Okay, Thing 1 is done now too. I think I'll do the word by hand next time so the G isn't so funky. Or do it before I iron it on.

Here is it all together! I amwith it all. I hope the wish trippers like it as much as I do!
I've been lurking so thought I'd pop up for a minute!!! hope i didn't scare anyone!!!![]()
I really don't sew but am leaning towards buying a machine so I can mess around!!! I do love crafts and i make bows and decorate shoes. I love cutom clothing and I just want to say what you guys do is beautifull.
I really love all the Big Give projects ya'll do.
We went on our Wish trip before this group was started.
As a Wish family Our trip was awesome and my mom and sisters had bought my kids some Mickey t-shirts they had found for our trip. Between those and the T-shirts my DH designed for the Wish foundation we felt it really added to our trip! So I know all of this effort is really making these WISH trip that much more special!!!
I'm going to jump on your Big Give board if that is o.k. and see if I can possible do anything to help!!
Thanks again for all you do!! Big hugs to everyone!!!![]()
Do you mind if I use your Thing 1 idea and have Thing 1 and Thing 2 shirts made for my boys? They may not be exactly like yours but I wanted to ask first!!!
Question for those of you who shop online.
Do you get charged sales tax? I used to some places and not others until about 2-3 years ago. Now I do everywhere so I am wondering if it is a state thing and that is why I get charged tax on the photopass. I thought it was a federal law that made everyone start charging but guess that doesn't make much sense since it is state sales and tax and OR and whomever else don't even have state taxes like that.
BTW, I took a photo of it. I couldn't figure out how to get it in photobucket! Really, I am not crazy! And I ordered it within 3 days of you Jeanne!
Hi Everyone - if you could send some prayer Daniels way - he was admitted to duPont this morning with a fever - seems his Dad has been sick too - poor kiddo, this was his last week of rest before mega Chemo starts next monday (when he will have to be admitted to see how his body reacts to the chemo).....He will hopefully be discharged tues or wed. Also, his Dad was laid off again, but at least he got a month of work in!!
So my idea of both girls having one party just flew out the window. My oldest really wants a party by her self and I cave in today. Mind you the party is going to be April 4th, so I have a wk till I get the invites out. Now I've been planning a Mary Poppins theme party, which we are still doing for DD2. DD4 wants a High School Musical party. I need ideas, I really need a CUTE party invite. I don't like to by the party packs. I already thought of megaphones for them to decorate then they become the party favor. HELP!!!

Here is the pink Minnie dot for Lilyanne (Marena's Big Give) For some reason, I couldn't get the picture to show up on the other board!!
Georgia must just get taxed for everything!
I hope you do get some answers.
I was thinking that I get charged tax on Amazon but now I am not positive. I know for sure when I was buying legos I did but that was through Toys R Us on Amazon.
Don't worry! I was sure you believed me but I know on the thread I was reading they didn't! I gotta find it and post a picture!
I bet it is nice to be able to go across the border for some things. When I lived in OH we sometimes drove the 2 hours to PA to school shop and stuff. No tax on clothes (or something of the like in PA). I was a kid so don't remember the exact details of it.
Piper - I really love the flower on Minnie! That is a perfect Ohana outfit! Although it could be worn anywhere. I think I have both those fabrics now that I think about it.
Okay, Thing 1 is done now too. I think I'll do the word by hand next time so the G isn't so funky. Or do it before I iron it on.

Thanks everyone for the compliments on the Minnie dress. The bling was an iron on.I LOVE the Prince Charming outfit!!! Tooooooo cute! On the T-shirt was that a DISign or one of your own? I would so love to have that for my son.
Thoughts and prayers for Daniel!
This turned out so cute! I love the stripes with the dots. The Minnie embelishment is great. Did you make it yourself or was it an iron on?

Super cute Piper!
Sorry! To clarify, that is where I learned about the crush, I was just pointed out that even after reading about it, I still didn't pick up on her hugging him in the pic.
And right there is the math that lead me to determine that Aisling will never have another twirl skirt made by me!
You are not going crazy- some places charge and some don't. I get charged more often than not because Mass taxes pretty much everything. In case you haven't missed the news- they plan to start taxing soda this year and raising the gas tax to the highest in the countryThank God I live on the NH border

You had a job in Mass?

