We just decided on a last minute trip to WDW during the week of Thanksgiving! We leave next Saturday! We are keeping it as a surprise from the kids...so they have no clue that they will be in Disney World in just a little over a week!! Won't be sewing much for this trip. Considering that we just booked this trip, I was quite happy with the ADRs that we were able to get on such short notice...I was able to get Crystal Palace, Ohana breakfast, Boma breakfast, Garden Grill, Jiko, Mama Melrose, and Kona cafe...oh, and Hollywood and Vine as well...I was afraid that they would only have dinner at some late hour, but managed to get all dinners at around 5:30-6pm.

Anyway, my latest project - for ds - Carla's bowling shirt...some of you may have seen this on facebook. This is for Disney on Ice, but will be coming to Disney with us as well. Thanks to Stacy for the idea!

Very Cool Shirt....That mickey must've taken forever!
We leave next Friday and will be there until Tuesday!!! Maybe we'll see you.

 

[tricia]

Here is her showing Snow White that she is on her dress.

Day 2: Pirate Mickey halter simply sweet with patchwork twirl.

Day 3: Embroidered tee shirt. It has a solid filled 2" mickey head and her name below. My mom and I also had the same shirts except ours said "mom" and "Grandma". The guys had grey ones with black mickey's and their names but they wimped out. My dh did wear his on the last day though and he admitted it was cool

Day 4: I "heart" Mickey dress. We couldn't walk through any line without people stopping us about this dress! I love this design...thank you so much HeatherSue! Even the characters were complimenting me. My ego was the size of the MK by the time we left...lol.

Here is chip giving me the thumps up for her dress!

Here Mickey drew a heart in the air kind of signing "You love me?" and gave dd a big hug...he gave me a thumbs up too.

Here is the best shot I have of the front of the dress.

And the best of the bunch was day 1 for her birthday dinner at the castle. Cinderella recognized the dress immediately and did such a great job in her role. They chatted about how her step sister tore it and how she always wanted another one. My dd was in awe! I was stopped 3 times by people asking if it was the dress from disneyshopping.com or something like that...never heard of the site before. I was shocked at how many people recognized it so easily. I will have more pictures of the actual dinner once my mom uploads her pictures. We found a topper for her cake that had Cinderella in the pink dress!

Hopefully I can get my trip report up this week sometime!

Glad you had a good time and that you were complimented on the customs. They all look great. Love the cheesy smile, my DS still does that at 8.

There were some great things in there!! Well, except for pages 21-28. Those boys will never forgive their mother for that... But, I LOVE the paper dolls outfit!!! Wow, what a fantastic idea! The pocket on page 38 is so pretty! I have to learn how to make pockets like those! Thank you, Mary Ann! I subscribed to it!
.

I too was thinking 'OMG, who in their right mind would put such an old child in an outfit like that?'

Congratulations, love the name you have chosen.

I have made these. http://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/baby/Mary-Jane-Booties-with-Ribbon-Velcro-0-14mths.htm

They go together easily enough, and are oh, so cute when done.

 

[angel23321]

Keeping her in my thoughts. It's so sad to see anyone with cancer, but when you have two young children it's absolutely heartbreaking. I'm teary eyed typing this and I don't even know your BFF.


If school is on tomorrow I could drop it off after I take the kids to school. Do you start work at 9am?


That looks great! After unsuccessful attempting a knit t-shirt hand embroidery this morning I am thinking ds is going to be getting appliqued bowling shirts instead. I had no problems (well, relatively few problems) appliqueing a Vida.



I'm rethinking the entire t-shirt thing after attempting one for dd this morning. I am either really am having problems witht his red thread (which gave me trouble in the past) or need a new needle and of course I go to my needle stash and have ZERO ballpoint needles in there. Ugh! I was just at the store yesterday. Wish I had known I needed them. I may however do a bowling shirt with Darby and Buster and I noticed her headband is lavender too. I will change it to a nice blue!

The t-shirt irked me so much this morning that I quit sewing and am cleaning my attic instead!

