Prayers for Samantha!!





Okay...here we go....Revenge of the Sith which is Episode III...umm...not that I would know...umm...geek that I am.... wait...that is Anakin...hmmm....I guess if Luke was in black, that would be Revenge of the Jedi, which is Episode VI.

Yes!! Your right! Revenge, or Return of the Jedi! The third original movie. My son played the scene for me when Luke enters Jabba's palace with his hood over his head. That's it! Too funny! I went nuts trying to find the right wool for the cloak. I think I spent more on it than I do on clothing for myself! I wish he could wear it to Star Wars weekends but it's way too hot in Florida in June!

Good morning everyone!!!


Just wondering.... Anyone out there in disboutique land watch The Biggest Loser last night???

I just have to know because I need to let everyone here know that TARA ROCKS!!!! Could you believe your eyes when she came from behind, withj all that extra weight to win the challenge?!?!?!? She's my hero! (if you haven't seen it- you need to- it's AWESOME!)

I love the Biggest Loser!! Tara does rock, she totally kicked butt pulling that car. Poor Aubrey, I can relate to not making time for yourself, and I imagine going home and trying to work out was very difficult. Hope she gets back on track!!!

 

[phins_jazy]

Ok, I've got a question regarding the anna wrap dress. Is there a similar pattern made by any of the big 3 pattern companies? I hate spending $12 for a pattern if I can get a very similar one for $1.99 Thanks!!

 

[lovesdumbo]

You have a Jedi too??!! I am sure our sons would get along great!!! Your pictures reminded me of one of my son. I thought maybe you would like to see it. He has the Jedi pose down too! This is my sons black Luke costume I made. (I apologize I don't know which movie it was from).....(my son does though, he asked for this outfit in particular and even showed me the pictures of it I have a very bad memory ) He is in bed or I would ask him. Please forgive me Star Wars fans .

Another great Jedi and cloak too!

sorry I think the pictures are to big tried to make smaller threw this together for our trip leaving thiursday, thought that my texas dgd needed to let people know mickey can be a cowboy too

COOL! How did you do the cowboy?

Sorry for the drive by! I need to go back and read but I am so tired!

Sadly George DIDN"T come home his fever was too high so he is in again tonight but when I left his fever was at 101 so I am not hopeful for tomorrow him coming home.
Thankfully my girlfriend took the kids after my brother had to go home and she will watch them again tomorrow.
I am so tired and drain I just want him home! I know he wants to be home too but he is really hurting. I feel awful. Then the guy in the next bed is annoying UGH! He bashes his wife to the people who have come to see him then I meet his wife and she is a pain in the butt and they start fighting! UGH! The guy hasn't been mean to us at all it is just that he is driving us crazy with stuff he says to people around him. UGH! Then I feel bad because his wife comes in for maybe 15-minutes to a half hour every day. I just can't imagine that if my husband was in the hospital! Then again I am the one who is there all day every day and feels guilty she comes home to take care of the kids!

Thanks all for the wishes! And letting me vent. Maybe tomorrow morning I can read a bit before I go to see him....

Hope George is feeling better today. Hope the mean one is off for a few days.

Prayer request for a fellow Disboutiquer:

I got an e-mail from hudsonsinaf today. Her name is Shannon. She doesn't post much, but she's a lurker. We e-mail each other every once in a while and she's a real sweetheart. Here's some of the e-mail:

"Our youngest daughter, Samantha, who was born January 16th is having some issues. Since birth, she has had feeding issues. Over the last few weeks, she has had weird swelling over her right temple area that at times gets more severe, and moves down her jaw. During the periods of severity, she refuses to eat and starts vomiting. Today we took her to the pediatrician for a weight check. In the last week, she has lost half a pound. He started looking at her swelling and decided to do a head x-ray to see if anything showed up... it came back abnormal. We are being sent to MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina) to the oncology floor tomorrow morning.

Let me re-emphasize, we do not know anything as of yet! I know whenever I hear the words "oncology" and "cancer" my heart drops and I think the worst. We are praying that the pediatrician is just being extremely overcautious and wants to eliminate the worst possibilities first. With that said, however, it amazes us that they got us a next day appointment considering it usually takes FOREVER for the military to get us sent anywhere - we are going without a referral or pre-authorization, which just never happens!

Please pray for the wisdom of the doctors, health for Sam and peace of mind for us... "

Lots of prayers for Sam and her family!

Awww I am praying for Samantha and her family. It breaks my heart when kids are sick. I hope they figure out what is going on and that it is nothing serious!!! My thoughts and prayers are with them!

 

[MouseTriper]

I am so behind on this thread, both my kids have been sick with those nasty colds and coughs. I have skimmed through parts and just wanted to say that all the new outfits look adorable.

Prayers to all those that are sick or injured. WENDY...so glad to hear about Daniel. What a little trooper he is....I hope his benefit goes well Friday.

Ohh and the CAKES....WOW...the cakes!!! They all look so yummy and delicious!!!!!!

