Could you please pray it's nothing? I can't get in for more films/ultrasound until the 25th.
I know that it could be nothing, and I'm trying not to let me mind go there, but.....
I've been stressed beyond belief this year. Our oldest is having a VERY difficult year. My doctor put me on antidepressants a few weeks ago to help cope with dealing with him.
DH is traveling like crazy; in fact, he's gone now. We have ZERO family support. We're an hour away from our church family. I'm just feeling very alone and vulnerable.
It didn't help that when the hospital put me on hold, the song playing was, "I Beg Your Pardon; I didn't Promise You a Rose Garden." I haven't heard that song in probably 30 years. I hope it wasn't a bad omen.
I can't wait to show off my dresses when we get back...so watch out on Wed night!
Praying for you - whew what a time you are having...
Has anyone ever tried to do a Carla C pattern with a 9 year old helping you? One of my patients is going to Disney in January for a once in a lifetime trip (not make a wish though, her disorder is not considered life threatening) and i was wondering if you all thought I could help her (she has severe learning disability, seizure disorder, possible CP and other issues) maybe make a Molly top or something???? Thoughts? I just cant stand the thought of a little kiddo going without a custom now!! See what you guys have done to me!!! lol!!!![]()
Thank you all for your compliments on my outfits!! I have been having so much fun lately, I just wish I could quit my job and do this full time!!!
I have to tell you I am so excited! I have been doing small boutiques here and there showing my sets and some other things that I make with some success (not a ton), and today a friend took one of my applique'd T's (with Mickey with the Santa Hat) to her daughters dance class (they are going to DL in December as a class - they get to perform on main street). She called me and the owner wants all the kids to wear the shirt that I created! There are 21 kids. This is my biggest order ever!!! And most of the moms are ordering one for themselves and the siblings.
They are going to turn in the rest of the orders by next Saturday, but I have orders for 10 of them already!! OMG...I am so amazed that they love them!!!
I guess when you create things, you just hope people love them, but I am really hard on myself.
They have beautiful dresses that they are wearing for the parade, but while they are in Disneyland the rest of the day, they will all be wearing my shirts!!! OMG!!! Sorry...just had to share!
Thanks again for all your support and encouragement...it means the world!
I am finally all caught up and I have loved everything posted. I need to upload my pictures from my trip. We got back Wednesday evening and I have been busy busy busy ever since we came home.
I hope to get a minute or two tomorrow to post some pictures of our trip.
I should just say that the Halloween party was so much fun!!! We loved it, even thought we were sweating like crazy it was so hot that evening.![]()
Hi Wendy, Yes, we are bringing our box to Jackson with us and just dropping it off there. It would be faster that way. Wendy, you are so nice to think of that client. Let me know what I can do to help. I am on a very strict budget until I get the machine paid for but I will do what I can.
He causes a lot of trouble, but even I couldn't blame him for that one!
Remember, this is his innocent face...

Hey y'all, guess what I found at Hancocks last night- and at 50% off too

it's the first Tiana fabric I've seen, I was so excited! Of course, DD has decided she thinks she's too old for it, but I figure somebody going on a wish trip will love it! Just wanted to let y'all know it's out there!
Ok, so not sewing related but I'm about to loose my MIND!!!!
My loved 3yr old is physically and mentally wearing me down.She is WILD!!!!!! We finally have her in speech twice a wk for 20min. Don't know how it will be going, apparently she is all nasal speech. So surgery may have to happen.

Mary Ann, My prayers are with you!!
Here is the Minnie Xmas Dress/Top I made for my daughter for our trip to DL in 2 weeks (from today). Yay!!! OMG...I have a couple more outfits to do...for her and for two other little ones that are coming with another family! Nothing like waiting till the last minute. Oh, and something else I recently did (not disney).
I couldn't remember if I posted this Belle Pic - It is my FAVORITE!!!

This site has instructions for beaded bobby pins using beads and wire you wrap around the bobby pin -- hopefully you could do the same on a hair clip.Does anyone know how to make beaded/jewled snap clips or have instructions they would be willing to share with me? My dd 7 is officially too old for hairbowsand is growing out her bangs, so I am looking for a way to spice up the snap clips that she is wearing to hold them back. I would like to wrap them with swarovski crystals or cats eye beads. I know they have directions on YCMT.com but I would have to buy a package of mulitiple bow instructions and I already have all of those, just not the one I need!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
If she is drinking constantly she needs to be checked for diabetes. Has she had a blood sugar test done? High and low blood sugars could account for some of the mood swings.Ok, so not sewing related but I'm about to loose my MIND!!!!

So surgery may have to happen. What is new is her behavior. She has been having these mood swings and now she can be so sweet and then very hateful. Like ANGRY!!!!
I feel like my pediatricain blows me off when I try to talk to her about anything. I have also been asking about the issue of her drinking ALOTTTTT. The kid would be happy to have water all the time. As long as her cup is full.
I'm just ready to pull my hair. I have no idea on what else to do with her. She is up right now, she was just throwing a major fit and sounding so HATEFUL in her room. I have her up to just hold her for a little bit. Sorry to vent, I'm just ready to pull my hair out. No one else really knows what i'm going through and it's tough!!!!
Ok, back to all of the wonderfull customs. I need to go look for some ao the princess T's fabric.![]()

Hi guys,
Well, I just played around with my new designs on some dish towels and I have to tell you, I heart Heathers Designs. They are so cute! I wanted to do this instead of the cake (which turned out pretty good -black light was actually pretty neat!).
So, here they are, I don't really know how to use the emb machine, but these turned out really nice.![]()

Please excuse the crappy photo - I have to get a camera - I have been using my Handycam and it's not good at stills. Ugh....
I LOVE these tutus. I really want to do a few tutus as Christmas gifts this year... it seems like all of my friends have toddler girls... I downloaded the free filled tutu pattern but I really like these styles as well - they are so cute.
So just wondering where you two got patterns from? Did you make it up? How did you add the embellishments at the bottom and such. If either of you could point me in the right direction I would love it - thanks!!

Question if you have ever made pj's for you kids:
I bought some flannel and fleece to make some pj's for my dd's but when I went to cut out the flannel it had on the side that it wasn't for children's pajamas. I know it is because it isn't fire retardant fabric. Is something you ever worry about?
