I'm guessing you bought some of her Disney designs? If you ever want some that are not Disney you can get them from swak. I just noticed she has a pretty cross freebie on there too.


It our wedding anniversary today. This is the first one my DH has been home for. We are going to New Orleans for a night out. I'm so excited.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

I noticed she had some stuff at SWAK after I had already purchased on her site. The two I ordered weren't on SWAK anyway, but the next time I order, I'll remember SWAK for sure! She did finally say that she had something going on (helping a friend that had a baby), so that is why it took a little longer. I feel better about that now.

Oh wow! So excited that you found a pleater! What kind is it? Did it come with needles? You'd want to order some if not. Nimble Thimble might sell them, but you are probably better off ordering online. You might break some needles in the process of figuring it out. Let me know if you have any problems doing it. I can scan my instructions in my smocking book if necessary.
Renee usually is alot faster than that. I have the handsmocking Mickey and Cinderella. The one I have just has geometric smocking on the top and bottomw row. Does it not even have that?

UM... it's a... pleater. Totally don't know. Not so good, huh? I know that it has 16 full rows and 8 half rows. It didn't say if it had needles, and I didn't even thank about it, honestly. I guess I should order some. I'll probably be asking you lots of questions!

Hello friends!

You would think that I have been getting things done left and right since I have no husband or kids this week but there has been a lot of lazing around. I did manage to make an easy peasy disney outfit for a friend's son:

And I saw someone on youcanmakethis lengthened the tunic into a dress and I had to copy it. Would you like to see the inside of my bathroom?

It was pretty easy but it's a little difficult to get on and off, I am just biding my time until the adult peasant dress comes out!

I am so excited for all of you who have upcoming disney trips, planning outfits is so much fun!

We just booked this today (for July 21)

OMG!!!!

OOOOH that looks delicious and fun!

A sneak Peek...

I don't have good pictures yet, these were taken really quick, but I finally finished this set a few days ago! I've had it 3/4 of the way done for over 2 months! I think I'm going to make a car hop/soda jerk hat to go with it.

The apron is not done, it still needs a cherry button and bugle bead sprinkles.

ETA: I did the applique clip art myself, before I saw HetherSue's

SO adorable, what a great idea!

I finally finished something. My brain is in too many places at once & I tend to put things aside when I get to a hard part.

I will not even get into the pain & lessons learned w/ this one.

My 1st tshirt applique. I learned to put stabelizer on the back of the tshirt before stitching. The Mickey heads are all I can get right now. They are big & gently round.

Now there are 3 more DD outfits in my head & a few for DS. Boys are back. Got to go.

They turned out great!

I need 2 little girls so I can make stepsister outfits! I love Sophee's dress Aimee! And cute back to school stuff and everything else. I finally took pictures and mailed off Mya's Dora outfit yesterday. The tee shirt is to match some pj pants Nikki is making for her.

Very cute, love the initial t shirt.

We get her to eat lots of prunes and it does seem to help. I hate giving her Miralax because it seems to have an explosive effect on her, and it really scares her.


How cute about Little! What a sweet memory. I hope the baby quits being shy soon!

Cute boys outfit! LOVE your dress!!!!!!! You need a bag to match.

Oh my gosh, how cute would I be!

I fussed over that fabric for a half an hour, trying to decide if I liked the dots with it or not (for a dress). Now I know I made the right decision!

I made that for a friend/coworker. I have to say I really love it when I see her with it and I usually don't love the stuff I make. The fabrics are really perfect for her. I really do love them as a dress too!

I used the floral for the lining:

I finished this on Sunday for my dd to wear to a Patriotic Potluck Picnic we hosted at our house for our playgroup. It's an apron dress with Carla's peasant shirt underneath (first time making that pattern, so easy!).

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! I hope you have a great time!

The Mickey outfit is adorable! Girl...you are SMOKIN' hot in that dress! I love it! I have thought about buying that fabric tons of times, but never had anything to make for myself with it!!

Cute boys outfit! LOVE your dress!!!!!!! You need a bag to match.

That is so funny! The bag is beautiful!

Oooh!! I love the old fashioned looking print on the fabric! So cute!

Those are both sooooooooooo cute!! I love the tunic dress. That is adorable!!! I also love the bag. I think it is really cute how "we" all start to think alike. Great Job Ladies!

I guess I'm spoiled. I'm used to having things sent within 12 hours. I ordered yesterday morning, I hadn't heard anything last night, so I emailed her. I hadn't heard anything by noon today, so I emailed again. I finally got the designs. I ordered the Mickey head & the Cinderella set. I'm kinda surprised the Cinderella set is just over 30,000 stitches! and it doesn't have any geometrics to hold it down!

