These were sets for a Big Give (for sisters) and I used 6 fabrics with 4 strips each.

Awww that is so cute!!

Thank you to everyone for the nice comments about all my outfits I forgot to put the actual disney one on her so here it is. It was nice to hear how everone liked the jellyfish skirt. It is starting to grow on me maybe I won't take it apart to see where i went wrong. I love all the new twirl skirts and darla I love the costumes. I wish I had the sewing machine that was pictured. Look like it would be fun to have. Well I hpe you all have a nice day I am off to finish cutting out my 45 headbands. And sew them if I make it through all of them I will share. To all.

So cute!

Here are the completed outfits for 6 yr old Joseph's Big Give! He is really looking forward to meeting Snow White so I made a bowling shirt with a cool fabric picture on the back. I ordered it from . Then I made a stripwork twirl dress for his 2.5 yr old little sister, Abbigail. What a blast and I really enjoyed trying out the new machine. I made Joseph's entire outfit on it (I already had the dress done). Now its onto trying out a machine applique!!!

And here is a close up of the first button-hole which the machine measured and did automatically!

I hope they like them and I hope they fit ok...I followed the measurements and the bowling shirt I enlarged via photocopier directions from Carla!!! Its such fun doing these projects!!!!

I think these turned out great!

Update on Daniel - I know many of you continue to pray for my Daniel - he is doing pretty well right now as far as his health goes. His 2 big issues are weight loss ( he is getting sooooooo thin so he has no reserve if he were to get sick) and then just the damage from the tumor removal is resolving so slowly (posterior fossa syndrome) - I know too much compared to the others in our family, and sometimes that makes it so hard. He is still just very silly all the time and laughs and giggles at anything - makes him have a hard time with any school work they are trying to do with him.....but better than than being depressed and crying all the time, right??? Keep praying - he still has a long road of recovery!!!

Thanks friends!

Aww thank you so much for the update on Daniel. We continue to pray for him!!!

WOW! You guys have been busy! I am back from a few days in the woods for a team building retreat. It was soooo great, but I am not really an outdoors person. The first morning, our team had to make a commitment that our goal was everyone complete the task even before we saw it. This was the task:

We had to climb that tree (ladder 1/2 way up, then staples to the top), put our toes off the edge of the platform and jump- 3 of our teammates were holding our rope. Scary!!! It was soooo much fun though to do as a team. We really all got a lot closer after that. We also had to be the "lead rope holder" (can't remember the correct term) as well. That was almost as scary as jumping. I didn't want my teammates to get hurt!

As soon as they load, I will post pics of Disney on Ice (front row!!) and Cooper's doggie party.

YOWSERS!!! I couldn't do it....uggg!! Major kudos for you for completing your task!!!

A few weeks ago, I had the kids portraits made- I am just in LOVE with these. I had to take pics of the framed pictures. To reduce the glare, I had to take them slightly from the side.

All 3 hanging on my wall

And the GIGANTIC (24x30) pic that we got. I didn't realize how huge it would be. I love it though.

OMG I LOVE these portraits!!! The photographer did a fabulous job but she/he definitely had two adorable boys to work with. I wouldn't have expected anything less....they are so handsome!!!

Disney on Ice pictures. It was really hard to get good pics. The fog was thick!! And I got so caught up in it, I forgot to snap some pics. Here a few of the characters that were sooooo close

The boys before it all started.

up next- doggie party pics

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shirts!!!! So glad you guys had a blast at Disney on Ice.

Doggie party

I don't have many pics without other kids in them. Here are a few

The kids all started out adopting a doggie. I had adoption certificates for each kid. The doggies:

Then, they made a tag for themselves and their doggies:

Then the vet center

Then some doggie treats (combos, slim jims, cocopuffs, cereal straws that looked like raw hide)

There was also an obstacle course, but all of those pics have other kids in them. We had hot dogs and burgers. The kids all ate out of dog bowls. Cooper really got into the spirit of the doggie party-

Lots of other kids "ate with their faces" as Cooper puts it. They had soooo much fun! Lastly, my little guy with his cake and cupcakes. Lots of our friends won't eat either chocolate or vanilla. you can't please everyone, but i try- chocolate cupcakes and vanilla cake.

