HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY!!!!
Love all the cute St. Patricks day stuff! We made irish soda bread (what is that supposed to taste like anyway - i cant remember but i dont think our recipe was very good) and irish potatoes (yummmy!!)
I wanted to let you know that Daniel's fever broke, and he got to come home this afternoon. They said he just had a viris, and fortunately, it didnt turn into any type of infection or pneumonia. They told him to stay at home for the rest of the week and not even come in for therapy - they want him to be as rested as possible for the start of Chemo next week....I sold 25 bracelets yesterday!!!!!!
How old is Jacob? (Nikki is 9) I am all for pre arranged marriages to a good family
Wait isn't he Tessa's? Or are you studding your son off?
He's ARMINDA'S!!!
REALLY, Steph!
Now I've done it!
I went to the fabric store for no good reason and came home poorer....
Not horribly, but still more than my fabric budget had room for
I rarely go to the Hancock Fabrics here because the staff is big on attitude, but I decided to brave it and my DD2 paved the way to softening the staff with her cuteness.
They have the Disney/Licensed prints all mixed in with everything so it was a hunt, but I found some things I have had my eye out for. She found a Little Einstein fabric. And I also got a red, white and blue print that I really liked. All at 40% off, except the Nemo... which might be DDs favorites.
Thank goodness there are some new posts! 2 hours and 15 minutes passed after my post (which never happens around here) so I thought I killed the Disboutiqers thread
what's up with that ...
Muno (the tall red one) and BroBee (the short striped green one) are old characters from a performance art/music group from the late 80's.
The designer joined up with some other music artists, bands & child development experts/psychologists to develop that show.
BroBee's name used to be Broccoli Bee, though. Muno's name stayed the same, I think. He was designed to look like a alien PICKLE. (*I think there was a FOOD related Background story to the show they used to have, can't remember exactly.)
+ Little kids don't think like older folks do, so it doesn't look like "that" to them.
Each to his/her own.
Personally, I probably wouldn't like the show all too much,
IF my youngest/4.5 yrs old would have found some other catalyst that she liked better to start TALKING.
She LOVES that show! and NOW = she's SINGING the songs = aloud, and on her own/when the show's not on.
She'll even sing one line, let you sing the next, back-and-forth ... it's just amazing!
+ She's counting and clearly saying "please", "thank you" & "you're welcome", now = just like in the show. There's all sorts of good manners & safety stuff in that show, too.
+ Her dancing has greatly improved too!
ALSO, the show's reeeally into healthy eating & trying new foods = which is super awesome for my 6.5 yr old that has oral food aversion & sensory integration dysfunction = she lives on a liquid diet.
2.5 straight YEARS of therapy & special schooling, counseling, testing = resulted in 20-25 MUMBLED words, that she could have cared less if she got right or used at home at all!
It takes a goofy TV show, to get her to really start vocalizing/singing & interacting.
So hey, I'll live with it. And I am just glad she's talking now.
I printed out the lyrics to their songs, we sing together when the shows aren't playing ... I run my finger under the words, like a sing-a-long. I hope it'll help trigger some reading skills. I dunno = anything to help at this point, ya know.
For me, out of the Yo Gabba Gabba characters, I find the Pink Flower Girl, "FooFa", the most "annoying" = can't pinpoint WHY exactly. She has a very high pitched, squeaky voice. I dunno. ... I like PLEX the robot & DJ Lance best of all = they're funny.
Personally, I like MAISY, MUCH MORE ... but she hardly talks at all & when she does, it's all mumbles. Sadly, that's not a good option for my little Liz.
I find Wubbzy a bit alerting for my ADHD 6.5yr old. ... but she is certainly cute, that's for sure.
Thank you
LOL Nik has a lot of boys who are friends. We joke that My best friend who we went to WDW with that her son and Nikki have to get married. LOL It is Funny because his little girlfriend in school is Nicolette and Nikki's little boyfriend is named Dylan. My BFF keeps teasing her Dylan that she is going to show Nicolette the pics of him and Nik at WDW.He is nine and does belong to Arminda, but he doesn't know it yet. Let's just say he has a lot of "friends who are girls."
Sorry!
Cute!I finished a skort for my BFF's DD5...she is a big HM fan...my kids are not...so no models...plus my only option was Timmy...he was not going for the skirt!
Great finds! Love that Mickey fabric.Now I've done it!

So we are washing our new fabrics, and I am trying to get DD to take a nap so I can go cut our a roundneck dress for her......her eyes are closed so its looking good!
It's not too bad and Carla's instructions are awesome!
I totally want an embellishment center on the wall!
Sounds like a pattern piece was accidentally turned upside down or the faces of the fabric got turned over somehow ...

so they end up )( instead of )) ...
oh! when you pin them together, they won't line up ... is that what you mean?
no, that's right = they won't line up when pinning them, but they lay correctly after stitched & ironed
they are supposed to start out )( ... and end up )) ...
it got me for a second there, tooI could flip the hem piece and the curves would line up but then the finished hem would be wrong..... right?
ugh, I think I am going crazy
you're not alone.Yup, you got it
!
Completely understand ...k, I have tried pinning it a couple of ways....
I think I need to just make the fabric line up, and pin it lots.
Its the only way the lines seems right once flip the hem back into place.
Thanks for you help, somethings need two sets of eyes
I will post if it works the way its supposed to... otherwise I will be looking for chocolate
