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

[Tykatmadismomma]

I am such a bad Mommy Kaitlyns birthday has snuck up on me and I have no clue what to do for her. We are thinking of going to Stone Mountain, or the mountains. Plus I am going to surprise her with a new top that I still have to make her. I thinks she would look best in the funky flower print on the left with the pink as contrast.

Here are my Punk girls Monday.

Miss K was being really goofy

Okay I hope you don't mind but I thought I would share a few pictures of my little guy from the beginning.....

(Here he is, barely a week old)

(two weeks old here)

(this was his 1st Valentine's Day photo shoot...not quite 2 months here)

And here he is on the day of his adoption, .....hehehehe

OH BETH! He is just beautiful!!! I love his little suit!! So cute!!! I'm just so happy for you!!! I know how much you went through and I'm just SO glad it turned out the way it should!

Again, not caught it by any means, but wanted to update you all on my DH's hospital adventure. We are now on Day 5. He may come home tomorrow!! He had another CAT scan late last night where they found his organs around where the gall bladder was were all swollen. They put him on heavy duty antibiotics today and said he may be going home tomorrow. But late this afternoon, he got really sick again and his fever shot back up. Hopefully this is something they expected and he will still be able to come home tomorrow.

If only I hadn't left my laptop at my DD's house. If I had it I would be all caught up from all the hours sitting in his hospital room! I am looking forward to catching up on all I have missed.

Again, thanks for everyone's prayers and well wishes. They really mean a lot to me.

The quilt fabrics look pretty Karen! Let me know when you are done with it and I'll come over to stay in your guest room!

And, I think your desk looks great, I liked the cartridges on the wall!

You can come over ANYTIME! that room is just gonna be waiting for a visitor! Bring Heather too- we'll just have a girls night!

Thanks for keeping us informed of how he's doing. I've beent thinking about you and your DH and wondering how everything is going. You're still in my prayers!

Just like Christmas morning isn't it?!?!? We'll need pics when it arrives.... the whole unveiling thing!

I'm going to have some fun this evening. I'm meeting a friend at a gardening place in a little town not to far from here. It's a beautiful farm that they have made into a picturesque (like in- YOU NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THERE- my yard MUST look like this too!) garden/gift place. I'm so excited.! I know.... doesn't sound too exciting does it? So- I'm gonna take pics of the place and post them for you to see. After I do, I know that more then Teresa will be coming to stay in my guest room!

Here are a couple pics from their website:

WooHoo!! I have sewing machine envy! Will you post photos? I think someone should take a pic of you opening your new machine when you get home!!!


MouseTripper, I aboslutely love the photos! I cant decide which I like better the black and white or the color one just below....

HEY T! THIS is a shout out to see more photos of your Vi!

Ok, I'm totally breaking out of lurkdom (where I greatly enjoy seeing all your creations - I've even started to sew!!) in the hopes that I can help.

The twirl skirt that I'm currently working on uses something that seems to fit with what you're looking for. Instead of having to hem the final tier, the piece is cut twice as wide as desired, then folded/ ironed in half (wrong sides together). Then the raw edge is gathered as usual onto the previous tier, leaving a finished edge at the bottom.

My bottom tier is 3" finished, with a 1/2 " seam allowance. So instead of cutting it 4", I cut it 7" and folded it in half.

I hope that this is what you're looking for - sorry if I totally misunderstood!

Erica

That is it. I wonder if I can pass that through my ruffler. I guess I better stitch it together 1st.

 

[JUJU814]

Adorable creations everyone!!!

I think I've finally been able to scroll through this entire thread. I cannot believe how long it's gotten since I posted last.

Everything you've all made is still AMAZING!!!

I made it through my bizarre flu. The baby shower I was supposed to host got moved to another house because no one wanted to be near me. LOL My friend and her family has come and gone. Oh fun fun fun having houseguests for a week! That was tough..she is a dear friend but very critical of me.

