Tee Hee...that's us!!! The enablers!!!![]()
Have fun with it!!!
I am not good with starting easy! I do everything backwards and start with the hardest first! I think I really need to learn about inkscape and just editing what is in there. I cut a Minnie the other day, really cute but it didn't cut her red hat. And did Mickey, he was simple. I started to do Charlie from Charlie and Lola but it wasn't detecting the pants. I think I kind of figured out to change the one # but then I was tired and went to bed.
I have seen some really good dingbats too! Dallas can't wait for spiderman and batman. There was also one with tons of Star Wars characters and NBC characters.
If you ask, you shall receive!Here is my Jenna in the outfit I made. It looks so cute on her I think.

She looks at little stiff in this one:

Anyone have any ideas for my son for the Pirate cruise? I was thinking something sleeveless, maybe a cut off muscle looking shirt with shorts. I think that would be good for a boy pirate. Is there any pattern like that or should I just wing it? Thanks!
I just stopped by to say ...

WooHoo I got a cricut today! DH told me to get off that computer those ladies make you spend money! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow!

There ya go!
There is also a navy fabric with the pics of the cast on it that they have at JoAnn's and Walmart I believe.
you'll LOVE your cricut! I don't think I've posted these yet, but I did these with my cricut - love that thing!

OK - so my craft room certainly still needs some tweaking. I needs a good cleaning, and my scrapbook side of my bookcases need to be straightened and organized. BUT, this is what I've got so far.

bookcases -
top - obviously piles of fabric that I still need to go through
in the basket on left -commercial patterns (notice they're way up top? because I seldom use them anymore)
basket on right - small cuts of fabric folded on half comic book boards
left bookcase - obviously all fabric
right bookcase - top shelf - all blanks ready to be used
second shelf - cricut jukebox, scrapbook markers, cuttlebug supplies
third shelf - another basket of small cuts of fabric, comic book boards & polar notions boards
fourth shelf - scrapbook paper
fifth shelf - one basket has stickers & misc. embellishments other basket has stamps

The next project - I want to sew table covers for my sewing area. I'm trying to figure out what kind of color scheme & feel that I want to go with. I went to a few places today on the hunt for fabric, and nothing struck me. I'll wait until I find something that I'll LOVE since it will be a lot of fabric. If you were going to do this project, what would you choose?

I keep seeing the infomercial late at night and it keeps calling my name![]()
I don't know if anyone has already helped, but did you try leaving the blue piece alone and flipping the toile down os that you end up looking at the wron side of the toile?
Cute.. love your shirred dress. Looks alot better than some I have seen!ok, so i knew how to post a picture, but my computer wouldn't let me open my "pictures" folder![]()
here are my st. patrick's day tops (where 1 became a skirt). i did eventually add ribbon ties and buttons to the one with the jeans (funny thing, apparently the ribbons wouldn't stay tied at school so she ended up just pushing the shamrock top down to wear it as a skirt over her jeans for the remainder of the school day!)
the red dress is that preshirred fabric (got it on clearance for $3.50/yd at joann's and used just over 1/2 yard to make this dress! the ruffles and shoulder straps are just strips cut off the bottom of the same piece of fabric )![]()
of course the seemingly "required" disboutique tiered twirl skirt (so perfect for my first project)![]()
i'm off now to keep working on my dds' A-line dresses before they get home....
Wasn't it Pottery Barn that had Fancy Nancy sheets??? I am not sure...Has anyone seen any fabric that is Fancy Nancy? Do they even make it? My DD is having a bday party in June that will be Fancy Nancy and I woulg loved to make her a dress. I have not even tried appliques yet but I downloaded the tutorial. (I have to do their Easter outfits first anyway.) I was thinking of the Vida dress after looking at the bookmarks. or does it need to be fancier?
THose look stunning. I really couldn't tell that you had any ribbons upside down.Hi Everyone!
Well, here is my latest creation. I noticed after taking pictures that on one bow the ribbon is upside down, so I've got to fix them. They'll be adorable once I turn the ribbon around!![]()

LOOKIE AT WHAT I JUST WON ON A SECRET SITE...

Im thrilled, the hunt is over
You come up with great ideas!I haven't seen any Fancy Nancy fabric, but I have made a few things for my daughter when she was going through her Fancy Nancy phase.
I didn't want to invest a small fortune into things when I knew that this too would pass quickly and end up at the bottom of the box.
That is REALLY pretty. Mean ole Wal Mart for closing down our fabric.
That looks great on her!!!If you ask, you shall receive!Here is my Jenna in the outfit I made. It looks so cute on her I think.

Wow... what a lucky woman you are!!! I would love to hit a sale like that. We love crocs!So this isn't sewing related, but I'll share anyway because I bet you all will understand my excitement. I live about 25 minutes from the Crocs home base/warehouse. They started their warehouse sale today and I bought Crocs for the boys for this summer and the next 2 summers. 8 pairs total for them, 1 pair of cute Croc slip-ons for myself, 2 messenger bags, 12 jibbitz, and 3 pairs of socks for $64. Hurray!
My DH could sympathize with your DH.WooHoo I got a cricut today! DH told me to get off that computer those ladies make you spend money! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow!
Tracie
That looks really good. Love it!
Wow.. Love your sewing room!!! Your serger is calling my name.you'll LOVE your cricut! I don't think I've posted these yet, but I did these with my cricut - love that thing!

