And Brighton as her prince

And Kaedyn on 50's day at school Friday. Store bought costume

Super cute!!

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a week or so now. I was planning on waiting to introduce myself until I had pictures to share but I can't find the camera cord, so don't know when my little Snow White will have pictures online.

I can't wait to get started on my next project! I'll post pics as soon as I find my camera cord and finish the new dresses Looking forward to joining all of you talented folks. Seriously, the stuff you make is amazing. I think my jaw hit the floor when I saw the velvet Snow White dress (which is how I found this group in the first place).

Welcome! Now hurry up and find the camera cord LOL.

If anyone has any extra pixie dust please send it my way. After spending an unexpected $4400 on our furnance my steam cleaner has now died. I have spent hours taking it apart and cleaning it. One day it didn't spray -- fixed that and thought I was doing well. Next day cleaned a large part of a room b/f I realized it wasn't sucking up water. Figured I just seated the bucket wrong so finished cleaning the room with another batch of water and instead of having clean fresh carpeting all I had was wet carpeting with diluted puppy pee smell. Last night I had two cat puke spots and one dog diarrhea in the bedroom and had to hand clean them and also have a completely taken aprat Bissel sitting in my bathroom. I'm off to buy a cheap Hoover today b/c nothing is in the budget right now but I have two dumb (albeit cute) puppies who were pen trained but apparently think all our carpet is grass now that I have set them free. We are having all sorts of odd little things breaking and it's getting costly. I've completely written off ever dreaming about a embroidery machine but I still so desparately want a new camera b/f Disney and I fear I will not be getting one.

OK, I'm done whining....

Hope you get things sorted soon, sounds like a very frustrating day.

Here is what I ended up hacking/making out of the dress shirts and pj pants for my pirate costume..

and here is d dress that i made 2 years ago, and let her wear for dress-up, she decided to wear it again this year, and since everything was either safety pinned or velcroed, it mostly fit

Next year she wants to be Belle. She thinks.
dh wants us to be dressed all together, think something like hotdog, fries, ketchup and mustard bottles. (oh dear)

Cute!

We just returned yesterday but I don't have all of my pictures uploaded so I will just start with day one and two....more to follow..
These are the customs I made for our dinner on the first night @ Chef Mickey's.

Our first day in the park was "Peter Pan and Tinkerbell day". I not only made customs for the granddaughters but also for my daughter and son-in-law. He was teased all day but they had a good time. Cinderella's stepsister even asked him "who made you wear that?" (excuse the shadowy pictures)

My youngest Granddaughter is named Wendy so these overalls were appropriate for her..the back said "you can fly" (the picture didn't show all the words)

And Mia wore Tinkerbell...I didn't even get a picture of the back but it had a picture of Peter Pan on the back

These are just the cutest ever!!!! Fantastic!

Our 2nd night we went to Ohana for dinner...these were the dresses I made for the girls for that night...

Our second full day was spent in Hollywood Studios. Mia's favorite movie is Fox and the Hound so I made these overalls for her...again, I didn't get a picture of the back but they had puppy paws and the words "we will always be friends" appliqued on them.

And Wendy wore her Winnie the Pooh capri overalls...

I hope I haven't put too many pictures. I will try to upload more tonight and post a few more days tomorrow. We were there 9 days so it is taking a while to get them all uploaded to photobucket.

So, so, so, so, so, cute! And there are never too many pics!

We were in WDW the end of Aug and first week of Sept. and it has taken me this long to get caught up. If I were to comment on everything beautiful It would take another month. We had such an awsome time and a lot of the special magic was because of the custom clothes. I appreciate all of you so much, I have a great new hobby that I really enjoy and my DD loves it too!! Than you all so much,
OK enough gushing, on with the customs and costumes. These were for fall and Halloween, not the trip. I am posting those in my trip report.
Here is the pumpkin patch dress that she wore every chance she got

This is the petti skirt I bought from Aimeeg, she just craves chances to wear it!!!

