Had to watch my ticker turn over to zero...g'night all!

The big day is finally here!!!! I so hope everything goes very smoothly and that today will be nothing but a day of celebration for you. And I can't wait to see pictures of the boys. Bless your heart for giving the boys the love they deserve.

Marah, I woke up this am and was flipping through the channels and adoption story was on and I instantly started crying thing it is ' Marah's GATCHA DAY!!!!' I am so excited for you!!! I can't wait to hear all about it:dance3::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:
 
I got sick of making animal print stuff for AK but was at a loss for what else to do...so I made a FOTLK dress instead- with my version of the Simba drawing that Rafiki did in the movie. Added bonus...we definately won't be losing her at the park!!

This is fabulous- I love this fabric, I have seen it at my local quilt shop (I used it for binding on something I think)
Does she love it? I do!!
 
I remember someone was looking for Mr. Penquin. We saw him tonight in DHS. They seem to have a rare character free-for-all every night from about 5-6:30. I read about it on the DIS boards and thought we would at least check it out to see if it was still happening. We saw the Queen of Hearts, the Queen from Snow White, Foulfellow from Pinocchio, Pinoccio and Gepetto, Jafar, Goofy and Max, Minnie and Pluto, Gov. Radcliffe, Mary Poppins and Mr. Penguin, Pocahontas and Meeko, Friar Tuck. We didn't have time to see all of them personally but thought I would pass on the info.

Thanks for the report from the field!! I have 5 PM blocked out on our DHS day and and plan to be in the animation building. I hope we find him!
 

And whoever made the adorable Mary Poppins dress: Great job! I love it!
 
JUJU814-So sweet1 I am glad you have found the confidence to sew! These ladies and Tom are amazing so supportive in so many ways!


I finally have things to post. I posted earlier in the week about my sister-in-law and I haven't had time to complete things.

Someone posted the water bottle carrier tutorial awhile ago, and I had been wanting to try it. It really wasn't too hard and I really like the way they turned out.
So cute! Love the bottle holders

I finished 1 halloween costume, 3 to go:cool1:. My DD3 is going as Marie. When I put it on her, she started meowing and licking us all:rotfl2:.

Too cute!

Ok - I need a little help - I can appearantly make more complicated things but when it comes to a simple pillowcase dress - I am a moron I must be making the arm holes too small or something. I tried, I really did. but ended up making my own thing. This is what I have. but I need to make the ribbon fit differently because they fall off her shoulders and she pulls on the bows to untie them.
IMG_7776.jpg

I am going back & forthe between adding a strip of red or spots to the bottom or hemming it & making little red or spotted bloomers.
I like the idea of bloomers.

Too many ups and downs for me today. . . My kids went back to school today. Thankfully that went well.

Then I found out that I lost my job. I am really upset about it.:sad1:I liked it a lot and it worked well with the kids school schedule. Not to mention I needed the money.

Thanks for listening . . .
:hug: sorry!

Love it! that material on the bottom is GREAT! Hmm I might need to find some:)

Bloomers can be made using the Easy FIt pants pattern right? Just make them shorter and put elastic in casing at the bottom? DO you normally use a size 2 if your little is in 18m or would you go with a size 1 for the bloomers?
I would make a size 2 but do the elastic to fit.
 
I made Aisling's Crystal Palace dress last night. I didn't get home from work until after 9pm and I STILL made it :banana:

th_007-2.jpg
That is so cute, Kristine!! Look at you, actually sewing stuff! You're still in the club! I just put an applique on a t-shirt for Sawyer yesterday. Does that count? :thumbsup2

I think I may have to write a tutorial about purchasing an embroidery machine and supplies. There is so much to learn and it is all subjective and based on personal preferences.

My new dilemma is about thread. What kind of thread should I buy? I see so many on Ebay and don't know what to get??? Also the lady at the store says she uses NEBS bobbins but I see others also. I need M type.

Who is your favorite ebay seller and what type of thread should I use. Brother uses polystar.
I tried not to do a long multiquote when I replied to you. I know you don't like those!

I use marathon thread!
http://www.marathonthread.com/collection.shtml

I use the rayon and I got the 50 most popular colors. I have already run out of the black, so you might want to get an extra spool of black and white, too!
 
Sorry I didn't want to post anything until it was done and booked!!

2010 package rates are out now! We just booked...

NINE DAYS AT CORONADO SPRINGS!

Dec. 4-12, Junior Suite, with DELUXE DINING!

We won't talk about my late period and all that as it makes my husband immediately hyperventilate. I'm sure the stress has made it late.
You've got 5...hey, what's another one? No biggie right.
I am soooooo excited for you- how perfect that you got to book your "mulligan trip" with you family- I would love to some day visit WDW during the holidays. Is it crowded in early December? Heck, I wouldnt mind going over the actual holiday and just being at my resort- dont even have to go to the parks- I have seen on tv how magnificent the resorts look during the holidays. Can't wait for that trip report too!! Lots of photos please!!

Im so excited and thinking of you today! Its been a long journey to get to this point- and while I dont have the adoption experience I am full of joy for you. Are you doing anything aftewards to celebrate? Ice cream sundaes is my suggestion LOL
Completely OT but thought you might enjoy these

This is so neat and so random! It's this group that just shows up and surprises people with stuff:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkBe...1CE829FB&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=23

This one, I guess since it's "Disney" is not totally off topic, but if you have a twisted sense of humor, you may get a kick out of this. Just goes to show you that context is everything! Here's what Mary Poppins trailer would be if it were a horror movie:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2T5_0AGdFic

Sorry, I couldn't resist. My twisted husband showed me that tonight.

Ok..off to bed. :)
very cool- I especially liked the train station one. Thanks!

Had to watch my ticker turn over to zero...g'night all!

Tee-hee!

I have both of these and thye are beautiful in person. The Pooh that I have is the same print but doesn't have the stitching on it. I made a shirt for Jenna with the Tink and haven't made anything with the Pooh yet. I agree with Wendy it is too pretty to cut. I want whatever I make to come out right and am too afraid to mess the fabric up.:lmao: Yes I buy fabric and won't cut it.

I agree with Kira that the schools in Louisiana are lacking.
I have zero fear of cutting fabric that sells for aprox $5 a yard LOL
But the Tinkerbell one looks like a nice big pictoral and I was thinking that would make a good fabric for the feliz pattern. I had a little trouble sewing the 2 layers together at the end- I think it was my ribbon at the top that caused part of the problem. I dont know what Ill make with the Pooh, maybe something for Hannah....
This Pirate's Royal Bootie on :wizard: has great prices and everything from dupioni silk to stuff that goes for $5 a yard.

Now Im off to try and make decisions on fabric for Hannah's baby dedication dress! Really- today.
 
Really cute. I love that wild print on the bottom.

I really like this dress. It is so original!!

Very cool! I love it!

Boy you sure have been busy! I love that! :goodvibes

I love the fabric on this and it is such a unique idea! It is PERFECT for FOTLK!

This is fabulous- I love this fabric, I have seen it at my local quilt shop (I used it for binding on something I think)
Does she love it? I do!!

Love it! that material on the bottom is GREAT! Hmm I might need to find some:)


Thanks All!!

It's an Alexander Henry fabric and I got it at JoAnn's. It's pretty bright but it's fun!

Aisling hasn't seen any of them yet. It's a surprise! (ON phone with Disney now adding another day :rolleyes) Does anyone have a big 5 year old that they want to lend me to try these things on? I'm so scared we are going to get there and they aren't going to fit!!!
 
Too many ups and downs for me today. . . My kids went back to school today. Thankfully that went well.

Then I found out that I lost my job. I am really upset about it.:sad1:I liked it a lot and it worked well with the kids school schedule. Not to mention I needed the money.

Thanks for listening . . .
:hug::hug::hug: So sorry that you have to deal with this right now.

I got sick of making animal print stuff for AK but was at a loss for what else to do...so I made a FOTLK dress instead- with my version of the Simba drawing that Rafiki did in the movie. Added bonus...we definately won't be losing her at the park!!

That is beautiful!! GREAT job! Emily looks so cute in it, too!

Tomorrow.

The good news is...I'm not being silly and paranoid!

The bad new is...I'm not being silly and paranoid!

So things are going as well as the possibly can right now, and hopefully everything will wrap up tomorrow without incident.
:hug: I am praying everything works out.
BTW, I finally got your TR to load on my stupid computer yesterday. It's great!


What a cute idea for the back of the shirt! I love it! The water bottle covers are so cool!

Oh my goodness, that is so adorable!! Tessa loves it! She also said "Look, they're watching Fairly Odd Parents! Sawyer has a cat costume he puts on and wears around the house all the time.

finish the outfits and shirts and bows
buy some more travel space bags and hope they work for the 3 pettiskirts and customs
Pick up a few more new things for me to wear on the trip
Get Taylor a couple more pairs of shoes to match her outfits
Buy Taylor's birthday presents from us
Get my hair cut and straightened
Pack Taylor's suitcases
Pack my suitcases
Pack DH's suitcases
Go pick up all of DH toiletries since he doesn't have anything at home and I doubt he will bring anything back from Iraq
Go shopping for stuff to put in Taylor's presents from Mickey and the Gang
Figure out how and where I can get Balloons into the room
Go shopping for stuff to decorate our room on her bday
Figure out how to make Mickey footprints, handprints, and pretty boxes from Mickey and gang
Book a rental car (poo.... I didn't remember this until just now)
Find a new backpack...and/or camera bag for my SLR
Get an oil change and get DH's car detailed (since I have been driving it while he was gone)
Go to the tanning bed or something to fix the pale tops of my shoulders where I have worn too many shirts with sleeves and now I want to wear tanks at Disney
Buy new luggage since the airline broke mine last week
Put together Taylor's new stroller
Call the cake hotline and order Taylor the slipper dessert for CRT on her bday

Oh and I just remembered I have to make my sister an AK skirt like Taylors too
:faint: Oh, I mean- YOU CAN DO IT!! :cheer2:

I just found out my harmones that I have to get filled are going to cost me 420 dollars. I'm without insurance for a month because there is a 30 day wait period at DH's new job. My doctor said I can't stop taking it, so hopefully I can figure something out. I'm trying to contact the drug company since I know sometimes they will give you a coupon. Ugh.. now I'm really stressed out!
Can you get samples from your doctor until your insurance kicks in?

I found DisBoutiquers last year while planning our trip and was in awe...and inspired..and just awe and inspired. I have lurked and read and seen your beautiful creations. It is only because of the encouragement I got from you ladies that I was able to actually complete three dresses. I know to some of you that may not seem like a lot, but it is a HUGE deal for me and more so to my dd.

Now, suddenly, I'm not so afraid of my sewing machines. I'm used to the embroidery part because of my digitizing, but wasn't used to SEWING. Now, I just found CarlaC's preppy skirt pattern and am praying I'll be able to make little uniform bottoms for Emily! (I had to ask the director to make sure the style is ok..I think she's pretty relaxed)

Sorry to write a book and be so mushy, but you ladies totally rock!!!!!!
:hug: We're so glad you found us!

Having a "flu" and 103+ fever..no one wants to be near me so the houseguests aren't arriving till Sunday and I was just informed today that the baby shower is being moved to my aunt's house as the pregnant cousin is already very ill with ALS: and fragile..heaven forbid I gave her any more illness! So, now, thanks to my forever beloved housekeeper, Mara, I have an immaculate house and no one to mess it up until Sunday!!! Wooo hooo! (well, besides three kids...that'll take about a day...)

Hey, at least the flu and your fever are good for something!
 
Too many ups and downs for me today. . . My kids went back to school today. Thankfully that went well.

Then I found out that I lost my job. I am really upset about it.:sad1:I liked it a lot and it worked well with the kids school schedule. Not to mention I needed the money.

Thanks for listening . . .

I'm sorry about your job You were a preschool teacher right? Which school were you at and I am sure you have told me this before, which part of Atlanta are you in?
 
OK, so I am trying to lose a few pounds before we hit Disney, so I am not busting out of my shorts, especially with free dining. So all week, I have done really well with Slim Fast for breakfast and lunch, well what did I dream about last night...... a carrot cake cookie from DHS. I mean really I dreamed about eating a cookie. :scared1: Out of all the great food and snacks at Disney that is my absolute favorite thing in the world.

My problem is....ALL the food at Disney is my favorite!

So far I have lost 30 pounds since January. The bad news is..I just gained a half pound this week...the good new is I can fit into some clothes this week that I couldn't last week! Trying for one more size before we leave in ...43 days!

Marah:

HAPPY ADOPTION DAY!!
 
Thanks again for all of the anniversary wishes, everyone!!!

Your little girl is adorable! I think bloomers would be really cute with this.

sort of a vent, not really, just exausted...
with Megan (now 3) she got her first tooth at 12 weeks and had ALL her teeth by 12 months.
looks like Hannah is following suit. She cried most of the day yesterday and got progressively worse in the evening. gnawing on her little hand- if I recall it was a week of fussiness before the tooth broke skin with Megan. Today she was good during the day, but tonight she's back to crying...I gave her a tiny bit of infant tylenol that they had said she could have for vaccinations if I wanted. I didnt get to sleep til 1am and my bicep is on fire tonight.
Its not even 9 and Im ready for bed.
:hug:

not to highjack the thread but my little foster niece could use some good luck right now too. Lots of drama involved in her custody case, She could use some prayers for a judge that can see through the thick lies. UGH the more i deal with her drama the more i hate people!
I'll pray for her, too.

I can't decide between too casual/matches dad/ too hot/ too cold, etc!!
I vote for the khaki pants, button up shirt, and the sweater vest. Too cute!


Too many ups and downs for me today. . . My kids went back to school today. Thankfully that went well.

I'm so sorry you lost your job, Nancy. :hug:

That is awesome, Kristine!! I love it!! Where did you find that cool fabric?

I sat there watching the "do rei mei" one with a huge silly grin on my face. I love it! My brother (or nephew, can't remember for sure) showed me the Mary Poppins as horror movie one. It's so funny!

Hmmm......mind if I case that sometime??? I really like that as an easy version of a Mary Poppins.
Sure! As long as you're not going to make it to sell, CASE away!

And whoever made the adorable Mary Poppins dress: Great job! I love it!
Thank you!
 
Becky, I got photobucket to work, so I thought I'd repost Tessa's Mary Poppins dress. It was really easy to make, comfy, and pretty! She could wear it again later without the sash!

DSC09075_360x480.jpg
Love this mary poppins; looks adorable, and still comfortable.
Hey Miranda!
I'm glad to read you're feeling better. So sorry you had swine flu...eeewww! I have something now...they are not sure what, but the swine test was negative. I'm not sure what could be worse..the actual flu, or that terribly aweful test sticking that thing up your nose

I think for me it is strep. The fever still persists and I woke up with a killer sore throat. I was supposed to have my friend and her family today come stay with me for a week, but they are staying an extra night in PA. I guess it's for the best.

Because I was so stressed and wanted so badly to get a couple more outfits done, while having tea with a dear friend last week who loves loves loves to sew, she volunteered to make a couple of dresses for Emily for our trip (2 weeks from this saturday) Here is the minnie dress!! Sorry the picture doesn't show it well ie: upright. I'll post another pic of Emily in it soon. I'll also post pics of Emily in the Ariel and Belle dresses Shannon made. Coming up next is the pink Cinderella dress.

This dress was made with CarlaC Simply Sweet jumper front bodice, ruffled elasticized straps, halter back. We constructed it per my friend's way..2 rows elastic casing in the back..same as my snow white and cinderella dresses.

Now that my friend and her family isn't coming till Sunday, hmmmmmm, I wonder if I have time for the Luau dress! LOL

Julie
Love this, Julie! Super, super, super cute!
I made Aisling's Crystal Palace dress last night. I didn't get home from work until after 9pm and I STILL made it :banana:

007-2.jpg



009.jpg
Great job!
Finally finished!!! Patchwork twirly dress

I can't believe I finally finished this. Emily is tickled pink...and so am I, that it's done! LOL Now I can go into houseguest and baby shower mode

august2009142.jpg

august2009144.jpg



Sorry for so many pics..I took about 20!! LOL
Love, love, love, love, love this; just perfect!
Thanks for all the details. I purchased the Simply Sweet pattern but haven't made anything yet. My five and half year old fits between the size 3 and 4 measurements and I was a little worried about that. I think a size five with the elastic like you did it might work best. I saved your instructions to my sewing file and hopefully once I try the Simply Sweet I can use your method. I'm very impressed with your skills! I also forgot to mention, I really like your color combinations for the stripwork. I can't wait to try one.
I promise, the measurements will work. I have an almost 10 year old and the 6 bodice fits well.
I finally have things to post. I posted earlier in the week about my sister-in-law and I haven't had time to complete things.

These came out great! Love the shirt, and am definitely going to have to make a water bottle carrier.
I finished 1 halloween costume, 3 to goMy DD3 is going as Marie. When I put it on her, she started meowing and licking us all.
dis002-1.jpg
dis001-1.jpg
That is just the cutest costume ever.

HAHA I wish I was finished sewing.... I want to finish this weekend since DH leaves Iraq on Monday and could be home as early as Tuesday, and I don't want to still be sewing when he gets home.

I have 2 more things to finish for Taylor... her 2nd Ohana outfit and something else for Epcot (I was going to do Mickey heads with different countries flags, but now I am thinking I may just do a white sundress with lots of mickey heads in bright colors).

I still have 12 more t-shirts to do for us adults....and I think 4 or 5 more sets of matching bows for Taylor. Although the good news is, I am more confident in my bows now, and they are starting to look pretty cute... I made 10 pairs last night (I will get some pictures of them tonight).

Oh yeah and I need to post pictures of her Chef Mickey's outfit I finished this weekend and a really really simple chip and dale outfit I made when I got back in town. I wanted to throw something together fast to feel like I was making progress.... I'm not sure where she is wearing it, it is probably just a backup in case she gets dirty more times then her 3-4 outfits a day.

I am sooooooooo not ready for our trip.... I did call and get her cake ordered today for 1900 PF.... but I still have a list a mile long to do:

finish the outfits and shirts and bows
buy some more travel space bags and hope they work for the 3 pettiskirts and customs
Pick up a few more new things for me to wear on the trip
Get Taylor a couple more pairs of shoes to match her outfits
Buy Taylor's birthday presents from us
Get my hair cut and straightened
Pack Taylor's suitcases
Pack my suitcases
Pack DH's suitcases
Go pick up all of DH toiletries since he doesn't have anything at home and I doubt he will bring anything back from Iraq
Go shopping for stuff to put in Taylor's presents from Mickey and the Gang
Figure out how and where I can get Balloons into the room
Go shopping for stuff to decorate our room on her bday
Figure out how to make Mickey footprints, handprints, and pretty boxes from Mickey and gang
Book a rental car (poo.... I didn't remember this until just now)
Find a new backpack...and/or camera bag for my SLR
Get an oil change and get DH's car detailed (since I have been driving it while he was gone)
Go to the tanning bed or something to fix the pale tops of my shoulders where I have worn too many shirts with sleeves and now I want to wear tanks at Disney
Buy new luggage since the airline broke mine last week
Put together Taylor's new stroller
Call the cake hotline and order Taylor the slipper dessert for CRT on her bday

Oh and I just remembered I have to make my sister an AK skirt like Taylors too

Wow....anyone wanna come help me out... I am feeling pretty intimidated now that I typed it all out.... guess I should print this list as my checklist now. At least I have a half day at work tomorrow and Taylor will still be at preschool while I get some stuff done.
So, not much to do then? Don't worry, you'll get what needs to get done, done.
My dd wears a size 6 top. Some dresses size 5, but more a 5/6 or 6. I used pattern size 5 for the jumper front and halter

To all the wonderful ladies here
This is where you might think I'm a total nut case...but many of you sew and it seems like it comes so easy and so natural to you...and I personally am always in total awe of all the gorgeous outfits you make. I have a 17 year old daughter and a 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter. Since my oldest was young I have desired to sew for her. I made something here and there, but it never fit right and the end result was never satisfying. I have made one dress that she wore forever for Miss Emily...the twirly dress from sewbaby...other than that, I have many started projects, but nothing I finished. Mostly, it was my own personal fear of failure. I love to digitize, and feel I'm pretty good at it, but I have sooooooo desired just to sit and sew for personal pleasure.

I found DisBoutiquers last year while planning our trip and was in awe...and inspired..and just awe and inspired. I have lurked and read and seen your beautiful creations. It is only because of the encouragement I got from you ladies that I was able to actually complete three dresses. I know to some of you that may not seem like a lot, but it is a HUGE deal for me and more so to my dd.

Now, suddenly, I'm not so afraid of my sewing machines. I'm used to the embroidery part because of my digitizing, but wasn't used to SEWING.

(I had to ask the director to make sure the style is ok..I think she's pretty relaxed)

Sorry to write a book and be so mushy, but you ladies totally rock!!!!!!

I want to post pics of Emily in the two beautiful princess dresses that Shannon made but am waiting until she gets back from vacation because I want her to see them. Anyone knows when she gets back? Shannon, if you're reading this, thank you soooo much and thanks for your sewing help!!!

Julie
You are too sweet; I'm just glad you came out of hiding and joined us. I really appreciate all you add to the group.
not to highjack the thread but my little foster niece could use some good luck right now too. Lots of drama involved in her custody case, She could use some prayers for a judge that can see through the thick lies. UGH the more i deal with her drama the more i hate people!
Praying and sending pixie dust now.
I got sick of making animal print stuff for AK but was at a loss for what else to do...so I made a FOTLK dress instead- with my version of the Simba drawing that Rafiki did in the movie. Added bonus...we definately won't be losing her at the park!!

007-3.jpg


009-1.jpg
I've used that print before and love it, but really ,really love using it for FOTLK; can I case your idea?

Too many ups and downs for me today. . . My kids went back to school today. Thankfully that went well.

Then I found out that I lost my job. I am really upset about it.:sad1:I liked it a lot and it worked well with the kids school schedule. Not to mention I needed the money.

Thanks for listening . . .
I am so sorry for the hard day and for loosing your job. I know it doesn't make any sense right now but I have found that usually when 1 door closes, another one opens and it is even better. Prayers being said for you.
