I have a Tink pillowcase that is just sitting there because I can't make up my mind what to do with it. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Any of you guys order online from Joann's? Does it usually take a long time for shipping?? I want my serger thread...
I keep checking my order status and it has been processing for 4 days. Hopefully they just don't update that a whole lot.

Thanks for all the get well wishes. I am looking forward to my doctors appt in May. I am going see a specialist for the female problems I am having.

Back to serging! I am loving it! I am taking in some shorts for my cousin's little girl. I hope I am doing it right.

We are a mile from the high school and kids fly down our road all of the time! It makes me so nervous. I hate taking the kids to school in the morning because the teenagers are always speeding. I hope we move before Katie turns 16! Last wreck a girl ended up in one of our neighbors front yard around midnight. She had several other kids in the car with her...they all went to the hospital...

This is the reason Corey doesn't drive yet and is not allowed to ride in cars with teenagers driving. I really hope no one was hurt.

Hi ya'll; apparently I need a challenge, because with this outfit everything was a first- first hat, first pair of pants, first gathering, first boutique flip flops... I must be bored. So, I'm thinking it needs some trim on the carpis, but DM thinks they're better this way. WDYT?

This is a very cute outfit!!! I think it could use some trim to tie it all together.

HELP ! ! ! ! ! ! !
I've fallen into a bag of boston baked beans and can't get out.

I think you are only about 2 hours or so from me, I'll hop in my van and be right there to help you eat your way out!

Thanks friends on the good comments on my dress and my age. Yes, past 50 all ready and with the cold and rainy weather, I am feeling old lately. I guess good hair dye helps.

I don't like pictures of myself because I see things that no one else does. Tinka_belle says we are harder on ourselves and she is right. I see the huge bump from the accident and I see the nerve damage on the left side of my face. My smile is off and my face seems strange to me. But if I am the only one who sees it, then it is a good thing.

April, seriously, all I see is a strikingly beautiful woman when I see your picture! And, an extremely young looking one at that!

Do you guys think a little tiara would be too much? I don't want Jenna to be fancier than the bride.

A tiara is NEVER too much!!! When Heather got married the flower girls wore tiaras, it was the cutest thing! I wouldn't worry about being fancier than the bride, a little girl in a tiara is just cute!

How full is too full for a twirl skirt? Im making a size 3 storybook twirl and think it might be too full, can that happen??????

THanks!

No, I don't think that can happen! How full is it? For skirts I usually go 3 times the waist or hip measurement.

I was thinking about a combination of braids and curls. I am waiting to see the pics of Sarah with her hair all done up and then I will see if I can add some braids in.

My DD wore a tiara in our vow renewal this year. She was gorgeous, but definitely age appropriate; I don't think she'd upstage the bride, she'd just be beautiful. I'll see if I can find a pic of her; we pulled the front back, and curled the rest; it looked really pretty.

I am trying to order something from the swak embroidery website. I am not sure if its my computer or the website but when I try to buy something an error-message comes up saying:



www.swakembroidery.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate expired on 4/26/2009 1:04 PM.

(Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate)

# This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

I've tried a couple of times and it keeps coming up. Is it my computer or the website do you think?

We had the flower girl wear a small tiara at our wedding, she looked beautiful and definitely did not upstage me, a least I don't think so

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

it is a late (really late) Christmas present. What do you think? It is the first I have made and could not find a pattern online for what I wanted so I adapted one. my cousin is almost 40 but is like my big sister - (i don't have a real one) she is a crafty gal as well.

outside

I couldn't find beads that I could string on the handles so I left them as metal. Do you think it needs something or is it ok the way it is?

 

[phins_jazy]

I'm interested in seeing some flower girl updos. I was just informed that it would be $40 for Jaz to get her hair done for the wedding. I politely told the bride that we'd figure something else out. LOL

THe boo dress is adorable and your applique looks great!

Wow, that sewing area is great!

You wouldn't believe this, but I broke my serger!

I broke one of the loopers and bent the other. (Note, don't try to go through a zipper, I thought I was going to clear it, but I didn't! One of the reasons I HATE zippers!) I have had it for a couple of years now, and would love to upgrade, but I just don't know. I am sure that to have it fixed would cost about a third of a new machine.

So no sewing for me until I get a new one. Well, I guess I could, but I like the look of finished seams too much.
Shannon, which machine did you just get?
I am sure it would be too cost prohibitive for me at this time, but I could at least look!

Oh no..I hope you got a replacement, or at least got it fixed!

Wow Jenny! I love your room. I want my own sewing room so bad. That is one of the requirements for when we start looking for a house. You have most of the fabrics that people are looking for over on the fabric swap thread.

