Cindee-
Theresa says you're a Sea World expert....Could you compare the size of Sea World to a Disney Park? I'm trying to decide if I should bring a stroller for DD(6).

We will arrange for town car service to Sea World. If we are there at opening what time would you think would be a good pick up time? Think we'd be able to see quite a bit with a 5pm or 6pm pickup? We won't be doing the coasters.

Oh and will they let us in with a Nemo custom or that in bad taste?


Thanks!

I don't know about "expert" but I do have "inside" info LOL.
I still take a stroller for Morgan. It is a large park-lots of walking -think world showcase. I would try to be there a few minutes before opening if possible. They do a little morning salute that is nice. Everyone stops what they are doing to show respect.

I have heard people "Looking for Nemo" so I don't know that anyone would consider Nemo in bad taste. If You want to feed the dolphins, head there FIRST. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go get in line to feed the dolphins.

If you arrange for a car to SW, be aware if it is Mears they may make several stops at different hotels. A TC should be direct right to the drop off.

When are you going?

 

[Tinka_Belle]

Ooh.. I missed the brown and blue somehow? I love brown and blue!
Guess I'll have to go back and find it.

Definitely go back and look it is cute. We also love brown and pink in this house too.

Since the multi quote RARELY works for me (If I miss your question please let me know)

The Purple dress is a calico with tiny little dark purple flowers and shimmery purple hem and sash.


Heathersue-yes she is looking older-PLEASE tell her to stop!!!!!

The AG mouse ears were not intended for AG they are for the stuffed animals you can buy and put in a purse. They ahve them at Toontown and WOD in DTD. They are 6.95. They also sell a plain black pair.

The AG crocs are from Joanns. They are from the Springfield collection and come in 3 colors (we own two LOL) Black, blue and hot pink. They sell for 3.99 and you can use a 40-50% off coupon for them

BTW Ms. heathersue- Morgan's doll...................

Thanks! I will take the stroller I wasn't thinking it was that big. We had already decided to take it with us on the trip so we'll just take it that day too.

Thanks for the heads up on the Dolphins. I'll try to look at the schedule online to plot out the day a bit.

We'll be using a town car service from airport and we'll use the same service for Sea World so I'm sure it will be private. It is $60 for RT service-I used the mears site to get a taxi estimate and they quote $32.45 one way.

We [me, DH, DD(10), DS(8), DD(6)] arrive in Orlando on Wednesday July 29th. Staying at Polynesian for 7 nights. I was thinking we'd try Sea World on Friday the 31st if the weather looks OK. Is Friday an OK day for Sea World? Any days better than any other? I haven't reserved the town car for Sea World yet-just for the airport so far.

Once again, I am getting ready for work. I did wear my disney custom yesterday in honour of payroll. Karyn liked it, Michael not so much.

I did make 3 adult bibs last evening and this morning for an elderly woman and it was great to sew again!

It is Friday and just 9 short hours until the weekend. Then I have a set of curtains to make this weekend and all my sewing is caught up. We are boating on Sunday and taking mom out on the lake.

My PT job is my FT still. Take care friends

Glad to see you around!! Sorry you are working so much!!

I thought those ears looked like they were from the Tote a Tail collection.


I guess I need to add those Crocs to my JoAnns shopping list!!!!

So adorable! The cranky model is too cute too!

I used that Pooh fabric to make a dress for my DD(10) last year. I was hoping it would fit this year but it's too small-she's growing like a weed!

For those of you who have the brother cs-6000i....
what stitch # or #'s do you use to go around appliques?

I guess I am a little confused. Thanks!

 

[livndisney]

Is Friday an OK day for Sea World? Any days better than any other? I haven't reserved the town car for Sea World yet-just for the airport so far.

There really is a one day is better than another at SW. A thursday may be dead and the following thursday is jam packed-no rhyme or reason (Unless it is La Musica or October).

The park itself is around a lake, the walk just to Shamu from the entrance can wear out little legs. Plan time for Shamu's area (and then plan extra time). They have several rides that Morgan LOVES including a little Shamu coaster. Take bathing suits and sunblock.
AVOID this area and Wild artic right after a Shamu show lets out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I strongly suggest the last Sea Lion show of the day-it is a parody of all the other shows in the park and is quite funny.