I stitched out my first smocking design this morning. It's one from the Deb Y disc I bought at market. It's really pretty! It's just a lattice design, but I think it's cool! OH! Did I tell you I found a pleater? I found one one etsy for a GREAT price! I can't wait to get it!

Ohhh, I really want to learn to do machine smocking!! Is it harder than regular machine embroidery?? How do you hoop a pleated blank?? Can you do graduated designs like the top of a bishop on a machine?? Stop me please, I am asking waaay too many questions!!

It our wedding anniversary today. This is the first one my DH has been home for. We are going to New Orleans for a night out. I'm so excited.

I understand the EXPLOSIVE part. We are a true Cajun family. Fried, salty, & sugary. DS would not eat prunes, any fruit. Get her to drink a lot of the prune juice. Pears & pear juice work pretty good too. I use Mirilax as a last resort on DD. Potty training & the Mirilax bomb don't mix. We are trying to make DD potty aware. She makes it through most of the day in one or two pairs of panties. She can't make it through a nap, so I know she isn't ready. Hoping that if I can make her aware of her need to go & that it needs to go in the potty that the actualy training will be easier.


Happy Anniversary. Be careful in NO. DH wallet in front pocket on Burbon.

Happy anniversary Kira!

OK. Still no baby after ANOTHER false start yesterday. Our midwife assures me this is common in 3rd babies in particular, I hope she's not lying to make me feel better LOL. I am however progressing I've moved to 3-4 cm about 80% effaced but the baby is still floating and my cervix is still pretty rigid. B said he's starting to feel like the "boy who cried baby" LOL.
On the way home from a very disappointing day at Labor of Love we got caught in a torrential down pour AND threw a serpentine belt on our minivan. Had to wait on the side of the road for 45 minutes for a ride and a tow truck. Grand total for towing and a new belt $195.00 UGH! I just put 175 bucks into the radiator last week. I am really very mentally worn out right now. If I were that baby I wouldn't want to come out and meet me either.

On a lighter note...Little thought she should have a talk w/ Littlest yesterday when we got home. She told my belly that it's ok to come out, it is "all of our" baby and we want to meet it and hold it and give it kisses "so don't be shy OK? Just come on out"

It was the sweetest thing I ever did see!!! Maybe if I stop thinking about all this and go sew a little I will feel better. Little's 4th dress still needs the skirt attatched to the bodice and maybe I could squeeze out some EZ fits???

T that is so sweet what Lily sad to the baby!
Sorry abut the van.
Hang in there the baby will be here before you know it.
Seriously that midwife needs to get you there and get things going! With Kyle he stayed in never never land until after water broke my mid wife said that is normal with 2nd babies but he was REALLY long so I wonder if he was really high at all. He was over 23 inches.

Hugs T. And little's talk with her baby brother/sister is just too sweet. Lauren has been talking to my belly lately too. She likes to pet my belly and give it kisses.

By the way, I had my ultrasound this morning. I am having another girl!

a new princess! Congratulations!

I need 2 little girls so I can make stepsister outfits! I love Sophee's dress Aimee! And cute back to school stuff and everything else. I finally took pictures and mailed off Mya's Dora outfit yesterday. The tee shirt is to match some pj pants Nikki is making for her.

Both are great!
Is the Dora the peek a boo skirt? I have been itching for that pattern for ever but just can't bring myself to buy it.

The little outfit is great too.

BACK UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am understanding correctly my machine will do machine smocking. I will be the happiest girl in all of Maryland if that is true!!!!!

I sure hope so b/c that is what I am understanding.... I think???? Help us someone!!!

 

[LisaZoe]

That's my impression after I saw some 'machine smocking' designs while browsing the embroidery designs available from SWAK embroidery. How cool is that? They have a section of just the smocking designs. What I found even more exciting is the ones I looked at are in the 4X4 size!!!! They include instructions for how to prepare the smocking insert.

You're too funny! I didn't know about this either, but I'm going to go over to SWAK and check it out!

Ok, here's the 411 on machine smocking. But, remember, I'm VERY new to this technique. It's something that I just learned at MP Market.
You CAN smock on your embroidery machine. Or, actually, create the illusion of smocking.
You can purchase designs that you stitch on top of a pleated insert. You put the pleated insert on top of a piece of water soluable, sticky back stabilizer (so you don't have to hoop). Top with water soluable sticky back as well. Stitch out the design, soak out the stabilizer, and you're done!

I have a pleater. Can't remember which kind, but get some needles for sure! I broke a few just trying to figure it out. When I went to buy more, they pulled out this little plastic baggie of about 10 needles. I asked how much, they said $3. I said OK. The she said, "how many?"- $3 for EACH needle!

Now I remember, it is Amanda Jane, I think, something Jane for sure.
