Disboutiquers Part 13 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[MouseTriper]

Just a request for prayers today. One of my former students passed away on Apr. 6th--he was 7 years old. His mother is having a very difficult time and the funeral is this morning. He had severe asthma. His mother gave him a breathing treatment at 2:30 a.m., set her alarm for 5:30 and he was gone when she woke up....his heart gave out from all the strain of attacks through the years.

He was one of the most caring and considerate children I have taught. Those of us who worked with him have been given 2 hours off to go to his funeral and it will be so difficult to be calm and cheerful for the rest of the day (as it has for the last 11 days!)

Because of medical expenses, the family has very little money. I am so proud of our staff--people have contributed just over $2,000 to help pay for his funeral

Pray for his family please.

This breaks my heart, I am so sorry. I will be praying for this family. This is so sad!

I have some very exciting news!!!! My nephew just found out he is getting a full academic scholarship to college!!!!! I am so proud of this kid! My sister...let's just say we haven't always seen eye to eye on how she has chosen to live her life and the choices she has made over the years concerning her children. (she tends to put herself first, I always put my kids first...funny...she always wanted kids...I never saw them in my future when we were little! Funny how life works!)

So anyway...my parents and myself have always tried very hard to stay apart of the kids lives even when my sister would push us away. So...I feel like I have some investment in his future and am SOOOO proud of what he has done!

And on top of that! HE has his very first girlfriend and they are going to prom! He is excited! My sister can't afford to help him pay for anything...so my parents are paying for his tickets and tux rental and I am picking up the flowers and dinner. And we are going to split the cost of pictures.

And...my other nephew (his twin) who decided to drop out of school when he was 16, is going to community college now to get his GED and wants to work on going to CC for now so he can also get a degree. I am also proud of him and very hopeful he will find his spot! I know going to HS with a twin that excelled at all stuff was very hard for him and hope that finding his own place will help him! (BTW...he has a girlfriend too...they have been dating/hanging out for some time now...I think she motivates him!)

I can't believe those little bundles I held all those years ago are growing up!

Awww that is wonderful news!! How exciting for the both of them. I think it is wonderful how you and parents are helping them out!!!

Piper_ Prayers and thoughts are being sent your way! I am so sorry to hear this! Sydni has very bad asthma as well, we do breathing treatments and this just is really scary to think about! So sorry for this family's loss!

Just two days ago I posted about needing some desperate prayers. So many of you replied to my post and/or sent me PM's. I was once again overwhelmed with the kindness and caring showed by all of you. I am in tears right now and I am shaking over what I have to tell you now. These are happy, unbelievable tears though!!!

Just one hour ago I received a call from our attorney.....to make a VERY LONG story short, we are one BIG step closer to being able to adopt our beautiful baby boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are not out of the woods yet but this step was a HUGE ONE and we were told the other day this part of the decision probably would not be made until sometime around September!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! September I tell you!!! You guys all prayed for us and JUST TWO DAYS LATER we get some of the BEST news we have had in almost a year and a half!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW PRAYERS REALLY DO WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN NEVER THANK YOU GUYS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!! I am still sitting here crying, I am such a sap, please excuse me!! I just can't believe it, it is incredible!!!!

Please, please if you can, keep the prayers coming. They are working, I tell you...REALLY WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's great news!

Good morning ladies..prayers and well wishes to all who need them! What a wonderful support group you all are...
I know I don't post much on this side of the board but after seeing all the cute Feliz dresses I finally bought the pattern! My question is do you have any special tips about it? I cut my pattern pieces out on shower curtain liner to use over and over. The dress seems fairly simple, especially with the follow along tutorial from Trillium and the 20 page tutorial from....Farbenmix?...Here is the fabric I am using for the 2 dresses. They are for my god-daughter...I have 3 boys so I do get to sew for here at least. They are taking a trip (her first) in November to Disney. I am making a round neck Minnie dot...white in the middle more red on bottom....the Tinkerbell Feliz, The cute Orange and Yellow Feliz, and possibly a strip skirt...back to my question...any great tips you want to share Thanks so much ladies...now if I can just find my post again, this thread moves soooo fast!

[/URL][/IMG]
The Orange dot-underdress, Yellow-overdress & pockets, Brown-ruffles and with maybe an owl embroidered on them.

[/URL][/IMG]
The undersdress is the tink, the overdress is the blue and the green sparkles will be three ruffles with the tink showing in between and 2 front pockets...Oh I can't wait to get started!!!

I haven't made the feliz yet. I'm a little leary of trying it but I do have the pattern. Perhaps you have given me a little kick to get started.