I don't worry so much about the dogs biting my kids. Chances are they deserve every nip they get! My dogs are well taken care of at the vet and have every vaccine under the sun. The female has nipped a couple of times, but the male nips them pretty often. He only does it when they are bothering him though so I'm hoping the kids will eventually learn. And potty training is out the door today. Our backyard has numerous areas of standing water. School was even closed today. I hate these Noreasterns as the rain is never ending. At least when we have hurricanes you get a break when the eye goes over and they move through faster. So it's newspaper in the kitchen today and so far we've had two "episodes" off the newspaper. Also, newspapaer is apparently much more fun to chew into small pieces and disperse throughout the kitchen than it is to pee on it.

It is good to hear about your schnauzer. Altough 18 months means a full year left for me My sister's yorkie became pretty good at about one year so i was kind of hoping for that. Yorkies are stubborn, Shih tzus are dumb, albeit cute.

Hey Andrea. I start work at 8:30 so I would be there after 9 definately. Emma is out of school tomorrow so she'll be at work with me...not sure how long that will last. LOL. Just let me know what time you'll be by. And you can always stop at Hancock on your way by to get that ballpoint.

 

[eeyore3847]

I have made these. http://www.youcanmakethis.com/info/baby/Mary-Jane-Booties-with-Ribbon-Velcro-0-14mths.htm

They go together easily enough, and are oh, so cute when done.

I saw those... they looked cute! were there multiple sizes in the pattern? did they stay on baby well?

Lori

 

[tricia]

There were 4 sizes. Not sure if they stayed on well, cause I haven't talked to the woman I made them for in a while. I would think that placement of the elastic would be key in the staying on. Since you would be making them for your own DD, you could adjust as necessary.

 

[karebear1]

Have a great trip. have fun! How long are you staying?

DH and I will be there for a week. We'll get back next friday evening.

GREAT JOB!! that is just so cute!

My darling, I have plenty of room in my heart to love you, too.

I know you do... I just wanted to hear it again!

My kids both have the flu at the moment. Tessa has been sick for 6 days and Sawyer has only had it for 3. They gave them tamiflu yesterday and they're both doing a lot better today, thankfully. I was getting worried about Tessa because she just kept getting worse instead of better.

Soooo happy to hear the littles are feeling better! I can't believe you and DH haven't gotten it yet! that's a blessing if I ever saw one!

Congrats on a little girl! How exciting!!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Wow! They are not going to be able to eat anywhere hardly. We're going down just before that and I have one day that I keep playing with dining reservations (I think we are going to just eat CS that day). Anyway, there is very little left and the best I can find is late at night. Her only real chances look to be at Epcot and a few resorts.

Good luck to them!!

She says she's going to prove me wrong by showing me that you can go without a plan.

I tried to explain that she gave up a room discount to get "free" dining that she won't get much use out of but she doesn't really get it. She went in a slow season last year for a couple of nights with just her DH and they were able to get into a few places late at night so she thinks she'll be OK with her family of 5 during a busy free dining period. I've even got another coworker who is a Disney fanatic telling her to try to make a few ADR's just to have something but she doesn't want to be tied down.

We just decided on a last minute trip to WDW during the week of Thanksgiving! We leave next Saturday! We are keeping it as a surprise from the kids...so they have no clue that they will be in Disney World in just a little over a week!! Won't be sewing much for this trip.

LOVE that Mickey bowling shirt!!!

Yay....trip photos! We just got back last night from 5 wonderful days at the Beach club.

Love all your outfits! Your DD is adorable!!!

 

[SallyfromDE]

Has anyone been in the Disney Store? They have a 2 dress set. The blue dress and the Pink one. I bet they got the idea from all the Dis kids that were in the Mice made dress.

BTW... your daughters dresses are wonderful.

 

[mom2rtk]

Has anyone been in the Disney Store? They have a 2 dress set. The blue dress and the Pink one. I bet they got the idea from all the Dis kids that were in the Mice made dress.

