I know right where that is!!

First, prayers for everyone who needs them. I hate to think of people hurting and sad. I wish life didn't have to be so hard.

Second, I live in Ohio, near Cincinnati.

third,

First does anyone have a Brother SE270D sewing/embroidery combo?

the responses to this have scared me. I have one and I love it. I've never had any problems with it and I've had it for almost a year. I don't embroidery that much, but use it for all of my regular sewing. I even gave my old sewing machine to someone else. I hope I don't end up regretting that.

I love the Alice dress, it looks perfect.

Please don't say that!!! It's 40 weeks for a very good reason!! Take it from someone who knows too well. Sorry, I don't mean to get onto you, I know you're sore and tired but this makes me so sad to hear stuff like this.

Sorry you had your baby early - my brother was born when my mom was only 26 weeks pregnant, so I know how that is. He is a super miracle baby because he was born in 1984, when surviving at that amount of gestation was pretty much unheard of.

However, in everything I have read 37 weeks is when full term begins - so a baby is good to come then or after

I need help from all you professional seamstresses!!!!
When you are putting a double ruffle on the bottom of a dress, how do you do it? As far as the length of the ruffles and spacing between the top and bottom ruffle! I have never done his before, and I am working on something for my etsy shop, so I want it to be PERFECT!(like that can ever happen!)

I am NOT a professional by any means. but when i do it i make one ruffle double the length of the other and attach them at once by sewing them together with the basting stiches I use to gather. It would depend on the look you want. This works well for stacked ruffles.

I'm in OK, that's OKLAHOMA for some of you folks. In the center of the state in the record breaking tornado town.

Oh My! I don't know how you do it! I am so scared of storms. My Papa was from OK...from the Pauls Valley area. He was Choctaw Indian and grew up there until he joined the Army in WWII and trained in NC where he met my Grandmother. She lived in OK during his first enlistment...she was terrified of the storms...keep in mind that was before TV warning! So when he came home, they moved back to NC.

I have visited a few times to see family that still lives there. Most of them still live in and around the area of Wayne. The last time I went was in 1997. It was such a great trip. I went with my Mom and my Papa. We visited the house he grew up in...barely standing. Okay...I need to get off of this...I am tearing up. I miss him so much!

THANKS SO MUCH for all the baby well wishes and for your ultrasound comments!! I really appriciate it!!

Okay! That makes sense! Thank you! And I bet you are the only person who knows where Flomaton is!

1. I really like the raspberry leaf tea. I was drinking it every night b/c my iron was down but I stopped just because I started forgetting. BUT I'm going to start again tonight b/c you reminded me

I had DD at 42 weeks...THAT SUCKED. That whole "what gets the baby in will get the baby out" philosophy never really worked for me

2. I think it's just the 4 preggos.

3. NESTING??? Can you come to mine when your done w/ yours b/c I have a mountain of laundry that I just can't find the energy to do. I keep just washing the bare essentials when I have no other option. Like tonight, otherwise DS will have nothing clean for school in the AM. DH will wash load after load but then it sits on my couch waiting to be folded until someone needs to sit there

When is everyone due though?? I am due July 5th

I have not posted in awhile but I am checking in each day. I am due July 13. After three girls, age 8, 2, and 1 this is our little boy. Definately a different experience and a huge surprise. I have just started sewing again and hopefully can post the girls beach outfits sometime this week.
Congrats to all those expecting. My hubby says that it is the year for boys. It seems that everyone we know is having boys.

Jessesgirl--I couldn't get this laptop to scroll over to get to the quote button. All of your stuff turned out great!

Okay- here is Eyore's tail at Crystal Palace (please excuse my hat head!!!!!) This was as close as DD would get to Eyore that day. We thought we were pretty funny taking pics with his tail.

Love the photo with Eyore's tail!!!

Oh my !!! I am soooo excited! My outfit got picked as the spotlight in the swak newsletter!!!! I hope this doesn't sound to braggish, but I was so excited when I checked my email and saw my outfit in the newsletter!

Mindy

Very cool!

I love all those little bitty towns. We lived in Gove Hill for a while up in Clarke county. I grew up in Mobile so it was an adjustment. Mom used to tell me to go order a pizza and I would get halfway to the phone before it hit me. The closest pizza is about 30 miles form here

I'm praying for your famlily, Beth

I'm also praying for Sally (and you), Miss Cammie.

I tried to comment on everything, but I'm feeling kind of sick today. I think I'm getting what Sawyer has had since Saturday- ugh.

I did read everything and I LOVE Sydni's handstand!!!

I also loved the Alice dress- it looks perfect!

I'm in Southwest Michigan, about 25 minutes from Kalamazoo- Home of American Idol's Matt Giraud!! I'm hoping he'll make it to the finals where they have a big celebration in their home town. I'll make the kids custom American Idol outfits and get them on tv!

I thought he was a goner last night- I can't believe the judges saved him!

Last night I made a pillowcase dress for my 2 year old and a pillowcase shirt for my 12 year old.

I never heard of making a pillowcase shirt, but what a great idea to coordinate them!

