Just thought I'd share....the first Halloween costumes I've made! Courtesy of a pattern by Dainty Designs from YCMT. I'm thinking these may be fun to wear on our next trip to WDW now that pirates are such a big deal. Now off to figure out some Christmas outfits!
The outfits are really cute! You did a great job! Can't wait to see what you do next!
Well it was a fantastic day! Yep!
I actually made it up till 9:30..lol... I seem to rise early and go to bed early these days.. I am sure it is the baby's doing!
Anyways..Jojo is now 6! Where did the time go!
here are some pics of the Costumes and Cake!!!
ok we cut these on Tuesday and in the AZ weather was way too early... lol...

OMGosh, they are so cute! I love the cupcake spider!! The very first time I heard of someone cutting pumpkins a couple of weeks before Halloween really surprised me! We have always had to cut them just a day before halloween or they would be a mildewy mess before halloween!!
How are you feeling? Each time I see you post, I wonder how your pregnancy is going!
My girls love to match eachother too! I have to say, you sound like the best grandma! Those girls are so lucky to have a gma like you who loves them and likes to make so many wonderful things for them. My MIL lives 12-15 minutes away and they never called or anything. They have no idea what my girls even were for Halloween! I just don't understand them.
I have heard that gargling with listerine can help too so that is what I have been doing. Vitamin D is supposed to help find off the flu so we have been taking that as well as so other vitamins.
Great job! Where did you get those red boots? I love them!
Awwww, thanks! I am off to see other grandgirls this week and I hope to make some matching things for them too! I only wish I lived close to my grandkids! The closest ones are 2 hours away! Then the next family is 3 1/2 hours away and then 14 hours away (or 2/1/2 hours by air!) 15 minutes away and I would be there all the time!!
We think my DD was the first in their family to have the flu, but she already gargles 2x's a day with prescription listerine and drinks warm liquids during the day, we think she got off easy! So yeah, gargling for me & some warm drinks and washing my hands. Hopefully, I will not get sick!
Here's my crew. I didn't make any of the costumes this year. Sorry it's so big.
So cute, they look great!
I can not BELIEVE all you guys laughing at my pain!!!
Here, I bare my
um....soul..
to you guys and I get laughter!
At the time it was just about the worst thing that had ever happened to me, but now I also find it hilarious, as do my kids! Little stinkers.
I'm bored this morning, I stayed home from the meeting because I've been coughing so bad. I don't want to risk getting anyone sick. But, I studied and everything and was even thinking of commenting today. I doubt I would have, but thinking about it is a step in the right direction! I get really stupid sounding when it comes to speaking in front of people! Things sound great in my head, but when they come out of my mouth, it sounds more like gobbildygook.
I am sorry if we thought your worst moments were funny. We should have a thread of most embarrassing moments! I know I have a few!!!
I hope your cough gets better soon. And I know the feeling of words not coming out right. In my mind I have great words, but what comes out cracks and sounds very childish!
oh thanks... she is almost 8!! Had told me no more customs for her last week. some kid at school made a comment and now it is over!!!
Awww, that is sad. Mean girls!
Aloha! I'm Melinda, and I have been lurking your thread (on and off) since about February of last year. You all have been a great inspiration to me! I did not sew at that point - but I bought a brother sewing/embroidery machine off of HSN and did not look back. Our first family trip to WDW was in September, and while I did not get the hang of it in time to make customs for that trip, I am on a roll now! Now that I actually have something to show you all, thought I would introduce myself and hang out here a little more. Here are my creations so far...
My first finished dress:
Pirate Outfit:
Brother's Jammie Pants (He was jealous of mommy sewing for sister!)
Day of the Dead Dress: (Yay for CarlaC - best looking thing I have made yet and the directions were so easy to follow!)
Look forward to getting to know you all better and getting some great tips and ideas!
Melinda
Welcome Melinda!! You are doing a GREAT job so far! We look forward to seeing more and getting to know you better!
My DD as a dalmation
and my DS as Harry Potter
Very Cute! I love seeing all the little ones in their halloween costumes!
My Dearest Teresa,
I hope that you have noticed my silence on the matter so lightly touched on by you in the above quote. A crack has developed in my heart for you as I read of the insensitive comments made by some people on this thread. Please know my friend, that I did not, have not, nor will I ever laugh at your expense, or expose you to such cruelty, but, instead, support you from the bottom of my heart.
Always remember Teresa- I am here for you!
Lots of hugs,
Karen
Hey Karen, good to see you and I miss you!
to our thread Melinda!!! I'm so glad you came out of lurkdome!
Yay!
