First you don't need to tell me twice but we leave on May 9th, yes that is 23 days away!

Pixiefrnd, we leave on May 9 too! Where are you staying? We check in to BCV on May 9 and then VWL on May 11. I have promised DD4 a little mermaid costume for Princess Storybook breakfast & I haven't even bought the fabric yet:rolleyes1
 
I haven't called. Not high on my to do list. I am just puzzled over it. I assumed they got alot of calls today.

Poor Dallas. Such a rough night for a 6 yr old. I just mentioned going to the zoo on monday and the poor kid thought we were going to the San Diego Zoo and got all excited! :confused3

What kid thinks SD when their mother says zoo??? Obviously he has had a bit much in his life! To have a childhood like his!

That's hilarious! Love that Dallas and his good life! :thumbsup2
 
Stacey!!!!!:cool1::cool1:

Hello!!!! Stranger! How are you?

Unforch I am a terrible lurker. I want to post more (I have been sending vibes to those in need, loving on all of the gorgeous stuff posted, etc), my schedule is just INSANE. I work about 70 hours a week, and I am a single mom, so there are lots of things I neglect (laundry, the dishes. . .see a pattern?). No really, I am always checking in, just not posting enough.

Did you see the pics I posted? I have some great ones of Morgan! she is such a ray of sunshine!!!
 
Oh dear.... Anyone like banana bread.....

http://www.copykatchat.com/showpost.php?p=156048&postcount=2

I just tried this recipe, Ymmmm tasty. I don't know if its the cup of butter or two cups of sugar or the 7 bananas... but YUMMMMM.

My DS is a huge fan of the banana bread at Starbucks, but I can only pay 1.75 a slice for so long before I start making my own.
The recipe I have had for ages... doesn't come close to the moistness of the Starbucks one. This new one is crazy moist and super bananalicious. (can I just make up words?)

When I first read the recipe I thought she was a bit full of herself... but apparently she has reason to be.... gotta run, oven timer is going off with the second loaf.
 

Ok Ladies and Tom, I know I am new on here but I need some serious help, I am having a freak out moment :scared1::scared1::scared1: My husband called from work today and told me to figure out how soon we can go to Disney cause he needs a vacation. First you don't need to tell me twice but we leave on May 9th, yes that is 23 days away! What customs do I have time to do?? Need ideas for things that don't take too long to complete. I have 2 girls 12 and 7. Any and all suggestions needed, Thanks!

Yipee!!! I just got done cutting your fabric, packaging it up and will be in the mail tomorrow....get your thinking cap on!!!
 
I am in NJ, about 45 minutes from Philly and 55 minutes from my second favorite place in the world Ocean City. But apparently according to findyourspot.com I should live in North or South Carolina, because most of the towns it picked for me were in those states.

I live in South Jersy - about 45 minutes from Philly and an hour from Wildwood.

I live just a minute south of the Philly Airport - if anyone ever needs to park at my house, let me know!!! I also frequent Ocean City, NJ!!!! My mom has a tiny little place on East Station Road.....we love it there!! I have to go down and get Playland discount tickets this weekend!!

Does anyone know if that walmart in Jersey still has any fabric left? if so what percent off is it????

I'd LOVE to go to WDW or DL!!!!! Our next trip is Camp Promise - i know for sure I have 1 week off to go, still waiting on word about the 2nd -its so difficult to take time off at my work!!! Keepin my fingers crossed though!!

Prayers to everyone who needs them!!
 
sorry to take up board space, but on a "off topic"

LINNETTE - did u get my e-mail. Please just drop me a line and let me know.
 
SORRY!! :goodvibes But you do have four wonderful blessings, right :) You can share your mommy tips with us first timers and it will be very appriciated. I don't ever want to make you feel bad!

Oh don't worry about it.

I am very blessed to have my four............just wouldn't mind another one. I don't think it's in the cards though.

Wendy, I will be down in Ocean City this weekend to get my Playland tickets also !!! I'll keep my eye out for you. Are you going to the Doo Dah Parade? We are going, it starts at noon down on 6th(?) and Asbury and then heads up to the boardwalk and ends at the music pier. Sounds like such a fun parade, 500 bassett hounds dressed up in costumes:laughing:!!! Not sure about the Cumberland Mall area Walmart, my guess would be the fabric is now either 50 or 75% off, I believe they will be closing in early to mid May. Don't forget to check out the little fabric store on Asbury Ave, certainly never much on sale, but so cute with beautiful fabrics. :thumbsup2
 
Here's my Itty Bitty in size newborn- I can't believe how little it is, I put the quarter in the photo to try to give scale. This was sweet and easy, although it took me 3 days (Im so scatter brained!)
Would you believe today...I couldn't remember which way the fabric fed through my machine. WOW! It was only a moment- but still LOL!!!


I live in the northern part of Fairfield County in Conneticut- I am about an hour from NYC (LaGuardia Airport) and hour from Hartford.

I love the San Diego Zoo!! We have annual passes there too! :cool1:

So cute and so tiny! Its hard to remember when they are that small!
 
I'm from Northern Colorado, about an hour north of Denver, about 45 minutes south of Wyoming.
Hi Neighbor! Unfortunately we are on the other side of Wyoming from where you are, all the way to west and in the middle of nowhere. Really, it is snowing again. We have had to knock the snow off the dish 2x's already in just a hour.

