Thank you. He asked me months ago to make some for him. When I finally did them, I think he had changed his mind (or maybe he changed his mind WHEN he saw them)...but he wore them anyway!
He sounds like a cool guy! I am seriously impressed with all of the appliques you did! I would have guessed that you did them on an embroidery machine if they weren't so large. You are fantastic at applique!!

We are planning on going back to Maui next year. Which island do you live at?? I'd love any advice on which island to go to. We've only been to Maui and chose it because we heard it was the most romantic and less touristy than the big island. We like to go on vacation just to be alone and be quiet. :)


I'm glad I didn't miss the Hawaii discussion. Why did you guys choose Kauai? I'm wondering now if maybe we should go there instead of Maui. We like quiet and romantic.. is that how you'd describe it?


Thank you! :goodvibes
Oh, you should definitely go to Kauai!!! It is just what you're looking for- quiet, beautiful, and romantic! Did you look at the link I posted? That house was at the base of a mountain that has waterfalls cascading down it!! How much more romantic can you get? The beauty is everywhere!

Oahu was nice, but it was very crowded and touristy. There were some really pretty parts of the island, though. I've never been to Maui or the big island.
 
Hi... I'm more of a lurker here, but LOVE everything you gals (and guy) have been working on!

For those of you who have sergers, what do you have? I'm thinking of buying one for Christmas (well, it'd be a gift from DH). Is it possible to keep it under $300, or am I dreaming? :laughing:

I'm really looking for finished seams and to have the ablility to do rolled hems... I can do that, right? :confused3

Any info is really appreciated!
TIA!
Monica
 
Gorgeous outfits posted, as usual. Loving them all.

I am making a comforter set for my daughter and will post pics when I'm done, but it will probably take me several more days.

I bought a Brother 750D. I really like it, but have hardly used it. I am going to practice on some old towels and then do a monogrammed set for our friends as an anniversary present.

Hope everyone is having a good day.
 
Glad your kitty is okay!

Thank you. He is not moving very well today, but I guess that is to be expected when you weigh 7 pounds and get hit by a 2 ton SUV!

Hi all! I have not been around in a while because I have decided to stay sick forever!!!!

I love all of your costumes! They look great!:goodvibes

Wanted to share my babies too...

The force was strong in my house this year for sure!:lmao:

ETA - in case you can't tell...Timmy is a Jawa...(Luke bought the droids from the Jawa's)...Patrick is Luke and Katie is Leia
I'm sorry you've been sick!!!

Your kids look so cute !
Do they call that a five finger discount if you don't actually steal them?
I like to call it the "Big Sister Discount" ;)

AS most know our DS has autism which means life is different for us. For some unknown reason he really wanted a tinkerbell mickey shirt. I told him tink is a girl and mickey is boy, they don't mix. That just doesn't work with autism.

So with much help from digitalbydesign, we want to present you with TinkerMickey

Mom with the first thing on the new machine. She did so good with her torn shoulder holding up her shirt.

I love the Mickey as Tink!!!
And, your Mom looks so cute!

I am trying VERY VERY hard to not have hoop envy! You are not making it easy!!!
I must repeat...
4x4 is fine
4x4 is fine
4x4 is fine.....

The Fox and the Hound overalls are my favorite! Just adorable!!! Teresa was right, that was my favorite record. My favorite lines were "And we'll always be friends forever, won't we? Yeah, forever" and "He fell to river below." :rotfl:
I think you wore those parts of the record out!

Okay, I'll share an incredibly embarrassing moment, but wedge it into a multiquote in the hopes that no one will read it. When I was in 9th grade, we were doing "v" sit ups in gym class. Well...hmmm....how do I put this delicately....I may have passed a little gas. Then, I may have turned around and blamed it on the cute boy behind me. He was so sweet, he took the blame for me. :rotfl2::lmao::rotfl:

Oh, I don't THINK SO little missy!!! We see it!!! :rotfl2:
That is VERY embarassing!

Oh no!! It sounds like you'll be missing the wedding! This flu is contagious for at least a week, from what I understand!

Yes, that's what the doctor told us about Casey too. She had to stay home for a week and then she had to be fever free for at least 48 hours before going out.

You know, Teresa may just get cold enough this winter to snuggle up with a sock monkey quilt!
I hate being cold more than sockmonkeys scare me!

How come I didn't know about Prince Sweet Pea getting hit by a car????? He's okay?? I'm so glad!
I don't know! I'm sorry I didn't email you! It was a crazy day yesterday! He isn't looking so good today, but I think he's just sore. He is eating and drinking, so that's a good sign.


That looks cute! I'm impressed with how you are diving in and learning so much about your new machine! I REALLY need to find some time to play with mine.

Just send it to me, and I'll play with it for you!

No such luck; hiding it.

Although sit-ups, so understandable. I'm SO glad we didn't have PE with the boys in 9th grade. I hated gym. My cousin was the gym teacher and I think she took it as a personal insult that I have absolutely no coordination or athletic ability at all. She harped on me all the time, which of course made me more self-conscious.

I would have liked it if we were separated from the boys. I so hated gym class! I'm sorry your cousin wasn't nicer to you!

Just slipping in to add that my local quilt shop is selling kits to make baby quilts with the sock monkey flannel...

Glenda

There you are!!! Heather and I were just talking about you the other day wondering how you were!

Henry and I went to Kauai 7 years ago when I was pregnant with Tessa. It was absolutely wonderful!! We look back at it as one of the best times we've ever had! We also want to Oahu for a few days. There's a VAST difference between the two islands, as I'm sure you know! I'd love to see Maui and the big island, too.

