Could you post the link please? I would love to make some. I'm thinking that
in a chic quilting fabric, maybe Michael Miller or something, that they would make a nice Christmas gift for family.[/QUOTE]

Of course I have nothing to show for myself but hours at work. I even worked last evening. So goes it for my PT job. Today I am just too tired to do much of anything. I did detail my car inside and out and even did the engine compartment.

I am reading the manual for Embird bit it does not teach about the program. If using it for the first time and not knowing what anything is the manual is worthless. I need to find a tutorial. Any suggestions????????

My machine should be here in about a week and half. Then I have to find a day to go and learn, only Wed or Friday.

Finally we leave for Disney in 1 month and 12 days.

Hubby and I have fallen into a routine of having the same (lighthearted) argument a few times a week.

*Boys do something boyish and very different from our girls*
MEeyebrow raised to The Husband) Hey, YOU were the one who said we'd only take boys.
HIM: BOY! I said BOY, singular! Not boyS!
ME: (laughing) Hey, it was buy one get one free, I couldn't resist!

(Yes, we are kidding and laughing to ourselves).

Well, jump to today. Hubby sees Corn on the Cob in the fridge, which I told him last night I was craving...after he went to the grocery store last night for ice cream with whipped cream I was craving.

HIM: Um, you sure are having a lot of cravings.
ME: (not really looking at him) Yep, didn't want to bring it up though.
HIM: (seeing the calendar and doing the math in his head) It was buy ONE get ONE free..ONE ONE ONE!

DH and I just sat down and had a "family meeting" about our finances and it aint pretty.
He ran through a long list of things we will have to cut out...
-my once a month cleaning company (because we have 2 big dogs, 2 cats, 2 kids, 2 adults and only 1 adult who cleans)
-tv- we will get the box and try for free tv, but DH is not hopeful that we will have any reception because we live in a hilly area and dont live close enough to the cities where public tv "comes from"
-no restaurants, so no more brunch after church, etc- he said we could keep pizza night.
-no more fabric (except Im allowed to buy fabric for the girl's for Hannah's baby dedication gown)
-no descretionary spending without first discussing.
-no landscaping (again this was something I did because I was the only one doing it- his view is that it can look a little scruffy - but he'll try to mow it)
I'm fine with the cut backs, even though some are pretty drastic, but I wish I heard more from him that he would do more.
My stipulation was that we need to meet once a month to discuss our financial progress.

I realize this is totally personal, but Im a little disheartened a the moment and looking for a cheering sqad.
I actually kinda feel like maybe God brought us to this place, because for years I have begged DH to watch less TV so I could have more of him, for the little amount of time I see him in the evenings and now he will have no choice- until now he was not willing to cancel the direct tv, so even though it will be really hard for me if we dont at least get PBS, I think it will bring our family together.

Feel free to help me find the bright side of this! I'm feeling a little down right now.

and all outfits I make will be from fabric I already own- so I guess that means clothes without much for coordinating fabrics. Im happy I have that cinderella fabric sitting in my stash to make her dress for Halloween!

I wish my 8 year old (well, she'll be 8 in October) would wear something like that. She already thinks she's too old for such styles.
.

Kirsta is 8, 9 in January. And she will wear Disney, but only in Disney. She will wear plain Disney Ts and shorts and home. I made her a Pettiskirt that she's only worn in Disney, but I decided she's going to use it for Xmas. Like it or not. She'll wear it, she loves fancy stuff for church.

For those of you with a Brother 1034D serger...HELP!!!

I just got mine out of the box. Everything looks like it is threaded right, but the foot pedal is not working.It makes a noise like the motor is running, but it isn't doing anything! Has anyone else seen this happen? Did I just get a defective machine?

I have that machine. When you start to sew, try giving the wheel just a little nudge. I don't know why, but I have to do that every once in a while.

My Latest Vida

I made this to match a Vida that I'm finishing up for DD. The applique on the doll version is different, so they coordinate I drew up the pattern all on my own for this one, and it's pretty darn close to the Big Girl version - minus the elastic under the arms. DD saw it after her nap (yes she took a nap!!) and loves it. She also loves the one for her so far, she picked out all the fabircs and trims.

I love this and I'd wear it to!

Just wanted to say, although it's probably not helpful, but I have that machine and that hasn't happened to mine, so it might be a problem w/ the machine.

I just took notes for when my machine arrives and I find myself doing the exact same thing. Please tell me what else I should know ahead of time.

If only I knew, I seem to be learning by making mistakes LOL. One good piece of advice I got was to always cut the thread at the spool and then pull down to get the thread out. Pulling up seems to clog lint up in the brother machines. Also, I get a lot of use out of a pair of tweezers I keep by the machine. Don't be afraid to "waste" stabilizer; it's worth having a bit extra rather than having it pull funny in the hoop. I'm sure someone who actually knows what they're doing will be along w/ better advice, though
Oh yeah, and make nice with the dealer, ya never know when you're going to need their help

Bright side: hmm. One is that your DH is taking responsibility for getting the family financially on track. And he's talking to you about it. That's good. Also, it will encourage you to use your stash; that's really good. And you'll be spending more time together as a family. That's priceless. (did that help?)