Do you have any Sesame street fans in your family?

 

[livndisney]

so cute i love the piglet..

SPONGIE!!!! I have not seen you around in forever!!!!!

I was just thinking about you the other day!!!!Hope all is well.!

I was inspired by Steph to clean up my sewing area. I was also pushed in that direction by the little one arriving in November. My sewing area was in the room that will be the baby's so I had to move it.

We have a room over our garage that is oddly shaped with sloping roof lines. You can see the roof lines here (this picture is from Winter 2007/2008 when the house was still under construction):

So my space was limited because we also use the room as an office. Here is what I came up with:

My fabric stash is pitiful compared to some but I really haven't sewn much lately and am trying to cut down on unnecessary purchases (DH sees fabric which will sit on a shelf as unnecessary).

 

[revrob]

What about sealing the ruffle so there is a seam so it is a giant tube then doing the gathering about an inch from the top?

I also really like the slim ruffle idea t the seam too...

this would work too. The thing that I don't like is that the the back side doesn't look so great on the skirt part. I did serge it, but then the ruffle is just attached to the bottom of the skirt. I don't know, it's just not as finished as I always like. Maybe I should post a pic and see what you guys think.

Modest is a MUST for us too...this is just perfect!! I LOVE your use of my shells design! How special!!!! Then there'll be a tiny portion of the dress that I sorta "made" (well, digitized..LOL)

I love how you ladies say things like "uh, I dunno, I sorta just winged it..." "oh ya know, just drew a line here...separated this, added this, sorta swooped this". I just shake my head...it sounds like rocket science to me!!! LOL Nervous nellie me is like "is there a pattern for this? a pattern for that? I need a pattern for this bodice..is there a pattern for a peplum?" LOL

I nailed down my main fear. CUTTING the fabric and messing it up. I'm even afraid of my babylock evolve serger. It's like this shiny monster sitting there waiting to go "BOO!!!"

Ok..off to get the kids from VBS then back home, then BACK to VBS tonight!

Julie

Well, cutting the fabric is a BIG step! Like Teresa says (I quoted her in here somewhere) stick with us, and you'll be winging it soon!

Fantastic!! Now spill . . . are the shells one design or did you do a mirror image? They are perfect!

The seashell design started out life as a Juju design - found in her "Under The Sea" collection. It is an applique seashell. I opened it in Embird, mirror imaged it, adjusted the size to fit the area that I wanted to fill (I reduced the height and increased the width). I also deleted a few steps since i wasn't going to make it an applique. I also changed all of the thread colors to be the same so that i wouldn't have to deal with stops at every color since i was stitching it all the same color. WA LA! Seashell bra!

Here is what I have been up to:

The LONG awaited Fawn outfit:

And from MK: (Heather Sue don't look)

And just because I thought the face was funny:

AW! MORGAN! Love that girl! I really want her and AbbyGrace to meet when we come in a few weeks!

That is so clever! I love it!

Revrob- I love the Ariel Sundress. What size hoop did you use to do the shells?

SHANNON-LOVE the Ariel! Soooo pretty!

:
So cool!!!

It is perfect!! Definitely the most recognizable Ariel dress I have seen. I totally want to CASE this if it is okay. I love the ruffle on the bottom too.

so cute and so original. I love it.

Thanks everyone! I had lots of fun figuring this one out! My DH even likes this one, so i guess it's ok!

The shells were stitched using my jumbo hoop only because I wanted the shells to be wider than 7". They could easily be stitched in the 5x7, but just wouldn't be as wide.

Cathy - LOVE the piglets! Great job!

 

[livndisney]

AW! MORGAN! Love that girl! I really want her and AbbyGrace to meet when we come in a few weeks!

We should!!!! We can tag team Mulan LOL!!!!

When are you coming?

 

[JUJU814]

TWO QUESTIONS

1) Should I prewash, dry and press all fabric before making a dress? What do you all do?

2) Where can I find the medium size dots fabrics? I have a huge red w/ white dot fabric, and a black w/ white dots about 1/4 inch (same for red) But not the nice "medium size"..where can I find that??

I love that you have made a sewing nook for yourself I have one of those also and it is kinda nice to just sit down and sew away . Beautiful house BTW.
