Basically you have a little machine thing that hooks into the wall (ours is cable internet, so it hooks into the cable outlet). It transmits a signal that you computer picks up that allows your computer to connect to the internet without the use of a cord. It's really great! couldn't live without it!

I have lurked off and on this thread for a few months and I have finally finished two dresses for our Disney trip!!! Thanks to all of the inspiration here, I have dusted off my sewing machine and remembered how much enjoyment there is in sewing!! I have also become reaquainted with my old friend the seam ripper!

You have also enabled me to join etsy - so I could buy patterns, google all different styles of sewing machines (my Singer is an 1984 model -lol) shop for more fabric than I could sew in a year and shop for needles I never knew existed! I hope to attempt some applique soon!

I know this was asked, but I didn't see the answer - how do you applique the Princesses' eyes/facial features? I used to fabric paint years ago - so I may end up painting faces for a while!

Here are the dresses - I altered a Simplicity Daisy Kingdom pattern for this!

Cute! Love these- can't wait to see more!

Also, a lot of places, like McDonald's and Coffee houses, a lot of Dr's offices, hospitals, etc. have free wifi which allow you to connect to the internet for free when you're there.

Ok, take the laptop OUT of the house and use it at other places-what do I need?

If it has free wi-fi, you need nothing. you will have to connect to their network, which is very simple to do (basically a few clicks on your computer), and you're in.

If the location has free wi fi (Like a Mcdonalds)? What about like at WDW can you buy like a prepaid card or something?

Here they are! Cheap too!
I wish I had remembered to buy them there instead of Hobby Lobby! I think I just got rid of my receipt too.

How much are those bandannas at HL?

FRIDGE DILEMMA SOLVED!!! THANK YOU CINDEEE!!!!!!

Can you share how you quickly got a fridge? I haven't been able to get one either while I am there

For Hollywood Studios --

I made my daughter an einsteins outfit. On the jeans, Quincy & June are on the back...

I'd say anything from Playhouse Disney (Jojo, Einsteins, Pooh, Mickey's Clubhouse), Star Wars is there, Indiana Jones is there...

OH my Goodness! This outfit is awesome! Where in the world did you find the Little Einstein fabric?!

We rent a stroller and carry a big bag. I refuse to admit to all the changes I carry with me in a given day..... Take a look through my Flickr photos linked in my signature and you'll see......

I need a 12 step program...... but my daughter is 8 (turning 9 IN the Magic Kingdom this fall) so our days of customs are limited......

Did you seriously make all of those princess outfits?! They are unreal!!!! WOW!!!!

If anyone is looking to sell a solid white pettiskirt, please let me know. I would rather find an inexpensive one before I bite the bullet and buy a Sam's one. Thanks!

Ditto! I have been looking for affordable ones too since I have 2 DD's and I need some for their outfits that I am making!

On another note....I am so excited!!!!! I did my first button hole tonight!!!!! I couldn't believe how easy it was. Have I told you yet that I LOVE my new machine!!!! Yay! I knew you guys would understand my excitement. My poor DH didn't quite understand why I was so excited over a buttonhole!

In WDW resorts, you can hook up to the internet in the rooms (you may need an ethernet cord, or they may have them available in the rooms). I believe they charge a fee? Maybe $10 a day? We are DVC members, and when we stay at a villa, our internet is free to members. So, I'm not completely sure. If you are someplace where wi-fi is not available, you can get an "air card" through a cell service provider. I don't have experience with this, but I know it is available. Somehow, it hooks into your computer and use the cell service to connect to the internet.

Edited to add - I've really never been anywhere where I needed an air card. I travel a lot with business, so I always have my laptop. So many places these days offer free internet that I've never felt it necessary to have this additional expense. Even when I travel into disaster areas to work, you can always find some place to connect.

The second one definitely looks better in my opinion.


Once you sew a pattern several times you get alot quicker. That is why alot of people make the same patterns over and over. It really does get quicker. I tend to like to use new patterns alot, so I am not always so quick. I have certain patterns that are my go to patterns to whip out something quick though.

I'm going to stick w/ jumpers for a bit now that I can applique half decently. Ok, Im fibbing. I know that I'm going to try something new. That is what I do. I love killing myself w/o cursing outloud.

It has Mickey's Hollywood Star:

A clapper:

Mickey's director chair:

A movie ticket:

And film reel:

She is also wearing these 2 outfits to Hollywood Studios. I think she will wear the Boo dress around parade time since Boo is in the parade:

And she will wear this to meet the characters from Up!

These are really cute
What pattern did you use for the Mickey dress and halter top set? I think I may want to give it a try.

Thanks for your help,

She borrowed one from a friend.

CONGRATS on the Button hole!!!!! Men don't get the whole excitement thing to they? LOL

Yes, I made them all. My favorite thing in the world to do is making Disney princess gowns...... I'm working on all new stuff for our fall trip......

They are both Carla C's simply sweet. I just modified the skirt piece. For the Up outfit I just did stripwork for the same width Carla called for in the directions. For the Hollywood studios dress I did 3 layers. The first one was the length and width the pattern called for. The second was 2 inches longer but the same width, the 3rd was 4 inches longer and the same width and I added a 2 inch ruffle to each layer.

Thanks so much for letting me know. You are a doll and so is your baby girl. Wow, I will have to invest in that pattern - you guys have proven it is very versatile. Thanks again!

 

[KARAJ]

Finished up some PJs for a friends twin grandchildren. She said anything dinosaur and I just happened to have this flannel lying around. Their names are Ethan and Aiden, thus the initials.

OK these PJ's were so cute I went and hit Hobby Lobby's $0.99 Simplicity sale, and got that pattern!!

Hi Everyone,

I am back from our trip to Southern California. We had a great time and spent two days at Disneyland. However, I am starting to fear that our little guy may be jinxed when it comes to trips to Disney. On his very 1st trip to WDW last December he ended up getting severely sick and landed in the hospital. This trip, we had just arrived at our hotel in Anaheim when he fell and split his head open. We rushed him to a hospital close by where the Dr. decided rather than stitch him up, she would use "glue"...aka, dermabond. It still took 3 people to hold my baby down and this was after they had "mummied" him up in a sheet. I didn't give him the nickname, "little Houdini" for nothing. He can escape (wiggle free) out of just about anything!!! Hahaha. Here is a picture of my sweet little guy fast asleep on his first trip to Disneyland. (Look at his little Goofy that he somehow stole from his big sister...hahahahaha)

(Oh and I embroidered that Mickey on his shirt. Hahaha....this time with NO hole in the back of the shirt. Hahaha. Oh and his ear is all red because he had just been laying on it. LOL.

Aww! Poor sweet baby!
He is a gorgeous little boy. I hope he is as sweet as he looks.
Thanks for sharing with us!

Okay, the bad thing about going on vacation is that I get way behind on this board. I will never catch up so I am gonna start fresh. Hahaha. I did scan the past couple pages and everything that I have seen is adorable. I did notice that I have been "cased" by Miranda.......love the dress you made your sweetie with the pink bandanas. We took the outfit I had made and my DD wore it the one day to the park. Here is a quick shot from Tom Sawyer's Island. LOL

OOOOH!!!!! Beth!!!!

He needs to come see his "Auntie" Cindee in Florida.

My neice took a header off the end table when she was two-it took 3 people to hold her and 6 to hold ME