I have rode Mary Jane and that area once. I also rode Steamboat. You have nice resorts there but I still like Snowbasin the best.
 
Hi ladies & Tom....I was just wondering if anyone has ever gone to or even been interested in doing a sewing retreat. I have friends that go and do a scrapbooking retreat 2x's a year and last one they went to they had told me that a sewing group had been in there before them. Just wondering if anyone had ever done this or even if you have ever had interest in one? I would love to do one...but maybe it's just me:confused3

I know...I am all questions lately, I did sew some a few things in the last week, but like I said before I lost my camera..and am trying to convience the wonderful boyfriend that we need a new one for our Disney trip...I mean you only go your 1st time once!

And I just realized I have been a disboard member for 1 year now...time sure does fly when you are obsessed :rotfl2:with looking at all the awesome stuff that is posted by all of you!
 
Pixiefrnd, we leave on May 9 too! Where are you staying? We check in to BCV on May 9 and then VWL on May 11. I have promised DD4 a little mermaid costume for Princess Storybook breakfast & I haven't even bought the fabric yet:rolleyes1

We were not supposed to be going at all but DH is really stressed out at work and needs a break, this is the week we usually go. This is going to be a low budget trip, he wouldn't agree to where I want to stay so we are at ASMu, got any extra room in your villa, I can sneak out after they fall asleep.:rotfl:
Glad to hear you still have sewing to do also.



Yipee!!! I just got done cutting your fabric, packaging it up and will be in the mail tomorrow....get your thinking cap on!!!

Thanks, yeah now just to figure out what I can get done in time. I also just signed up for the new Big Give and I have a customer going on a DCL in Sept. so I think I will be busy for awhile. Maybe that will keep me from snackin all day.:lmao:
 
And I finally finished a pettiskirt. I haven't tried it on my daughter yet, but I think it looks really good. I think on my next one I am going to add just a bit of extra yardage on each tier to make it a teeny bit more full, but I am really pleased with it. And if I just sit and take the time, it's really pretty easy!

I've ordered a bunch more chiffon and I can't wait to make a few more! Much better than shelling out $60!!

Thanks for looking!

Gorgeous :D I love the pink I couldn't find a light pink in New Zealand but thats ok :).
 
Oh my !!! I am soooo excited! My outfit got picked as the spotlight in the swak newsletter!!!!:cool1::yay::banana::banana::banana::dance3: 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:)
I just read my newsletter today and my first thought (other than how stinkin' cute it is) was "I know that outfit"! Congrats!!

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!
Ha Ha Ha... I know what you mean. When we moved to the Houston area in 1981, we were in the FAR REACHES of the 'burbs. As a girl scout we used to have a summer day camp on some farm land even further out. And now... that farm land is a Master Planned Community (and I live even further away from town than that). I read somewhere that the square milage of the Houston Metro Area is larger than the state of Delaware.

Though I wish I could explain the whole process in a way that hasn't been explained or linked to already that will help you KNOW that this is gonna work, it really is a process that you have to stitch out a few times for yourself to completely understand. Believe me, it works! Even if it doesn't stitch in the order that I think it should sometimes, in the end, it always works out.

Yeah - the first time I tried ME applique I just couldn't wrap my head around the process. But I sat down with some scrap fabric and watched the machine do its thing... Actually seeing all the steps made it clear and my next test stitch came out perfect.

Hi ladies & Tom....I was just wondering if anyone has ever gone to or even been interested in doing a sewing retreat.

I just found out that there is an occasional weekend quilters retreat at Lake Conroe (1 - 1.5 hours from me). It sounds like a good deal - $175 for 3 days with meals included. You can even come 2 days early for an extra $42.50 a day. I'm thinking about signing up for their October dates.

I'm going to look at a Long Arm Quilting Machine tomorrow!! I've had so much fun playing with my mom's machine that I'm thinking about getting one of my own.
 
Hello all, I have been lurking the DIS boards for about a month now, found it while researching my upcoming trip to WDW, and have read so many of your posts from the Disboutiquers. I just thought that this is the perfect place to have my first post placed since you all seem so wonderful!! I am a SAHM of 3 with DS 5 (almost) DD 3 and DD 9 months. We are a Homeschooling Army family. We are currently at Ft. Bliss Texas in Windy, Dry, El Paso and have been here about 6 months.

I am horrible about how often I have pulled out my sewing machine in the last couple of moves (5 stations in 6 years :) ) So I am hoping we stay here long enough to actually unpack all of my stuff, yes I am slow at unpacking! But I am going home to my DM and DMIL On Monday for two weeks, YAH, so I called and asked if they would help me or at least let me borrow there awesome equipment, so we can get a couple of simple dresses made for our kids first trip to WDW in July. Also at least a pair of shorts for my son. They are also both going to WDW with us and so is my soon to be step-father, My Grandma, My Grandpa, One Niece, My Aunt, and my Step-sister who is a great babysitter (Date Night here I come!!) So I am thinking if possible maybe simple Grand Gathering shirts or something also.

I hope to start making some clothing for my children and be able to post them here for you all to see and hopefully have some constructive critisicm PLEASE, I am sure I will need all the help I can get. I have not really sewn anything except patches on uniforms in at least 8 years. And 8 years ago I was not very good and pretty limited to doll stuff, blankets, and pillows/pillowcases. So this will be a new adventure.

Sorry to ramble on but I just wanted to say hi, and introduce myself to a group of people who really seem to be so great together.

Thanks
