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

[jessica52877]

Yes, I tried it on him when I finished the rest last week. It hangs fine, in fact I was going to have him wear it open for the pic- you don't think it would look "funny" without the buttons? Thanks so much, I'm starting to feel like it might be ok.

It will be fine! I bet it is really cute! Can't wait to see pictures!

I have been in a whirlwind since we arrived home. I haven't had time to catch up here, but I am sure some beautiful things have been posted. I am going to try to catch up soon. I thought I would post a few pictures from our trip. I have a bunch, so I will try to control myelf

two of my favorite pictures.
I have a few more that I want to share. I will post some more in a few minutes.

I am being lazy and deleted most of the pictures out of the post but your outfits were just darling! Your daughters are beautiful! I LOVE the last picture of your oldest!

Don't know how many of you are in the NE, but here on Long Island we are having a BLIZZARD!! The snow just started and they are predicting 12-18" with up to 50mph winds. That is alot of snow for where we are, my dd is soooo excited

 

[teresajoy]

These are FABULOUS! It sounds heavenly and I'm glad you got to do it!

Were you ears burning while we were gone??? We were talking about you while we were chasing Tiana down trying to get pictures of the dress!

My niece came over and she wiggled it until Grace's head popped through it. Yeah!! Now we are back in business. Thanks so much for your suggestion. My SIL actually suggested the same thing. I think that may have worked. Thanks again. Merry Christmas.

I am just crackying up at the picture in my mind of your poor daughter stuck in the shirt until your niece came over! I'm glad you could get it on her.

Sometimes you guys just plain ol' surprise me that you remmeber me even when I don't post. Thanks for thinking about me.

The hard part of the quilt is done- the easy part not, but I have been thinking about finishing it before I start my next one - which is a step in the right drection- right? I did want to get it done for Christmas, but it's not there yet.

Did I tell you that my son Josh got engaged this week??

I thought of you yesterday while I was at Walmart. The Cricut Expresion was on clearance. I don't even want one, but whenever I see them, I look, just because you love them so much!

Congratulations on your son!!!!!! How exciting!

How fun!!! I love the dress in the sewing machine picture! They are all great, but that is so cute!!! And, your kids are so adorable! They have the most beautiful eyes!!

And one more thing, thank you so much for posting such nice sized pictures!!!!! I love it when I don't have to squint to see what the picture is!

Oh, OT, but I'm excited, so had to share: My dad moved in with us last week, so we are now a family of six. We looked into changing our ressie to two rooms, but even at a mod, it was over $4000 for the 8 nights Many thanks to fellow disboutiquer Kathy(I think, I can't find the TR right now to confirm) who has been sharing her TR. I remembered that she stayed in a house at Windsor Hills and loved it. We just booked a three bed, three bath house w/ small pool for $875 for the 8 nights- Thanks for the tip!

We always rent a house when we go down with our big family group. It is so much nicer than trying to cram into hotel rooms, and cheaper too! Have fun!

I just figured out how to add a name to my embroidery design, yay me! lol Now I want to get the Disney font for my collection...any suggestions as to the best place to get this. PM is ok if you cant say here.

Heather and Teresa, you look like you had a great time! Some of my best trips are without the kids. I've got a friend who comes to WDW solo, and I always try to spend a day there with her. It's fun, and I always get to eat at different places my family won't eat at.

 

[ireland_nicole]

I know I posted pics of DD's santa outfit already, but if you'll indulge me, here's one of everyone's matching attire; DD, DS and of course, Kit. A friend from a ribbon coop made the matching headbands.

ETA: I had really cute matching turtlenecks, but a warm front came through, and after being in the 40's yesterday, it's going to hit over 70 today, so I had to drop back and punt on the shirts.

 

[desparatelydisney]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!

First of all, this beautiful dress wasn't made by me. Thank you Lori. Maddie LOVES her chipmunk dress.

My beautiful girls met the fairies. Gray didn't want to stand in line for 45 minutes.

The famous sewing machine

I had to add this one. Gray needed a haircut, so he got one at Disneyworld. He received lots of attention on this day.

This was at the backyard bbq. Goofy kept coming up to Maddie wanting to dance. She danced all night. This may have been her favorite time.

I have a few more that I want to share. I will post some more in a few minutes.

