Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[lovesdumbo]

Hi Everyone, it has been so long since I posted, but finally have a completed project. This is the outfit I did for Alyssa's Big Give. I did a double layer twirl skirt, an appliqued shirt and a skirt for her bitty baby. I love the skirt, it turned out so cute, I am not an applique expert, makes me want an embroidery machine even more. But I had a lot of fun working on it !!

In this bottom picture you can see the bitty baby skirt I also made. DD had a ball modeling, it is a little big for her, but I love how it turned out.

So cute! I'm sure it will be well loved! Love the bitty baby skirt too!

Has anyone thought of New Years yet!!

Adorable!

I do lots of shopping online, it's better to shop on your seat instead of your feet! lol I always seem to be wrapping Christmas eve too, and every year I swear I won't wait so long next year, but it never happens. I've got a huge bathroom, and with 2 locked doors between me and the kids, that's where I get the job done. DH is there putting together whatever needs it, and the two of us are grumbling the whole time. Santa would fire these elves!

Santa doesn't wrap in our house. I know lots of folks think that opening the gifts is part of the fun but it works out really well for us.

I do end up wrapping every Christmas Eve as well. Which is also when Santa brings the tree So it gets a bit harry to say the least! Big presents from Santa don't get wrapped ( things like bikes, doll houses etc) presents from siblings and the smaller stuff does get wrapped. My boys have each asked for huge items this year, so my wrapping will be a lot easier. Greatest thing though, our neighbors just use their home about 8 weekends a year, so we take the presents to their house and wrap them there. I put them back in the big bags from the stores, and carry them back to our house to put under the tree that Santa brings. Well that is after we fight about where to put the tree, have to tie it up because we can't ever seem to get in in the stupid stand correctly, and then the lights are either tangled or half out, and invariably someone spills the water trying to water the tree, and then there are the "discussions" about "isn't this enough ornaments? How many do we really need to put up on the tree?" and I have 2 huge boxes sitting unopened. Well its a tradition I guess. And traditions can't possibly be bad things can they? Oh and never mind that last year I forgot to buy a Christmas tree until Christmas Eve!!!!!!

but I can't decide what to do about my youngest dd. She wants the twins. We have her birthday in the middle of December plus Christmas. My DH isn't convinced about getting her the twins because her oldest sister has them and he doesn't think they get played with enough. I just don't want her to get the shaft on what she wants. I don't know what to do. Any advice? I just don't want her to be disappointed. But I sometimes wonder if she'd be fine with getting babies from any old store. Ahhh...what to do, what to do?!

Can you talk to her and see how serious she is about having the twins? Is it want because BS has them? I think since her other sib sisters have them, how can you not let her have an AG also? Can you give her one of the twins for her Bday, and then the other for Xmas?

I don't want to say this too loudly, but I think I may be done with sewing for our trip, or at least I am done until someone posts something else that I need to make. I embroidered Gray some polos yesterday. And I made each of the kids a crayon rollup and a pencil rollup this morning. I left my camera at mil's this weekend, so I can't post pictures just yet.

The only thing on my list that I haven't made is an outfit for Maddie for the campfire sing-a-long with Chip and Dale. I had thought about decorating some overalls. Does anyone have any easy ideas? Remember my appliquing skills are limited to Mickey heads.

Congrats on being done! I wish I could say that and look at my ticker.

How about Mickey heads using bandana fabric?

I don't have time to go back and look through all the posts I missed but I wanted to let everyone know that I had the baby last week.
Megan Grace was born Friday Nov 20 at 4:22 am - 8 pounds 13 ounces and 23 inches. We are home and doing OK. Lauren is less than pleased right now but I am sure she will come around.

Beautiful Baby!! Congratulations!! Sorry to hear Lauren isn't happy to have to share Mommy, but I'm sure she will come around. Just give her lots of hugs and tell her how special she is.

Hi all! I am mostly just a lurker, but I was hoping you all could provide me with some opinions. I made a spur of the moment buy today. I took my brother se270d to see why it couldn't read my amazing box card (the only card I have). To fix it would have been between $200-300 to replace the card reader. You can purchase a new one for $350 so didn't seem like a smart decision to me. So of course I start looking around and end up walking out with a very lightly used (85,000 stitches) Brother Innov-is 1200 for $699. I am almost afraid to be excited because I'm not sure if I made a good decision or not. I NEVER buy anything like this without researching it thoroughly first. I did some Internet searching, but I couldn't find much. It has everything it came with originally, most still wrapped up, and also the double sized hoop where you can do the second desIgn without rehooping. Does anyone have this machine or know anything about it?

Thanks!
Krista

What a beautiful baby! Lauren will come around soon. Abbie didn't like me too much when Gray was born.

What size is your DD? I have a Chip and Dale overall dress you could have, if you're interested. I believe it's a 2T. I may have a pic in photobucket. Lemme go look. . .

OK - pictures -

My daughter wore this to the campfire, also.

What beautiful babies have arrived lately! I have a trick that really helps sibling relationships.

Most of my friends already had 2 (or more)children when I got pregnant with my second. I noticed that a lot of times the baby would crawl over and pick up something belonging to the older child. When the older one took it away, the baby cried......and the mother scolded the older child.

An easier way is to teach the older child to go get one of the baby's toys and hold it up in front of the baby. It is instinct for the baby to drop what they are holding and reach for the "new" toy. If this didn't work, Vince came and let me know that his sister had his toy.

When they got older, if I heard arguing, I just told them that it seemed like they needed a break from each other and they both went to different parts of the house for a while. I tried not to "take sides" (unless there was a real need for intervention), they each had toys that were just theirs as well as some that were for both of them. Most of the time, they did great with each other. If you live with someone, you are going to get aggravated with them once in a while--human nature.

Stepping off my soapbox to say that I haven't been sewing lately, arthritis is having a lot of fun playing with my hands (and other body parts.) I have been reading and loving all that you are making. I have had Carla's pattern and the material to make my daughter a dress since July and haven't done it--she turned 42 in August.....maybe I'll have it done for her 43rd!