You are too funny!Where did you find the Star Wars and NBC characetr ones?? Sounds like I need those!
Waaaahaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahahhahaha!! Now that they have you in their evil grip......
Lisa.... LISA..... LISA..... now is the time .... you must buy!
It never ends until you cave in and get it. May as well just give it up now. Just ask the other boutiquers that have joined the Cricut club. Save your sanity before it's too late!!!![]()
I love it! I couldn't get how the top would look from the original post and now I can see how adorable it is!!!!!!!If you ask, you shall receive!Here is my Jenna in the outfit I made. It looks so cute on her I think.

I like the way the top came out. I was thinking it is probably going to be pretty hot in Florida in May so I wanted something light and simple. I am going to make a couple of more like this. I am thinking for their pirate cruise outfits. I am in the process of cutting pieces now.
Anyone have any ideas for my son for the Pirate cruise? I was thinking something sleeveless, maybe a cut off muscle looking shirt with shorts. I think that would be good for a boy pirate. Is there any pattern like that or should I just wing it? Thanks!
My walmart still ahs the one that some one just posted. I had been looking for that for a yr! Not sure what I am going to make with it.Hi all! I have not posted here in a very long time!! We just booked a trip and I only have 37 days to plan. DD has decided she LOVES high school musical and I'd love to make her something. Has anyone made anything HSM lately? I've dug through the thread and not found anything. Anyone know if there is HSM fabric anywhere other than what I saw at Walmart? The colors are just so bright!!
I am so jealous of all of you with a sewing room! They are great!you'll LOVE your cricut! I don't think I've posted these yet, but I did these with my cricut - love that thing!

close up of the desk where I sew and cut - I put in this metal strip just below an ikea rail. I wanted this so that I could put the calculation sheets especially for Carla C's patterns on the strip to reference while I'm cutting. I think it'll be really helpful.
![]()
I don't think you can see it in the pics, but my cricut is in all of this mess. Right above it are two ikea rails that I hang all of my cricut notebooks, overlays and cartridges in.
In the wide holders on the rails, I have all of my machine manuals in one, Carla C's pdf patterns in one, other pdf patterns in one, and the fourth holds various printouts that I've collected for ideas.
To make room for my scrapbook stuff to move back into the room, I had to weed out a lot of fabric. This is the pile that has to be re-homed.

I'm loving it in here now! I still need to sort a few things out, but I can tell I'm gonna really get a lot done in here!

I laughed so hard when I saw this Queen Karen! I may not be part of your kingdom since I don't have a ciricut and probably won't get one but I LOVE seeing all the great stuff everyone makes with them!Welcome to my Kingdom!!! Where the motto is..... tell DH to get use to it...... we've only just begun!!!
You are gonna love this thing. let us know if you need help. We're more then willing to help you out!
that is a great shot!Here she is!

Would you believe it if I said I don't?Good morning everyone!
Don't know if any of you watch Gray's Anatomy (I'm sure most of us do!) but I was watching last night and I thought of all of us. The guy that was getting the face transplant had his online friends, whom he had never met, come to the hospital to take care of him after his surgery. They flew in from all over the country. Anyway, it made me think of our thread. Most of us don't really know each other (except for the lucky few who went on the trip last month) but we are a great online community who support one another.
So anyway, back to sewing now!

I am soo very jealous of your craft room. My scrapbooking has been put on the back burner to allow for sewing for now. My craft room is my dining room table. Which is totally a pain because I have to pack it all up all te time( not to mention my husband gets a little aggravated to see everything cluttering up the dining room). Our oldest daughter moved back home( bad break up with her now ex boyfriend) so we had to move the baby back into our room for the time being, now her things are taking up any room I might have claimed as my own. Had to move all of my scrapbooking things in oldest daughter's closet and in one of my rolling carts in her room ( which she is now using the top as an entertainment center so it is an act of Congress to get to anything I might want in there). As for all of that fabric that needs a new home, I would be happy to volunteer to take it off of your hands!
Oh Heck! Even Katie yells for me when the infomercials come on now!But what is worse...HSN is having craft month and they had a whole segment on them the other day, DH was home for lunch and Katie and me kept telling him how VERY COOL it is...I'm working on him...slowly! Katie is working the whole "look how cool that would be for when I do projects Daddy!"
Karen!!! The other day when you were having the whole caramel apple attack...Paula Deen (my personal hero!) made them on her show...they looked pretty good...but not thick enough caramel for me...I like if gunked on there...more caramel than apple most of the time I say!
I would love the ding bat source as well. For embroidery purposes though.
The enablers haven't gotten to me yet!!!LOL!
Dingbats are easily transformed into embroidery designs if you have the right digitizing software.
Meld the two rooms together. My craft room is also my sewing room! It can be done!!