Oh my goodness! Maddie looks so cute in the Chip & Dale! I'm so excited that it fit and that another princess could get some use from it! And, I have to say a big thank you for the post card you sent! My kids were over the moon to get a post card from WDW!

All of your customs were beautiful and you have a gorgeous family!

 

[froggy33]

I saw your daughter at HS on Tuesday! Your mother-in-law (I think) was with her near the hat. I stopped and asked her if she was on Disboards. She said she you were! Too too cute!! She was super precious in person. Great job on all of the customs!

Thanks! That was my mom. I think I remember her telling me someone talked to her! She had baby duty while we were riding!

Jessica, Loved your mini trip report!! What a lucky little girl to have such beautiful customs! I really liked the small world outfit and the one with steam boat willie on it. This picture of you guys is too cute. You are cute too.. i wish I could pull that outfit off!

Thank you! Shoe does indeed look exactly like me! I love that hat! I got it there in Disney. It as three buttons in the shape of a mickey head and one of the buttons has his sillouhette (sp?). I just love hats - but not my ears so they have to be covered up!

So cute!! Love all the customs! How old is your daughter exactly?? She looks like she did really well and enjoyed herself. I am thinking about planning our next trip when our daughter is jsut shy of 3 (still free!!), and am just curious how it will be different! Thanks!

OMG...they are adorable (and the outfits too!). I love the matching doll dress too...what a cute idea.

 

[Tweevil]

Hi Everyone!

Love, Love, Love all the customs! They are all so cute!

Teresa & Heather - congrats on your trip! Great pics!

And... I feel a lot better today. Terrific day to go shopping for the 2 hams and presents I need for work on Monday. NOT! The blizzard here is making that impossible so now I feel better but am fretting not getting the hams... Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to drive.

(Did I mention that the oil company screwed up my tank contents when they were delivering and at 9p last night I had someone here fixing it? Of course it wasn't them so I had to pay - budget buster for sure--- $200 and said I need a *new* heating system soon... there's goes my trip to DW I think. ugh)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day where ever you are.

 

[busy mommy]

Thanks for all the compliments. You all know how to make a girl feel great.

How old is your daughter exactly?? She looks like she did really well and enjoyed herself. I am thinking about planning our next trip when our daughter is jsut shy of 3 (still free!!), and am just curious how it will be different! Thanks!

I had to go back and find your pictures to see your little one. She is precious! How did you get back on here so quickly after the trip? I still feel hungover I wish we could have met. Maddie will be three on January 31st. She had a ball. She loved all of the characters and would run to hug them. I had a hard time keeping up with her. She normally is shy around strangers, but she took right up with all of the characters. She got sick while we were there, and I had to have her pediatrician call her in an antibiotic. So one day she slept almost the entire day in her stroller. I think it was Thursday when it was so cold and windy. The rest of the week she didn't even have a nap and stayed up late and did great. Next time we go, I'll have to pay her way. That was our last freebie for her!

Thanks! Well, I got right back into things when I got back - I had to sew a dress for a neighbor who left for Disney the next day! Plus, I really should be writing my dissertation, but I am a wonderful procrastinator! My daughter did really good, but she ended up sleeping at random times (although she did so great at night) and she liked the characters, but didn't rush to them or anything. I loved it, but I do look forward to when she's a bit older! My daughter started to cut a molar on Wednesday and even though she was so good about it, she did sleep a lot more. So she didn't get to see much of Magic Kingdom.

 

[mom2rtk]

Were you ears burning while we were gone??? We were talking about you while we were chasing Tiana down trying to get pictures of the dress!

Well, I can't say they were burning. Or maybe they WERE burning but I was just too insanely behind to notice the flames shooting from my head!

I'd love to see any other photos you have of it. I fall in love with it more and more every time I see it..... Every time I meet one of the princesses, I feel like I should have them turn around and let me inspect the gowns in detail. But you don't suppose they would find that a bit "odd" do you????

I think mostly I'm ignoring it because I know that even if I made a great copy, I'd never get there before she's gone for good!

I guess I could make one for Katie to wear to the movie next week, but I'm kind of thinking that might be overkill!

Anyway.... I'm glad you saw her. And I'm glad you got to have a nice sister's getaway!

 

[karebear1]

Of course we remember your smiling friendly face! I know you are always reading!