I think if you buy directly from amazon there is o tax.
Welcome!
I am back from the dr and the good news is she doesn't believe it is Rheumatoid arthritis but Degenerative arthritis. Which I believe is just osteoarthritis. Which I knew I had some degenerative stuff going on in my knee for yrs and my back has always shown degenerative stuff. She just thinks I most likely have it in all my joints. PERFECT! Especially since there is nothing to stop it from progressing it is all pain management. Oh well life goes on.
Yes, you are a dork. Ooops! I missed that it was rhetorical!How Fun!! If you do a Thing shirt, you'll have to let me know what font you find etc. Since we don't know what the baby is going to be, instead of taking 2 outfits to the hospital like I did w/ Little and doing "I'm the big brother/sister" shirts, I think Mac would HATE that now I thought I'd make them Things 1 and 2 shirts and do a thing 3 onsie for the niblet. Is that Dorky? It's really kind of a joke b/c when Lily was still in my belly, my nephew (who was 3) said we could name it The Cat in the Hat. When she was born I think Evan was the 2nd person to hold her after Mac. A nurse walked into the room and he looked up from the baby and said "HI!! I'm Evan and THIS is the Cat in the Hat." EVERYONE was crackying up It took at least 3 months for him to call her Baby Lily. So I thought Thing shirts would be cute....am I a dork? Wait, don't answer that question it was rhetorical.
...t.
It's a teflon pressing sheet. I think I included a picture of the packaging it comes in with my applique tutorial. It was by the irons and such at JoAnn.Ok, help me out here please!
What is the applique mat called that some of you have used to piece your appliques together? I have asked about it at JoAnn and Hobby Lobby and they look at me like I am insane.
Thanks!!!
Wow, that is just too cool! My idea for you is to RELAX and enjoy your prize! Can you add more days to your vacation if you pay a little more? Or do you have to get plane tickets for the amount of time you won?Thanks everyone! Last summer Disneyshopping.com had an instant win game that had a sweepstakes attached to it. I was buying things from there for our Halloween trip, so I did the instant win thing a few times and didn't win. I didn't realize that every time you did it you got entered into this sweepstakes. The drawing took place on 10/1/08. I got an email that day saying I won and then spent days and weeks trying to track this down and make sure it was a legit thing. It was.
As with everyone, the holidays came, it got busy, etc. I realized in the end of January that I hadn't heard back from them after I sent in the paperwork, so I contacted the person who 'handles' the prize winners. She told me that there were 5 winners and 2 families had asked for trips earlier than ours. She said when she was done with their arrangements ours would be made. Here we are now
All of a sudden though I am kinda crazy about this. I can't decided where to go on which days, because the schedule isn't out yet. My son wants to do one day at Universal...I guess we'll have to rent a car for the day for that. We have waterpark visits left on a no expire pass from 2 yrs ago. And I did enquire about a meal plan, but we can't do that with a prize, even if we pay for it. So...no meal plan. I haven't figured out any of this yet. Anyone who has ideas, thow them at me, please!!
I'm always partial to the peasant dress. I think it would be really cute with these fabrics!
My mom just keeps the hat pulled down at all times! Every time I see that doll's face, it's shocking!I did look at that doll and it was very creepy looking. Do you hide it in the house?
Happy almost 6th birthdya to Tessa!!! Is she as happy for 6 as they are for 5?
Aww...what a cute little baby stash!
Those hats look adorable!!! What a great idea to put their names on them! This avoids sharing the "creepy crawlies". Yes, that's where my mind goes lately!Making the hats was VERY time consuming. It was oh so worth it though. The class was even featured in the school newsletter wearing their hats. You can see a pic of them on their school webpage

I LOVE IT!!! That is just perfect!!!! You did a really wonderful job on it!Sorry the pictures are so gigantic. I'm still trying to figure out photobucket. I don't have the patience for some things. This is my Prince Charming outfit for a BigGive. I know some of you were interested in the PC style, so I wanted to share. I thought I'd send along a tshirt to go with it.

One of these days I hope to do a little video tutorial about it. I'm glad my advice helped you!I did put their names on them. I'm a germaphobe. Thanks to Heather for explaining how to embroider without hooping it went fast
I love the hat! So cute! I can't wait to see Madilynn's dress!You all are so inspiring.

Next Project: Portrait Peasant Dress for Madilynn. It's all cut out ready to go
I didn't notice it until I saw the picture! Who can blame the girl? He's got the personality AND the looks!I think I'm the only person who missed the Megan/Mac crush. I didn't even notice it in that pic until T pointed it out! Was I there???
I'll be praying for Daniel and his family!Hi Everyone - if you could send some prayer Daniels way - he was admitted to duPont this morning with a fever - seems his Dad has been sick too - poor kiddo, this was his last week of rest before mega Chemo starts next monday (when he will have to be admitted to see how his body reacts to the chemo).....He will hopefully be discharged tues or wed.

I will continue to keep Daniel and his family in my prayers.
[quote="Piper, post: 30837771"]Okay, I am getting ready to start work on the newest Big Give outfits. There is a 4 year old girl and a 12 year old girl. They both like twirl skirts. I am making the little sister a traditional red/white one and the big sister black/pink. My question is how big would you make the tier for the waist for someone whose waist is 39"? I don't want it to be too skimpy, but if each tier is twice the length of the one above it, you could get into some serious gathering! I am thinking 54"(4 1/2 feet), 9 feet for second tier and 18 feet for the bottom:scared1: :scared1: . What do you guys think? Could I get away with 48" (4 feet -8 feet & 16 feet?)[/QUOTE]
Well, I saw that you showed the picture later in the thread, but I was going to suggest using 1.5 more each layer instead of doubling the measurements. I tried that not too long ago and was really surprised that it still is very twirly! The minnie dress is so perfect! I am really liking the peasant dresses this year! And I love your bookcase. I am heading out soon to go to a local comic book store to buy a few of those comic book blanks. I hope to have some organization soon! Or at least be able to see my fabric. :woohoo:

I need to fold up my little scraps and organize them. Right now they're in a rubbermaid container and I can never find anything.
Does anyone have a way to see all of your smaller pieces of fabric at once, if they're smaller than a fat quarter?
So cute! My daughter says she is saying hi (the red marks on her face). My son is impressed with your iphone. He says the baby is cute too.
She looks like an angel.
Aww I love that Prince Charming outfit....it is so adorable. I would love to make one of those for my son. Very cute!!!This is my Prince Charming outfit for a BigGive. I know some of you were interested in the PC style, so I wanted to share. I thought I'd send along a tshirt to go with it.

Aww you are so sweet. She had a WONDERFUL party. She had so much fun. Unfortunately my DH and our DS missed the party because DS was sick. He ended up getting worse later in the day so we took him to the ER. He has a bad virus and is still throwing up. My poor baby!Awww... Hope she has a great party. She will be so happy to get to wear that fab outfit you made her. I'm sure she will feel like a birthday girl should in that!
