She is all grins and no teeth!! hehehe Georgia lost her other top tooth today at school! She was so darn excited. She actually pulled this one out. She was so happy she didn't swallow it this time.

she is adorable. I love that she lost a tooth. Was she ok with it? Don't forget the tooth fairy this evening.

Thanks for the comments on Leighanna's picture. I wasn't sure if I should be mad at her, or laugh when I saw her picture. I decided to laugh, and wrote a check out for the whole package!
That is her beloved puppy "Pink Spots". It looks like a pig in the photo at first glance, but it is a puppy.
She is so original with naming her stuffies. "Brownie", "Blackie", "Stripey", .....etc. You get the idea! I told her she should be glad we didn't name her that way, or her name would be "Wrinkly"!

Megan does the same thing, she has been branching out from the colors though. She has a bunny named hoppy and a turtle named slowy. Her name at birth would have been BigHead.

Prayers are going out to those who need them.

LOL At least that is better then what we actually called Nikki! When she was or she had the Cone head. So my mom and I kept joking we should play ring toss with her like the old SNL cone heads. Well a nurse walked in when we where cracking jokes and laughing about it well that nurse did NOT find it as funny as we did! To this day my mom says she is stil amazed that nurse didn't report us! NOT THAT we did it!!!!!

Thanks I used this one http://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/clothing-creation/How-to-Make-a-Newsboy-and-Cloche-Hat.htm
It is fairly easy the sizing is off but other then that very simple! My mom keep saying it is her Hannah Montana hat so I guess it is a good tween hat. I was afraid it would be too babyish....
I think I need to make a really little girly one for my niece.

Thank you!! Is the sizing too small or too big? I really like the one you made for Nikki, my DD would love it. Can''t wait to see the one you make for your little niece.

My brain is a little mushy right now, but let me see if I can explain this. On page 10 - you start with the fabric RIGHT SIDE DOWN with the selvage edges on the left and right side. You're going to fold over a section from the right side that is just slightly wider than the pattern piece that you are going to cut. When you fold this piece over, you will see the RIGHT SIDE on the top on the right side where you just folded it over. Since you won't fold it over all the way over to the selvage edge, you won't see the right side except in the area that you folded over. (did that make sense?) So the area where you see light is the area that is unfolded, and the area that you see dark is the folded area. You're going to pin your pattern to the folded area and cut on the fold. Do the same with the lining fabric. Hope that helps.

Thanks for your help! I think I overcomplicate things sometimes. I was able to get all of my pieces cut out after the my girls were in bed.

My Grandfather in law went into the hospital last night. He may need surgery but if he has surgery he could die. He has a bad heart and is on many many meds. So they are doing other treatments to try and avoid surgery. They live in AZ so we don't get to see them much. Please keep him in your prayers.
Thanks

Hello Everyone!!

Tom- Wrinkly! You are too funny!

Wendy- love the dresses!

Linnette- how sweet of you to mail fabric for her, you have a heart of gold

Who else on our thread is into making cloth diapers? If you are, please PM me.

Last night I feel like I won the worst Mommy award. I am sleeping on the couch because it's too painful to sleep in bed. Megan WOULD NOT go to sleep, it was like someone fed her sugar. She kept waking up and crying every hour or so. Finally at around 12:45 she woke crying again, I went in to see what the matter was, normally its something she needs- like a diaper change, etc. But no, she is upset the bandaid (which she didnt need) she had on her knee fell off, and then the blankets weren't quite right. There was no pleasing her. The past few days DH has been revving her up for her birthday and her BIG PRESENT. I told her she needed to settle down, stop crying and go to sleep, or no present tomorrow. She sucked it up and sniffled and I thought that would be the end. I went back to the couch, she started crying again. i ignored her.
Finally DH gets up and goes in and she tells him, thru her sniffles..."I want to have a present tomorrow" He takes her to bed with him. At 1 am we all manage to go to sleep.

Today Megan is 3 years old!