As soon as they left I had a day to regroup and had to head to Cape Cod where I am now caring for my nana while mom is away. We go home Thursday, and have Friday to pack and are leaving Saturday for DISNEY!

I sure wish I had more time to sew. I'm dying to make CarlaC's Meghan top..but I just don't think I could do it in a day as I need to figure out the fit.

We got two princess sundresses from the amazing Shannon and I'm going to try to post pics of Emily in them when I get home. I was waiting to post them till she got back from Disney as I wanted her to see.

Our nanny, Mara, keeps teasing me that I need a big suitcase just for Emily's dresses. LOL

I am so sorry that you guys have been going through this. Wow! I can't believe what a horrible mess this surgery has turned into. It sounds like you are staying very positive. Will continue to keep you guys in my prayers!

I have been lurking since Part 15 and finally decided to post. I'm loving all of the outfits!! I'm in awe of all the talented people here! We're going to Disney World in December so I've been making a few simple dresses for my DD. My camera fell off my pantry shelf last week and the lens broke so I can't take pictures of the dresses yet...it's a dslr camera so my DH wasn't too happy with me after finding out how much it will cost to replace the lens! Once I get the lens replaced, I'll post pictures.

I'm also an adoptive mom. My DD is 3.5 years and my DS is almost 8 months. We're still waiting to finalize his adoption, because his birthdad is refusing to sign the paperwork. When my DD was born, some friends of mine threw me a shower, but only 2 people (besides the hostesses) showed up. No one bothered to give us a shower when DS arrived (we brought him home Christmas morning so that was enough of a gift for us! ). Our neighborhood arranges meals for families with newborns, but they didn't do it for us. And, I've had my fair share of negative comments from friends and family. It really stinks and I'm so sorry that others have had to face the negatives of adoption as well. For the most part, we've had a lot of support, but the negative comments/behavior tend to sting and aren't easily forgotten. I know that I am truly blessed to have my kids in my life!!!

When we go to Disney in Dec., I'll be celebrating my 2 year anniversary since having a kidney transplant. I'm trying to decide if I should create a t-shirt to share my celebration or just skip it (maybe a kidney shaped Mickey head LOL!).

 

[NiniMorris]

My two littlest are mixed race...my hubby is from a small town in the Ozarks...where 99.99% of the people are the same race. Hubby was in the military before he EVER saw another race!

The first time we took the kids there we were worried...big time! We did have one slightly uncomfortable time on the trip...we stopped at a Mickey D's for lunch...my daughter (probably about 3 at the time) asked why everyone was starring at her...wanted to know if she had done something wrong... my oldest son (in his 20's) stood up and said VERY loudly, that it was because no one had ever seen such a beautiful little girl in their life and he was very proud to have her as his little sister!

The in-laws gave us a couple of stares at first, but after a few minutes of getting to know them, you would have thought everyone had known each other from birth!

Hubby had prepared all the in-laws ahead of time and warned them that treating them as anything other than our children was not going to be tolerated...so we had no problems.

We were very lucky in that respect. My side of the family are biologically related (to the kids I mean!)...so there was never too much of a problem on that side...I'm afraid if we had had problems like some of you, I would not have been so NICE about it...I am a mama bear where my kids are concerned...there may be bloodshed!!!

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

Elisa..I am so glad that I finally had the courage to ask if you were from the disboards! I really didn't want to embarrass myself in case I got the wrong person, but I don't think anyone can mistaken Ireland in her pretty bows, and custom dress!! My dd loves her dress!

What a great pictures with "Brent"..does he know that he is now famous! LOL

The kitty is really cute!

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Wow..so many pages, so many great things posted while we were away! It was a great two weeks vacation and we got to meet three disboutiquers!!! I have to get some pictures uploaded...and maybe start a trip report! I have never done one before but have always enjoyed reading others' trip report.

