Disboutiquers Part 18 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[HeatherSue]

Is anyone willing to share with me how much a DVC actually costs per year (with maintenance fees and all), say if you get 1 week/year? I'm very curious about it, especially as often as I've been going down there this year!

We all started somewhere! It's a very cute little binky clip! Plus, you sewed by hand, so that's even more impressive!

MY 2 yr old wrote on my Babylock - LCD screen & all!wiTH A SHARPIE!I got the stuff off the screen using a babywipe but I can't get it off the rest. I tried windex which I knew wouldn't work but I tried anyway. The babywipe actually lightened it but it is not gone. Any ideas?

At first I thought I read that your 27 year old wrote on your Babylock! I'm glad to see it was your 2 year old!

I sure hope it comes off!!

We stay at the Beach Club Villas because you can walk to Epcot and we like to do that in the evening after we take a break for the pool. The pool is very cool too, even though it has the vortex of death in it.

The vortex of death gets me every time!

Goop off, it will take up sharpie but check on a small location first to see if it will be ok on the plastic. So sorry that happen. DS cut my electric cord to my machine with scissors and then said he didn't.

Oh my gosh!! I'm glad he didn't electrocute himself! I bet you weren't too pleased!!

Last post I promise.
This is my first Feliz and I made two matching ones. Each dress has 6 princesses on it with a total of 87,306 stitches. The light blue is sparkely.

awesome!!!!!!!!

froggy3- I LOVED your mini trippie!! outfits are cu-oooo---te!
is that a children's corner pattern i see?


HeatherSue- I will PM you with DVC info

 

[karamat]

Thanks for all the compliments on Megan's outfits! I couldn't have done it without all the support and inspiration here!!!

I recognize that zebra! Such wonderful pictures! It looks like you had a great time!

I love that Zebra! He stitched out so well!

Cute shirts. And I love the little people nativity set - I've been wanting one of those.

I hope I kept the right picture! The one of your daughter at Epcot is SOOOOO adorable!!! I love all her outfits!

I also just got the new Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy Wii game and so far I am unimpressed with it. there is a camera that is suppose to scan you to make sure you are doing the moves right, but even when it seems like we are doing it exactly like it shows, it keeps telling us we are doing it wrong! It's mighty annoying! Plus, the exercises are pretty boring! Nothing fun like Wii Fit! I'm glad I didn't pay for this, I got it free from House Party.

Thanks! That shot is probably my favorite of all the ones I shot over the week.

I was thinking about getting that Jenny McCarthy one - glad to hear the review of it before I bought!

Totally not Disney related, but I need to share it anyhow.
Here's Hannah at her birthday party.

Her dress is a little more loud than I imagined it to be.. lol. You could definitely spot her in a crowd wearing it. I love that fabric, but I think I should have maybe used less of it!
I lost my multi quote, so I'll have to go back over.

So Cute!!

Omgosh! She looks soooo cute in all her customs. I love the Epcot pic the best I think. I think Snow White is still my favorite. That is such a cute idea! Great picture of you guys with Alice too. Where do you find Marie?? She is sooo pretty! I need to find her when we go!

Marie was in France. We had just seen Alice (and missed Mary Poppins by minutes) and were headed for a diaper change when I saw Marie - diaper change had to wait DD has Marie shirt that the LOVES so I thought she'd like seeing the character.

well - the cost of DVC a year depends on the amt of points you buy. --- we have 400 points --200 @ BLT & 200 @ AKKV. Our payments get taken out automatically every month. Member fees for us are about $94/month but they also depend on not just how many points but where your "home" is. The amt of the actual points will also vary depending on where & how many points also. It is a lot of research first. the points charts and the website are very informative also is DVCNews.com Our DVC payment will basicaly take the place of DH truck payment in May(If that gives you a general idea) which is when the truck will be ours completely. yea! I will try cleaning my machine later - thank you to all the suggestions I was thinking about the magic eraser too. I do have softscrub also. I was mostly worried about the LCD screen but that came off already so I am breathing a little easier. Now back to my 3rd & final feliz (which is mostly put together - thankfully) and then 3 nightgowns before I can go to bed........... at least all but one gift certificate is bought and only a few things left to wrap. One T-shirt to make tomorrow too.(hopefully) Ok back to work....

I am tired just reading what you still have to do tonight. Can't wait to see the felize pics.

Hi All! I am so far behind you all probably forgot all about me...

Love everything! you all are simply amazing!

To all my disboutique friends with DVC, which DVC resort is your favorite and why? We are coming into a little bit of money and want to buy a vacation club, maybe 200 points somewhere but unsure which resort. I'm sure we will buy a resale but really want to research and ask questions before I commit !!! And I am going to be sure to save enough to buy my embroidery machine, and after I get started on my new machine I'm sure heathersue will become my new best friend, I love all of her designs !!! !!!!!

