Wow! Good to know they are fast. I need to mail mine off, but they wanted 150 up front. I don't know if my camera is worth that much!Update: I wanted to let everyone know we got our camcorder back today. I had it shipped to my mom so it's still there but Canon received it last Tuesday and had it done and shipped back by today. I would say that's awesome customer service. So we'll have it for our trip!
Woohoo! I accomplished my first multi-quote!
Congrats on your first multi

THat is so pretty! I love provincial Belle!
What is that on her ankle? Is it just some bracelets? She looks like she knows how to accessorize.

Yes... I understand. I have to win when I begin to bid.I get really nasty & pouty if I get outbid on something I really want. I also get into trouble sometimes making sure I win what I want. I tell you, it is a sickness!
I wish I would do that.. I always have to go back and check to see if just one more dollar would help me win though. lolI use Kaufman's Kona Cotton in Flesh for mine. It's the best color I've found for this.
BTW - I won't say I'm sorry for the BIN since I'm sure that seller needs the money.However, if I were you I wouldn't give up on the idea of the dress. Oh, and it's OK to pout from time to time. Just don't tell Zoe I said that.
Can you infect a few more people with that 'sickness'?I was pretty much 'cured' early in my experience of bidding. I spent too much for Disney Pins that now just sit in bags. After I got caught up in the adrenaline rush of bidding at the last second (and too often more than I should have), I learned to place my bid for the maximum I was comfortable spending and then leaving the computer until after the end so I wasn't tempted to bid again.
Thanks for the tip on the flesh color. I haven't found a color I have liked. I'll try to find some.
I'm off to your ebay page to see if I can find pictures of this dress everyone is talking about. I think I must have seen it before, but can't remember.
Congrats! Isn't it fun? I love Feliz.
Love your Mine bird dress. How cute!
Omgosh.. I have 3 ottlites. I use them constantly for sewing. I have a big one that is a standing one that is by my recliner for when I smock. I have one for travelling purposes, and one that I keep next to my sewing machine/ serger at all times. It helps me be able to see what I am doing.I have a small ottlight I use for scrapbooking. I never thought it use it for sewing, duh!

Megan told him all the the girls will want to be his friend with his new haircut and he rolled his eyes. He told her he was too young to like girls. Mom says good, lol!
I love them!
He looks cute in those jammies. Thank goodness he is too young to like girls!
We have a HOB in New Orleans. I have never eaten there. I have been to many concerts there though. Didn't know they have good food.The closest Cheesecake Factory is at The Galleria. Downtown we now have a House of Blues (one of my favorites!!) If you'd like some restaurant suggestions let me know.
I know this topic has been discussed before, sorry I didn't take notes then, but I want to get a dress form (toddler size) - any suggestions on where to buy? And what's a good size to get - my DD is in size 18-24 months, so I don't want something too big that the outfits won't fit, but I also don't want to re-buy one everytime she grows.

Have you seen my wooden dress hanger? Alot of people get those because tehre really isn't a size to them. It really is just a hanger with a stick on it for taking pictures though. If you want it for fitting it wouldn't work.
Love the fishie dress. I love the clownfish fabric!
Wow! It is beautiful! Would you mind posting a close up of Aurora when you get a chance? I love seeing how detailed your faces are.So I'm making a little progress on the skirt pattern testing as time allows. Here's the most recent version (actually I made it more than a month ago but finally had time to get photos edited). I'm really happy with how it came out - so much that I actually made a top to complete the set.The only thing I'm not so happy about is that the princess fabric I used in the skirt doesn't really show much once I added the extra 'frills'. Oh well, that was a lucky find in the remnant bin.

OK, back to trying to find a way to feel cooler. We're currently in the middle of what's predicted to be a string of record highs for the next several days.I don't do well in the heat... and we have no air conditioning so sewing is mostly done in the morning or at night if things cool off enough.
I can't believe you can survive without A/C. Shannon and I were without A/C one night in Arlington for market. I definitely think we would have ended up in a hotel the next night if those nice people hadn't fixed it the next day.
So... I was watching the Bachelorette and Ed was about to come out, and boom my DirectTV goes out. I was soooo upset! Now I have to wait for ABC to put the show up on their website. I think it takes a week. boohoo!
