Now for the big question!! I want to make all the girls something in minnie dot, but should I make them all matching round necks or coordinating different things? (ie: one peasant, one round neck, one a line, one tiered twirl all in minnie dot?) It would be for Chef Mickey's in May.

I always like coordinating, but not matching. Just my personal preference, I'm sure whatever you decide it will be adorable!

So I may be the lone supporter of hospitals but I'll put my two cents in! Before I choose my doctor (I've chosen several since we've moved) I choose my hospital. Then the doctor. That way you don't end up with a doctor you love and a hospital you hate. If I don't like something about a hospital (rooming in practices, security - a big one for me with newborns, cafeteria, anesthesia availability, etc.) I will pick a different one. SO I researched the hospitals in Dallas after we moved here, chose the one right for me and then picked a doctor who had privileges there. My deliveries were great and complication free. At both of the hospitals where I delivered I was able to have my babies with me in the room if I chose or to allow them to sleep in the nursery. Immediately after delivery at both hospitals I was able to have them in the room with me and that is where they had all of their "busy" work (baths, foot prints, monitoring, etc.) done. I was able to nurse them immediately after delivery. And the best thing was the food! Hard to believe, I know! But I was able to order food off of a menu at anytime during the day (from around 6:00 am - 8:00 pm) and they would bring it. You had typical breakfast food, sandwiches, soups, salads, pastas, and main courses along with desserts. It really was great and all of my nurses were very helpful. I really can't say enough about it! So my point is, check out your hospital and see for yourself. It may not be as bad as you think.

I will say that I totally agree with this, the right hospital can make all the difference! I am always shocked when people say that their babies were taken away shortly after delivery and gone for huge lengths of time. I had my boys at two different hospitals and strict rooming in was the policy at both hospitals (and I think that's the norm in this neck of the woods). Hospital policies can be a real bear if they aren't the right fit for you.

I lost my pic of the finished product, but I love these! I would totally put my kiddos in those and I think they would be great for older boys as well. Lisa, you are amazing!

Yes, she wants to go shopping at WDW on her Birthday. She doesn't know that I have a surprise set up for her.

Her fave restaurant is Chef Mickey's
Her fave characters are: Tink and The Princess's.

I wanna know the surprise!! i wont tell, I promise!!!!!!!!!!!

I wanna know the surprise!! i wont tell, I promise!!!!!!!!!!!

Darn kid is too smart...she reads her mother's Disboard posts!!! I dont' know what I'm going to do when Ash can read that well

 

[livndisney]

Did she age like 3 years in the last month???? Why does she look so grown up in this pic??? She was a little girl in Feb right???



It is totally the hair-I am trying to grown out the bangs and it makes her look SOOOOOOOO much older.

Okay, I am voicing my opinion for the October dismeet (even though I have no current plans of attending). Let's do all the kiddos in halloween customs! Do we have a meeting place yet? Guess we can wait until we a bit closer to decide!

Tell Lin he is outvoted and to get in the car. Shell said he would even let me make him a shirt (He saw the ones Lin was wearing).

I FINALLY finished my "funky Dr. Seuss" hoodie. Lets just say it took me forever and ever. I mean really forever. However, I must say that I LOVE it. Now it might just be me, but I love funky things!!! This raglan is so me!! Hahaha. Now seeing as though this was my very first time making a raglan, it is so not perfect but I don't care. I LOVE it and so does my little one.

Very cute!

I just noticed that you dd was 15.5 months her first trip to Disney. Next December we will be taking our little girl who will be 17 months at the time. If you don't mind me asking how was your trip? How did Violet do? Any tips/suggestions? Thanks so much!!!

She absolutely LOVED it. We had done a "practice" vacation at 14 months to San Jose (not quite a 2 hour flight from us) and she did amazingly well. We chose to get a flight with a layover since this gave her time to run around for a bit. I think this worked out better for her, she slept most of the way on both flights, each way. I also tried to make sure we'd be on the planes for nap time.
She was really great with the characters, too, but didn't want them touching her lol! She also tried giving Minnie a chewed up straw wrapper and seemed miffed when she didn't take it.
Here are the only hints I can think of: bring LOTS of spare clothes; have prepackaged snacks; bring a new/interesting toy if you plan on sitting down for shows (or go during nap time-she never wanted to sit still for an entire show); take time out to use the different play spots in each park, this was her favorite part. Rides/attractions she loved: Dumbo and anything like it (Triceratops whirl, for example, in AK was well enjoyed), Country Bear Jamboree, any parade (waved Hi to everyone), Peter Pan's Flight, Small World (of course lol), Safari at AK, Toy Story Mania (though it's REALLY jerky, I had to hold her in place and protect her head from smashing into the car). She did NOT like Voyage of the Little Mermaid (no idea why) or any of the 3-D shows, but she was okay with POTC and Haunted Mansion (yet Ariel made her burst into hysterical crying. . .?!)

I am pretty sure here on this board we all know what you mean. hehe I had the same though exactly!

Phew, then I don't have to worry about explaining what might sound like gibberish to my husband!

OK!!!

Here we go!........................

This is the Wishmom09 Give for Caleb

We visted a pioneer camp this weekend. Here is Morgan's take on a "prairie" apron dress. She did get quite a few compliments. LOL

Wow, your dd is gorgeous! Love her interpretation!

That looks like it was pretty complicated, but the end result is fantastic!

Initially my plan was to have DD wear this to school for Dr. Seuss' birthday, however, seeing as though it took me a very,very, very long time, that did not happen. So instead, we have decided to have a Cat in the Hat birthday bash this coming weekend!!! Yippeeee.....!!!

Anyway, get ready for to many "funky Cat in the Hat" hoodie pictures!!!

Oh and a BIG shout-out to CARLAC for a ROCKING RAGLAN pattern!! Thank you so much Carla!!!

WOW!!!!!! That is SO cool!!!!! If you can make you can make anything!

Where did you find your fabrics?

 

[my*2*angels]

OH CINDEE you poor dear! I am crying for you after seeing that beautiful pic of Morgan! She looks so grown up!

LOVE LOVE LOVE that Minnie stripwork jumper! My dh saw it and said "WOW, you need to make the girls' one of those!"

Also love the cat in the hat!!! I can tell that took some hard work, but it was well worth it!

I know there was others, but since I can't multiquote for some unknown reason I am having a hard time keeping up!

Does anyone know where I can get pink velcro? I checked at my local Joanns, who called a Super Joanns. Neither carries it. I then looked online and can't find any. Does it exist? Aleah has a Gymboree coat that velcros. That velcro is pink, but maybe they dyed it. Would that be hard?

Thanks for any help!

OK I just read this really fast and missed the part that said "I'm holding some in my hand"...I thought you just knew that off the top of your head

Yes, I am THAT good LOL. Didn't Morgan tell you "Mommy knows EVERYTHING!"

 

[livndisney]

Ok this is why I am having a "pity party" ......

This was my baby on one of her first trips to WDW.

And then look at the pioneer camp pic.

I'm making skirts for a dance company. Actually, they aren't that hard. It's a simple netting that they want gathered. I'm making 12, possibly 14 skirts. There needs to be 3 inches of velcro on each skirt.

I haven't checked Walmart yet. I'll try there. Thanks for the info! And so quickly, too!

That is wonderful! I love that you made your own striped fabric for the front. It's perfect as a background for the Cat.
