Thank you for praying for Henry. I know it's hard for people to understand how hard it is for the officer on the scene when something like that happens.

It is a thankless job! I get so tired of hearing people say that they don't like cops. How could you not like the people that are out there to protect you? They are people, not just uniforms! I think it's because you almost always hear negative stories on the news and never hear the wonderful things they do on a daily basis. Plus, most of them don't get paid squat to put their life on the line every day!

Tell Henry thank you for me for being a police man. I have tremendous respect for officiers. My cousin in a police officier. I feel they are under paid they put their lives on the line everyday. They are true heros in my book and always will be so give him a hug and thank him for me.

I really don't remember the brand name...but I got it at Joann's. I remember they had several different brands. My DIL got hers at WalMart...they were more of a paint marker for fabric than a fabric marker. They didn't have a 'smooth' line. I bought a pack of 4 or 5 different colors. I'll see if I can still find them...we won't talk about what happened to them when we got back....'someone' thought they were just regular markers and let the kids play with them.....(let's just say that 'someone' was very upset when I made HIM do the laundry for a while!)

Nini

That is hilarious!! Thanks! I'll take a look at JoAnns (and I am running by hobby lobby). The WalMart ones are more of a brush and yah, don't make a very good line.

Thanks for everyone who prayed for Grace's surgery. We got home this morning. The surgery went well. She did bleed a little bit but it was easily stopped. She is in pain now and had a rough night. We got no sleep because she spit out most of her pain medicine and we didn't know how much she swallowed so we had to wait to give her more. He pain got out of control and she cried off and on all night. They let us come home this morning. She finally slept and let me sleep when we came home. I have pain med in cream form to rub on her wrists so that is what I used today. I don't know why the hospital didn't have that last night it would have saved her alot of unnecessary pain. She was excited to wear her Little Mermaid hospital gown I made her. I didn't post pictures because it wasn't too cute. I need to get my hands on a real one and take it apart and make my own pattern. I don't need one now and hopefully never will but I thought it would be nice to make a Christmas or snowman one and cute ones to donate to the Children's hospital. It would cheer up a sick child. Even disney ones. They aren't hard to make you just need a good pattern and the only online one I could find the arms were to small. Maybe one of the smart ladies on this site could figure out how to redo the online one. I am just so glad to be home the hospital is just so scary for Grace and most kids. It breaks my heart to think of the kids who have to go there for cancer on a regular basis. Thanks again for all the prayers.

Please take a moment to hug each of your precious children! My son's preschool teacher called a little while ago to tell me that one of his classmate's moms died in her sleep. Her sweet little boy is the one who found her. When her school called to see why she was late for work, Carson answered the phone and told the caller he couldn't wake up his mom.

The little boy is at preschool right now so he can have a sense of normalcy. His mom and dad divorced last year. Now he has lost his mom at the age of 5. Please keep this family in your prayers.

I will be praying for this little boy. This is so sad.

I'm sorry Grace was in so much pain last night. I will pray that she will heel quickly and have no more problems.

I can't believe it. Our camper is packed. Now all I have to do is our travel bags, snack bags, coolers, and something else that I can't remember right now. Hopefully, I will remember soon.

Glad to hear everything went (mostly) okay. Hope her pain stays under control!

I love it all! But Tiana is my favorite. You must do a Tutorial for us!!

Does anyone know what the dimensions should be? It is going to be a cheery red and black with Lady Bugs... she and my daughter were in the same sorority and their mascot was lady bugs.

I want to do an encouragement quilt later. Everyone will write their words of encouragement on squares and we will use those to make a quilt (see...the autograph quilt comes in handy for other things too!) But right now I want to make something quick and uplifting.

Suggestions? Ideas?

Thanks...

Nini

I like both ideas. I came across this:

3. Quilted Lap Robe: The lap robe measures 33 ½ by 24 inches because Margene, who wrote asking for directions, had fabric sample pages measuring 17 by 24 inches.

Normally, wheelchair lap robes are between 34 and 36 inches long.

http://the-artful-crafter.blogspot.com/2009/10/repurposing-fabric-sample-book-pages.html

Maybe the measurements will help.

She was excited to wear her Little Mermaid hospital gown I made her. I didn't post pictures because it wasn't too cute. I need to get my hands on a real one and take it apart and make my own pattern. I don't need one now and hopefully never will but I thought it would be nice to make a Christmas or snowman one and cute ones to donate to the Children's hospital. It would cheer up a sick child. Even disney ones.

Glad to hear Grace is on the mend. Sorry she had a rough night. But she'll be driving you crazy before you know it! I love the gown idea. I bet the hospitals will love it. Maybe one of the nurses in the hospital will give you one? You could ask her Dr. to.

I can't believe it. Our camper is packed. Now all I have to do is our travel bags, snack bags, coolers, and something else that I can't remember right now. Hopefully, I will remember soon.

Your caming!!! Are you staying at Wilderness? I so want to stay at the campground there!! It looks like so much fun.

Yes, we will be at Fort Wilderness. We've never stayed there before, so it will be an adventure.

 

[tvgirlmin]

Thank you!! I just saw that in the bookmarks (by the way right now the link doesn't work). I know it's not my tutorial, but I feel really cool that something I did made it in the bookmarks!!



Yeah I am getting CASED!! HA! It was really very simply. I made the bodice with the simply sweet I just did it 2 layers instead of three. The front two were yellow and then the back was green on top and yellow below. I made that attaching the straps and then added the pre made top leaves before I stitched up the sides. For the skirt leaves I just took the waist measurement of the bodice and multiplied by 1.5 (for gather) then I free handed the leaves. Really just the big top two need to equal waist x 1.5 with a little overlap. The rest are stacked. I am sure I made no sense with all that, but good luck!!!!

