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!

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.

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? ), but I know how busy the end of summer/fall can be and I'm naturally a procrastinator.

Planning, as soon as I get back from a trip. Actually making, usually the week before if I start early. Otherwise a couple of days! I wouldn't suggest that way but it works for me!

Eyore4Ever149 - Super cute outfits! I love the MM one your daughter is wearing in the picture! I know we have seen it before but it is so cute!

Coteau Chick - Wow! Your daughters outfits were great! The pillowcases worked perfect! sorry about the whooping cough.

And to everyone else I actually played with cricut today! It was so much fun! I bought SCAL this morning and used it this afternoon! I can't wait to try with some pictures soon!

Cricut question-
Is it really worth it in the long run? After spending about 40 dollars on chipboard letters this week, I'm starting to look into getting one. What are the pros/cons to having one? Anyone want to share examples of what they've made using their Cricut? TIA!

I have really enjoyed my cricut. I don't have pics, but I need to take some. I have some autograph books that need to go out, so maybe I'll take pics before I send them out. One word of caution. Don't let people know that you have one, or that you know how to use it! I've spent the last several weeks working on cutting 50 scrapbooks. They're cut out of chipboard, and each page is a part of the shape of a house. Yesterday I got word that I have to cut 30 more! For a retreat next weekend! Yes, I'm totally stressed! SO... be warned. Don't let anyone know that you know what you're doing1

Karen is much better for answering this question but I just love crafty things. If you like chipboard letters and do something with them alot then I would say yes! It has to be so much cheaper to cut your own!

I felt like buying it that it could be a money pit! I mean I love all things crafty and like to have enough to do fun things with so that would mean I would need more cartridges and paper and chipboard and stamp stuff, etc. So far I have hardly touched it until today for 2 reasons. One being I hadn't bought anything for it even though I wanted to and secondly because I didn't know what I would do with it. I really have nothing in particular to use it for in a way but I just like having it.

I think it will be great for school projects in the future and I am about to figure out how to make it cut my fabric! Linnette did some really cute letters that the cricut cut for her. I have scrapbooking supplies but really have never done anything with them yet. Now I feel like I can because I can make my own titles and what not!

This morning I found a few videos of this lady demonstrating how to do it and what it does (the sure cuts alot program) and that helped so much just seeing it done. Of course I have never watched the DVD that came with the machine yet.

Jham posted some totally awesome things she has done with hers for school things.

80 scrapbooks! You gotta take pictures! I'll have to remember that. It is funny how once someone learns you have this or that or know how to do this or that how many friends you get!

Just a heads up on using SCAL with a Cricut. It voids the warrenty. So if you are worried about your machine breaking in the first year don't download SCAL. Sure it is really great in that you don't have to buy cartridges, but you are out of luck the cricut dies before the warrenty is up.

On that note, I love my Cricut. You do have to have the deep cut blade to cut chipboard, but it is worth the extra money.

Love the Thing 1 & 2 dresses. The red fish/blue fish shirt is great also. I wish Aly didn't have to wear uniforms to school.

The Disney patchwork skirt! Oh my goodness! Adorable. I love all of the different fabrics.

We have a loose tooth also, but Aly wants it to come out at school. The teachers make a really big deal about it.

Hope Grace is getting better with the whooping cough. She looks precious in all of her outfits.

I love this, especially the colors they are Aly's favorites.

So cute. I see another hat in my future.

May I CASE this? I have been wondering what to make for a friend's DS and he loves dinosaurs.

Aly loved these when she saw them. You are right, they would go with everything Spring and Summer.

As usual, tons of really great looking creations!

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."

Here she is "posing" again?!?! This may be her signature pose I am afraid

I love this!!

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. 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

Carla A line dress and easy fit pants, I use a pillowcase from Kmart for the top.

Miss Molly Sundress

She looks adorable in all her Disney outfits!! Love them all!

We are going in Oct. too, and I have already completed 2 sets of outfits. I just made them one size bigger for everyone.

Oh, Fairygoodmother.
She has 2 sets of outfits done for October. I am just saying.
I know, order you patterns and get the fabric, right.

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.

Sunday Night my kids decided they really wanted to dress up for Dr Seuss Day at school so I painted Thing 1, 2 and 3 shirts, and we colored their hair blue just for fun

And then Monday/Tuesday I finished the st Patty outfit for the brother of the girls I do every year I just embelished a luxedo jacket, a shirt and then a pair of jeans.

Total cuteness. I love the Things pictures. You have the cutest Things ever!! I love the outfits that you made. The Elmo would have been a favorite in our house several years ago.
