Everyones stuff is so great. I love how most of you were great from the start. I am still trying to figure things out!
I remember this dress. It is so cute and look at little Georgia's tiny self.
 
BTW...DH has about 3-4 hours to kill in Vegas before meetings start...does anybody have a suggestion of something non-drinking, non-gambling, non-stripper he can do. That's a hard one I know:lmao:

A few suggestions (cavet, it's been a couple years since we were there, so some things may be gone, that town moves fast....in a lot of ways):


Liberace Museum
Aquarium at the Mandolay Hotel
Nellis Air Force Base, check to see if Thunderbirds are performing or if it's a time when they allow tours of some parts of the base.
Cirque de Soleil
Fantastic art museum at the Bellagio (and check out the over the top "luxuries" of this hotel
Old Las Vegas (downtown which is NOT the strip, Freemont Street etc)
Roller Coaster at the NY NY hotel
Red Rock Canyon (west of the Strip a bit) it's a national park and very pretty, lots of cacti and hiking
Chinatown is fun to explore, but the food is pretty "mall" like (to appeal to the American taste buds sadly)
Madame Toussauds at the Venetian

For all of Vegas' faults they are trying to become more of a "family friendly" destination. Still not what we'd do for a vacation, but I guess if you have a gambler in the family better to go as a family.
 
Thank you for all the nice comments I think I am gonna do the bow! Oh and trust me she cracks us up all the time! my DH says its like she went to little girl school! princess:
 
What in the world is Disney's homeschool days?

Wow, delurking twice, lol....sorry for the intrusion.....

But I wanted to let you know that while the Homeschool days are a LOT of fun, if you're not able to go in January or September when they hold them, you can still attend the YES (Youth Education Series) classes. You need 10 children to make your own "group".....and we simply got ahold of homeschool groups in Orlando and asked if any of the locals wanted to join us (check yahoogroups for Florida homeschoolers then write to the owner privately for permission to post, so far I've never been told I couldn't but it's an etiquette thing to ask when you're joining just to advertise, lol)....the first time we ended up with only 14 kids which was fine, but the second time we set it up in November we had 43 kids in 3 different classes.

Here's a website about the homeschool days:

http://disneyyouthgroups.disney.go.com/wdyp/programs/programOverview?page=HSDProgramOverviewPage

They have a separate website just for homeschooler, but I can't find it right now, sorry. Besides, other parts of the above link will show you the other YES classes that they offer if you're making your own group. Email Disney's YES program and ask them to include you in the homeschool mailing, since it appears that the fall 2009 program isn't yet posted.
 

Auntie is going out of town today so I am going to post the picture of her sharing with the kids.:thumbsup2

The kids had such a good time.

Now when she gets back in town she might never sew for me again. :lmao:

I'm not gone yet! I'm lurking this morning! Shame on you poohnpigletCA. Shame on you.
 
I leave in 8 days!

Any quick ideas on something I can come up with for a girly dino outfit when I take Hannah to T-Rex? It was last minute ;)

Hmmm... the only thing I can think of off hand would be a cute Dorothy the Dinosaur outfit. You know, from The Wiggles. In fact, I think Jessica just did a really cute Dorothy t-shirt.

I sorta got bad news at the doctor today. I have had 3 surgeries since having my c section delivery. My last surgery was about 3 or 4 months ago, and I had these cysts on my ovaries. I usually have cysts but apparently these were what he called "the bad kind". He told me today that I have endometriosis on my ovaries. Apparently they forgot to call and tell me when my pathology reports came in. He said it took longer than my follow up visit.
He talked about some kind of shot that started with an L to make my body think I am in menopause because he really doesn't want to do a full hysterectomy just yet. We've been talking about the hysterectomy for about a year now I think. My uterus has issues too.. :laughing:
Anywho.. just needed to vent a little. If anyone has any experience with this shot(Luprin I think?) let me know please. Kinda scares me, but at least it isn't as bad at having a hysterctomy!

I'll be posting my Minnie and Mickey Vida soon and my Mardi Gras outfit... just not tonight!