I can't believe she is 3!
I plan to make tie dye cupcakes (sans frosting) for her today. I dont have "gel" but I have the regular food coloring and yellow cake mix, hope it works.
I made her a "Happy Birthday" pillowcase yesterday that came out cute.

Are there any cake bakers/decorators on this thread? Sydni will be turning six soon and I need to make her cake!!!! I made Rylie's on her birthday, but that was fairly easy! Sydni wants to have a Hannah Montana party and I thought it would be cute to make a guitar cake! Also, I don't know how to decorate it without using fondant, but I can't stand the way fondant taste! Does anyone have any good recipes for cakes or know what I can use for icing? I really can't afford to pay 40-50 dollars for someone to make it, so any help would really be appreciated! I am hoping I can practice enough before then to actually make the cake look good!

The LaVida and Linnette Feliz are amazing!! They are gorgeous. . . when I have a little girl I will be begging for those patterns Linnette!!

Marshmallow Fondant is suppoed to taste better. Here's a good link for it: http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm

Plus if you frost under it, you can remove the fondant for eating (or people can at their discretion).

It is just odd sizing I can't explain it. No clue what material or what I will do for my nieces hat. I am hoping I will know it when I see it!

I need your help!!
Does anyone know where I can get buttonhole elastic without buying a huge roll? I need about 20 inches. Does anyone have some they want to sell?
Thanks

Do you have a cake shop near by. You could rent a guitar shaped pan.



Adi: I love your crafty button! That is SO hilarious!!!!!

 

[Stephres]

Well, I actually completed some projects so I am feeling good. Last week was a hectic week and I felt like I got nothing done.

Here is the dress with sleeves, it was so easy! I was kind of putting off the sleeves but they really were easy. It reminded me of the bowling shirt pattern. Lots of steps but each step is simple.

I copied Jeanne and made a sash but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to tie it! I have looked at Carla's instructions 20 times and still can't do it!

I made it with snaps this time because the Hello Kitty sewing machine does not make the best buttonholes. If you do use snaps, you'll want to use your zipper foot when encasing them, I learned the hard way that if you don't you'll get a wavy line.

Also, I broke a needle topstitching so I would recommend a denim needle when you are going through so many layers. I can't wait until Megan tries it on!

With the leftover scraps I made a wristlet and tote bag for the silent auction Friday. If I have time I would like to make some hippie jeans too, but I still have a lot of PTA errands to run (plus I don't remember the last time I did laundry, lol):

I like the patchwork tote bag someone posted so I copied (plus I didn't have enough pink fabric). I thought I would be clever and do the squares on the diagonal. What a PITA that was! If I never see another square again it will be fine with me!

I am wondering it is will appeal to a kid who is not into quilts and stuff. Sometimes I make things and think it is cool but wonder if non-sewing people will feel the same?

LOL - I found it over on the Moms to Be thread, and thought it would fit in well over here, lol!

I love the bag! I'm not a kid, but I would buy it!

You all know I don't sew, so I lurk (everyday) I made a new design for someone on my creative design thread. I was pretty proud I learned how to download some new brushes (well my son showed me) and make a new type effect.

Love everything that has been posted the last 20 pages or so! And praying for all who need it!

If you find a guitar cake, just get a regular tip for lines and a star tip and some bags and practice a little. Stars are the easiest of the cake tips to use. You could practice with cans of Wilton frosting, but that can get pricey. You can easily make frosting with powdered sugar though. (Making cakes with fondant really is a lot less time consuming and the results are often better if you haven't had much practice.)

If you can't find a guitar pan, you could try arranging cupcakes into a guitar shape. Lots of bakeries are doing this now instead of using specialty pans. I would google Hannah Montana or guitar cakes. I'm sure there must be something out there.

Love to see it when you finish!

Try this
http://www.parents.com/fun/birthdays/themes/birthday-party-music-mania/

It uses a regular cake pan and you just cut it to shape. Use regular frosting and decorate it with candy. I think it would be cute.