The applique on the Walmart top is from YCMT

My very talented girlfriend who has no children came by and did all the pumpkin carving with the two littlest kids.
Nicole was Dorothy and Mitchell was the tin man so that is what she carved. Bless her!!

Gorgeous!!

 

[tvgirlmin]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the pumpkin patch dress! Soooooo adorable!!!!

 

[teresajoy]

A boy my age lived next door. We were good friends and I always had a crush on one or two of his friends. I was 15 or 16 and was wearing white pants. I had on underwear with little green frogs that did not show through. Until one of those boys threw me in the swimming pool. I will never forget the little green frog underwear.

ETA: sorry, I really messed up on the photo quotes!

That will do for an embarassing story!!! Ok, who is next??? Heather, I'm sure you have some, or do you want me to start telling them?????

Where are the pictures of you in your Peter Pan overalls?? What great sports your family is!! The outfits are so cute!!

Our second full day was spent in Hollywood Studios. Mia's favorite movie is Fox and the Hound so I made these overalls for her...again, I didn't get a picture of the back but they had puppy paws and the words "we will always be friends" appliqued on them.

Oh I LOOOOVE this set!!! The Fox and the Hound was one of Heather's favorite movies when she was little. She would have loved this as a little girl! Actually, I think it was her favorite record, she had one of those read along with me books. "You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear tinkerbell ring her little bell like this..."

That petti looks very familiar! (Aimee bought it new from me. ) It looks cute with that outfit!

Crazy day here today. I need a vacation! Yesterday Marissa came home from spending the night at a friends house all in tears because some idiot hit (hit and run!) her parked car overnight and left a dent in her driver side, and she can't open her door. Good thing she's small and agile because she has to get in the passenger side until we can get it fixed...I called it in first thing this morning, and I'm still waiting to hear back on that. It's the first claim we've had to make on a car in over 10 years.

We've been having trouble with Savannah (your typical middle child!) and schoolwork. Her science teacher yelled at me because she's not doing her homework...well she is doing it, but not turning it in for some reason. She's struggling in other classes too, and I keep getting the run around from the school...it's already time for report cards, and they've changed 3 of her teachers again in the past week. We decided it was time to try something different, so today we had an interview with a private school, where she'll start tomorrow. I spent the afternoon chasing after uniforms and withdrawing her from public school. I did get lucky on the uniforms, the local store that used to carry them before the school went to another company had the shorts on clearance. The price tag said 50% off, and I was happy with that. When I got to the register they were marked down again, and the total cost was $2.40. Needless to say I bought 3 pairs! Then it was off to get more school supplies.

Now I'm home for an hour, tonight is a quick dinner (Jay's working!) for the girls and then it's back on the road again to take Rebecca to gymnastics. I'm glad Marissa can drive herself to dance, even in her injured car. I probably won't get a chance to sit down and relax until the younger 2 go to bed. I can already hear that glass of wine calling my name, can't you?

When it rains it poors, doesn't it?

Ok.. here is so more Disney customs from our trip... I'll get them all posted someday... hahaha

Jessica did the appliques for me, but I did the actual construction of the outfits...
So sad that they wore them for a day only... we will not get a chance to wear them again.

 

[mom2rtk]

This costume is stunning. We just returned from Disney yesterday and I saw nothing of this calibre there over the weekend. You are very talented. And your daughter is just the perfect model...beautiful!