I have seen it and it is absolutely beautiful! Too bad it's packaged with the blue one. I don't think it's pretty at all. I make the pink gown, but probably would have bought one of the pink if it wasn't a package deal!

 

[VBAndrea]

Yay....trip photos! We just got back last night from 5 wonderful days at the Beach club. I only had 4 outfits for dd because the last outfit's applique design kept breaking my needles . That is ok though because she really liked one of them so it was easy to repeat.

Day 1: She wore a simply sweet for the car ride and our first afternoon in the parks. I used the princess fabric with the main 4 princesses that is on a light blue background. I cut out each princess individually for a patchwork twirl skirt. I used snow white and Belle for the bottom tier with yellow patches, Aurora and pink patches on the second tier, and light blue patches for the Cinderella tier. I only had 1 yard of the princess fabric and just had enough princesses for the skirt. I did empire length bodice on the simply sweet. Each time she met a princess that was on the dress she pointed to it and told her, "this is you!"

Here is her showing Snow White that she is on her dress.

Day 2: Pirate Mickey halter simply sweet with patchwork twirl.

Day 3: Embroidered tee shirt. It has a solid filled 2" mickey head and her name below. My mom and I also had the same shirts except ours said "mom" and "Grandma". The guys had grey ones with black mickey's and their names but they wimped out. My dh did wear his on the last day though and he admitted it was cool

Beautiful outfits and photos! It looks like your dd got plenty of attention from those customs! Thanks for sharing.

Just popping in to say stay safe to boutiqers in northeast NC and VB and all you other guys getting pounded by the nor'easter! That weather looks terrible...stay safe!!!

Thanks for thinking of us. School was closed today so all of us are still in our jammies and it's 5pm. After baths we'll just change into clean jammies! So obviously we have not been out of the house.

We live on the eastcoast of Md, not too far north of Virginia Beach and Norfolk. This is a bad storm! All kinds of flooding and high winds to boot. Unlike a hurricane that at least moves on, this storm is just sitting here taking it's sweet time before we hope it moves on.

That's my big complaint too -- hurricanes move through faster and I love going out when the eye is over us (just walk outside -- not venture out driving). It's supposed to slow to a light rain tonight so hopefully some of the standing water will disappear. Some in our yard has even gone down a little. I hope things are back to normal tomorrow. I have to get to the fabric store so I really need the kids to go back to school!

Hey Andrea. I start work at 8:30 so I would be there after 9 definately. Emma is out of school tomorrow so she'll be at work with me...not sure how long that will last. LOL. Just let me know what time you'll be by. And you can always stop at Hancock on your way by to get that ballpoint.

I drop the kids off in Chesapeake at 8:30 so I'll probably get there around 9 (as long as I remember to bring the shirt -- perhaps I should toss it in the car right now!). I was at Hancock's on Wed for the Veteran's Day 10% off and would you believe I could not find one single fabric I liked? I bought some trims, embroidery thread and serger needles though. I have to get to the Joanne's on Laskin tomorrow. I tend to have the best luck there and there is one fabric I purchased there that I need more of, so I know I'll at least find something. I was there last weekend but had the kids with me. I had a productive trip, but didn't get to look at as much as I wanted to.

Look forward to meeting you and Emma tomorrow.

Hey Andrea..I just heard Chesapeake schools are closed tomorrow...if I remember your kids don't go to public schools but thought I would mention it. I think Suffolk are closed tomorrow also.

 

[luv2go2disney]

How scary! Glad he's doing better now.

Congrats on your first bowling shirt! They do get easier.

Looks like we'll be there at the same time. I'll be at Pop 11/30 to 12/7.

.

Cool if you see me feel free to stop me I would love to meet some of you all in person!!!

OT random vent/question-

So, I have a friend w/ a 4 year and 2 month old. The same friend I did the nursery and the baptismal blanket for. She calls and asks for my help planning a WDW trip in December. Apparently her DH has a conference and they're adding a few days onto it. So I spend a couple of hours researching with her to help her understand transport from the airport (alone w/ the 2 kids), hotel, etc. I explain to her the deals going on at the values (I found them a rate for their nights for like $59 a night. I explain all the added costs and aggravation of staying off site- needing a rental car, potentially getting lost, the list goes on... Anyway, she finally decides what they want to do, and says she's going to call and book it, and can I help them with the itinerary- sure, I say. (I'm super busy w/ work, have sever bronchitis, DH is travelling, I'm behind on my sewing, but...)sure.