I am ready to leave as set 7:30 am since it is hours to Pocatello but my mom called and said she can't find 1 of her dogs. Mom was suppose to watch DS for me today.

I am going to pack up DS and we are going over to help but with the national forest behind her house and thousands of acres of farm land all around, her beloved dog could be anywhere.

Mom has 2 black shepards and 4 dauchaunds. It was the 1 of the shepards and a dog I like very much.

Until we find the dog I am not going and it just may have to be next Monday before I get the machine.

 

[livndisney]

Beth, LOVE the pictures!!!!! How cute is he!!!!!

Prayers for all those in need.


On the race issue- I get what you are saying. My family is from a little town called (get this) White lake. Sooooo change is not something they were prepared for LOL (But hey someone has to shake things up every 100 years or so!). But since I adopted, my cousin is fostering a child of another race, another cousin Married a boy from another country. So we are slowly making progress LOL. (My dad still can't order mexican food , but he will eat it!)

And to ANYONE who thinks I am "wonderful" for adopting.........

Come on people! You have MET me-you KNOW better
My reasons for adopting were/are my own. I wanted a child. I didn't do it for financial reasons or to be part of a "trend" (where everyone has one-yess I have heard people say that). I wanted a child. I knew the minute I saw her picture that THIS was the child. (ok I knew but I was scared and tried to talk myself out of it LOL). But the first time I saw that little face in person........

And if you ask Morgan, she will tell SHE adopted us.

(For anyone who has not met me-yes I do try and have a sense of humor when it comes to adoption. But I am Momma bear if I think for one second you are being negative or nosy. I have shut down total strangers and family members with my mouth. I have only been truly hurt by comments once and that was earlier this year. And I walked away from the situation, because Morgan was standing right there and heard and saw the whole thing.
The whole thing was totally unexpected.

For anyone who has not met Morgan-what are you waiting for?
TeresaJoy, Heather Sue and Kristine tell me ALL the time what an "angel" she is. Guess I should email them the video LOL

I am such a bad Mommy Kaitlyns birthday has snuck up on me and I have no clue what to do for her. We are thinking of going to Stone Mountain, or the mountains. Plus I am going to surprise her with a new top that I still have to make her. I thinks she would look best in the funky flower print on the left with the pink as contrast.

Here are my Punk girls Monday.

Miss K was being really goofy

Gosh the girls are really growing up; they look wonderful, and I love your fabric choice.

Again, not caught it by any means, but wanted to update you all on my DH's hospital adventure. We are now on Day 5. He may come home tomorrow!! He had another CAT scan late last night where they found his organs around where the gall bladder was were all swollen. They put him on heavy duty antibiotics today and said he may be going home tomorrow. But late this afternoon, he got really sick again and his fever shot back up. Hopefully this is something they expected and he will still be able to come home tomorrow.

If only I hadn't left my laptop at my DD's house. If I had it I would be all caught up from all the hours sitting in his hospital room! I am looking forward to catching up on all I have missed.

Again, thanks for everyone's prayers and well wishes. They really mean a lot to me.

Oh dear; this must be very scary for both of you. I'm continuing to pray, and impressed that you're remaining positive.

It's 3:41 in the am and I woke up because I am so excited to go and get my new machine!

can't wait to see pics!

That is it. I wonder if I can pass that through my ruffler. I guess I better stitch it together 1st.

It will go through your ruffler fine, I think. Mine will do the two layers together w/ no problem. I just press, I don't iron first (and I cheat, because I press right side out)

Adorable creations everyone!!!

So glad you're feeling better and past the negativie friend visit. Enjoy the time with your nana, and know that if you really want to make the top, one day is probably fine; but if you decide not to, you've gotten plenty done. Don't forget to take lots of pics to share.

Hi!!! So glad you posted, sorry about the camera (ouch)_ I think it would be fun to celebrate your anniversary. You could always make a "tale of two kidneys" shirt tooa although I really like the kidney shape mickey head, too.