Wendy,
Sorry this took a few days.

I hope this matches her pretty panel George skirt.

I had to laugh or cry because I have been doing online tutorial for photoshop and saw a folder in my hotmail. Two years ago I was doing a tutorial on photoshop. Gotta love the TBI! I learn, I forget!

This turned out great. I really need to sit down and learn how to use photoshop.

just finished this nemo dress last night. it has a detachable apron. It is cloudy and icky today so I can not get modeled... so here it is....

Very pretty



You just sounded like you could use a hug.

Okay, so Sydni wanted me to show all of the ladies on the disney board her handstands! So here she is in all of her handstand glory!

And one last pic because they are just tooo cute:

Wish I could do that! You have beautiful girls!

Ok, here is my alice version of the precious dress:

I love the way your Alice turned out.

If you can , please, please say a prayer for our family. I am not allowed to discuss what is going on right now but I am in tears and need some major prayers. Please. I am very emotional right now and do not know how much more I can take. I know I haven't met most of you but I feel like I know all of you and I know you care. Thank you.

Praying for peace and guidance for you now.

I'm always around...just in lurker mode these days!!

Okay Disboutiquers...I have a quick request for prayers/good thoughts! My little step daughter is having surgery tomorrow,(Thursday), at 12:30pm East Coast time. It's nothing real big or life threatening but she is having general anesthesia and that always makes me nervous. She's having a cyst like thing removed from an area above her upper lip. You can't see it at all when you look at her, but it causes her to bite her lip a lot. We were told it should come out. She had surgery to have this thing removed for the second time last week. The first time she had this done two years ago the doctor doing it had no business doing that kind of surgery. At all. He admits this. He's not a surgeon. He said it was a quick in office "procedure". Not so much. He made a terrible mess of it, Sally had a post op infection and he didn't get all of it. We went to a plastic surgeon for this go round b/c the cyst had grown back. Apparently it's a very tricky little thing to get out. After the pathology report came back last week the surgeon discovered he didn't get all of it b/c some of the cyst was in the facial muscle. This makes the surgery much more complicated and poor Sally will have quite a bit more pain in recovery.

anyhow...I would appreciate any good thoughts and/or prayers. I love this little girl so much and it kills me that she is having to go through this a third time. My biggest prayer will be that the surgeon will get EVERYTHING and we can leave this behind us for good. This is a heck of a way for Sally to end her spring break, but she is being such a little soldier.

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated!

Praying for Sally. How old is she?

If you can , please, please say a prayer for our family. I am not allowed to discuss what is going on right now but I am in tears and need some major prayers. Please. I am very emotional right now and do not know how much more I can take. I know I haven't met most of you but I feel like I know all of you and I know you care. Thank you.

Praying for you

Sorry, I forgot, I am from the Rocky mountain west. Yes, there is snow on the ground...again.

I did start to sew again last evening. I am in the process of laying out the pattern on a border print fabric and having a time of it. But I am making something.

I wanted ask about the Big gives I haven't signed up because the little boy died by pulling out his trac. I know there is no happy endings, they are Wish kids but it really tore at my heart and I am having a problem. Why is that? Is it normal? It is such a good thing to sew for these children and I know the family appreciates what we all do but the pain to know that a little child has died tore me apart. ???

 

[sweetstitches]

I have been sewing today... I love it when that happens
Two pairs of pj pants for DS...

The flannel is super soft. I want some for myself...maybe not the same prints

and a pair of cropped pants for DD from the stretch denim I got from the remnant rack. I added some decorative cording..or what ever you want to call it. I think it turned out pretty cute.

I think I might be addicted to that Easy Fit pattern.

Why, you've gotten a lot accomplished. I need a sewing day like that. Everything turned out great.

I live in the tiny tiny town of Flomaton! Seriously, it is sooo small, there is not even a grocery store!LOL We go to Mobile some for shopping!

Sorry, not to be making fun of your town, but Flomaton sounds like something from a Dr. Suess book. The name just cracks me up.

I've in IL about 30 miles west of Chicago. We are probably moving to the Houston area (probably Katy) later this year. I just don't know when yet. Hopefully I'll know by next month. My DH's company takes forever to make decisions.

My embroidery machine should be arriving later today!!! I am so excited! I know it will take me a little while to get the hang of it, but I can't wait to learn!

I have a question though..... I bought and downloaded a pattern from http://www.stitchontime.com/ since it was recomended, but I am a little confused. I understand the beginning part when it shows the same outline 3 times..... the first time it stiches the outline, then you add fabric for the second, cut the extra fabric and then the 3rd time it finishes it off. I am looking at the safari minnie, and the first few things (the black for ears and nose, and the hat in green) show the same outline 3 times so I get that..... but after that it only shoes 2 for later things. For example her face it only shows the outline twice..... at what point do I put down the fabric? Same thing with the mouth.... only shows it being outlines twice.

I am hoping there are other's like this and that someone knows why there is only 2 outlines for some things instead of 3, and can help me figure out when I put the fabric down for those things.

Thanks!