:goodvibes

I have no experience with Luprin. I just wanted to offer a :hug:

Okay, accomplishment time for me. I SHIRRED!!!! :banana: :woohoo: :woohoo: :cheer2: :cheer2: :cheer2: :woohoo: :woohoo: :dance3: :dance3: :banana:

(It is solid black. It's kinda distorted in the picture. I think because of the flash.)

I think it is perfect. Nice job. I was intimidated at first, too. Now shirring is my preferred method for finishing the neck and sleeves on my peasant shirts.

Aimee...can we see a picture of your stash??? Pretty please???? I am that addicted. I need to see stashes. Sick I know :sad2:

I'm not Aimee, but here is a pick of mine. Well, actually just part of mine. Sad, I know. I really have a problem. Also, this was taken a while ago. I have since organized it and straightened it up a bit more.

The opposite wall is full of fabric and I have another closet with fabric in it, too.

Sure! I am going to get it all tidy this weekend and then snap a few pictures. Right now it is sort of overflowing to say the least. I was working on putting everything in its place two days ago and got sidetracked.

Wait, Aimee. You should take some before and after pics for us.

Thought I'd share what I *do* make until Mom gets here & we can get some stuff made.

I'm also working on ones for teams of the SEC (since my alma matter is part of the SEC, I have to start there!)

No, they're not on etsy yet. I'm trying to get a little inventory built up. I'm also involved in some Christmas decorating sites, and have promised a few of them as prizes for a contest. They're fun to make, but they take a long time!

Those are so pretty!!! I hope they do well for you. So, where did you go to school? I am an LSU Tiger myself.

sorry no new pictures of Ireland...we are also busy planning our spring break vacation...right now our choices are St Thomas or Maui...Maui is winning!! I'm thinking of making the ressies today...I just need to make sure we can get the hotel we want...anywho, got to run and take a shower. We are getting a new sprinkler system put in today, and they just informed me that the water might have to be shut off for a little while...egads..what next.

Wow, Lexie sure is growing up. Maui sounds like a lot of fun. I did a summer semester at the University of Hawaii. Oh yeah!!! Like I really got any studying done. LOL!!!

Wow, delurking twice, lol....sorry for the intrusion.....

Cool. Thanks for the info.

I'm loving the trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, I don't have any of my earlier creations on the computer. I will have to see if I can scan some pics.

Ya'll were talking about the hot fix rhinestones. Here are some transfers I bought at Wal-Mart and put on my girls' pirate hats.

Okay, sorry for the huge side ways pic of my stash. In photobucket, it is right side up. Hmmmm.
 
HELP ME!

Ok ladies, now maybe that wasnt totally called for! haha but seriously:rotfl2:

Are you ready? No no its not Im going to Disneyland, but

I have a date!!!

Ok Im really nervous and on the verge of backing out. I left and opening to be able to get out of it! He is a super nice guy and we have soooo much in common, but I am scared to all heck. Just something new. Georgia left this morning to go to her dads for the night. She wanted to go, it normally would be my weekend, but she misses her daddy.

I dont know how to "date". Help me. Calm me down. I need it. haha I am really excited but at the same time, just really nervous.

Ok back to your sewing and reading. See I almost want to say no and just stay home and sew. Oh man what is wrong with me!?!
 
Ok we are off to a DVC event at the comedy club in Chicago! Well outside of Chicago but still. I am hoping for some Disney magic on this snowy day!!!!
I was going to have Nik wear her HM shirt I made her and her petti skirt but since it is snowing she might have to wear her boots and the shirt is black and her boots are brown UGH! Think any one will notice?? Kyle will wear his Buzz shirt I made for our trip. I know bad mommy I should have made them customs just for the event but I didn't. Oh well.

We got an invitation to that! I so wanted to go!!! But, it's a bit far to drive!

Hi! Boy we have been busy. I am working on something now...but I'm not sure if it will get done before spring. Lexie and Ireland are in dance class 4 days a week and Ireland is still in gymnastics, so we are always on the go.
Here are some recent photos...