Thanks for looking.

What an AMAZING birthday bash!!!! I bet your little guy remembers this one forever!

Thought you ladies would enjoy this one. We went to look at a house today. There is a master suite with bedroom, walk-in closet, bath, and then this random other little room off of it. I guess some people use it as an office/others as a nursery. Randy response to it: Well that would make a nice scrapbooking/sewing room for you FINALLY, I got through to him

YEAH!!!! That is so awesome.....!!! Did you put an offer in yet...hahaha.

You have to rip open the jeans up the seams. Depending on the brand depends on whether I open the inside or the outside seam.

Here is a pair that I did "by hand"

and one using the machine

Oh my gosh, look how little Dallas looks there in that first picture. He is so cute!

I dress my 9 year old in lots of customs and her favorites are the twirl skirts. I'm starting on one for her tonight. Here is her in one I recently made for a Big Give (also for a 9 yo).

The one thing she won't do, no matter how much I try to pay her... is wear anything that looks like a costume (no Cinderella dresses for her)

Awww she looks adorable in that outfit. I am so glad to hear that she still likes some customs!!

I totally want sohappy to adopt me. LOL I'm probably older than her, but does it matter? That party looks AWESOME!

 

[mommyof3princess]

Hi Guys
Has anyone seen any disney iron on patches lately? Goofy, pluto, Marie??

THanks, wendy

I bought Goofy last year at Joanns. And I just bought the Fairies patch at WOD.

Ok-it won't let me copy the part I want to

I saw "adoption celebration"-We have quite a few adoptive families on this board!

Congrats on the celebration!!!!!

 

[emcreative]

Thanks!

We're adopting two boys. One will be "anytime now", he just turned 1 on Friday. We are also adopting his "older" brother (by only 11 months!), he will be 2 at the end of May, and his adoption is scheduled for August. We also have 3 girls, aged 12, 8 (on Saturday) and 9.

I wish I could show you a pic of them all! One of the things I'm looking forward to about having the adoption over with is being able to show off pics of my new sons!

Love the pictures of your boys! Jackson and Cooper are such cuties and I love the barefeet! Those are my favorites in pictures! This reminds me that I need to get an appointment for Lilly to get her pictures done.

The b-day party is fantastic! What a great theme, that is so orginal. I am not the least bit creative with themes and I hate having b-day parties. It's absolute torture for me! That really is a fantastic idea! And you were so brave to have it in your house! That really is a lot of work!

Can you have your DH talk to mine please!

SO I have a question for you crafty ladies...(of which I am NOT one, but I love what y'all create!)

Is there some unwritten rule that says you don't dress your kids in awesome handmade Disneywear once they wear more than a 6?

Okay okay I know I'm kinda kidding here, and I do understand that a lot of patterns are made for the little ones, but it seems like there isn't much ebay etsy anywhere for the bigger girls so I wondered if it was just a lack of patterns available or something?

My oldest is 5 turning 6 in July and she will still wear anything I make and really seems to prefer it if it is twirly. I am very afraid though that once she starts school in the fall (we "red" shirted her a year since her b-day was just a few weeks before the cut-off) she will think it's not "cool" to have clothes that Mom made. She seems to be very sensitive to the "cool" thing so we will see how it goes! But I will force her to wear customs when we go to WDW if necessary!

I was looking through some older pics and came across some that I got a kick out of......

Morgan's first thoughts on SW (She had been in this country about 2 weeks LOL)

 

[MouseTriper]

You look beautiful! Seeing you makes me miss being pregnant! I am trying to talk Darren into just one more but right now he's being stubborn. We'll see who will win in the long run (although I want to get pregnant somewhere between Sept. - Oct. so I don't have that long to see).