Come on, Tessa isn't THAT bad!!! :rotfl:

That is doable for a serger. I have the Singer from Walmart and I love it. I've had it about two years now and haven't had any problems with it. I got a smokin deal on it, ($50) but I think they sell for around $200 or so. It's this one: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=2276639
It is really easy to do a rolled hem with this one. You don't have to remove anything, you just flip the blade up, and change a few settings.
 
I'm late posting these, but that means you get action shots! We went to Disney in Sept and these are the outfits I made my 2 year old. I got to reuse one of them for halloween, yay!


Tiki Room Outfit - my very first time making my own applique!

First off: LOVE the Tiki Room set!

Second: You are the one I wanted to thank for the inspiration for one of my daughter's favorites from our trip!

I hope you didn't mind me borrowing a bit from your set, but I couldn't remember who had posted it to ask and/or thank them! THANK YOU! I hope you had a great trip!

I have been wondering the same...How did you get a smokin' deal on your sergers!!! $50 wow! Do tell... Please :) But even $200 is reasonable!
 
Day 6 was our second day to go to Hollywood Studios. For this day, the girls wore JoJo (and thankfully we saw JoJo on this day) and Snow White.

Our last full day we started out with a CP breakfast to celebrate Wendy's birthday....I posted this dress a few weeks ago but will post again....

Wow...amazing job!! I love them all...but especially the JoJo's Circus!! So cute!
 
He sounds like a cool guy! I am seriously impressed with all of the appliques you did! I would have guessed that you did them on an embroidery machine if they weren't so large. You are fantastic at applique!!
Thank you...that is a huge compliment!! I love doing it but I hate doing more than one or 2 of the same thing....I like the creativity of making new appliques, I guess. I like the challenge.
 
Thanks for all of the compliments....I am sure I missed quoting someone who commented. I had so much fun creating them. I just ordered a Feliz pattern and some of CarlaC's patterns and can't wait to get started. I am hoping to make some for the girls for Christmas...we have a photo shoot on Dec 6 so I have to get my machine in the shop to be serviced and then get busy. Thanks again to everyone who complimented my outfits. It meant a lot to me coming from all of you VERY TALENTED ladies!!!!:banana::banana::cool1:
 
I haven't posted much lately, but I have been trying to keep up with the boards. Everyone has been posting amazing outfits. I will try to get pics up today of the few things I've been able to get done.

Steph- I made Maddie a pair of Hippie jeans this morning. They came out great. Thanks for your wonderful tutorial! I promise to post pics soon.
 
Thanks everyone for the compliments on the kids costumes!!!

Ok, all of the appliques on the the overalls were WOW!!!

Just wanted to jump in and say hi. I am working on a Cindy outfit for Kaedyn right now and stitched HeatherSues Carraige on last night. Let me just say once again how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE her appliques!!! My mom's board is having a gift exchange and I even asked for Heather's Christmas appliques as my gift! The only problem I had was me, I put the stinking thing a little off center! UGH!
 
I have been wondering the same...How did you get a smokin' deal on your sergers!!! $50 wow! Do tell... Please :) But even $200 is reasonable!
One of the ladies who comes on this board off an on (theseamstress, Laura) lives near me. We were talking one day, and she told me about a serger underneath the cutting table at a nearby Walmart! She said I should go see if they would sell it cheap. So, I went to the Walmart and found it. Unfortunately, the person who could make me a deal wasn't there that day. So, I had to call back the next day. When I finally got hold of her, she told me I could have it for $50, because she was just tired of having it around. It didn't have a cord or a foot pedal, but I called Singer up when I got it home and they sent me one for free!

Or, I could have just told you:

It was a floor model. ;) But, that wouldn't have been NEARLY as much fun, would have it! :rotfl:
 
Love the balloon outfit too. Is the back of the top shirred?? I am guessing that is why it fits so perfectly.

It was a corset back, although I don't have any photos of it. Shirring is beyond me at the moment :)

Second: You are the one I wanted to thank for the inspiration for one of my daughter's favorites from our trip!

You are welcome! :)
 
I want a serger, too. If anyone finds one laying around for $50, let me know.:)

Here are Maddie's new hippie jeans. I just realized I forgot to topstitch. Maybe I will remember later. Thanks again Steph for your wonderful tutorial!

And here is Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. I took her fabric shopping and she picked out the blue print. She said everything else was ugly. That is the only fabric she wanted. She doesn't even like the orange, but I told her she has to have pants. I can't wait until she gets older and starts having an opinion of her own:rotfl2:

I have to get off of here and go get ready. I have to take Gray to the doctor today. I am trying to get him off of one of his asthma medicines. I don't know if I have ever taken my kids to the doctor when they were well. This will be a new experience for us.
 
I forgot to attach Maddie's Thanksgiving Day outfit. She is napping right now, so I don't have a picture of her wearing it. But I am not about to wake her.
101_5049.jpg

Maybe I did it right this time.
 
I think I can...I think I can...

We leave Saturday for 5 days...I have 3 outfits finished completely, 1 dress nearly completed and no clue what to do for the 4th day! :eek:

Did I mention I also have to finish a quilt before we leave. I have a feeling I will have some late nights for the rest of the week.

Anyone got any cute Daisy ideas? Daisy is dd's fav but I don't see too many customs with her. :confused3 Maybe I am just not looking in the right places. I have seen some safari designs...but we don't usually do Animal kingdom.

Cute! I like the brown sparklie fabric you used !
 
I've missed 56 pages in my absence???? Here I was wondering why I have been getting no Disboutique updates :lmao:

I started my TR with the big surprise video...link in my siggie!
