[GoofyG]

I know this is kind of a silly question...but I was just trying to get an idea of what state everyone was from? Thanks.

OK,
we just got named the worst state for natural disasters. Isn't that sad!

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!

Prayers and hugs heading your way.

It is too late for me to be up!!! I was like "OK, what???" it took me a minute to realize that you meant OK....L-A-H-O-M-A I'm such a dork.

 

[karenTX]

Lord, if you can hear me right now- 37 weeks would be fine with me!!

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.

and to Sally. Praying for her tomorrow.

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.

Hey, what week was your little princess born? I have a 28 (stopped growing at 26) and 32 weeker.

We are in Austin, TX

to those who need them tonight!

I didn't get the machine out tonight, but I hand sewed my first 3 hairbows ever (no more wasting $$ for me.) I'll try to figure out how to post pics tomorrow, if that's ok

 

[bclydia]

Prayers going out for all those who need them.
Wishing you all peace.

Im worried about her, she has never slept anywhere without us and she has only met the family I made arrangements with once (saturday they babysat her for 4 hours). They are a REALLY nice family- but there are twin 6 yr old boys, 7yr boy and 8yr old girl- MUCH busier household and of course we wont be there.
i wondered if DH should pick her up and bring her to hospital for an hour or so to meet her new sister and see us- but DH thinks that would be worse- because she would have to say goodbye again????? Should I have her come and then send her back to the family watching her, or wait til we get home?

Jacob loved coming to the hospital but he was never a separation anxiety riddled kid. I think your Megan would feel important but saying goodbye might be hard. You do what you think will be best.

Do be prepared for some adjustment when you get home. My parents came and watched Jacob when I was in the hospital and fed him McDonalds every meal and let him skip his naps and let me tell you he was ornery when I got home! It broke my heart to put him into time outs first thing but I had to get him back on his schedule so I could deal with the new baby. Just be prepared for that!

My Megan has only had one birthday party in her life (summer baby) so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just make a special day for the two of you and then her favorite dinner when your husband gets home from work. I am sure she will be fine!

Wow, can she come over and teach Megan? Megan just started a cheerleading class and they are trying to teach her handstands and cartwheels. The girls look so cute together!

I could tell it was Alice right away: great job on it!

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!

Poor Sally and poor you and Jay! Hope things go well!

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.

Oh Beth, I hope everything works out. If anyone deserves happiness it's you.

I love these! I like that they can go with many different shirts. I might have to case that for summer!

I think I have posted this embroidery machine before but check her out:

http://www.babylock.com/embroidery/ellure-plus/

I think this one runs around $1000 or maybe $1200???? If I gathered a group of us who would be willing to buy it (like 5 or 6 or more of us), do you think the dealer would discount it for all of us....like down to $800???? I mean, the economy how it is, I can't imagine business is exactly booming right now???

What do you think and are you interested? Maybe PM me if so!

Cathy - This one looks really great. Reading the info it seems to have all the features that mine has which is more then plenty. I also think that is around the price that mine would be used now. Which to me is a great deal! Sad when I say $1000-1200 is a great deal.

I love that is has the USB connect. That is the one thing mine is lacking from being so old!!

Have you priced this out at your local dealer? Is that where you got the price from? I am asking because sometimes you can find a better deal online but I think since you couldn't shave off more then a couple hundred that I wouldn't worry about it and buy local if possible. They'll also be there for support and usually will offer some sort of free class.

Once you get it we'll let you in on all the secrets of where to get cheap thread and pre wound bobbins (a life saver) and what not! Really, they aren't secrets. They have all been posted if you have been taking notes!

 

[jessica52877]

Prayers being said for all! I hope everything turns out okay with the surgery.And Beth I hope all is okay.

As far as parties, Dallas' birthday party every year consists of just the 3 of us and sometimes his 2 grandparents. He thinks nothing of it and loves his parties! I do make him a special cake and outfit and decorate a bit usually with just streamers and balloons.

 

[jessica52877]

Oh, and I am in Georgia, northeast of Atlanta a bit.