She calls back yesterday and says her DH got them a "great deal" on travelocity and they're staying in some hotel on I-Drive but now they're going for 5 days and so it will be much more relaxed, and they can just go back to their room in the afternoon and rest, and there will be plenty of time to do everything, and do I think 5 days is too long?



So right now I'm feeling like I completely wasted 2 hours of valuable time, and now she wants me to waste I don't know how many more on something she's probably going to ignore anyway- ugh!

Of course, I may just have a bad attitude, and if so, feel free to tell me.

So, WWYD at this point?

That is soooo irritating to me. I have wasted plenty of time explaining Disney to others....so now I just direct them to the DIS & let them make their own plans & do their own research...just like I did when I started out! Maybe then they will start to understand the need for a plan a little bit more!!!

Just wanted to ask that if anyone has a free moment today please say a prayer for my BFF Beth. She is a mom of my dd's7 best "boy" friend and of a 3 yr old cutie pie. She has stage 4 ovarian cancer and is undergoing her first chemo treatment today. She underwent surgery to remove 60 tumors and this treatment is our final chance at health for her.
I appreciate your help & know that a little prayer never hurt anyone.

That is so terrible I will definitely be praying for Beth. I hope that she is able to overcome this terrible disease!!!!

Has anyone been in the Disney Store? They have a 2 dress set. The blue dress and the Pink one. I bet they got the idea from all the Dis kids that were in the Mice made dress.

BTW... your daughters dresses are wonderful.

That must have been what all those people were asking me about then. They kept referring to a Disney shopping website...probably the Disney store ones. I had never seen those before. I still like the ones we make on here better

 

[angel23321]

Hey Andrea...I'm going to have to stay home with the girls tomorrow. Dave is on duty so essential personnel and will have to head to the shipyard.

Can you drop the shirt off on Monday?

[ireland_nicole]

I am having trouble with my sewing machine skipping stitches. I know I need to just take it in for a cleaning and ask them, but can't be without it until I close down for Christmas. It only seems to be a problem when I'm sewing gathered broadcloth (like putting in the sleeves on the blouse I'm making now). I end up having to sew all of those seams twice, which is driving me NUTS!

I have always used the Schmetz size 12 universal needles and never had problems. I also have a little bottle of stuff that I can put on the needle, and that does help, but this is WAY too high maintenance for the quantity of what I have to do!

I would appreciate any suggestions you all have. I did open the machine up and take it apart and blow all the dust bunnies out. No change........

THANKS!

Oh no! Hope you get it sorted soon!

Oh gosh, what an incredibly hard situation. I can't even imagine having to go through all of that with little kids at home too. I will definitely be praying for her.

Oh no! That's awful! I'll pray!

How annoying!! I had this person e-mail me more pictures before we drove all the way up to Grand Rapids to get it. It was really frustrating trying to find a bed! The vast majority of the time, I'd e-mail people or call them and never get a response. We just sold Tessa's old bed on craigslist, too! Yay! Now I'm on the lookout for one for Sawyer. I have 2 1/2 years before he'll be old enough for a loft bed, so I've got some time!

In the last 2 weeks, we've done a whole bunch of stuff on craigslist- we bought a car, sold a car, bought a bed, and sold a bed! I'm fixin' to list some of the kid's baby toys on there soon.


LOL! I bet that's the same one I e-mailed the woman about! I found that it wasn't a very good deal after searching ebay for similar machines that had sold.



My kids both have the flu at the moment. Tessa has been sick for 6 days and Sawyer has only had it for 3. They gave them tamiflu yesterday and they're both doing a lot better today, thankfully. I was getting worried about Tessa because she just kept getting worse instead of better.


