Deann,

These are the customs from our trip last year. Sophee was not quite a size 2 yet.

Just because-

I found the other Evil Queen-

 

[aimeeg]

I found the princess patterns I was thinking of.

They are from Simplicity. There is even a doll pattern.

THanks, she was fine, although we needed x rays and she was really cut up. Basically, she somehow got disoriented and on the down escalator while I was paying (she has high functioning autism and other disabilities, so I keep a really close eye on her... I also am extremely careful about escalators since I have always had a supposedly irrational fear of falling down one... she started out ok but then realized what she had done and tried to go up; and that's where the trouble started. She doesn't have anywhere near the coordination to do that, and so she kept falling up the escalator as it was going down. I dropped everything and raced down to her- so did another mom, but she was really banged up, especially her hands and legs where the edges kept digging in. She suddenly calmed a bit in order to finish shopping beofre the trip to the ER.

I'm glad she was ok! that is SO scary!

Deann, I have no idea when Ariel wore a red dress.

I started sewing for the babes when she was a size 1 or 12 months. I like strip work dresses and the portrait peasant dress the best. I also made a few skirt sets for her that were really cute. I will try to dig up some pics of baby customs.



Hannah flipped over the doll holder in the bathrooms too. LOL

So here are my WAY to many pictures of the American Girl Store in NYC. I am taking both girls in a few weeks to do lunch and see The Little Mermaid before it closes.

LOL Is that enough American Girl???

WOW! These are SO CUTE! CUTE! CUTE! CUTE! I REALLY need to sew for the doll. I don't know why I've been so afraid of those little things - they're so cute!

Wait, did I miss this?? You and Shannon are related?

YEP! Isn't that cool? Let me see if I get this right - my great grandfather and Jason's (Kira's husband) great grandfather were brothers. I shipped her something once and when she gave me her shipping address, I realized her last name is the same as my maiden name. It's not a common name, so we started thinking maybe something was up. She gave some of my geneology information to someone in her husband's family that has done some geneology research, and low and behold - We're Related!

Aimee, you really need to take Hannah out more. The poor child never goes anywhere! LOL

I love all the pictures but the last one with her looking in the window is my favorite. So stinkin' cute!!

This is where Gracie first saw the treehouse. I really want to get it for her for Christmas. She is saying, "Please mommy!"

ADORABLE! I secretely really want Kit for myself - you know why? Because I LOVE that treehouse! I want it for myself! Not that I have anywhere to put it or would do anything with it, but I LOVE it!

Opinions please everyone, I am starting a stripwork twirl today and not sure what color bias tape to put at the bottom, what would you all do? Thanks everyone !!

I'll pray and light a candle for them. This same thing happened to us- we could have finalized in June but we were waiting for ONE SHEET OF PAPER from the state- the paperwork was approved and finished, they just needed to send the physical copy to our agency. Then, by the time we got it, our judge went on maternity leave and the judge covering for her is notorious for delaying or denying adoptions for silly reasons, so we decided our best bet not to deal with the covering judge at all and wait for the boys' regular judge to return- that put us to August 7th.

I am sorry to hear about your husband's grandfather. I hope this will be a comfort to you- my grandfather (my mom's dad) married my grandmother at 17 and also had never been on his own. We had said for many years that we thought if grandpa went first, grandma would be okay, but we could never imagine grandpa making it without grandma. Besides the fact they were so overwhelmingly in love, grandpa didn't even cook, do laundry, or any of those things for himself. Well, grandma passed away over three years ago and I'm happy to say grandpa IS doing it, and seems to be relatively happy, to boot! I will pray you all not only find peace, but that grandma finds comfort and strength on her own!

Best of luck finding a sitter. I have watched my nephew (and niece during summers) for 2 and a half years, but did tell them that I will have to stop this fall. Five kids is just enough on it's own, and the kids all have special needs of one type or another. I love kids- but I love my sanity too! But at least this is a good time of year to search for a sitter, as many will have been working for families where all the kids will now be in school in the fall and will most likely need a new position!

(((hugs))

Thanks. And thanks to everyone else too. We the have the babysitter situation take care of temporarily (till Feb.) so that's one less thing to stress about.

I knew you would understand what they're going though with the adoption. I hope the last week or so of waiting goes quickly for you and everything else goes smoothly. I was so sorry to hear that your trip wasn't all you hoped it would be.

I love all of the AG posts. I'm really kicking myself for not getting the bitty babies.

I'm so sorry for the little girl who fell on the escalator. I hate escalators. I was at the mall once when a little boy got his hand caught in it. It was awful.