I wish I found organizing de-stressing. Your sewing room looks really nice. Two houses ago I had my sewing room in the family room. I got the most sewing done ever in that house! It was so convenient, and I did have to keep it organized which made me more likely to want to go in there and sew!

In next house, my sewing room was supposed to be the office. It was nice (not nearly as big as the FR from the previous house) but because it was more closed off, it was harder to find time in there when I didn't have to be watching the kids, and it quickly became a catch-all for misc. stuff in the house.

Now my sewing room is in the basement. I really don't like it. I know I should be greatful to just have the room, but it's so cold down there in the winter, too dreary, and it's too easy to leave the room a mess because no one sees it. And I feel really isolated down there (which sometimes is good, but most of the time isn't.)

Wow it looks awesome, I want a FABRIC stash just like YOURS!!!!

Oh My - I am so jealous -this is a fantastic sewing room. I'd love to sew in there . Unfortunately I have a small room that i share with DH's gaming stuff. So most of my sewing these days are done at the dining table. I do have my large cutting table set up in the lounge though

I wish i was that organized! By the way, i see that mickey swirl fabric we are all coveting so if you ever decide to "get rid of" a quarter of a yard or so let me know!

I go on the fabric swap thread all the time and that was one of the first things I noticed in looking at this picture

LOL! I know that is the first thing I noticed too! The monster Inc and Mickey Swirl fabric I have been craving. Then I noticed the nice set up, it is a great sewing room and wonderful fabric selection. Can we come shop there?

I thought we should play I spy with the fabric on those shelves!! I spy mickey/minnie disco dot????

Ooooooo! Ahhhhhh!
I don't know which is cooler... all your space or that STASH!

Thanks everyone..but honestly, I have seen far more impressive fabric stash on here! I got some of my disney fabric from swaps here...I am sure I will have some leftover when I am done with them, and I will definitely offer them up to the disboutiquers!!

I know, I am strange because when I am stress, I clean! When I am angry, I also clean to calm myself down..thankgoodness, I don't get angry a lot! LOL

I love the fabric that you use!

Cute, cute raggedy ann and andy!

Very cute tinkerbell outfit!

No way would I have jumped off that tree!

Love the pictures! Your boys are adorable.

What a great party, and you are so creative. I love how you set up little stations, and the kids get to eat out of dog bowls!

quick update. I'll be 31 weeks on tues and haven't taken a belly pic yet so her ya go!

Mind you I have NO makeup on and I'm exhausted so excuse the circles!!!

...t.

You look GREAT!!!

Ok..so I am only caught up until page 120!! Gotta go take my kiddos to their ice skating lessons..will try and catch up later!

Oh no Tom!!! Do you have the overcasting stitch on your machine?? That is what I did on my sewing machine until I just got my serger. I've only had it about a week. I got the Babylock Evolve. Shannon has the Imagine or the Imagine Wave.. I can't remember which one. I am in love with the Evolve. I really wanted coverstitch so that is why I went with that one. I was trying to decide between this one or the Imagine Wave and a separate coverstitch machine. I decided on this one because I wanted a few of the stitches that it has extra on it. I am loving the jet air threading.
Hope you can get it fixed or get a new one. I am soooo excited about serging. I think everyone should have a serger now.

I wish I had that strangeness! I never want to clean... When I am mad I just cry.
My husband would try to make me mad all the time if he knew I would clean when I was mad.

Since Shannon posted her wrap dress Epcot outfit I've been on a mission to find cute multiculutral fabric with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas where to look? I can't find anything Epcot like!

Another question....if anyone has the wrap dress pattern from YCMT, what are the measurements for the biggest size? My daughter is always close and I usually need to upsize, but I don't always like it when it gets bigger. The one thing I don't like on YCMT is that they don't list the measurements like the other patterns do. I don't want to waste $10 on a pattern I can't use!

I have ordered from Joann's online, I prefer to order online because I get cashback on a rewards site. I have gotten most of my orders within 4 days.

I'm interested in seeing some flower girl updos. I was just informed that it would be $40 for Jaz to get her hair done for the wedding. I politely told the bride that we'd figure something else out. LOL

I don't know if you have a Sears with a beauty salon in it, but if so you may want to see what they can come up with.... it wasn't flower girl, it was more of a faux BBB day to hold DD over, but they did my daughter's updo for $12.... I was surprised how inexpensive it was. Here is a pic that shows her hair:

 

[emcreative]

That's the cutest ever.

Y'all are gonna make me want another baby girl. AND WE HAVE TOO MANY KIDS ALREADY!

 

[emcreative]

Is it okay to post a picture of the dress that's ALMOST like the pattern I'm looking for, so I can say "Hey does anyone know where to find this pattern with XYZ differences"?