Not enough to be out of the hustle and bustle of it and I have no idea how we aren't. We kept moving further out but it just keeps following us!

Ok so I have been sewing on and off for a while but I normally only do about 5 easy to moderate projects a year. You have all really inspired me ! I think I am going to use up my entire stash making things for my little one, I would love to make my big girl a few things but she says she is "too old" to have "mommy" sew for her .. yet she lets me make her hair bows LOL. Anywho I have a few little questions .. First does anyone have a Brother SE270D sewing/embroidery combo? If so do you have problems with it? I seem to have nothing but problems with mine and I am starting to think I need to take it and have it looked at. And lastly how in the world do you do all the applique with the characters? It looks like they are done on an embroidery machine but how do you get all the differnt fabrics in there? Are there any sites that could help me learn that ? I don't even know how to applique but I would love to make some princess appliques to put on our vacation outfits!

I had it for about a month and HATED IT! I went through 3 machines because it kept breaking. So thankfully my dealer would just exchange them. I was so sad when I had to just return it and loose the emb part of it. In the end a few months later I ended up with a different emb machine.
I know a few on here have that machine and LOVE it. I just figured it was me....

WOAH!! I go away to girls camp (I am the camp director over this area of my church's girls - the area, or stake as we call it (sort of like an archdiocese) which goes from Key West to about the middle of Miami-Dade County (near the airport) and you all get so chatty!! I mean finishing a thread and being more than 40 pages into the next one!! I read and looked at all the new creations - I am in awe!! I love Carla's new pattern!! Hopefully when I have a little one I will be able to be blessed to be selected as a tester (wishful thinking, I know, since I still consider myself a beginner - maybe beginner nearing intermediate.

Right before I left to camp we had an ultrasound, here is a picture of our little peanut (or as Dennis calls him/her, our Monkey - because it sure was jumping around and doing all sorts of acrobatics as we watched):

Here is a website I heard about on here that has a bunch of Alice embroidery/appliqués: http://stitchontime.com/osc/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=Alice&x=0&y=0

The baby is beautiful! you all are making e get the itch for another baby! I need to get past that real fast though!

I want to buy a small suitcase for Megan, to pack for her for when I have to go to the hospital- anyone have any suggestions?
I suppose I could use one of our black ones that's part of a set, but the "small" still seems really big for her.

Im worried about her, she has never slept anywhere without us and she has only met the family I made arrangements with once (saturday they babysat her for 4 hours). They are a REALLY nice family- but there are twin 6 yr old boys, 7yr boy and 8yr old girl- MUCH busier household and of course we wont be there.
i wondered if DH should pick her up and bring her to hospital for an hour or so to meet her new sister and see us- but DH thinks that would be worse- because she would have to say goodbye again????? Should I have her come and then send her back to the family watching her, or wait til we get home?

In the meantime I can't sleep at night, my pubic bone and back keep me constantly uncomfortable. I can't believe Im only 34 weeks- 6 weeks seems so far from now.

Today my parents called to say they wont be coming on Megan's birthday (which they said they would be doing for the last month). DH has his MIS (IT)support person leave, so he can no longer take the day off and DB abd SIL were going to come visit this weekend, but I guess that is out now too (SIL decided she wants to go to NYC instead) My Mom told me not SIL.
So Megan's 3rd B-Day will be just the 2 of us. I didn't/couldn't do a party this year, but I had at least expected to have family visit or mail her a card/present. DH's family wont be calling/showing up/mailing card either.
As kids growing up no one lived near us, so I got things in the mail on my B-day and I loved that. i suppose at 3 she wont care.
Sigh....sorry for the vent. I'm emotional today.

On a side note i can't blame my parents, they are really busy and i know my father's pain really limits him and i worry how many of Megan's b-days he will be around for- will he even be here next year???? IV injections and radiation have helped reduce pain in his back- but this week his chest/ribs are hurting (more cancer cells).

Boy- this is turning into a depressing post. I'm Sorry- but I know ya'll will understand.

doing Itty Bitty- I think I will have to put it on Megan's doll to show you how small it is!