I have a silvermist costume question. My 10 year old wants me to make her a silvermist costume. I've been looking at google images and it looks to me like the one in the park might be a shirt and skirt. I think that might get the best flair around the waist before the bottom part starts. Does that make any sense?

What do you all think?

I also wondered if anyone knew if they sell stuff that you could spray on fabric to make it look like the dew drops they have on artificial flowers. I tried to google, but didn't have much luck.

I'd appreciate any tips or advice.

Here is my DD Mike dress. My DH loves this one.

Love it!!!!

Opinions please everyone, I am starting a stripwork twirl today and not sure what color bias tape to put at the bottom, what would you all do? Thanks everyone !!

Maybe yellow or black? I guess I always think black looks nice and sharp!

 

[pixeegrl]

LOVE IT!!!!

So cute, I love the button eyes. It gives him more character!
[/QOUTE]

I found the other Evil Queen-

Love them all but especially the Evil Queen.

Opinions please everyone, I am starting a stripwork twirl today and not sure what color bias tape to put at the bottom, what would you all do? Thanks everyone !!

I say go with red to bring it out more!

 

[pixeegrl]

I FOUND DR SEUSS FABRIC! SORT OF....
Found these cute scrubs. Ordered a 3XL for $21. Still high but cheaper than Here's a link!

 

[mom2rtk]

Here is my DD Mike dress. My DH loves this one.

The fabric you picked is just perfect! Great Job!!



I am not sure off the top of my head but I do think there was a pretty authentic Snow White pattern from Simplicity. It might have included Cinderella.

I did not do an Evil Queen costume but I did a custom. She is a favorite around here.

This is STUNNING! Great job!

I would think either red or the golden yellow that is in the fabric since you didn't use those two colors in the strips. That is gonna be cute!

 

[troijka]

Wow your children are beautiful Are they twins girls? That fabric is loveley where did you buy it such beautiful children your little boy looks so cute in matching outfit.

hi! Thanks ofr the children compliments. Actually, the only child who is mine is the blonde girl. The other three are her cousins (they are all brothers and sisters). My daughter and her cousin are five weeks apart.

The fabric is from a sheet set (which I have VERY LITTLE left of:) I am on the lookout for more!

I'm loving all the AG photos! My Chicago pictures are on a thumb drive somewhere but here are some AG Place L.A. photos. This was a year ago. DD was 10. Have to include some food shots!

 

[karamat]

Okay, that is good to know. I'd imagine it would be about the same in Houston. I think the difference is that the Saengar is like an opera house. I think this place is an auditorium. I really want to make a Phantom of the Opera T shirt... but I don't want to embarrass my hubby. Claire has a cute design on her site.

The Hobby Center is nice, but not an opera house. DH and I saw Lion King there. If you are going on a weekday most people will probably be in work clothes. My mom and I used to have season tickets to the Alley Theater (just across the square from Hobby center) and we would leave work, grab dinner downtown and then go to the play. You'll find that a lot and there are a number of restaurants that cater to the pre-show dinner crowd.

 

[ibesue]

I made a Tink set using a pillowcase, but it wasn't a stripwork - I think that would be cute! Here's mine I did awhile ago.

And a Cinderella with just the face.

So cute and wow, has she grown up!!!! For those who can't find the pillowcases, I think Claire is doing a face that is very similar! I would use the pillowcases that I bought, except Kadie wanted them on her pillow.

Here is my DD Mike dress. My DH loves this one.

I did not do an Evil Queen costume but I did a custom. She is a favorite around here.

Both are very cute!

Deann,

These are the customs from our trip last year. Sophee was not quite a size 2 yet.

Just because-

I found the other Evil Queen-

They are all so cute! And I love how you have them matching in almost every set. And matching shoes. No outfit is complete without matching shoes.

 

[Mirb1214]

Those are really cute! I love the tink, but I don't know if I could figure out how to do the skirt part yet. Thanks for responding....I was beginning to wonder if anyone saw my question. I guess I am just really nervous to try it because I don't know if it will look good and I don't have that much experience with sewing. I don't want to waste all of that fabric. Any helpful hints? I can't decide if I will give it a whirl or not.

Butterick has a pattern that is PERFECT for petals. I don't know what the number of it is b/c I'm at work but I can check later if you want.

I am LOVING this one too!

Hi there, I've been following this thread for the past couple of months admiring all everyones work, and WISHING I had a little girl to dress up in the beautiful dresses I've seen here! But alas, my little girl just turned 18!!!! And won't let me pick out/buy her clothes anymore (unless she is with me to pick them out of course). However I do have a 6 year old DS who is SO excited about our upcoming Disney Trip (this will be his second but he was only 2 when we went the first time and he doesn't remember it).