Hi ladies,

I've lurked on this thread since last June and finally decided to post. You all inspired me to try my hand at sewing before our trip to WDW last July. I made a few things for the trip, some of which fell apart! Since then, I've become kind of an addict! I'm slowly getting better thanks to CarlaC's wonderful patterns! I work full-time as an RN so my sewing time is kind of limited but I get a few things done here and there.

You are all so amazing, I wish I had a fraction of the talent that I see on these boards!

Welcome!!! We'd love to see some photos. We just love Carla's patterns around here!

I just wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU HEATHERSUE!!!! for helping me out! I finally got an etsy shop up and needed some things and Heather helped me out and answered all my obnoxious questions! So THANK YOU!! Here is my latest that I just finished last night:

My little model is not home today, so no pics of her in it yet!

Congratulations on your new Etsy shop!! Great dress!

Piper,

That is just awful, I will be praying for that family. That's so scary, we have friends that lost a child to asthma.

Did you get your daughter's name from Willow? I have a niece whose name is Alora Dannon because her dad loved that movie. They changed the spelling.

I'll try to post some pics once I figure out how. I know there are instructions at the beginning of the thread. I love CarlaC too, she's made learning to sew so painless for me. I honestly had never owned a sewing machine until last June and hadn't touched one since home ec in junior high (and that was a long time ago!).

FRUSTRATED! I had a big multi-quote going, and just as I went to hit submit - my computer blacked out or something!

PIPER -I'll be praying for the family you posted about. What a sad story!

I had some really sad news this week, too. A colleague of ours died suddenly of a massive heart attack. He was 44 years old. He leaves behind a wife and three teenage kids. It's just so sad! Please pray for this family!

Moonk's Mom - Thanks for the welcome and the info about the pics. I'll keep posting until I have 10!

Mousetriper - That's awesome news! I'll be praying for your family!

3GoofyBoys - I think we live in the same general area. I live 85 miles north of Cheyenne. I actually work at Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. How do you like this lovely weather we're having? It doesn't look like I will make it to work tonight - I called my floor and one of my co-workers said they're predicting 10-20 inches of snow there today. It's crazy because it's only raining here. That's ok, I really didn't want to work tonight anyway, maybe I can get in some sewing time, lol.

 

[sahm1000]

Still trying to catch up - sorry for all of the multiquotes I"m about to post!

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!

Poor little Sally! I'm sure you're just as frightened, although by now I know it's over since I'm so late in seeing this! Tell Sally to follow all of the rules (I know how she likes her rules!) and listen to the doctor after the surgery. Let her know that all of us here are praying for her and your family.

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.

Beth, I am praying for your family too. Please take care of yourself.

I've in IL about 30 miles west of Chicago. We are probably moving to the Houston area (probably Katy) later this year. I just don't know when yet. Hopefully I'll know by next month. My DH's company takes forever to make decisions.

I've heard lots of good things about Katy. Maybe one of these days I'll go with Darren when he goes down there and meet all of you Houston people (now don't ask me what I'm going to do with my kiddos but it's an idea anyway!). I know I also have a lot of neighbors here in Dallas that have moved from Houston and they lived in the Woodlands which is also supposed to be nice. Good luck with the move and keep us posted.

Beth! that is such wonderful news! I'll keep praying and continue to hope that it all works out well!

Piper - That is so so sad. What a wonderful thing for all that money to have been raised. I cannot imagine how much it must hurt to lose a child and especially at such a young age.

Shannon - Prayers for the family you know too.

And for some good news since most of it wasn't so great this morning. I finished my 2nd vida! This was one mega workout of a vida! I have no pictures yet but I'll take some later! Whoo hoo!

I deserve some dancing bananas!

3 more coming soon!

Just a request for prayers today. One of my former students passed away on Apr. 6th--he was 7 years old. His mother is having a very difficult time and the funeral is this morning. He had severe asthma. His mother gave him a breathing treatment at 2:30 a.m., set her alarm for 5:30 and he was gone when she woke up....his heart gave out from all the strain of attacks through the years.

He was one of the most caring and considerate children I have taught. Those of us who worked with him have been given 2 hours off to go to his funeral and it will be so difficult to be calm and cheerful for the rest of the day (as it has for the last 11 days!)

Because of medical expenses, the family has very little money. I am so proud of our staff--people have contributed just over $2,000 to help pay for his funeral

Pray for his family please.

Prayers sent....hugs you you, the family and staff!



but as an aside...news like this sets me off ...as you all know, I get very scared and worried (as I am sure all of you do), when my kids get sick....and as a parent of children who are on breathing treatments when they are sick....news like this totally scares me...I really need to go calm down...I am pretty upset.