We have 200 points at AKLV and we LOVE it so much! I honestly can't imagine staying anywhere else. We have only either stayed at SSR or AKLV. SSR is very nice but I just love AKLV. When we where thinking of buying our guide told us to buy at the resort you would like to stay at the most. So we did and it works for us.
Being on the monarail wasn't a big thing for us.

My Mom just bought me the Wii Fit Plus (I've had the regular one for over a year too) and I LOOOOOVE IT!!! It is a lot of fun. I really like being able to design a routine all at once and then you don't have to stop after every exercise to pick something. It just flows better. I do wish you could skip the trainers "advice" that would make it even bettter! But, I really love the new games on it!

I also just got the new Your Shape featuring Jenny McCarthy Wii game and so far I am unimpressed with it. there is a camera that is suppose to scan you to make sure you are doing the moves right, but even when it seems like we are doing it exactly like it shows, it keeps telling us we are doing it wrong! It's mighty annoying! Plus, the exercises are pretty boring! Nothing fun like Wii Fit! I'm glad I didn't pay for this, I got it free from House Party.

I am getting your shape for Christmas and I was hoping it was good. Now I am sad Oh well I guess they had a good marketing department!

I got this today! Lin brought in the box and was asking what I got from house party! I had NO idea and was super surprised and excited until I just read this although looking at the box I was getting less excited. I am sure I'll still like the fit better.

I hope it is better then you are thinking.

 

[momtoprincess A]

Wow, the vida with the snowman looks great! I can't believe that was your first applique!! GREAT job! Is your son's shirt appliqued, too? That looks like a really complicated one, if it is! The heating bags are a great gift idea. I'd love to have one of those! Love the picture of the kids with the stockings! One of these years I'll make my kids their own personalized stockings....maybe...The white dress looks like it's beautiful! BUT, we NEED bigger pictures next time!!! We all love to see big pictures!

Yes his shirt is appliqued ~ but I cheated and used paint.
Here are some bigger pics for you. I hope I didn't make them too big.

The dress is Carla's precious dress pattern. I put a tulle with gold circles over the skirt and gathered it like Belle's with the flower and ribbon sewn on.

 

[teresajoy]

Totally not Disney related, but I need to share it anyhow.

.

I don't think the dress looks loud at all. It is really cute! I love the picture of her and her little violin!

(We have that Barbie house too!)

Thank you all again for the support in the loss of my brother.

How are you doing?

So cute! I love the smocked insert. I love her with the violin, she looks so grown up! Here is a closer pic:

Those are two adorable kids! Megan's hair looks so pretty!

Well, I made the binky clip. I know this doesn't near compare to everyone else's projects, but this is the first thing I've sewed for DD and I was quite pleased with how it came out considering I sewed it by hand (which I've never thought I was good at doing).

Good job!!! It's cute!

The pool is very cool too, even though it has the vortex of death in it.

You are so right about that vortex of death! I make the kids walk WAAAAY around it when we go by!

Is anyone willing to share with me how much a DVC actually costs per year (with maintenance fees and all), say if you get 1 week/year? I'm very curious about it, especially as often as I've been going down there this year!

I got literature about DVC before and was shocked at how much it was!

Thanks! That shot is probably my favorite of all the ones I shot over the week.

I was thinking about getting that Jenny McCarthy one - glad to hear the review of it before I bought!

Did you frame that picture? I would!

I was excited about the game, but really disapointed at how it worked, and how annoying it was! I'll try playing it some more and let you guys know if I grow to like it more. I just dread playing it again though!

I am getting your shape for Christmas and I was hoping it was good. Now I am sad Oh well I guess they had a good marketing department!

I hope it is better then you are thinking.

Do you have Wii Fit Plus yet? THAT is fun!

So cute! I love the smocked insert. I love her with the violin, she looks so grown up! Here is a closer pic:

Love it!! It is so elegant. I think it is just perfect. Now I want top CASE it totally.

Hey! When are you going to realize that we veer from the Disney theme quite often around here? I love Hannah's birthday dress! I don't think it's too loud at all. It just looks really pretty! The smocking looks great!!


I just wanted to say that I'm so glad you're finally pain free!!

Thanks!! I am excited to be pain free too. Pelvic pain gone and back pain gone. It is amazing!
Thanks about the dress too. I guess I think it is loud because I tend to use solids instead of prints. I'm glad it isn't as gaudy as some of my family and friends are telling me it is.. I do love it though.

I love her dress!!! Happy Birthday, Hannah!!!

Thanks!

Congrats on your first project. Now are you itching to make something else?? It looks great btw.

MY 2 yr old wrote on my Babylock - LCD screen & all!wiTH A SHARPIE!I got the stuff off the screen using a babywipe but I can't get it off the rest. I tried windex which I knew wouldn't work but I tried anyway. The babywipe actually lightened it but it is not gone. Any ideas?