You are very sweet. Thank you! I wish we were BACK at Disney.... It's only been a month, but I'm going through major withdrawal here! I hope you had a great trip!

hi everyone, just sitting here on the couch with my poor little guy. he just got swabbed and he has THE FLU! so waiting for tamiflu for him, the pharmacist needs a couple of hours.everyone else needs it too. if you can we can use some prayers, he is pre asthmatic and we are going to put him on the nebulizer trying to prevent the whole lung issue, and we are trying to keep his sister away , because she is scheduled to have eye surgery next week and she cant be sick. oh and they are both supposed to be in a wedding SATURDAY!!!!

teresajoy-- here is my very embarrassing story, i was in 5th grade and assembly day and gym day happened to be on the same day. now back in 1980something you had to wear a dress for assembly. so i had this adorable pink sweater dress that i had to wear. my mother was very afraid i would give the boys a show in that dress so she told me to put some shorts underneath. the only shorts that i could find in the winter had a zebra pattern. so needless to say in a game of basketball (which by the way i was absolutely horrific at and still am) my skirt came up and the boy i thought was so cute saw my zebra shorts quickly and thought they were my undies. i was called zebra butt for quite a while. needless to say i avoid animal prints now.

 

[mom2rtk]

By the way, I have not had much time for posting, but have loved seeing everyone's costumes!

Charlinn --- Very pretty Belle gown! I hope you can find Belle in her yellow at Disneyland for some very memorable photos!

Jham --- The Sally costume is AMAZING! Great job, and what a stunning daughter (It shines right through the makeup!!)

Marah -- Great costumes all around! I love the family theming, and I LOVE the flappers, especially that photo of them laughing it up!

 

[mom2rtk]

Try Carbona. You get it in JoAnne fabrics or the grocery store.

http://www.carbona.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=19

I had milldew ALL OVER a dress I made. I soaked it in carbona, a couple of times, and it almost all came out. I think this stuff works great.



This is so much fun!! I'm going to have to try this.

I second that! The keep almost the entire carbona line on hand!

On our first day at DHS, Katie had on her new satin Belle gown. Before we even entered the park, she had leaned on one of the entry gates. It had rained the night before and when she stepped back, the front of that satin gown was coated in rust!!! I was screaming inside, but kept cool. If I make a big deal about the gowns, she probably won't want to wear them any more.....I grabbed for the Tide to Go, which did nothing on the rust.... didn't even budge it.....

My husband was meeting us the next day, so I called to have him bring my Carbona rust treater...... Long story short.... the dress is like new again! YEAH! I wasn't sure he'd get on the plane with in in his carry-on, but he said they didn't bat an eye!

I'm seriously buying stock in that company......

You ladies will love this one...

As the facebook crew knows, my Asthma Diva Hannah had a really rough weekend. (We found out today she has H1N1)

So last night, she wants to curl up on mommy's lap and...get this...LOOK AT CUSTOMS!

She actually "designed" an outfit in her head from looking at some others- one that's totally hers that she wants for our trip.

See, when I say she's a diva, I mean it! Even with the flu she's thinking style!!

I have PE 7 and it's been awhile since I used it but if I remember correctly, you click File then the file picture to upload. Are you in Layout and editing? In case you're interested, there's this woman from England named Sue Lough who has the BEST tutorials. She's doing 1 right now on PE 8. If I'm not mistaken, you join her yahoo group-Memories in Thread---http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/memoriesinthread/. Then she has a link to her new group for PE 8. Even if there's a charge, she's worth every penny. Sue takes you step by step through the design process. Good Luck.

Your outfits are really great! You clearly y put a lot of work and love into them!
I especially love the tiered top you made for your younger granddaughter. Did you use a pattern? I've been looking for a top with that neckline/"sleeve" combo!

Just finished this outfit for the Big Give for a baby -

KAREN- I thought of you while out shopping today! I found sock monkey fabric. You know how I feel about sock monkeys, but since they reminded me of you, it made me smile!

Do you think Belle will be in a xmas themed gown?? Oh crap...I had not thought of that!!! ugh!!

I don't know about D-Land, but in the World, she's still in her yellow. It's a big deal to meet her in her Christmas gown, and that's only at MVMCP. So I think you'll be fine!

 

[Tanzanite]

Do you think Belle will be in a xmas themed gown?? Oh crap...I had not thought of that!!! ugh!!
