May 7,8 and 9

OOOH! That will work with the plans we have now!!! We get in on the 8th, although I'm trying to fanangle coming in on the 7th somehow.


Obviously he noticed my absence from his concert this last year and is trying to make amends!

He did mention he had not seen you in awhile

Well, it looks like you can add our house as those with that dreaded piggie flu going around!

Had to take my DGD2 in today with a fever of 102.1 under the arm. She tested positive for the flu. Pediatrician feels it is the H1N1, but the test results won't be in for a few days. (they normally don't test, but we have an at risk child at home).

Right now her fever is coming and going. She can't hold anything down, and is just not 'herself'. She feels miserable. I get to keep her tonight since her mommy and daddy have to take the boys to their Mom tomorrow. They can't be sick or they can't go...

It is going to be a long night around here!

Oh no! I feel for you! We are almost at a week fighting this horrible flu! I hope you can keep her somewhat comfortable.

I figured as much.

Hmm...looks like he will be 2 1/2 hours east of me in January....

Enabler Alert, for anyone interested in owning a Cricut, Walmart just released their black friday ad and they have as a doorbuster the cricut expression for $188.00 and select cartridges for $20-30. I want a cricut so badly so I think I may brave the crowds and try and get one.

 

[dogodisney]

These are all really cute!

You know how to make an entrance!!!! All your stuff is amazing!!! I would love to see some bigger pictures though. I love the Hoop De Do outfit!!!

Thank you! I really enjoyed making everything. The next time I post pics, I won't make them so small. I didn't want to take up too much space since I was posting a lot of pics and since it was my first time posting over here, I didn't want to be too much of a space hog.

I hope your daughter gets better soon.

digitized often!



Hi ANA!!!! Nice to see you about these parts!

.

Oh my goodness I am ADDICTED to this board ....BUT You ALL are AMAZINGLY talented! Seriously makes me regret not learning how to sew. I sat here today and just clicked and clicked and just saw the cutest outfits ever....my hat is off to ALL of you!!

Good luck! You will love it. I lucked into one last year on clearance at a smaller Wal-Mart or I'd probably be right there with you! I can't believe I ever lived without one!

Coming out of lurkdom to say I love my cricut!!! And there are several internet companies that have great prices on the cartridges - with or without a sale!

Hey all. My little one has curly hair, but it doesn't always curl on it's own. If I get it a little wet and hand curl it it does...otherwise it's a little kinky/frizzy. Do any of you use anything special? Like a special spritz product? I'd like something easy to carry around so I can fix her hair when needed.
Thanks!!

I use the Johnson and Johnson "Buddies" detangling spray. It's smoother/silkier and doesn't require as much spraying as the Suave Kids brand. It helps the frizzies without looking like gel or greasy. Also I use a very wide toothed comb (like a pick but a comb) or a plastic tipped bristle brush (actually a Little Mermaid brush from the Pop Century gift shop--I forgot a brush on our trip and DD would've had dreadlocks by the end of the week if I hadn't spent $9 on that brush--good thing it's turned out to be a great brush.) I've had a friend recommend "Silken Child" which is an ethnic hair product sold at beauty supply stores. I haven't tried it yet, but she swears by it. Also a mom of one of the curly-headed girls in DDs preK class carries a spritz bottle of water in her purse and just spritzes her hair if it gets a little too wild.

Again, I am butting into your conversations so I hope you don't mind. I love my Cricut and I got it last year on Black Friday. I may have to check out which cartridges they have on sale. You can do so much with the cricut.

So I say Do IT!!

This is the reverse side of the froggy applique A-line I posted (about 10 pages ago...you ladies move FAST!) Can you tell Princess Crankypants was not in a modeling mood? The easy-fits are made from stretch cotton poplin...I think I may use that fabric to make myself some capri easy-fits for spring since I bought CarlaC's adult easy fit pants pattern. It seems like a comfy and forgiving fabric for pants-making. I tried to upsize the child's pattern to an adult pattern (before hers was for sale) and ended up with legs so wide my DH looked like he was wearing a skirt rather than flannel PJs! I had to go back and take in the inner leg seams by several inches!

 

[Camping Griswalds]

I would love to try this too. Thanks for the directions!

Will you add that to the bookmarks? I know I will be wanting to remember that for the future!

Thank you, I am hoping that this flu will be over soon. I really think we are on the tail end of it. I hope!

Don't worry about posting too many pictures, there is no such thing on this thread!

Stick with us, before you know it you will be sewing!

Your daughter is ADORABLE!!! Even if she was cranky!!! Those eyes, just gorgeous!

I was going to do that and got distracted. Thanks for reminding me

I once made Lydia top with similar sleeves that were too tight. What I did is took the bottom seam out of the sleeve and then slit open a little bit going down the side of the shirt, to make the armhole larger. The sleeves will be fluttery type sleeves and you put a narrow hem on each side where you took the seam out and down the side where you took out part of the seam.

If that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll to explain it better!

Another thought would be to put an extra piece into the top at the shoulders, where you put the snaps to make it bigger.

I am sorry to hear Lydia is not feeling well. I know how frustrating that is. I am sooooooooooooooo tired of Grace being sick. She was in the hospital last Christmas and has caught every thing imaginable since. I am so ready to go back to normal.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't even think of that. I think I need to go dig the gowns out of the trash where I threw them when I had my little hissy fit earlier. Thank God it is my sewing trash can only thread and material in it. Whew..................... I will try to add some fabric to the shoulder pieces. I like that idea. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much. I KNEW someone over here would help me.

 

[MouseTriper]

OMGOSH!!! While in the car tonight Taylor & I were talking about Christmas & she told me she really wants a Zhu Zhu Pet. Since I know these are sold out everywhere I told her that so many kids wanted them that I may not be able to find her one. She told me NOT to worry because, "Santa does NOT have to buy them from a store, he MAKES his own"!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness, my sweet girl. Now I REALLY need to find one (at normal price though @ten bucks). If anyone sees them in the store, please, please tell me!!!!!!!!

Lydia update:

Lydia woke up this morning with a temp of 98.4, which is higher than the normal for her, but below fever level.

But, this afternoon, she was acting kind of funny and very tired. I took her temperature awhile ago, but she decided to head out to the kitchen with the thermometer in her mouth. It was a non mercury glass thermometer. Was... Well, it fell and broke! When I picked it up, it was showing a fever again. I'm not sure if the breaking could have caused that or not. I sent Brian out to buy a new thermometer, and he just walked in the door, so I'm going to check it again.

She will NOT be happy if we miss Pizza Night AGAIN!

I hope Lydia feels better soon. Abbie was sick for three weeks in October. I didn't think she was ever going to get better.

Well I just did a wrap-top dress for a cousin that is a belated birthday present. She is a huge Scooby-Doo fan.

Now on to something else......

Coming out of lurkdom to say that this dress made Leighanna want me to make her one. Thank You!!! She rarely wants me to sew for her much anymore! I already had the pattern but had not made it yet. Of course she wanted that same fabric, but I didn't have it so we opted for a Thanksgiving one instead.

I also just finished this for a Big Give.

That zebra stripe is a favorite around here! I saw the Mickey head and thought maybe you were planning a trip.......
