Good morning all!
Sorry I have been MIA! We just got back from WDW last Sat. We had a fabulous time We stayed at AKLV for the 1st time and we are in LOVE it was even better then the pictures! We got to spend a good portion of a day with Cathy (Twobe4him) we had such a great day with them! Our girls even did BBB together on Nikki's bday! Cathy and I cried walking down and empty main street! It was great to share that experience with her and her girls. No pictures yet we are having issues with some pictures. Hopefully this weekend we will have some.

We are already planing our trip back. Ok I am planing it This summer is hilton head then early March 2011 we head back to WDW hopefully with our best friends and their kids.

Everything is FABULOUS!

I made some of Carla's new easy fit pattern for adult right before I left ad I LOVE this new pattern! Carla is just amazing!

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!




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

HAHA...yes, my name is Sandy. It's a big mess out there one of the streets into our development is flooded but other than that we're good. And yes, it's payday....hopefully everyone will stay home so you can get shopping done.

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.

We are still laughing at her fake cheesy smile. It came out of no where for her first character pic. Each time she did it we were cracking up!

Does anyone have any words of wisdom on ...fleas?

Evidently the extreme drought and then the very wet last 6 weeks has caused a bad flea problem. We just found out DS8 is allergic. Of course, they are living in his room!

I have just emptied everything out of his room, vacuumed EVERYTHING; sprayed his mattress and box springs; in process of washing all bedding, toys, clothes, etc twice in HOT water. (seems the eggs can hatch in the warmth of the dryer, so you need to rewash them after drying!). I've mopped his floors twice...once in a bleach solution, once in my regular shine stuff (hardwood floors).

Of course...NOW... they are bound to turn up in the rest of the house! We are having a professional sprayer come out to spray the house next week, and they suggested we treat the yard as well. All of this before Thanksgiving...at least we are only having about 20 people this year.

So...any suggestion on anything else I can do now? I know prevention is the best form of control, but at this point that is a bit late.

Thanks...

We had a problem once many years ago when we had dogs. I'm currently being heavily lobbied for a dog, but am holding strong. (no....no.... no.... sorry.... just practicing....)

The most important piece in all of it is a 3 prong attack as close to the same time as possible. This includes home, animal and yard. If you do them at separate times you run the risk of reinfestation.

Good luck. I still remember going into the vets, putting my check on the counter and saying "just fill in a number and fix my problem".......

I'm not sure where you live, but we also prayed hard for a hard freeze. That at least take care of the yard problem.

In future years, treat your yard proactively and keep your dog treated and you'll be fine......

Teresa's girls are both sick with the flu now. I am anxiously awaiting her facebook update so I can see how they did last night. I don't want to call her and wake them up if they're sleeping. Tessa has been fever free since yesterday evening. But, Sawyer woke up with a 102.5 fever. I have a REALLYL SORE throat, but no fever. I sure hope I'm not getting it.

This is FABULOUS, Jenny!! Wow!! How on earth did you make such a big filled applique look so nice?? Usually it would be all puckered up around the edges! Great job!

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.

What's even better is when they tear up the newspaper AFTER they use it! Yes, my dog did that when she was a puppy. EWWWW!!! Most schnauzers are easy to housetrain. But, not Josie! She also chewed up everything until she was 18 months old. This is why I said I'll never get another puppy. Well, at least not when I have young kids. They're so much work. But, they're so darn cute!

Marah (emcreative) just got a new puppy and it's so incredibly adorable! I hope she posts some pictures on here! She's a maltese/daschund mix.

Each time she met a princess that was on the dress she pointed to it and told her, "this is you!"

WOW!! Those are some beautiful outfits!!! GREAT job!! I love the "I heart Mickey" dress and the picture of her with Mickey!!! Of course, the pink Cinderella is always going to be my favorite!

The story about your DD showing each princess their picture on her dress sounds very familiar! When Tessa was 3, she had shoes with all the princesses inside. So, every time we saw a princess, she took off her shoe and showed them their picture. It was hilarious!! Here she is showing Snow White her picture (this was pre-sewing):

and Cinderella:

and Aurora:

anyways had my ultrasound today!!!
IT IS A GIRL!!!

I read this on facebook yesterday! Congratulations and I'm so excited about all the tiny little ruffly confections you'll come up with in the future!

I heard it through the grapevine that there will be a new CarlaC pattern just for babies sometime in the near future. I also heard that it's really stinkin' cute.

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

I am so glad I'm not the only one!! I think that kid was about 7 years old, in a Jon Jon!!! The Christmas edition had some equally bad outfits for boys. Someone needs to introduce these people to the bowling shirt!

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.

We've really started something!!

I love the little snowman! So cute!

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

Well, I'm only looking for one for Teresa. So, you only have a little bit of competition!

How sweet that you both cried while walking down Main St!! I hope George got a picture of that one! Are the AKLV like the ones they have set up in the mall by you? Those rooms looked awesome!!!

Does anyone have any words of wisdom on ...fleas?

I don't, but I really feel for you! I know those little things can be relentless! Maybe a little of this will help

If I were you, I would stay away from Marah's profile on facebook. You may be swayed by all the puppy cuteness over there!

Is anyone itching to make an autograph book??

Once we get the autograph spot filled in this give, we'll call it full! The ship date is on my birthday, so you can consider it your gift to me.

How 'bout some crayon roll-ups, and more autograph books?

Our "crayon roll-up girl" is out of commission, so we need some help with this one, too!

Mininorris...

We had the same issue this year down here is SWFL....same reasons too!

Anyway, I have owned dogs 20 years and NEVER had a flea infestation. It took one whole month and this is what we did....