Awwwwwww.......... we've all been there one time or another in our lives.

Well...... do you still get to keep the internet? If so, that can be a great source of entertainment for you! I'm at my DD's house right now and they don't have a tv... IT"S DRIVING ME BATTY!!! BUT- they have the internet, so keeping up with this thread, and watching hulu and going directly tv websites has kept me entertained enough for 9 days already! Hulu is awesome! So...... don't feel too dreary! Things will get better before you know it, you will adjust pretty quickly too. We'll all be here to help entertain too!

Its going to be tough but just think of all of the money you will be saving (or not spending!!!). Glad you have a stash to work from. I spent a couple of months building my disney stash and am working from it. I buy fabric as needed. Do you have a local library that had videos or dvd? Do you have any board games or cards? Each night you could do a different family activity. Reading night, movie night, make a dessert night, game night, etc. Pretend you are camping...what would you do? Prayers for you!

 

[Mirb1214]

Well, I finally finished the Patricia Tunic and gave it to my mom for her birthday present!! She really like it and said it was very comfortable!! What do you think??

I Love It!! The fabric is PERFECT!! I have never sewed anything for myself, but ya'll have JUST about sold me on this pattern! I am loving them!

Thats true- he tends to be a fly by the seat of his pants type and pays bills with auto pay and doesnt look at everything in detail for months, then gets stressed at what we owe when he does look- so it will be really, really nice to have him review our bills and discuss with me monthly. Ill have to note it on my calendar- doing it now!
and he said I can still get whatever I want for Hannah's baby dedication dress fabric (thinking dupioni silk possibly)
keeping your DH in my prayers!

yup, he's a techy and needs it for work, so the internet stays- but the tv is more for DD3 than for me, i can go without tv indefinately. My favorite summer trip each year is to visit my Godfather in Skaneateles NY- they have no tv and I love it! Everyone talks to each other! It's great. What's hulu??

Oh, thats a good idea, although Ill be curious to see if he is willing, I have asked for games i nthe past, but he doesnt get home til late and its an hour+ commute- but I love these ideas!

 

[pixeegrl]

Thanks for the info but.... ...really....me...bridge...tunnel...water...UGH! Don't think that will ever happen...many of the girls here know my fear of bridges and the thought of that thing makes me sick! DH really wants me to go...but I am so scared there will be a crash and I will get trapped or a thunder storm...I will need some serious meds to do that...but thanks for the ideas! I will check out the website for you quilt shop!

OOPS! Sorry about that!

That is just adorable! I saw a peek on your facebook page! Can't wait to see more.

Those are adorable but the second outfits are my favorite!!!!

 

[LisaZoe]

Beautiful!

Matching T's wouldn't be that "crazy" would they? I'm hoping to make a few for myself & DD(10) for a trip in early Dec.

I don't think matching tees are crazy at all. That's probably what I'll do when (if) Zoe and I go again before she thinks she's too old for even that.

DD saw it after her nap (yes she took a nap!!) and loves it. She also loves the one for her so far, she picked out all the fabircs and trims.

That came out really cute. A month or so ago I was thinking about trying to do a doll sized Vida but went no further with the idea since Zoe doesn't have any dolls. Hmm, maybe I'll do one for her Build A Bear friends.

No TV - there are lots of options that don't cost much money, like game nights, movie nights (can't beat $1 DVDs from Redbox), etc. Also without TV hopefully he'll help out more with the cleaning and yard work. BTW - I have to admit I've been considering cutting out our satellite service because I know Zoe and I watch too much TV. However, since I'm home most days alone while she's in school, it's more that I'd miss it than that she would.

Less eating out - this will be better for your health as well as your budget. Also, since you won't have TV as a distraction, I bet you and the kids will have fun trying new recipes.

No new fabric - maybe you can get a revision to this in the future that you won't buy more until you've used up X percent. Also, maybe you could tell family & friends you'd like gift cards that would work for fabric stores for birthday, Christmas, etc.

Ok, all you Facebookers...

I'm updating my My*Sweet*Sunshine page and would love some Fans! Would you become a fan?? I'm currently adding pictures and might have a contest for my fans coming up in the next day or two...along with sneak peeks.

Ok, I have FINALLY registered myself on FaceBook !! Now, how do I find all the disboutiquers to add as friends? Won't that be the easiest way to keep up w/ everyone here is if I add them as "friends"?? I'm SO clueless when it comes to this kind of thing!

search Disboutiquers for the group, then you can add friends from the group members. You might want to put your's DIS id in the message when you send a friend request. Personally I rarely remember everyone's names and have no clue who some of the friend request are from at first.

 

[angel23321]

I FINALLY found yellow and black dot fabric for the minnie dress. Who knew it would be so hard to find. I've been to all three fabric stores in the area. I also got some cute pink minnie fabric that I hadn't seen before. Now to find the time to work on the dresses for Chef Mickey's.