Froggy - YOU ROCK!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for the directions on how to do the Tiana! I have the itch to run out to the fabric store right now and get some kickin' greens and yellows! I will definitely be making this for Emmy to wear to the movie! Thank you and enjoy your trip to the world - we were just there in September and I am so ready to go back!

Finally got pics of a few things that I made recently.

Bowling Shirt for a little Dinosaur lover:





Tote bag for my brother's girlfriend for Christmas:



PJ's for my Nana for Christmas:



PJ's for my brother Glenn for Christmas:



Tunic for my MIL for Christmas:



Since these are all Christmas presents, please don't tell the intended recipients. (Oh, yeah, I forgot, my IRL friends and my internet friends haven't met yet. )

Tricia - it all looks great, but I am lovin' that bowling shirt! Awesome dinosaur material!!!!

Here is the hula snowman dress - my model was reluctant to have her pic taken, but she loved that dress and threw a hissy fit when I made her take it off before nap...

Thank you to Ireland Nicole (whose recent peek-a-boo skirt pics introduced me to this great skirt) and Tom (whose awesome big give dress inspired me to make it attached to a simply sweet top)! I am so proud of this dress - it was a challenge for my beginner skills but tons of fun to make!

Thanks for pointing that out. Somehow, it didn't have the entire URL bookmarked. It should work now.

Mind if I bookmark your directions too?

Oh my goodness, that is so awful. The poor little boy! Do you know if his Mom had medical problems already? That is just so sad.

I am glad to hear things went well. I hope you are able to keep her pain under control so you can rest tonight. I'm sorry your hospital Gown didn't turn out but hopefully you won't need another one. There is a tutorial here if you want to make some to donate: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/08/27/how-to-make-a-designer-hospital-gown/ I just found this today.

Thank you. The apron is from: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/08/05/childs-apron-tutorial/ My little girl is only 17 months so I shrunk the pattern down to 70% I think, but other wise everything is the same. Very quick!

Thank you for the great link!! They have a lot of great homemade gift ideas there! Oven Mitts, aprons, key fobs, lanyards. I think I may make some of these Lanyards for my children's teachers.

[tricia]

The bowling shirt is just my favorite and I have taken the collar instructions and use them now on commercial patterns. Great work and super presents.

I love it too. I wish Ty was littler so that I could still have years of making them for him.

All cute! Like the tunic! I really want to make one for myself!

I haven't made one for myself yet either. This is my first one. I plan to make one into a dress with Stephres tute for myself in the spring. I already have the fabric and everthing.

Great work!!! That is a cute dino shirt!

Thank you.

Those are great gifts! I promise not to tell them

Thanks.

Awesome dress!!

Thanks for the compliment on the bowling shirt. I had to order the fabric on . It was for a 6 year old boy, and they did not want something too young looking.

Cute stuff!! I love your Dino bowling shirt especially


I love this dress; so, so, so cute!!! Awesome job!

Thank you.



So, this morning when I gave the shirt to the grandmother who ordered it she just LOVED it. Makes me feel so good when someone is that happy with something I made.

Have a great vacation! Two weeks for us!


TVgirlmom. I love the snowman dress. It's too cute!

 

[billwendy]

I know I said no more updates, but this one is sewing related. I promise!

Kristy (mom) is about to undergo her back surgery. I am going to make her a lap robe (quilt) to use during her recovery. I have never made a lap robe and I am not sure of the dimensions.

Does anyone know what the dimensions should be? It is going to be a cheery red and black with Lady Bugs... she and my daughter were in the same sorority and their mascot was lady bugs.

I want to do an encouragement quilt later. Everyone will write their words of encouragement on squares and we will use those to make a quilt (see...the autograph quilt comes in handy for other things too!) But right now I want to make something quick and uplifting.

Hi Nini - I made Daniel a lap blanket when he first got sick a year ago - the trick is to not have it too wide or it can get stuck in the wheels, or too long so its not always dragging on the floor, you know? maybe try sitting in a chair yourself, and seeing what would be comfortable. The one I made for Daniel was pretty narrow because he was sitting in a 14 wide wheelchair, and most adult wheelchairs are about 18 wide. Will keep praying for Kristy and her husband too!!

Praying for Grace! Glad she is home and hoping she is starting to feel better!

Prayers for the little preschool boy too - ugh poor kiddo - I cant imagine....

I made these little snowy truck pants for Tim tonight to kinda match this truck shirt I got on clearance last year!!

My serger is really being a pain!! I will be sewing along, and then all of the sudden the threads dont hook together anymore. I checked the threading, and a few times 1 of the threads wasnt right - so I fixed it, but then it all happens again? Its the Singer from Walmart - any ideas???? I have a LOT of sewing to do this weekend!!!!

Have a great vacation! Two weeks for us!

Hey you will be there the same time we are. We arrive on the 18th and leave on the 23rd. We are staying at a condo at Windsor Hills.

 

[GoofyG]

I hate to post this, there has been so much sad news. BUt this little boy could use prayers also. DS came home with a letter from the director at his Mothers Day Out. They have a 4yr old little boy that was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Nueroblastoma. I can't imagined being told my child has cancer. If you could add him to your list of prayer too, that would be great.

On a good note, LOVE all of the outfits being made. We leave in 2wks and I haven't been in a mood to decorate for Christmas. Tonight I finally cleaned an area out and HOPE to have the tree up tomorrow~

I've been meaning to tell you mom. I saw their ticker and realized we were there the same time.