1. We used Adams Flea shampoo on the dogs every few days
2. We used the Adams spray and bombs for the furniture, carpets etc
3. We sprayed the yard 3 times our selves and we had the inside and the outside of the house treated twice by a professional.
4. We also vacuumed EVERYDAY for that month every room in the house and the trick is to empty your canister after each room into a zip lock bag....the reason for this is two fold A) it lets you see which rooms have more fleas than others and B) it also prevents the fleas from jumping into a new area and reinfesting a new part of the house.

Hang in there. I know how hard it is.

I hope Teresa's kids feel better today! Of course I hope your house gets better FAST!

George wasn't with Cathy and I on mainstreet. I woke Nikki up early on the morning of her 10th bday saying she needed to get ready because we had gotten an appointment at BBB. It was a surprise ad she was THRILLED! She jumped out of bed and got dressed right away. Nik and I made it to MK before Cathy so I got pictures of her and her girl walking through the turnstiles. Actually I could have been the 1st one on Main st but I waited for her so we could go together
George meet us with Kyle at BBB and got a few pictures. Kathy and I stopped at the photopass people and got a bunch of all of us with the castle and the girls alone! I think we even got one of us alone with the castle? I can't remember. Poor Cathy was loaded down with bags because her girls had no clue they where going to the castle! I think Brooklyn was even nervous to go inside We kept dropping cues and I think Sarah got it but was afraid to really say anything. She is so sweet! I will say i think Cathy and I where more excited then our girls going into BBB! I think next time Cathy and I should do BBB!!! Of course the ditz I am I left my photopass card at BBB and went up to CRT THANK GOD! Cathy was sweet enough to drop it off to me at CRT! then we meet the next morning at Epcot I want to say around 9:30/10am? then spent until a little after 2pm together, We had so much fun!!!!!! I usually don't really like Epcot (I know shocking!) but with Cathy and her girls we had a blast!!!!!!!

I know you wanted to know all of that! LOL


Love those pictures of little Tessa!

If I were you, I would stay away from Marah's profile on facebook. You may be swayed by all the puppy cuteness over there!

Well.... I do feel strong..... I saw 2 dogs through to old age..... but I'll stay away just to be safe....

My boys have ganged up on me. Every time I ask what they want for Christmas, the both say "a dog"...... But we have 3 cats already.... and it takes longer to get one of them to change the box than it would to just do it myself........I'll be strong....

NO.....NO...... NO........

My main goal today is to make sure that while we are having OUR Thanksgiving feast, that the fleas aren't having THEIRS! The professionals said it could take 10 to 14 days for the fleas to all die....and they can't get to us until late next week! Yikes!

I have been walking around with my pant legs rolled up... my ankles have a few bites...but they seemed to stop there! (although I DO look a tad bit funny!)

We have used frontline on both inside dogs a week or so ago, and they have been getting weekly 'flea' baths for at least 6 weeks. (started because of the mud...both are long haired...one a chihuahua and one a mini dachshund and they love the mud!)

So...now we are off to find some do-it-yourself flea stuff. Hopefully not too toxic for us! If Thanksgiving wasn't coming up so fast I would have preferred to use natural methods....if only they would have made their presence known earlier!

I am going to have a busy busy weekend! I have a quilt on the frame that needs to have some binding attached and my daughter has decided she wants me to quilt her Christmas Tree Skirt ... by Sunday! Of course she has to apply the binding, so it needs to be in her hands by Saturday evening! Plus I FINALLY have the adult easy fits pattern printed out. Now no time to sew! WAAAAAH...ok crying over!

I hope Sawyer is doing better today and that your sore throat goes away quickly! This flu is just awful! Hopefully Teresa and her family get over whatever they have quickly too!

Wow! If Tessa gets a machine, think of all the cool things you guys can make together!

I want to see Marah's puppy! I've been itching to get one since our dog had to be put down in the spring, but I just don't know what to get. We had a golden retriever that was wonderful with our girls but the shedding was out of control!!!! We would like a smaller dog, that's good with kids, and doesn't shed so much. Any suggestions? I have to say that I had a miniature schnauzer growing up and I really loved her!

I love the pics of Tessa showing the princesses the inside of her shoes! Those characters must see a lot of interesting things!

QUESTION I am going to do one of HeatherSUes designs on my machine - read the directions for the machine in the manual - It says to do the outline on the applique piece take it out of the frame to cut it out then put the base layer in the frame and put the applique piece on the base piece them stitch it. Is this right? I kinda thought I was suppose to put the base fabric in, then then it would stich out the outline of where to put the first layer then it tacks down the first layer, then I trim the fabric, and so on... Am I right or do I do it like the book? ANd if I am right, do you girls remove the fabric from the hoop to trim or trim while in the hoop for fear of putting it in not in the same exact place? What do you use to trim really close to the tacked down stitch?

Definately don't take it out of the hoop. You would never line it back up exactly right. I've been using Heather's designs also. Here's what I've been doing. Hoope the stabilizer, lay my fabric on top. Let it stitch out the outline. Float my applique fabric on top and have it do the second stitching. Then trim the applique fabric as close to the stitching as possible. I remove the hoop from the machine but keep everything in the hoop. Put the hoop back on the machine and let it to the top stitches.

Hope that helps.

UGH on the fleas. We had a problem a few years ago. We ended up bombing the house and flea shampooing the dog on the same day to get rid of them. In order to make sure you have them all, at night put a pan of water on the floor and put a light over/near the pan. The fleas will go towards the light and jump in the water and drown. If the bombing worked...no fleas in the pan.
I am extremely allergic and knew immediately that we had them. My legs were covered in red hives because of the bites. Good Luck.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

so only hoop the stabilizer not the stabilizer and base fabric?