Vent away any time!!!!
Have you checked the Disney store or disney online? Yrs ago Nikki got a cute princess bag.
Sorry all the family isn't going to be there on your little ones bday but like others have said make it special with just the 3 of you.
^ weeks is alot closer then you think!!!!! Before you know it you will be holding your new little one in your arms
As for your little one coming to the new baby at the hospital. Personally I say you need to bring her there for a bit. Nikki was 2.5 when I had Kyle and every one there made a HUGE stink about her being the big sister. she got a pin saying 'I'm a big sister' stickers all the nurses and drs made her feel special. She thought she was hot stuff. Of course at one point she sat in the corner coloring or so we thought and she proceeded to break evey crayon in her box!
One thing we did is we bought her a book from the baby and when she came to see Kyle we let her open it. To this day she tells Kyle that this was te 1sst gift he gave her.
My mom also gave her a barbie type baby doll set and I think it was my sil who gave her a baby with diapers and bottles so that when I feed Kyle she could feed her baby. These where all waiting at the hospital wen she came to visit him for the 1st time.
Try not to worry in the end everything will work out

It is too late for me to be up!!! I was like "OK, what???" it took me a minute to realize that you meant OK....L-A-H-O-M-A I'm such a dork.

T-beri you and I were on the same wave length..I was like what the heck? Took me a minute but I got it..

As for natural diasters I am in Iowa, and was in the thick of the floods last summer (which was the 2nd largest Natural diaster in histor next to Katrina) and the tornado on Memorial weekend. Granted our Tornados are not as frequent as you down there, it seems like we get more and more every year...hmmmm wonder about that?

 

[minnie2]

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!

Well, Rylie could not be left out, so here she is doing her "fip"

And then Sydni wanted me to show you her "drivers license" that she got today

And one last pic because they are just tooo cute:

Love those pictures! It is so cute when little ones show off like that!

Oh and we have the original version of the Princess tv. The one with the Purple mickey ears. I LOVE IT! The kids got a new tv from Santa this yr but I refuse to get rid of the pink Mickey TV! Nikki also has the fairies DVD player which is adorable! I Love the wand remote!

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

I love this pattern. I truly didn't think I could do collars and sleeves, but it was not as bad as i thought.
I this readily recognizable as Alice? I thought mabye it needs to be a little shorter. What do you guys think? I will porbably wait to closer to the trip to hem it up more incase she hits a growth spurt.

that is a perfect Alice dress!!!!!!!

I know this is kind of a silly question...but I was just trying to get an idea of what state everyone was from? Thanks.

I'm in IL. ICK!

I'm sorry you don't have any family close by that Megan can stay with. When my Mom had Heather, waaaaay waaaaaay back when, they didn't allow kids to come to the hosptial. It was HORRIBLE for me, absolutely HORRIBLE!!! I remember I cried a lot. I would have loved to be able to go to the hospital to see her, even if it was hard to leave it would have been better than not seeing her at all.

With my kids, I had them at the hospital while I was having them, so they got to see them right away. Mom and Heather brought the kids to the hospital to see me every day.

Michigan, cold, cloudy Michigan, about 30 minutes from Indiana.

that is sweet even when she was just born you adored your sister! I love that!
We would have had Nikki at the hospital when Kyle was born but Kyle decided he wanted to let us know it was time at 3am just like his big sister did so by the time they admitted me it was 5am and she was exhausted when my om got there. So she took her home for a short nap thinking she had plenty of time. Well Nikki was all riled up wouldn't sleep. Then I called my mom to say he was here and wouldn't you know she had fallen asleep about 15 minutes before! It nearly killed my mom having t wait until she woke up to come back to the hospital! Nikki was NEVER a sleeper but that day she slept a few hours my mom toyed with waking her up but she figured she wanted her in a good mood for the day.
The funny thing about my mom she actually bought Nikki a special dress to meet her brother in! And to be honest if she new about petti skirts back then I can bet Nikki would have worn one to meet Kyle for the 1st time!
I didn't realize you where that close to IN. I think we are about 1.5 for IN. I wonder how close you are to me! Maybe this summer we could meet half way if it isn't too bad?

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.