Lexie's birthday...she got the DS she wanted, and new bike, and bunch of other stuff and dinner at T-Rex at Downtown Disney

Hi Guys,

Im home alone till tomorrow am!! In all my years, I have never been alone at home at night!! Im a little askeered!!! Thank goodness my huge 14lbs of fur is here to protect me!! She is fierce!!!! Im a little askeered though!!! If anyone is up late, I'll prob be on!!

its time to tackle the heart quilt!!! Thanks to all who have helped me with the triangles!!!

Have a GREAT DAy!!:wizard:

You will be ok! :hug:
Seriously though?? You've never been home alone at night? When we first got married, Brian worked nights so I had to get use to it pretty quickly. I didn't like it much, that's for sure!

Auntie is going out of town today so I am going to post the picture of her sharing with the kids.:thumbsup2

UH OH!!!!! :scared1:

Is it wrong that we do not go to Disney World until October and I already have outfits planned for everyday. Tell me this is normal?

October?? I would say you are a little behind! :rotfl2:

Okay, sorry for the huge side ways pic of my stash. In photobucket, it is right side up. Hmmmm.

It looks right side up and tiny to me!
HELP ME!

Breathe Kelly, breathe!!! You will go on the date and you will have fun! And, when you come back you are going to tell us all about it! :hug:



Now, all of a sudden I have a strong craving for cookies... :confused3 Weird. I don't even really like cookies that much. :confused3
 
Teresa, you know I should have sent ya cookies! I just made 6 dozen cookies for family fun night last night at Georgia's school! hahaha and 2 dozen cup cakes too. I took pictures I will send some cookie love via picture your way .haha less fat no calories that way! bwahahahaha

Ok, Im taking a deep breath in, and going to the fabric store! hehehe that will help, right??

I love everyones early day creations. ITs so cute to see all the DIS babies as well babies! Adorable.

Is it wrong that we do not go to Disney World until October and I already have outfits planned for everyday. Tell me this is normal?

NOPE!! I was just putting away our suitcase from a vacation the last week of January ( yes I am a procrastinator) and instead of putting it away, I just packed for my daughter for Disney. WE are leaving April 28th. I packed the outfits, the bows and the bling....in my "Disney mind" I figured this was just saving steps. Want to know what is really SICK???? All of the outfits I put in have been taken to Disney previously and not worn ( the horror!!!) So this trip is a "one custom per day" and also a "Use them or lose them" trip! I'm already stressing because I don't have any "princess" customs. Just Minnie, and Nemo, and Tink, and Wall E and Wishes (oops that was worn last trip, but only for fireworks and pics) and Jesse/Bullseye. I think I am at 6 customs:) I also have a patchwork twirl skirt that was packed last time but not worn, but I need to add an underskirt to complete it. So there we have it.....7! ( BUT I really want a princess one, and I have a smocked custom in the works too:)) See already I am going crazy:)

That is so awesome!!! I had no clue they offered this! I am so excited! We will definitely have to check this out! Thank you!:yay:
 
LOL - Maureen, if you make it with just 7 customs, I will be shocked! ;)

No!!!!!! Aimee don't you go posting pictures of you beautiful organized stash!!! It will give us all stash envy and will put (my) organization skills to shame!!! Seriously, I could frame your picture and hang it in my sewing area as a reminder of what a nicely organized area looks like!! ;)

Kellie,

You have a date and your already thinking babies, girl you move fast. :rotfl: Just kidding! Go on the date, it is good to get out. Just pretend he is a friend and not a date. You are going out, no big deal.
 
Thanks to everyone who helped me with my question about bows. I made DD one and she loves it. I'm pretty proud of it myself. I'll have to get her to post a pictures.

Now I have another question if you don't mind. DD will go to her first prom in April. She tells me she needs a garter. Apparently all the girls wear one and at some point their date removes them (in a ceremony of some sort, at the prom) and saves them as a keepsake. Anyone know what they should look like? It seems that some are quite elaborate and expensive. I have no clue. I've looked up garters on line but they don't look prom-ish to me.

Wendy you will be fine. Have a nice glass of wine and enjoy the you time. IF you get nervous you can call me. I have valium, it works nice and I will share.

MiniGirl, that is a very nice room of fabrics. I think it looks good. Mine is in a bid.


They are really too cute. They look so happy.
