week and just got out of the hospital last night. UGH! I hope she doesn't get it!!

Anyway, Ryen, my friend's little girl, has always wanted a Mermaid skirt with a tail. So, I took her to Walmart yesterday and let her pick out fabric. I had no idea how I was going to do it, but I kinda figured it out. It was surprisingly easy to make. I did the applique by hand. Jessica has a point with it being faster to do them by hand sometimes. This would have taken me forever to digitize, hoop, and then embroider on the machine. But, it was pretty fast by hand.

This outfit was for her 4th birthday (last year I made her a princess dress out of sheets and a pink underdress that you may remember). She kept saying "Oh Heather, thank you so much for making me a mermaid tail. I just can't believe you made this for me." I'd sew that kid anything she wants! :rotfl:

Ryen says that Sawyer is her boyfriend. I guess he agrees! What is up with my kids and young love?! :rolleyes:
