Well it was a great day! Went to see the early show of Ice Age in 3d. Kids loved it!
here they are leaving in there 4th outfits!

Then we came home and had a cute little pool to play in.. not a fab pool, but it was something. had to get creative for the 4th! Even the dogs kept going in and out of the pool. very funny.
We BBQ'd some amazing food!!!then had a good little red white and blue desert

Then got ready to watch the fireworks our city did. not bad for a little town

Today we went to the park already and now everyone is sleeping but me.. kinda funny they are all sooo tired!

This is my all time favorite picture of my daughter.

I really like the girls dresses but the S did not show up well in pics. It looked cute in person though. boo hoo I am happy with the bows though. I am not a confident bow maker. I am a confident bow buyer.

We ended the night with a boat ride to see the fireworks. I am not happy with my firework pics in general. I have not learned how to use my new camera to take firework pics. I did think it was really that you could see the red, white and blue reflection in the water.

Love that first picture!!! Just adorable!!!
And yes I agree on the buying, not the making of bows!!!

There USA outfits are fabulous!!!! awesome job with the new machine!

Ok- I'll do what I can to help, bu I have yet to cut fabric with my cricut!

Here's what I have read on how to cut fabric;

1- it's mostly a trial and error thing. Be patient, and try using small adjustments on speed and pressure if it doesn't cut right for you. ALWAYS experiment on fabric scraps first to make sure it'll cut how you want it to on the good stuff! For best results use a cotton type fabric- one that would be quilting quality fabric.

2- Use a new cutting mat so it's nice and sticky, set you blade to 4 or 5 and your speed to medium. You do not need the deep cut blade, the regular one is just fine, just make sure it's new as well.

3- Use ULTRA Heat N Bond- iron it to the wrong side of the fabric and put that on your mat, fabric side up. Cut away. You may just want to hold it down lightly to be sure it won't slip while it cuts or at least when it starts cutting.

4- just keep trying if it doesn't work- it will eventually! GOOD LUCK!

Oh!

Is there a Joann by you? They have these:

http://www.joann.com/joann/shop/sho...p://www.joann.com/images/14/06/2/140628_p.jpg

and I bet some fabric that would match for easy fits! (if not at Joann I know at least my Walmart has some cars fabric)

There are also a bunch of smaller applique iron-ons that would look good on shorts:

Maybe if you did them with the cuff at the bottom you could put a smaller iron-on on the cuff?

Oooh, I got a Tigger one of these a few weeks ago and I've made my FIRST Simply Sweet outfit with it. It will be for Crystal Palace. As soon as I get hairbows made for the outfit I'll get pics of it and post them now that I have finally learned how to post pics.

What are the measurements for your daughter? Will you know how to put it together????


Linnette

We got a supposedly "easy" sundress pattern that looks like it will work, and we're gonna give it a shot. It will either be very cool, or a PHENOMENAL disaster, lol!

 

[emcreative]

I swear this thread needs a diabetic warning...the kids are so SWEET! I love the 4th outfits, and the big poofy hairbows!!! They make my (childless) friend cringe, and I just want to pinch their little pigtailed faces!!

Big news from here today:

Ferb (who is now 14.5 mos old, but was a preemie) finally made the "ma ma ma!" noise today!!!!!!!!

Lori

Thanks Lori! I never could have made them without your encouragement. I love the kids new outfits and the dessert looks scrumptious. I made a cake yesterday. There is a reason why I do not bake!! I am glad you all had a great day. The girls and I are going to see Ice Age tomorrow.

Nicole's Hermione shirt. I have to give a big thank you to EMCreative she sent me this picture and Nik just loved it!

 

[emcreative]

OOOH that Hermione shirt ROCKS! I love it!

 

[SallyfromDE]

Okay I have been encouraged by my bowling shirt turning out okay. Both sons and husband said they liked it and would wear one at Disney. We are doing the Laui(sp?). Hawaiian Party. So I thought I could do matching Bowling shirts in Red like Lilo. And make a sundress for me to match. I can't find an adult sundress pattern. Just a plain sundress. I also have been looking for Red Hawaiian fabric. Can't find that either. I know some one posted a site a while back that was mostly Hawaiian fabric. Can some one PLEEEEEEEASE repost it?????? Thank you wonderful ladies in advance.

I didn't save any of the sites, but just do a search of Hawaiin fabric. I didn't have luck finding fabric like Lilo, but that was last summer.

 

[minnie2]

OOOH that Hermione shirt ROCKS! I love it!

Thank you!

If this is true, it's just sad all the way around.

Happy 4th of July!!!

We had a very nice LONG day. I have some tired kiddies today!!!

Our day was full of Popsicles, bbqs, swimming and fireworks on the boat. Jeniamt watched the same fireworks last night. Small world huh

This is my all time favorite picture of my daughter.

I really like the girls dresses but the S did not show up well in pics. It looked cute in person though. boo hoo I am happy with the bows though. I am not a confident bow maker. I am a confident bow buyer.

We were on our way to Pop's house. They love Daddy's Jeep-o.

Our CASED cupcakes. They were a huge hit. My Dad giggled when he saw them. The other cute thing was my DD is now potty trained. Her shorts were so big now that she does not wear a pull up.

We ended the night with a boat ride to see the fireworks. I am not happy with my firework pics in general. I have not learned how to use my new camera to take firework pics. I did think it was really that you could see the red, white and blue reflection in the water.

Love, love love these; super cute!

[Picabo]

Hey there -I just found this thread and am amazed at the talent you all have! SOOOO jealous that I don't have the skills to make the adorable clothing that you all can! I was looking on your photobucket account and did a member search here for linnettevl and cannot find her anywhere! Anyone know how I can contact her here by PM?

ALSO I tried to find many of you on ebay and can't. TIPS??

Amazing, as always! You need to find a photo contest to enter that first picture. It is too perfect with that adorable bishop, the popsicle and her smile. The photography gods were perfectly aligned when you pressed "click". I hear you on the firework photos... we were out on the boat on Friday to watch Sherwood Forest's fireworks and my pictures all look crazy. The shutter stays open for sooo long to try to capture the light. Funny how many boaters come out for those dinky fireworks... the Severn was packed. Great weekend for being out on the water! By the way, all the d kiddies head to Camp Letts tomorrow.

I finally have a pic of something that I made. This is a birthday dress that I made for my cousin's little girl. She just turned 1 and that is the smallest size of the Vida pattern and it is huge on her.

Her name is Serena Lilly. Isn't she a cutie. I made her a size newborn dress for her shower gift and she still wears it.

Soooo cute! I love that dress, bet making one in a size 1 would be really fun.

Good luck, btw her last post was about 2 or 3 pages back.

I finished out animal kingdom hats. The boys will wear this side in the morning:

With these shirts explorer:

Then they will switch to these:

Love the Bucket hats, and the smocking from earlier. Looks like the kids are having a good summer so far.

Gotta catch up here for today. I wanted to share a pic of Hayleigh from today and a pic of the three of us in our customs. My husband is all into having shirts for our next trip.

Does anyone recognize anything new with my signature???

Cute. Love that he is cool with the matching stuff for your next trip.

Great outfits, and looks like you had a really fun day.

In a little over two hours, my DD9 made this for her niece's birthday next month. She will be 2.

So, to anyone who is on the fence about CarlaC's A-line dress... if my daughter can do it, I know you can!!


Don't you just hate it when a momma starts to brag!!!


Nini Morris

Tell your daughter GREAT JOB ON THE ALINE.

We never mind a little bragging about our kids around here. In fact, tomorrow morning I will post a pic of the rag quilt my DS 8 just made for his aunt.

I finally have a pic of something that I made. This is a birthday dress that I made for my cousin's little girl. She just turned 1 and that is the smallest size of the Vida pattern and it is huge on her.

That is too cute. At least she will be able to wear the VIDA for a while.

Well it was a great day! Went to see the early show of Ice Age in 3d. Kids loved it!

Lori

Love the kids 4th outfits. Sounds like a fun day.

That is great. I love that Hermione's mouth is open, cause she always seems to have something to say