How funny is it that we all looked at the same machine on Craigslist?

.

Oh no! Are you guys looking for an embroidery machine on there every day too?!

Glad to hear your kids are doing better. Hopefully you and your DH don't get it!

Also glad you to hear you've had good luck on craigslist. I guess I will just keep on looking!

I have seen it and it is absolutely beautiful! Too bad it's packaged with the blue one. I don't think it's pretty at all. I make the pink gown, but probably would have bought one of the pink if it wasn't a package deal!

I was thinking the same thing. The blue one is ugly but the pink one looks pretty!

Here are 2 things i made this week

Lori

So cute!! The first one is my favorite but they are both adorable!

Yay....trip photos! We just got back last night from 5 wonderful days at the Beach club. I only had 4 outfits for dd because the last outfit's applique design kept breaking my needles . That is ok though because she really liked one of them so it was easy to repeat.

Day 1: She wore a simply sweet for the car ride and our first afternoon in the parks. I used the princess fabric with the main 4 princesses that is on a light blue background. I cut out each princess individually for a patchwork twirl skirt. I used snow white and Belle for the bottom tier with yellow patches, Aurora and pink patches on the second tier, and light blue patches for the Cinderella tier. I only had 1 yard of the princess fabric and just had enough princesses for the skirt. I did empire length bodice on the simply sweet. Each time she met a princess that was on the dress she pointed to it and told her, "this is you!"

Here is her showing Snow White that she is on her dress.

Day 2: Pirate Mickey halter simply sweet with patchwork twirl.

Day 3: Embroidered tee shirt. It has a solid filled 2" mickey head and her name below. My mom and I also had the same shirts except ours said "mom" and "Grandma". The guys had grey ones with black mickey's and their names but they wimped out. My dh did wear his on the last day though and he admitted it was cool

Day 4: I "heart" Mickey dress. We couldn't walk through any line without people stopping us about this dress! I love this design...thank you so much HeatherSue! Even the characters were complimenting me. My ego was the size of the MK by the time we left...lol.

Here is chip giving me the thumps up for her dress!

Here Mickey drew a heart in the air kind of signing "You love me?" and gave dd a big hug...he gave me a thumbs up too.

Here is the best shot I have of the front of the dress.

And the best of the bunch was day 1 for her birthday dinner at the castle. Cinderella recognized the dress immediately and did such a great job in her role. They chatted about how her step sister tore it and how she always wanted another one. My dd was in awe! I was stopped 3 times by people asking if it was the dress from disneyshopping.com or something like that...never heard of the site before. I was shocked at how many people recognized it so easily. I will have more pictures of the actual dinner once my mom uploads her pictures. We found a topper for her cake that had Cinderella in the pink dress!

Hopefully I can get my trip report up this week sometime!

All of your outfits are great! Looks like you had a great trip!

I really like the colors on the snowman outfit. I'm not a huge fan of traditional red and green. Of course, I have Christmas horse panels to make dd a Vida and wouldn't you know it -- red and green. And your Hannah applique is great!

Hey Andrea..I just heard Chesapeake schools are closed tomorrow...if I remember your kids don't go to public schools but thought I would mention it. I think Suffolk are closed tomorrow also.

Hey Andrea...I'm going to have to stay home with the girls tomorrow. Dave is on duty so essential personnel and will have to head to the shipyard.

Can you drop the shirt off on Monday?

Sandy

We follow Virginia Beach public schools for closing, and alas, they are closed. I can probably drop the shirt off on Monday. I think I am going to see if my mom will watch the kids for a couple of hours later today or tomorrow though. I really want to go to Joanns. I also need to go grocery shopping which I wanted to do yesterday as I'm quite sure today is payday. Ugh! I think I am at least going to have to go to Superwalmart to pick up a couple of essentials.

And I didn't realize your name was Sandy. I was going to walk into the Sandler Center and ask for Angel!

Well, I better get sewing now. Our power went out for about 5 minutes last night and I know a lot of people are without it. I think we'll be safe today though. My puppies even went outside this morning