I can't wait to see a picture of it. I am so bad about starting something else before my first is done. I need to work on that!

Congrats to your son! That is so exciting!!

I'll post a pic IF I ever get it done! I'm so tempted to start the other one! It's gonna be adorable when it's finished and it will have hand embroidered work on it as well. I'm making that one for a friend. It's kind of a gratitude quilt- spotlighting all the things (emotional, spiritual etc.) she's helped me grow comfortably into.

CONGRATS to your son! That's great!

YAY JOSH!! Are you excited? When are they getting married?

Karen: Congrats on Josh's big announcement! Have they set a date yet?

I thought of you yesterday while I was at Walmart. The Cricut Expresion was on clearance. I don't even want one, but whenever I see them, I look, just because you love them so much!

Congratulations on your son!!!!!! How exciting!

Well..... hold onto your hats girls....... they set the date for March 27, 2010! Just didn't want to wait any longer and that is Easter break so a good time for a honeymoon. They're so excited. I didn't think I'd ever see the day when Josh would get married. He actually had sworn off girls, but when he met this one, it was immediate...... head over heels, and they've been smitten with each other ever since. She's an awesome young woman- really, really good for Josh and gives it back as well as he gives it out. they are very fun to watch together. It does this mom's heart good to see her only son in love- and with someone that is such a sweetheart.

Teresa- I can't believe you saw a cricut on clearance! What was the price?

Sure wish I could've gone on the sisters trip- sounds and looks like you both had a great time!

Oh, OT, but I'm excited, so had to share: My dad moved in with us last week, so we are now a family of six.

Sounds like you got a screamin' deal on that condo! Have a great time!!

Woo Hoo! It is not even Christmas Eve and I have just gotten back from getting my very LAST Christmas Gift! I am excited! Now, just have to finish wrapping them all, and finish up on the window treatment for my DIL...and of course get the house clean before my little DGD comes over to visit while her Mommy and Daddy are visiting with Helen's mommy and daddy at the Shepherd Spinal Center.

Then starting tomorrow, after church services, I start with all the cooking and baking that I should be half way finished with by now! But, I WILL get it all done...I always do!


To everyone who got snow instead of rain from this little blip in the weather...stay warm! Me...I'm putting in the dvd of the fireplace with Christmas Music on it! One of these days I will get me a fireplace again...
Nini

Congrats on finishing your shopping- sounds like you have a lot to do, but I LOVE your enthusiam! It's contagious and just what I need right now. I have all my kids and my grandson coming home for Christmas and it's kind of overwhelming me. Usually I ADORE Christmas, but this year it's been hard to get in the mood, but your post sure helped! THANKS!!!

UMMMM... what's overkill? No such thing! (but she may not want to eat a hot dog or nachos in the dress - THAT may be overkill!)

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that is disecting garments in my brain when I look at them! It's a sickness, I tell you!

WOW! hold onto your hats is right! It sounds like you're all gonna have a busy time in the next few months trying to get everything together! Enjoy!

Enjoying all of the pics and creations!!! We got snow today!!! I can't remember the last time we got snow before Christmas~ had a fabulous day.....

Congrats to your son! My DH and I married quickly too... both of us thought we might not ever find the right person (after too many wrong ones) but once we found each other (at work) we knew it was supposed to be. We met in September, were engaged before Valentine's Day, and married before the end of June. Hard to believe we've been married 8+ years!

Congrats to Josh on his engagement!

Wow...flip the months around a bit...and that's me and my DH. We met in June...got engaged before Valentine's Day (he got deployed to Kuwait for 6 months on Valentine's Day of all days)...and got married on September 1st. We're 2 years married and counting.

 

[karamat]

We've been home a week and I finally feel like we're back to our usual routine. I hope to get a little trip report up on my blog... maybe after the holidays! In the meantime here are some pictures from our trip:

Day 1 in Epcot:

We got to meet Alice:

And Marie:

Then a quick wardrobe change before dinner with the princesses:

Day 2 we started in Animal Kingdom:

And then went to Magic Kingdom for some ears and dinner at Crystal Palace:

Day 3 we started in Epcot for EMH:

And then went back to Magic Kingdom:

Day 4 we hit Magic Kingdom again:

We also got to see Princess Tiana... hopefully the photopass pictures will be good... we gave our point-and-shoot camera to the handler but they came back blurry.
