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!).
Try stopping in guest realtions to see if they can help.
Excuse me, but you are forbidden to post a statement about making your own wedding gown without posting a picture of it.

I stumbled on this in my insomnia and thought I'd post it here in case you are like me, and other than a few trip reports really only visit the Disbou thread!
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![]()
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?

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.
Your son is very creative and it is very nice.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.
You are a very good friend and very talented at decorating. It is just a dream come true kind of room.Oh, the project I was working on was a friend's nursery;

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![]()

How did I miss Megan and scrappy? I am sorry. she is just too cute and the dress is adorable. Super job.We are ready for back to school! Megan picked out this fabric, it is quite loud. I used the Katrin pattern, which is German and I couldn't figure out the size! Looking at the measurements, she was one size by the chest measurement, one size by the waist measurement and one size by the hip measurement! I picked one and it fits her exactly, good thing I prewashed. The pattern was so easy and making the bias tape took a lot longer than finishing the top. The leggings were $3.50 at Target: score!

Very cool! I don't think it looks too loud at all, it's adorable; I admit, I'm afraid of any german pattern I can't find a tutorial forWe are ready for back to school!

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.
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.

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