Oops...typo I guess...you are right Return of the Jedi...I guess I wanted him to take revenge! LOL! I keep getting request for a robe...more Anakin style than Luke. But I haven't done it yet. I better get on that!

sorry I think the pictures are to big tried to make smaller threw this together for our trip leaving thiursday, thought that my texas dgd needed to let people know mickey can be a cowboy too

LOVE it!

I actually used Carla's pattern for the first time on Sierra's top. Olivia's was a McCalls pajama pattern I think. Both of those outfits were super easy. As for Raggedy Ann, that's IT! NO MORE UNTIL AFTER THE WEDDING! I mean it! Nothing, Zilch, Nada!

As for the china, the funniest thing about that is that Karen won't bring it back home to me. She's afraid to transport it in her car!

And for the wedding, I'm using this pattern for bridesmaids:

It (lavender, strapless, bubble skirt) will be black brocade.
The pattern's smallest size is 6. Two of her bridesmaids are size 4, but with a "C" cup. I'm freaking out. How will I make it fit???? Does anyone wanna help????? Come on over...we'll have a marathon sewing day.

IMO, the size 6 they list isn't like a retailer's size 6, so I'd go more by their measurements. Could you cut ou the larger size top and put in darts to make the rest of the bodice smaller?

Hopefully his temp comes down soon! I'm glad that you have someone there to help you with the kids, too, it's so hard to function normally when your spouse is not doing well.

Love the dresses. That Elmo outfit is just darling!


Cute bracelet. Does the bead come off easily? I would be so worried my DD would break it.

Nope, the bead doesn't move from where it's at since the cording I used is pretty thick (wanted something super sturdy since it's for a child). The bead will turn, but it won't actually move along the cording, if that makes sense.

Aww, poor baby, will definitely be hoping for the best for them, definitely let us know as soon as you hear something else.

Most pattern sized run smaller than actual store bought dresses so you shouldn't have a problem, just make sure you measure everyone and don't just go by the size on the pattern! Good luck, these are really cute!

Good morning everyone!!!


Just wondering.... Anyone out there in disboutique land watch The Biggest Loser last night???

I just have to know because I need to let everyone here know that TARA ROCKS!!!! Could you believe your eyes when she came from behind, withj all that extra weight to win the challenge?!?!?!? She's my hero! (if you haven't seen it- you need to- it's AWESOME!)

I am a huge fan of the Biggest Loser! I love that show. I don't really feel the love for Tara, BUT last night was awesome.

On a similar note, but unrelated to sewing...I am doing my final "mentor" session next Monday for Weight Watchers! I am training to be a leader and next Monday I will be conducting my first meeting with my trainer and my mentor both watching! Please please please wish me luck!

That is so AWESOME! And what a great accomplishment. I think Weight Watcher is a great tool! And I'm sure you will be in the fabulousity category!

Oops...typo I guess...you are right Return of the Jedi...I guess I wanted him to take revenge! LOL! I keep getting request for a robe...more Anakin style than Luke. But I haven't done it yet. I better get on that!

I know, I love when my kids put in a "request" I seem to work on those faster. At least I know they want what I am making! . I just made my niece a Dora dress that I thought she would love...well, she took one look at it and that was IT! She wouldn't even try it on!

I think a Jedi robe is a Jedi robe...???? Correct me if I am wrong and I apologize ahead of time but I think they are all pretty much the same style. My son was Anakin a couple of years ago and I made pretty much the same thing just with cheaper material. I know, it doesn't really matter, I just like to be authentic and I hope I didn't miss something . I found this pic:

Oh, and this site is great when your making Star Wars stuff (I have made quite a few). This will bring you right to the Jedi robe page:

http://www.padawansguide.com/robe.shtml

I hope those links work for you.

They are really simple to make. The hardest part is finding the right brown. I didn't know how hard it would be to find brown and gray material until I went looking for it. Plus, it was in August when I was looking so they don't usually stock to much heavier winter like material then.

There is one that people think is similar. I will try to find it, and post it later.
To me it wasn't that similar. The back was similar though.

The UPS guy came today......and........he brought me my sewing machine......I want to stay home and play with it...but I have my last clinical for the term.

What did you get???

I am waiting for UPS to bring my new All-Clad pan.

I have mainly been lurking but I think I have seen it all now.

I just love the cakes posted! I love to dabble in the making cakes but mine aren't that special.

The new things posted are all so cute! I miss being able to comment on all of them. The jedi robes Dallas would love. He was darth vader for halloween but I put about zero effort into it because he only wears the costume for about an hour if that. He was happy and that is what counts right.

I love the pictures at Epcot with Davy Jones (right?) but Morgan looks like she is having a blast. Has anyone ever noticed that she is always happy no matter what she is doing!

ya know that is so awesome! You'll do GREAT as a leader I'm sure! WOW!!! What I would do to be in your shoes right now!! GOOD FOR YOU!

Hi friends,

I am leaving shortly for a 4 hour drive in a winter storm warning to go to lander. There is the brain injury conference and I wanted to go to see if there is any progress in recovery.

FD will be offered for Chase Visa card holders tomorrow so I hope they understand when I have to run out and call CRO! to get my FD.

Wishing everyone a good week. Still sick!