I see SO much for little girls here, can someone post pictures of boy outfits that a 6yr old would go for? Would LOVE to see the Disboutique for Boys!

Well I have done a POTC Bowling Shirt:



And Tie Dye Mickey heads are alway popular with my boys:

Oops I'd just posted this on the old thread, lol

And I think I did find a way to make a private blog/TR. Which also means, I can post the TR sooner and include EVERYONE. So please PM me your email address if you'd like access (if you've been posting here before and I 'know' you, please not if you just stumbled on this thread!)

((hugs)) Marah

Thank you so much! All the prayers are appreciated.

I have spent a lot of today (when we weren't napping) going over all the GOOD things with the girls. I'm hoping that way the happy memories will outweigh the "not so happy" ones.

I can see why many people would love Pop Century. For us it just wasn't a fit. And it most definitely wasn't a "fanciness" issue, as our first trip we stayed in a family suite at All Star Music and LOVED it. I think a few issues for us were the "feel" of it being smaller, the poolside movies at night and kids activities, and being closer to where we could refill our mugs!

Now I need to figure out where we can stay Dec '10. We will have five kids ages 14, 12, 9, 3 and 2, plus of course The Husband and myself. Any suggestions? (other than adjoining rooms?)

So sorry your trip did not go as planned. If I were you I would try the Family Suites, or the Wilderness Cabins for the 2010 trip. BTW, i didn't like Pop either.

I am wanting to make at least two really great custom dresses for the baby to wear around the holidays.. Now keep in mind she will only be a month old for Thanksgiving and around two months old for Christmas but we are pretty sure this year will be the last year that hubbys grandma will be with us for the holidays so I was wanting to go all out and make matching fall/thanksgiving dresses for the two little ones (newborn and 3 years by that time) as well as Christmas. But I am just stumped as to what I can make the newborn..So can I see your smallest clothing creation ?? I am in hopes this will get my brain working so I can come up with ideas.. Thanks soooo much !

There is always the Itty Bitty dress. And then just make something for the 3 yr old with the same fabric.

You guys continue to get better and better. I love how helpful this thread is and how everyone continues to just improve so much. I can't wait to check in each day and see what everyone has done. I took a break from my marathon appliques to work on our autograph books. I got a bit intimidated by my cricut, so I went to the old standby- digi scrapping. I will print these out and mount to chipboard. There will be a 2 inch piece of coordinating cardstock on the bottom for the character to sign. The black sections will be cut off (so it will be luggage tag shapped). I will have little rings holding it all together. Here are a few pages that I have finished.

This is the cover and gives an idea of the overall size.

Those are great. So bright and colourful.

Here are my very first Vida's thanks the the tutorial posted on the boards a few days ago (I'm sorry, but I can't remember her name on here right now but her blog is lyin' on the couch watching oprah ). I was surprised to see how easily they went together and I will definitely be making more. My DD's loved them!!!

My dancing princesses:

Great job. Looks like they love them.

Traci,

Here is the Pooh toile I made for Margaret. Since they are leaving for their wish trip so soon, I just used a couple of fabrics I already had. It is a very simple dress. I hope it will be easy for her mother to dress her in.

That is really sweet.

Great set. I love that skirt. And congrats on starting the Feliz

As I'm starting our photobook and getting my trip report ready, I thought I'd post a few pics of Melissa's (mommyof3princess) awesome outfits in action!

It took two days for me to get the Hula dress off of Hannah. Yes, she even slept in it TWICE! I only managed it this morning because she had to get ready for another trip (and then she tried to put her Minnie dress back on before it was washed, lol!)

They look great in those dresses.

The hem is even, btw. I think it was just not hung properly on the form.

Awesome job.

Great. I love this one.

I made my youngest DD(6) a couple of things for our trip Wednesday. Here's a simple little Buzz sundress:

And a Dug (Up) Vida. It is growing on me. I need to do more applique so I can get better and be happy with the results. Emma LOVES it so that is what really matters!

I really like the buttons for the eyes. I think the eyes might be a bit too close but Emma says to leave it as it is. I got the image from a coloring book and he had his eyes closed in the picture so placement was a bit tough. I also really love the balloon fabric-got that on fabricsgalore-got the Buzz there too.

Very cute. Love the simple style of the Buzz one.

I finally uploaded some disboutiquer appropriate photos that I wanted to share. I really don’t sew but when my nieces were small I did smock (and with a lot of assistance manage to finish) a dress for each of them.

Those are really nice. It is great that you got to make one for each of them.

That is so good. Love all the Bling

Deann,

These are the customs from our trip last year. Sophee was not quite a size 2 yet.

All those outfits were great. Love the matching shoes etc. I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into everything.