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gasped when I read this. Glad to know you got it off the lcd!!

Gorgeous! I don't think it's too loud at all, I love it!

Thanks!

Marie was in France. We had just seen Alice (and missed Mary Poppins by minutes) and were headed for a diaper change when I saw Marie - diaper change had to wait DD has Marie shirt that the LOVES so I thought she'd like seeing the character.

Haha.. yes definitely worth making the diaper change wait. Such a cute picture/story.

I don't think the dress looks loud at all. It is really cute! I love the picture of her and her little violin!

(We have that Barbie house too!)

Thanks! Her daddy plays the violin, so we decided to get her one. Hopefully she can learn to use it. I LOVE that picture too.
We set up the dollhouse and she just sat there staring at it. It took me a while to realize that she had no idea how to play dolls in the dollhouse. She's got the hang of it now though. She just keeps asking for more furniture now. haha

Someone asked about where I got the fabric for Hannah's birthday dress, and I don't remember where it was at.. thought it was facebook, but I can't find the comment now. Anywho.. I got it on ebay, and it is OOP. The selvage says something like "Susie Muse" which i have never heard of. Let me know if you want me to find the selvage info for you. I just love the print.. it has a dog birthday theme. Hopefully whoever asked sees this!

 

[minnie2]

Do you have Wii Fit Plus yet? THAT is fun!
.

No not yet. I have just started feeling well enough to even consider working out. My RA has been really bad. Some days I can barely walk my hips hurt I walk like I am 9 month pg with triplets at bad times. Though thankfully I feel I can see a light at the end of the tunnel so I wanted to start working out again.

I need go check it out! We have the Wii Active and it is pretty good.

I agree with Teresa! I really love the birthday dress!

(We have that Barbie house too!)


How are you doing?


Those are two adorable kids! Megan's hair looks so pretty!

Jacob looks super cool! His hair is always looking good! I am brining Dallas down to get his hair cut where Jacob goes! Adorable picture of the two of them!



Good job!!! It's cute!



You are so right about that vortex of death! I make the kids walk WAAAAY around it when we go by!

LOL



I got literature about DVC before and was shocked at how much it was!

I just cannot justify the cost either! I guess because I am fine with the values and great deal that to me DVC just doesn't seem like that great of deal. Even if I go moderate I still can't get it to work out ever in my favor that makes me think I want to buy that!


Did you frame that picture? I would!

I was excited about the game, but really disapointed at how it worked, and how annoying it was! I'll try playing it some more and let you guys know if I grow to like it more. I just dread playing it again though!

I have no desire to even open the box now! I know I will but it will be a while. Although I gotta see what date I am supposed to do the party. I got Wii Active over a month ago and still have never opened it and I am super excited about it!


Do you have Wii Fit Plus yet? THAT is fun!

I agree! LOVE this game! I have hardly unlocked anything yet but loved it the few times I played!

Hmm, a bit funny how it is easy to cover everything I wanted to say by replying to Teresa's post!

One T-shirt to make tomorrow too.(hopefully) Ok back to work....

Rubbing alcohol gets it out of customs. Not sure how I would know this. Not like I spent 3 hours getting ink out of a JoJo custom one time and along with that had sharpie on a polo shirt!!

 

[Stephres]

Hmm, a bit funny how it is easy to cover everything I wanted to say by replying to Teresa's post!

You're so funny! The very next day I took him to get it cut because I couldn't stand it!

When we bought into the DVC it seemed like a good deal for what we wanted: more room than a standard hotel room on property. It seems like they doubled in price per point since then, though.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

DVC are purchased by point and by resort. Vero has the lowest fees and I don't know who has the highest maintenance fees. The fees are charged at price per point. I pay about $900 per year in MF for 190 points at OKW. I bought resale but when it was at a high price. There are bargains to be had now!!!

In a year with my points I can stay in a 1 br for about a week for 1 trip or stay in a studio and go twice in a year.

There are ways to get more. I banked points the past two years planning on having bigger trips this year. The first years I borrowed to get more trips. There is borrow, bank, holding, etc.

How much does a DVC cost? Check the DVC board and go to the resale sponsor. I paid what I was willing to pay at the time. I didn't finance my DVC so I just make my years fees in Jan.

I made my first bowling shirt out of a pillow case. It came out well and I do like the fabric combinations.

Looks great April. Hunter is going to love it. I see you didn't line it either. Ty doesn't like his lined, so I always make mine like this now.

That turned out just wonderful!! Great choice in fabrics!

Those are the perfect sized pictures!!! Thank you! I love the applique on your son's shirt! That is so cute! Your daughter's dress is beautiful! Tessa even said it was gorgeous! So is your daughter, BTW.

That is great, April!! Is that for Hunter? VERY cool!
