I am having an extreme moment of righteous indignation and I would like you all to join in it with me.

So Fairygoodmother (aka Auntie Darla) generously offered to sew a Mary Poppins dress for a silent auction for charity.

This dress...

She is going to custom make the above dress in the winners size.

So the silent auction ends and the dress sells for...........






$15.00

I can not believe that! I know it is for a good cause but come on.
There was all of 2 bids one for 5. and the winning bid for 15.


I know Darla is feeling a little sad about this.

Come on join me in my righteous indignation....

okay i was just lurking tonight but i had to comment on this

are they out of their minds? it is easily worth ten times that. it is stunning

some people have no idea

I had to come out of lurkdom to be righteously indignant! That's insane! Tell whoever bought it I'll buy it off them for a lot more than they paid for it! (size 4 please ) They should have set a starting point for the bidding! WOW. I would not even feel right about paying only $15 for that gorgeous dress!

What? WOW! Oh my! I think if I was the winning bidder I would have donated more anyway! It is going to cost a whole lot more just to make it. It's a shame there wasn't a minimum bid. Again, WOW....

 

[Tinka_Belle]

These are the outfits sent out for the Tbelfonti Big Give


This one is for Olivia, can you guess who it is suppose to be? A lot of you have already seen this one on Facebook. I was just really slow posting it here!

and this is a Jasmine one for Maddie:

Ok, the first dress is suppose to be Ariel's pink dress:

I knew what the Pink one was before you said it. It looks great and I love the Jasmine too.

WOW on the $15 dress. I can't believe someone bid $5. That dress is worth way more.

Ok, so now that i have this embroidery machine coming i need to learn howto use it, and what supplies I need. Can anyone tell me what type of stabilizer I will need to buy to use with it?? I know I need some sort of sticky back, but what brand is best? Can I still use heat and bond to stick down applique fabric, or will I need to use something else. Anyone have a recomendation for brands of embroidery thread or a source to buy it? HELP!!! I am a little overwhelmed.

I have decided on a cupcake "theme" if you will for my shower. I like cake and cupcakes are like baby cakes... I'm going to use a cupcake stamp on my invitations. I need some clever and not dorky (okay it'll be hard to NOT be dorky but LESS dorky at least ) wording to go along w/ it. I keep thinking of the saying there's a bun in the oven but I can't make it equate to cupcakes. Someone help me out!!!

...t.

To tie it in I'm going to have cupcakes instead of cake AND do cupcakes in a jar for party favors. very cool...I am very excited to make cupcakes in Ball jars, how FUN does that sound????

...t.

I Love your idea of a Cupcake Theme

There is a cute site with some other "cupcake" crafts I like the candle idea

[surfergirl602]

how do I bid on the mary poppins dress???

Ahh, I didn't read it right - it ended already.

 

[mom2prettyprincess]

Here's the sleeping beauty dress that I made my dd for the DIsney Girl's Princess Tea Party last year...

Love this dress....Emma is so into sleeping beauty!

I am asking for prayers again...no wonder my blood pressure is high...I just can't believe that about five months after my husband got laid-off from his previous job, we are going through this again at his new job! We will find out within the next two weeks or so if dh will still have a job. So please say a little prayer for dh, and for all those at his work!

Prayers for you! Positive thoughts!

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT!! Please convince her to do a simple version (if she is even doing it) without all the trimming - sort of like the princess sundresses I've seen. . .

I will join you, that is terrible. I can't believe it went for so little. I would have to agree with the PP on making the simplest version possible at that price.

WOW! That's just unbelievable! There should have definitely been a minimum bid set. That is just not right!

There are lots of different kinds of stabilizer. I think the best thing to do is try a couple of different ones. I always use sulky stabilizer. Depends on the fabric as to weather I use sticky or not. I use iron on stabilizer for cotton and I use cut a way stabilizer for T shirt knits. I use spray on adhesive to attach the stabilizer to the T and then float the whole thing on sticky. But I am sure I do it the wrong way. It is what works for me!!

Threads, I got a 200 thread box when I got my machine. They threw it in with my sewing machine package. I rarely use it! I generally use the basic threads that I get at my local fabric store. And I buy it when its 40-50% off!

I'm sorry, but i am really anovice when it comes to machine embroidery. So it's ok to use the same sulky tear away I have been using to hand applique on an embroidery machine? What does floating something mean?? Sorry for all the questions!

The name really does say it all! I finished my first today, and just have to say I am in LOVE! I was sooo afraid of this pattern, but it was really very easy! I also learned quite a bit while making this dress! You were right Carla! It was simple and it turned out better than I expected! Excuse my model, she is EXTREMELY grumpy today! Hopefully I can get better pics later!

I love this!! This fabric is from Joann's and I haven't been able to find it again since about this time last year. I made DD this set with it last Spring.

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!

There is a great Marshmallow Fondant with out that icky taste on Cakecentral dot com. Also for a guitar cake I know Michael's has one, but it would be just as easy to bake your cakes and cut it to the shape you want and decorate appropriately. I made my son a guitar valentine box by tracing his child size guitar. you could use froot by the foot rope for guitar strings or regular pipping.
