Okay, I should make it clear (even if you hadn't posted) that we have had the absolute best agency and loved ALL our workers. No problems at all /knockonwood.

But it's kinda like your boss...even if you love them, they are still your "boss" and in charge of reviewing EVERYTHING you do.

I talked to the boys' foster care CW yesterday (she has closed out their file) and discussed how odd/nice it will be to just TALK and not have to "REPORT"

I am so excited for you and the family. I can't wait to read the post after you get back from court that day. We are going to have to declare it phineas and ferb day on this thread.

Boy isn't that the truth!!! Looking in cabinets, checking for safety, asking nosy questions. Social workers are a pain in the ........

When I grow up I want to be one Morgan has declared that is the best way for me to help HER babies. (Guess she has finally given up on me bringing them ALL home and will settle for this)

We love our SW (she is more a friend-she adopted 3 girls) and of course Miss Kris a teen!

How is Aisling?

I've been thinking of her too, I especially hope you can get the bug spray stuff figured out.

Oh, and Emmy is my girl who wants to be a social worker!

Ok, I have been looking for a "new" online home. I just looked at facebook and I don't think that is for me (I really don't feel a need to "reconnect" with people I have not seen since 1st grade), Myspace was a little intense. Does anyone know of any other sewing boards like this one? Where do you sewing ladies (and Tom) spend your online time?

Say what you will...I know we are pains! The haircut comment was hilarious!

You want to be a SW? Remind me to knock some sense into you in October!!!

Thanks for worrying about Aisling ladies. She had a great day at Camp and is now with her grandmother who will apply bug spray all day long! She is with my mom for 8 days and they were gone about a 1/2 hour before I realized that I forgot to send her health ins card

She is in Old Orchard Beach, ME which is about 1 1/2 hours from me. I told my mom that I'm sleeping with my blackberry in my bed so if anything happens...call right away. Could their vacation be any worse timing????

we had the worst thunderstorms today, the rain destroyed some of my lillies, I went out to review the damage and was able to "upright" some and take a few pics, in case they are gone tomorrow...I can't wait as more bloom, I planted close to 30 bulbs, casa blanca, stargazer,Le Reve, asiatics (what I photographed today) pink, yellow,red, etc...
I only wish Id had them planted as a group, rather than spread out, I think Ill try to dig them up and re group them after they are done blooming, in the fall..

not sure if you got an answer, its probably the Simply Sweet, but with the halter option instead of the jumper option- these dresses are also allowed to be made and resold (thought you might be interested in that since you also sell as a business)

Many thanks! I think I'll buy that one and give it a try. My daughter is 8, and turning 9 in the Magic Kingdom this fall. As you might guess, I feel like I've done my regular patterns to death! So on to something new. I'm loving all the inspiration here!

I've never sewn with any of the Carla C patterns. Can anyone tell me if the sizes run pretty true? For me this is the part I hate most... getting to know the sizing of the patterns....

Sorry Cindee...we are all on Facebook. You know that you have to accept people before they can see your profile right? You don't have to accept all the folks from HS....unless you are me because I feel guilty if I don't

My favorite of the trip - the Minnie Dress

Love this dress! DD did too!

Sounds like a great machine! I wouldn't downgrade.

Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry to repost, I could not remember it and I came across the outfit today and it reminded me. Too funny about your DD

Don't apologize for reposting! That outfit is gorgeous!

I'm starting my first Simply Sweet this weekend, too. In fact I'm printing off the pattern as I type this. Perhaps we can stumble through together.

I hope to start it this weekend if I can. This may be your first Simply Sweet but it is my first dress from a pattern ever so I am sure you will be much more help to me than I will be to you. If you don't mind some dumb questions from me, it would be great to stumble through together!

I didn't want a bunch of people on facebook contacting me either so I just listed my married name and not my maiden name - people from the past don't know my married name.

You need to be on facebook! You only have to accept those that you want to have connection with. I also like that you can assign your friends to "groups" and then only groups of people can see different things. I have a "group" for people that I work with, for adoption friends & disboutiquers. It really is a fun place.

I find the pattern to be very true to size. If I ever have a question, I take the measurement that Carla suggests - for the simply sweet, it's the chest measurement. I make the pattern that matches that size - even if it doesn't match the size that is normally worn. It is such a versatile pattern to modify . It's a true work horse in my pattern collection.

Hi Everyone - Happy Weekend!!

Love the cute little Minnie and other dresses!!!

I have a question for those who have made tops for themselves. How the heck do you choose a fabric??? Its my mom's bday on Tuesday - she is going to be 62!!! I cant believe it!!! But anyways, How do I pick out a fabric that wont look like curtains or PJ's on her??????? Im toying with the idea purchasing Carla's tunic pattern for adults - but am not sure what size to make her - she wears like a 12/14 in ladies clothing....I'd love for her to take it on her trip to Brazil....

She is in the middle of the picture wearing a blue shirt and holding baby Will - (this is the "family pic" of us with my step family)

Any suggestions? Do you think I should do a contrasting collar or ????? HELP!!!!

I posted before wondering if my Brother machine was going to work with my computer since it has Windows Vista on it. I called the store where I purchased it and they had me turn on my machine and double checked that it had been installed with a certain version of software. It had so everything was great - I was able to download a font pattern last night and my friend and I were able to put her little girl's name on some fabric to be used for her nap mat at preschool! I have a feeling I'm going to love this machine!

What size were the "pages" and what size was the finished skirt? For some reason looking at those it looks like your "pages" are bigger than the ones I have to work with.

You know how I feel about this pattern! I LOVE it! I just completed my second one tonight, and I'm wondering if I can get anymore finished before we leave for our trip on Sunday. I really suggest you go by the measurements in the pattern. It seems that many people didn't measure for the size that they would normally purchase in a store. Don't worry though - Carla tells you how to figure things out.

I really like how the pattern looks both with a contrasting collar and without. Here's with:

and without:
