Disboutiquers Part 16 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I made a blue belle dress - I did the buttons on the front

I love the Mrs. Potts! So cute! I would have to do it by hand though since I don't have an embroidery machine. That seems like it would be hard to get all of the little details by hand, but I would sure like to put chip or Mrs. Potts on mine.

Geesh everyone's been busy! I am hoping to have an outfit to post tomorrow. I just need to whip up some easy fit capris and am hoping it goes fairly quickly (never made them before).

Yes those are Carla's Easy Fits. I SO wish she had Easy Fits for adults. . .I LOVE the easy fit pattern! As for my little model; she LOVES when I make her an outfit and LOVES to wear them but when I first get them made and just want her to "try them on". . . she wants NO part of it!

I jotted down a couple of patterns that others had mentioned for adults. I haven't even looked at the patterns in the store or on-line, just wrote them down for reference so i can make dd and I matching pj's. They are Simplicity So Easy Adult Pants 9871 and Butterick 5044 (I hope-- I wrote the last two numbers in that pattern over a number on my calender and can't quite make it out exactly.

AHHHH my skirt is DONE!!! It's a mess, tons of mistakes, but I think I'll keep getting better. I really need a ruffler foot. that's my next purchase before I attempt any other twirly anythings!! here are the pics. my daughter was in the back of our truck. ha ha.

I knew you could do it! It looks like dd loves it as well. I am looking forward to trying a patchwork one of these days. I'm going to try a stripwork first (for Halloween).

Thats a fab skirt, your daughter looks very pleased with it. I haven't attempted a twirl skirt yet as I haven't got a ruffler foot either, I'm doing it all by hand.

I have just finished my 3rd dress....yes I am counting because I still can't believe I'm sewing....nor can the rest of my family
I am getting better, but still making a few mistakes

I made this dress for our breakfast at Crystal Palace in September...cant wait
As you can see my DD4 is loving the modeling

Would you belive it my DS10 is now getting jelous as I have made dressed for my DD. He wants me to make him a My Friends Tigger and Pooh, Supper sluth Tshirt....argghhh...how am I going to do this...I'm just a beginner

Sam

So adorable! Love the soft pastels.

FWIW, some kids are just really strong willed; and when they hit the twos and threes, feel the need to test every boundary every time they come up against it; even if it's the 300th time that day. (trust me, I know the pain; at 2 my DD stayed in a hallway for over 9 hours because she wouldn't pick up a toy that she threw on the ground) Not saying his first year didn't make it tougher, but it may just be him. Thankfully, he's got parents who give him the consistent boundaries he needs, even when he deoesn't want them. Strong willed (even in the extreme) children become strong leaders, are able to resist peer pressure, etc. Someday this personality trait, if molded well, will serve him and others. Unfortunately, you get the job of molding it

Ah, I love how you see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have a very strong-willed dd and hearing things like this really help me put it all into perspective, and be a better mother to dd. I get so irritated w/ dd all too easily, but hearing things like this help me realize what a wonderful little girl she is. I'm so glad you posted that

Guess what we did yesterday? We went to see the Christmas Carol Train Tour Before I post, know that we only decided to go at midnight the night before, so no customs
but at least I got some pics!


It was a long train:

Sorry so long, and rambling, and completely OT, but I knew I'd want to see it if any of y'all went. Totally worth standing in line, even.

My son is a train freak. Sadly it's not coming anywhere near us. I'm so glad you were able to see it.

Well, it's just a darn good thing I'm not a crazed costume/character lunatic, or THAT might make me mad...........

Actually I have been there 3 times in the past 20 months. 2 of the 3 times Lady Tremaine was there, so I've always known that was a risk.... The night we missed her the Fairy Godmother was there in her place, which was perfect because we were on our way to the P & P party and I was wearing MY fairy godmother costume!

I figure if we miss that night, my daughter will just have to boss Anastasia and Drizella around herself.... I didn't want to drag that costume into the MK, but I know we can do that if we don't find her at 1900 PF!

I had no clue that the FG sometimes stands in for LT. I'll be a bit peeved if that happens the night we go and I have a feeling you will feel the same way if she's not there when your dd is.

Oh, I forgot: I did get a chance to sew this last night for DD:

I gotta stop sewing on Saturday night though. DD wakes up every Sunday wanting to know what I made her to wear to church LOL.

Love the fabric -- I always adore black and white together and the outfit looks awesome.

Other than not having buttons, I finished DS AK shirt. I still have DH and a dress or skirt for myself.

Looks great! I adore that Zebra fabric.

Many thanks to all for the research on Cindy's parade dress. I am finally done. I wasn't completely sold on the skirt yet, so I took that off and did a new one. My daughter had a growth spurt and it was just a little short, and I also thought it needed a double layer of the mesh dot fabric. It's now hemmed and has a massive bow (with tails!) in back. She has a matching headband, rhinestone choker and earrings.

And now that I'm sick to death of it, I can call it officially done!

Your dd has to adore you! Heck, I wish you were my mom!

Yep, that's me... brave enough to use a photo of me in costume for my avatar, but not brave enough to show my face!!

Ah but if you look at your Flickr link you can see your face a bit! You actually very much remind me of a former co-worker of dh's (she's a doll and she can sew too, but no one can sew like you!).

Thanks!!! I'm not above begging.... And it WILL be her birthday that day.... I just don't know WHO to beg.....

Try stopping in guest realtions to see if they can help.

Hey all, I have been MIA for a few days. Some of you may know my DH had his gall bladder out on Friday morning in an outpatient facility. Well, by Friday night he was in horrible pain and having chest pains and couldn't breathe very well. Pain meds did nothing and since he couldn't relax the pain was getting worse. We called our health care company and they said go to urgent care. We did, it was a 3-4 hour wait to get in. So we went to the Emergency Room at our local hospital. They got him right in and had a lot of tests. They decided to admit him overnight for observation. On Saturday and Sunday, they ran even more tests. He is now running a temp and still cannot move without being in horrible pain.

Its now Sunday night (well, Monday morning) and he is still in the hospital. So I am asking if you can spare a few prayers. Its been a long few days and we are no closer to finding out what is wrong than we were Friday.

Thanks.

Thinking of you and your dh. I hope you get answers soon so dh can be treated properly and start feeling better.

Back from Disney - what a wonderful first family trip!!! And although we survived the August heat and had a blast, I am not sure we will go in August again! The girls did wear the dresses I made to a couple of night time meals, but it was just too hot in the day - they wanted Tshirts and shorts!! I think I have about 40 pages to catch up on here (besides loads of laundry!) Can't wait to see the new creations!!!

Here are a few pics (I took over 450 - not including photopass )

What gorgeous girls you have! The older one so has your eyes! What nationality are you? Such pretty almond shaped eyes. It looks like the girls were in heaven on your trip.

I finally have something to share. I have been busy working on a rag quilt for my DSIL, so have not gotten time to sew any quick things. DSIL bought fabric to match the new paint colours in her bedroom to make a rag quilt with and then discovered she did not have enough time to sew it. (I don't understand this, she has no kids and she is a high school teacher, so is off for the summer I have 2 kids and work full time. Anyway, she asked if I could make it for her and she would pay me for my time. I agreed, but it is 143 squares, so it is taking a bit of time.

So I decided to take a break from it this weekend and did some stuff for my cousins kids.

A portrait peasant nightie for Amber:





And a pair of easy Fit PJ pants for Riley:




I am going to try a Curious George applique on a shirt tonight to go with this, but I'm not sure how it will come out as I have really only done single shape appliques so far. (Like Mickey Heads)

Adorable fabric! I was thinking of buying the portrait peasant as well thinking it would make a great nightgown.

How many of you sew for yourself....

I have been sewing for so long and have never made anything for myself...
not sure why just never have... so how many of you sew for yourself too..
and what do you make for yourself..

I really only sew for the kids. But funny thing is when I made Alexa's twirl dress I tried on the skirt part b/f attaching it to the bodice and thought if it was just a hair longer it would make a cute fun skirt for myself. I will likely attempt it in the future.

Let's see..... There was the wedding dress in 1985..... And a few nice business suits before kids...... Can't remember the last thing though....

Excuse me, but you are forbidden to post a statement about making your own wedding gown without posting a picture of it.

Thanks Chica!!!

She is currently free of my gypsyrump so I think it would work for her. I wish they had this in grown up size! (and fluffy size!)

You are too funny!!! I think I qualify as having *gypsy rump* as well.

I love this thread and I've gotten lots of great ideas. I finally finished a project I've been working on for what seems like forever...a dress that looks like June from Little Einsteins for my daughter Emily (2). I used New Look Pattern 6688. Overall I'm happy with it and want to brag a little, it's the most complex thing I've sewn so far. I don't like how the sash looks, I think I will go get a bigger ribbon, but that's minor. Here she is:

I finished something I started! woohoo! She'll be all set for our H&V breakfast next month.

PS - I might add a little Rocket applique on the bodice...I've seen them on ebay and I think that would be cool, but I don't know if it would be too "much" if you know what I mean.

Looks fantastic!

and here is why a new to sewing girl like me should probably take more time and try not to sew a skirt in one night....LOL.....the Tink fabric is upside down!! oh well...my DD loves it so she'll wear it to school tomorrow. but the good thing is that I firgured out how to do a decent hem. I still cant hand gather to save my life, I really need that ruffler foot.....
here is the skirt

To me it looks like the fabric is multidirectional and you just picked a spot that has a few inverted Tinks. A good way to make yourself feel better is to view as the way you have sewn it your dd can llok down at her skirt and see Tink the right way. And you'll likley think I'm koo-koo, but I love hand gathering. I'm far from perfect at it, but I find doing it therapeutic.

And I did lose a couple of quotes. One I recall is Molly modeling her outfit ~ she's a doll. And I too do the tongue thing only I look retarded when doing so -- Molly looks cute!

 

[teresajoy]

I'm behind again, so instead of trying to remember everything in one long multiquote, I'm breaking it up as I read them!

1900 Park Fare is my all-time favorite character meal! The stepsisters are SO much fun! Plus, the food is DEEE-LICIOUS! I still dream about the brownies that were kind of like fudge and kind of like brownies. MMMMMM.....

I don't think you sent the tree idea!

I will remind you to try the strawberry soup, you remind me to eat the brownie!

You know, I am going to have to get this pattern! I love to match my daughter with simple sundresses or beach cover ups. I think these would look great in that pattern. Ummmm, how big does it go though???

Yours looks great Jessica! I love that fabric too! Did all of you buy this Sisboom fabric at the same time? I've never heard of it until this recent surge with Carlas pattern!

We are pattern testers (we help proofread, make sure the pattern is easy to follow, which it always is, and then sew out the designs and give Carla feedback and suggestions on the pattern) for Carla and since Carla is designing for Jennifer Paganelli of Sis Boom, she is sending us fabric to use for our test outfits.

These are the nemo dresses I made for my girls. I love how they turned out. They are so twirly!!! Thank you ncmomof2 for helping with the tiered skirt!!!!! I think they are going to wear them to Epcot! Because I don't have a ruffler foot, the bottom ruffle took quite awhile! I think it was over 25 feet long and I had to ruffle it by hand. I definitely need a ruffler foot. I also still need to make hairbows to go with these outfits.

I love these dresses! Your girls are cuties!

I finished my first A-Line; it took a TAD longer than 15 minutes but it is REVERSABLE (which I never thought I could do)! Please excuse Mollie's "bedhead". It's like pulling teethe to get her to model to begins with. I sure wasn't going to make matters worse by insisting that I brush through her hair!

This is so pretty! I love the fabric!

Lydia looks so cute in the a-lines! I really like her in green with her hair.

I love her in the green too!

Hi guys,

Two things....

Ma is back in the hospital - 3rd visit because of the hernia issues - quick recap May had her 8th abd hernia surgery - July went back because of post of infection - Aug went back now because 2 years ago the guy (diff dr) must have hit her intestines because she had had bile leaking for this long... This caused the infections and mesh issues etc. etc. Now they have to address that in the front of her abd and open her side like a sandwich bag to pull apart her intestines, remove some and repack them in. Needless to say it's been hectic and she is scared to death.... so any blessing or good vibes you can send would be awesome. Her name is Pat if you want to add her to your prayers list.

Also... I am going to sew to help my nerves but I have to size up a pattern. The one I have is a 8 I need to make it a 10-12... How do I size it up? Is there an inch or so to add to the outside edge of the 8? I looked in the bookmarks on pg 1 but I didn't see anything.

Thanks for all of your help

Lady Tremaine is almost done. She wants to wear it to 1900PF on her birthday. We love to surprise the characters with little seen costumes, so this should be fun!

Sorry that was so big! I just shrank it a bit....

WOW! AMAZING!

I love the strawberry soup!

Me too!

The screwy letters was the issue the other day. but now its not taking my passoword or my email.

Im sure its just my computer acting up. sometimes it just hates me.

I'll try again today though.

Thanks for al the help ladies.

I am kidless today so i am off to the fabric store to start scoping things out!:

Make sure you are typing it in exactly as you did the first time, it's case sensitive.

Hey Ladies
I have a question for you, where can I get a cheap petti? I'm not looking to spend a ton on one, I want to make sure she will wear the thing and don't want to waste the money if she doesn't want to wear it. anyone know where I can get a decently priced one?
I'm almost done w/ twirly skirt! I REALLY need a ruffler. my hand gathering looks horrible, but this is my first twirl skirt and so far, I'm pretty proud of it! I'll post pics when I'm done of course. it's been a LONG work in progress. LOL

I know where to get them for $45.

I know someone on her made the cutest 50's diner waitress outfit. i think it was black and white. Does anyone have a clue who made it or have a picture of it?

I want to surprise Megan and make a version of it for halloween she wants to be a 50's waitress. Go figure.

I think that was Leslie, 2cutekids.

Question-

What are the chances that I can remove an machine embroidered name off an outfit without ruinning it? It is only four letters and then I will hand put the correct name on it.


l love the nemo dresses. I have about 4 yards of that fabric and have been trying to figure out what to make with it.

I've done that before. It took a long time, but it worked.

I wish it was showing around here. My girls and I all love Miyazaki films (Spirited Away is still my fav). If it doesn't show up here soon I may have to travel with the girls to see it.

I know it's playing in Portage. That's not TOO far for you to drive, and I hear there are two really nice sisters that live over that way!

AHHHH my skirt is DONE!!! It's a mess, tons of mistakes, but I think I'll keep getting better. I really need a ruffler foot. that's my next purchase before I attempt any other twirly anythings!! here are the pics. my daughter was in the back of our truck. ha ha.

I love it! Have you tried the tension trick for doing ruffles? I love it! You just crank the tension up on your machine, set your stitch to the longest, then run your machine slowly and only guide the fabric, try not to touch it too much, and VOILA! Ruffles!

Thats a fab skirt, your daughter looks very pleased with it. I haven't attempted a twirl skirt yet as I haven't got a ruffler foot either, I'm doing it all by hand.

I have just finished my 3rd dress....yes I am counting because I still can't believe I'm sewing....nor can the rest of my family

I am getting better, but still making a few mistakes

I made this dress for our breakfast at Crystal Palace in September...cant wait

As you can see my DD4 is loving the modeling

Would you belive it my DS10 is now getting jelous as I have made dressed for my DD. He wants me to make him a My Friends Tigger and Pooh, Supper sluth Tshirt....argghhh...how am I going to do this...I'm just a beginner

Sam

Sam, I love it!!! Your daughter is just gorgeous too! That Pooh fabric is adorable.

I bought Carla's precious dress pattern the other day. I am going to attempt to make a Minnie dress for Violette with it and I am scared! Carla's directions are wonderful but I've never made buttonholes before. Has anyone else used this pattern as a first timer on buttons who can reassure me I won't mess up my Minnie Dot fabric!

The buttonholes are hidden, so they don't need to be perfect, no one will even see them!

Oh, I forgot: I did get a chance to sew this last night for DD:

I gotta stop sewing on Saturday night though. DD wakes up every Sunday wanting to know what I made her to wear to church LOL.

That is so cute about your daughter!!!

Other than not having buttons, I finished DS AK shirt. I still have DH and a dress or skirt for myself.

This turned out great April! You are really good at these bowling shirts!

Many thanks to all for the research on Cindy's parade dress. I am finally done. I wasn't completely sold on the skirt yet, so I took that off and did a new one. My daughter had a growth spurt and it was just a little short, and I also thought it needed a double layer of the mesh dot fabric. It's now hemmed and has a massive bow (with tails!) in back. She has a matching headband, rhinestone choker and earrings.

And now that I'm sick to death of it, I can call it officially done!

Oh my goodness graciuos!! This is simply stunningly beautiful!!! Wow!

Oh, I'm praying for your husband too Sue. I hope you got some good answers and they made progress today.

 

[emcreative]

I know it's playing in Portage. That's not TOO far for you to drive, and I hear there are two really nice sisters that live over that way!

Lizzie was just going over with me all the towns we can drive to that would have the movie.

 

[t-beri]

OK. This is the first time in FOREVER that I don't have a book full of sketches waiting to come to life for our Oct. WDW trip. I just have NO IDEA what I'm gonna make.

Lily got a beautiful Lil' Mermaid outfit from IBESUE for her birthday (tons of thanks!!!) so she may wear that to DHS

Her minnie dot patchwork twirl still fits but needs a new shirt (NOT a white one this time ) SO I guess technically she could wear that

And it is POSSIBLE that her AK outfit still fits and it's a GREAT one but....

So I guess I could focus on making Vi stuff to match? hmm...

I know I wanna do a minnie dot precious dress for Vi. other than that I'm drawin' a blank!!!


HOW frustrating!! and I need to renew my TGM.

What a fun job being a tester. I would love to do something like that.

Thank you so much for answering my question. I was starting to think no one noticed.

 

[t-beri]

Elisa...the girls are getting SO big!! and I still see a grown up Lily when I look at Ireland!

 

[teresajoy]

I tricked Mollie into modeling for me today w/out her knowing it! I just let her wear her lastest outfit to chuch and we took pics once we got home!

and now sewing). I'm afraid Mollie may have the same problem!!

That is adorable!!! Love the tongue!

Does anyone know how to upsize the Easyfit pattern?

I'd like to make some in a size 12/14 for my middle daughter

It's in the bookmarks.

Sue, I pray that your the doctors can help your husband and he starts to heal up quickly.

The girls only wore the customs at two meals - CRT and Park Fair. It was just so hot that they wanted T's and shorts (and the sundresses wear fairly wrinkled at CRT from being in the back pack all morning!!) And Kristin (8) rebeled and wouldn't wear the patchwork twirl to PF - she wore the sundress again. I will have to scan in our pics made at PF, but here the girls are in their sundresses at CRT

Your girls are gorgeous!!! I love the dresses!

Finally have some new outfits to post.

I have that fabric you used for your daughter's outfis, it's so pretty!!!

AMelyia will love the princess dress!

I finally have something to share. I have been busy working on a rag quilt for my DSIL, so have not gotten time to sew any quick things.

OMG!!!

So, even though our trip is ages away, Hannah has already picked out the dress she "has to" have.

I started looking around for materials and found ONE of them I need...and it's $70 a yard!!! OMG!!

How in the WORLD do they expect me to take scissors to something that costs $70 a yard when I have no idea if I'll do anything other than mess it up, PLUS I can't even get myself to cut some $4 a yard stuff!!

Are you CRAZY woman!!???!! You don't cut into $70 a yard fabric!!! You admire it from afar!

Here is a t-shirt I am working on for myself for our upcoming trip. I am not looking forward to sewing around all of those letters.

This is really cute!!! I love the Mickey head!

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to check in. Ireland and I had a great day at MK on Saturday. It was soooo empty. The only time it was totally crowded was right after the parade and before the fireworks. We had gone back to the hotel during the afternoon, and returned later in the evening. It was a decision I regret. It was very busy and VERY DARK!!!! We watched the parade and headed in front of the castle for the fireworks, you literally couldn't move. It was terrible. All of these people were laying on the ground in their spot for the fireworks and it was so dark you could hardly see them. We headed to the back of the castle and went on Snow White, as soon as we got off the ride, the sky opened up and it was like a hurricane. The rain was so bad. I laugh thinking of all of those people laying on the ground...LOL. We decided to skip the fireworks and we went on splash mountain. I can honestly say, I won't ever go on it again. Very strange ride....Even Ireland was bothered by it. We did have a good time though...and what do you think Ireland's favorite moment was....???? Meeting the Disboard members that we ran into?

Nope...getting to shop the gift shops with no budget??? nope..
meeting all of the characters....?

swimming int the pool for 3 hours??? nope...It was meeting Brent's "unofficial" twin. We were standing in line for Philharmagic...and whose voice do I hear...IT"S BRENT!!!!! When I turn around I see him with another family, and that's NOT HIS WIFE HE'S HANGING ONTO!! EEEK. When he gets closer, I see that it isn't Brent, but he could have easily filled in for him...Same voice, same look. I do have a picture of the mystery man with Ireland.

It turns out, the family was from England and they were very nice. It was a funny moment, oh yeah, and Ireland wanted me to lean down as we were talking to him, and says...Mommy...can we keep him? It was too funny. Well we just got home from the waterpark and are exhausted and burnt to a crisp. Please everyone..check your expiration dates when you buy sunscreen. We just got this one and few weeks ago, and it was WAY expired. I never thought to check it. I looked at it when I got home, because it's an SPF 50 and I put it on quite often and we are all burned and Lexie never gets burned like that.

This picture is Lexie with her new Kitty...Minnie Mouse

I love the picture with Jenny's little girl! (That is Jenny's little girl, right?)
Why didn't you like Splash Mountain? Have you never been on it before?
I love the Brent lookalike!!! So cute!!!
The sunburns and expired sunblock are awful!!! You poor things!
OHHH!!! What a cute little kitten!!!!
I love kittens, and cats too!

and here is why a new to sewing girl like me should probably take more time and try not to sew a skirt in one night....LOL.....the Tink fabric is upside down!! oh well...my DD loves it so she'll wear it to school tomorrow. but the good thing is that I firgured out how to do a decent hem. I still cant hand gather to save my life, I really need that ruffler foot.....
here is the skirt

The skirt is cute! I wouldn't have noticed the upside down fabric if you hadn't mentioned it. I think we have all done that at one point or another. I did it just the other month with a shirt I made for myself!

CastleCreations, love the photos, LOVE Aladdin (hee hee)
But why don't you like Splash Mountain?
I always thought it was fun. Its also cool, dark and long- a good combo in FL in my book LOL!
Which pool did she swim in?

I had a really awful experience with expired suntan lotion. It was a 30 and I was on Spring Break in high school on Marco Island. I covered the back of my legs, etc with it and layed down on my tummy and took a nap at the beach. Well later that night i was sick. The next day I couldn't walk. I had horrible splotches all over the back of my legs up to my swimsuit line. I had a really awful time of it, and layed in bed on my stomach for about 3 days.
I had the same burn marks for more than a year and thought at one point they might be permenant. They did finally heal.
I remember sitting in class at school and boy behind me complained he didn't want me to scratch anymore because I was peeling and he thought it was gross. LOL!

OOOOUCH!!!!

does anyone have any good animal kind. graphics for an appli. t-shirt for my dd?..Has anyone done a tree of life thing?

Stephanie made a really cute Tree Of Life shirt for Jacob. She did a tree applique then put animal buttons on it. It may be in the Photobucket account.

Lizzie was just going over with me all the towns we can drive to that would have the movie.

Celebration Cinema, Portage Michigan!

Make sure you are typing it in exactly as you did the first time, it's case sensitive.

I did. But it doesnt even recognize my email in the system either. I did it again today and actually got the confrimation email.

It was most likely my computer acting up.

I don't know if it is or not. I appliqued a tree and sewed on animal buttons to make a "tree of life." My son completely designed the shirt.

I sewed something today! I feel like it's been forever since I have been able to. Hopefully Megan will be a modeling mood tomorrow.

I'm glad you got it worked out! It sounds like your registration didn't go through the first time, if it let you sign up with the same email address.

Oh, the project I was working on was a friend's nursery;
she has been having an extremely high risk pregnancy, having to see specialists at least 3 times a week, so between that and her toddler (and other drama out of her control) she couldn't work on the nursery at all. They also really needed to watch their pennies as the economy hasn't been kind to their income.

Well, what's a friend to do?
Fairy Godmothe

r to the rescue: Bibbiti, Bobbiti, Boo!
The grand entrance

The "window wall" actually half a hexagon, but who's counting?

The "banner" I made out of her used room darkening drapes to cover an unused door.

The "piece de resistance", or: the crib!

So we managed to complete the nursery for under $100.
the chaise was from the living room
the furniture was from her son
the murals and crown were from my DD's room (thankfully, I just changed her decor to polka dots)
the crib bedding was $40 on an auction site we all know
the tulle and flowers were from my stash at home
Her husband wanted the room to stay brown and the "banner" to stay white.
So the only other cost was for a couple of accessories on sale at hobby lobby and the embroidery designs.

ETA: we'll move the drapes over the baby's bed, but it looks so pretty that way. and the wrinkles have fallen out of the banner now.

Wow that is so pretty! What a good friend you are!

Love the crown by the way, I don't think I have ever seen one like that.

Thanks; I'm not sure how much of it is the whole good friend thing, and how much is really my insane desire to take control and decorate stuff. anyway, the crown is from bombay kids. I admit it, I actually shed tears when they closed.

Hi everybody!

Just wanted to give a quick update regarding Mom - her surgery was scheduled for today at 1pm, then 8pm, now it's 9:30a tomorrow morning. It seems all of our ICU beds are filled and that's where she needs to go... So, she opted to wait until a bed should be ready rather than being held in recovery for so long. I don't blame her but now it's another night of nail biting... If you could continue to send your good vibes I would appreciate it.

One good thing... i talked with my boss today and she said I could make up the time so I should be good there. Also, next year's convention is in Orlando at Gaylord Palms and I was told we should be going in August - that's something to look forward to.

Thanks for all of your good thoughts, we appreciate them
