Last post I promise. I made shirts for DS classroom.

What a great idea! It looks like you have a different picture on every shirt??!? That must have been very time consuming... yet very rewarding!

This is adorable! I just love it! I know they all appreciated it too!

WOW April!!! That is so sweet of you to do that for them!! It must have taken you a long time to do that! They're all so cute!

I was having fun with my machine and combined a mickey head with a holly leaf.

I can't see these pictures. Did you move them or rename them after you posted?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I don't know if I moved them or not??? Most likely yes.

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

That is a really cool shirt!!

MY 2 yr old wrote on my Babylock - LCD screen & all!wiTH A SHARPIE!I got the stuff off the screen using a babywipe but I can't get it off the rest. I tried windex which I knew wouldn't work but I tried anyway. The babywipe actually lightened it but it is not gone. Any ideas?

Sorry but hope that you are able to get it off.

What a great gift..you are so sweet! I am sure they love it!

I don't know if I moved them or not??? Most likely yes.

That turned out really nice! I really like it.

I made my first bowling shirt out of a pillow case. It came out well and I do like the fabric combinations.

Great job on all of this! Love the fabric combo on the shirt and how sweet of you to make shirts for the whole class. Absolutely loving the Christmas towels!

I forgot to quote...but someone asked if I was itching to work on the next project after finishing the binky clip. Oh yes. I bought fleece to make DD a blanket sleeper, but first I'm going to work on a quilt I planned when I was pregnant with her and still in England--just never got a chance to work on it due to not feeling well, then moving back to the US, and then having her. LOL It's Winnie the Pooh themed and I have three red fabrics, three yellow, and three orange, with black binding planned. I'm also going to embroider some white panels with Pooh and Tigger for the quilt and outline them with rickrack. Some of the fabric and the rickrack I bought in Cornwall, so that's the Cornish touch.

I also plan to use some of the leftover yellow and red fabric to make a Pooh bear applique for the sleeper.

So after Christmas I'll be busy cutting fabric out and learning my machine (which we got in England but it never got taken out of the box!) as I piece the quilt together.

Here's what I would do after I got in a real good cry. Call a Babylock dealer and see if the can just replace the plastic screen. You may be without your machine for a month but I bet they can fix it.

Oh and hide all the sharpies in a high dark cabinet!

Heather...This is completely my opinion...so take it with a grain of salt...and as much as I LOVE Disney....I don't think DVC is worth it. It costs a lot in down payment and a lot in fees each year....then you are "stuck". Even my dh was able to convince me its not worth it.

So I pretend Windsor Hills is our DVC...and we can go whenever we want and there are no fees and the cost is really cheap! And there are no obligations! But that's just us! Just sayin!

 

[HeatherSue]

I actually sewed today! Okay, I just put some appliques on ready-made clothes. But, I used my machine for the first time in a couple of weeks! I put my Zhu Zhu Pets designs on a sweatshirt for Tessa and a t-shirt for Sawyer. They don't have any Zhu Zhu pets, but they loved the designs. So, I thought I'd surprise them. I'll try and post pictures of them wearing their new shirts after Christmas.

I don't know if I moved them or not??? Most likely yes.

Those are so cute, April! You're on a roll!

Thanks Cathy! After looking into it, I decided it wasn't worth it to me, either. I'm pretty happy staying at the value resorts (especially at $59/night, or with free dining), so it wouldn't be cost efficient for me. But, it's fun to look!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

HELP PLEASE!!! Embroidery machine dilemma!

Okay, I bought a Brother PE-700II, in part because I knew so many of you had the same machine and liked it. It was in my budget w/great Black Friday deals, and my research led me to believe it would be a good choice for me.

So tonight I opened the outer cardboard shipping box to put the machine under the tree... only to discover the seller gave me a "free upgrade" to a Brother PE-750D machine, without saying a word! What the heck??? This was an Ebay purchase from AllBrands (www.allbrands.com).

Now I'm completely thrown! What do I do? As best I can tell this machine is more expensive... but this isn't the one I researched! I do know it's a "Disney machine" which is somewhat appealing, but... other than that, I'm clueless! In my shoes, would you contact the seller and ask for an exchange to the machine you bought? Or would you be thrilled with the PE-750D and just thank your lucky stars?

Waaaaaah, this really has me spinning... I'm waaaaay too much of a control freak to have something like this happen on a major purchase. The researcher in me is in fits! LOL

Oh, and... Merry Christmas everybody!

ETA: Okay, now I feel really dumb... a quick Google search shows these machines are pretty much identical except the Disney designs included and the capability to use the Disney cards. I'll search more later (when it's not 11:30pm on Christmas Eve, LOL) but I'm calmer now.

<sheepish>

A little girl drew on my DD's dress (a custom I had made for her) with a red Sharpie while coloring a Kidcot mask at Epcot a few weeks ago. I've been using rubbing alcohol on it and most of it's coming out. I'm really hoping the rest comes out!

Merry Christmas!

FINALLY got kids to sleep around 11, just in time for Santa to come by my house. Hubby got home from work at 7am. Christmas was good at our house...except for the Tinkerbelle game for Nintendo DS that was missing the GAME! (I guess we will be going to GameStop tomorrow morning...hope I can find my receipt!)

Have a couple of hours to enjoy the fact that the kids are all in their rooms...probably tearing up their new toys. Hubby is taking a short winter's nap and our guests will arrive around 5pm.

Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas this morning.

OK, take a deep breath, it's ok, I promise. You, my friend, are one lucky duck! The machine they sent is basically the same as the PE700II (which I have) but also has the Disney designs in it, and the ability to use other Brother Disney Designs (which mine doesn't). Trust me, this is a really good thing. I researched both, and the only reason I didn't get the 750D at the time (Summer) was that I couldn't find as good a deal on the 750D. Congratulations- I want pics!!

I was thinking what she said but I don't know much about the newer machines. I know the older ones the only difference was the added disney designs and ability to use the disney cards.

Thanks so much ladies! I feel much better this morning and am laughing at myself for freaking out last night. My husband was in stitches over the whole thing - so very "me" to have a hissy over an upgrade, because it wasn't what I researched. In the end he said "This, my dear wife, is why I will never, ever, ever throw you a surprise party or plan a surprise vacation." He knows me so well - control freak to the hilt.

So, yay! I have an emboridery machine!

 

[ireland_nicole]

Oh believe me, I totally understand; I just happened to research both, and I promise you'll be happy with the "upgrade". Of course, now I really, really NEED at least 6x10 field, so...

It was a very early morning, DS woke up at 5:50 am and it all started. We had a wonderful Christmas but wanted to tell you about the surprise for me. I made everyone jammies, embroidered robes, and gave mom her wall hanging. Kids got toys, Macbooks were given to the teenager. Netbook to the college girl. It was all so wonderful.

After it was said and done, DH handed me a envelope from the tree. It had a poem about no fear, steep and deep, find my present by my gear. I looked up our snowboard wall and there, 4th board down was a brand new Never Summer Lotus Snowboard with my bindings already on. I was in tears. I didn't see this coming at all! I had no idea and it is a beautiful board. I will post pictures later.

Fun is Christmas with a TBI, I didn't remember presents to myself.

It's basically the alchol that will help with marks. Hairspray, baby wipe etc....

We had a very busy day and I have to work tonight...grr...2 of Irelands gifts didn't work. What gives!!! One of the zhu zhu pets didn't work and her glow dome didn't work...she's disappointed. Now I have to go and exchange them..LOL
I hope everyone had a wonderful day with their families...