CATHY, why won't you go to WDW again without your kiddos? Darren and I went before we had kids and it was fantastic. Did you feel guilty about being there without them? I could totally see that happening. I really want to go back by ourselves again but I think I would feel bad about leaving them. I guess that trip will have to wait until they are grown. But I am excited about going away for a week with friends to my parents FL house this summer! We've never left the girls before (together anyway - and I've only left the older two once for 4 nights) so we'll see how it goes. I need a break!

 

[2cutekidz]

I do art (I would post my link but I'm not sure if you could do that? It's nothing for sale) so I did make them wear matching iron=ons our last trip, but that's as crafty as I get with clothes.

My girls really like a lot of the stuff we see, but then I find it's usually only toddler sizes!

I unfortunately cannot sew on a button, but I've loved going through this thread today seeing what you all have created. Decided I'd better say hi so I didn't feel so much like a stalker, lol!

I couldn't sew 2 years ago when I started reading this thread, so never say never!!

I forgot to add...is that Westland, MI? If so, I lived there until 3rd grade! My parents graduated from John Glenn and we used to live near Wayne Memorial!

Yep, Westland, MI. I've live in the same city all my life. I went to John Glenn too.

Your daughter is so beautiful. I have always loved your work. Do you have a problem with people caseing your work? I rather ask then assume. Thank you.

Thanks!! I don't mind CASEing if it's for personal use, but not for selling. Thanks for asking first!!

T - you are a beautiful pregnant woman!!

Hey Beth clean out your Pm's LOL

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

My Grandmom dies last night. She had breast cancer with mets to the brain. She was started getting morphine every hour for the pain she was in. It has been really hard explainning it to my girls, Juliet gets it kind of, but Joci keeps saying "we can go see her when she gets better", Evie will never remember her though. I tried to read the only book I had that dealt about a child losing someone but had a hard time reading it without crying. She is the first death we have had in the family that was someone they knew & saw. I am not sure how else to explain it to them so they understand. Any one have any good kids books about someone who was sick and died not just really old & died?

OOps.....sorry, all cleaned out!!!

Awww I am so sorry about your grandma. I am sorry I can't help you on the books but I just wanted to say your family will be in my thoughts and prayers!

it's true, some patterns don't go past the size 6, however, what you want ot look for is someone who has an outfit for sale- but then lists that she will make it up in the size you request So it might say "custom sleeping beauty size 2,3,4" etc. You could also PM the seller if you see an outfit, but want to know if they can make one in your requested size- Etsy has some really cute outfits that are often available in a "will make this in your size" type auction. You could also check out HyenaCart as well as the famous auction site.

Who has made playfood? Pictures please! I am in the mood to buy some/make some and trying to figure out which patterns I want to buy vs just figure it out!

I think I love the one with cotton candy (and I can't stand that crap!).

I don't have a pattern but there was a 9yr old in my class last night that made a cheeseburger and it was her first sewing project- it was cute, had cheese, pickles, lettuce, burger, bun, etc


THANK YOU to all who offered suggestions on removing the polish, Im going to try and get some more nail polish remover tomorrow and see if that helps.

Our A/C isnt working properly today and its been in the 90s the last 2 days, and I tried rerunning my washing machine and it still didn't drain so I have 2 things to make phone calls about tomorrow. AND my parents want to come visit with some friends visiting from CO- I hope it's at least comfortable in the house tomorrow. Its certainly not right now. My feet look like they belong to an elephant.

T you look awesome!!!

Im not sure- I think it was SoHappy who commented on my applique question- yes- it is a very heavy piece and I think thats exactly the issue, today I was working on other areas that aren't so dense/heavy and did not have those issues, but when I had to shift to working on another area, I had to be VERY careful not to wiggle the needle or it would "hop"

i also used my button instead of my presser foot today to try and keep my feet up- it worked about half the time, but I still like to control the speed with the foot. But at least I know I can do it.

Night folks! Thanks for all your helpful suggestions today.
