Prayers for everyone who needs them.

Did anyone watch Cake Boss tonight. He was at Disney World with his family. It was so irritating because everytime he said Disney it sounded like he was putting an e in the middle, Diseney. Then he made a cake of the castle and princesses for his daughter and he kept saying he made all the princesses but he only made Ariel, Mulan, Jasmine, and Belle. What about Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella it's her castle after all and you couldn't make them. I guess I'm just too into Disney and notice the details.

I think he said he was making his daughter's favorite princesses. I guess the fab 3 didn't make the cut!! That cake was stunning though!

Looking for those who live in Oregon. It looks like we are moving! to Bend, Oregon! About 3000 miles away from home and family! We are excited but scared. Dh has to be there in 3 weeks! AHHH!! We need to find a rental until we sell our house. Any suggestions on the best way to move? I was just thinking of renting a uhaul and taking a week to drive, but I am a little scared of driving over mountains with a truck and a car trailing behind!

Yikes, that is a big move. You might look into getting one of those PODS. Other companies have them too but can't think of their names. Basically it is movable storage unit. It looks like a trailer that would get pulled behind a truck. You can fill it yourselves and have it delivered where you want, when you want. They will store it for you and I think you can also arrange for them to pack it and unpack it for you (for an additional cost).

Good luck with the move.

PODS is a great idea. We used one while we were building our house. We had to live in an apartment for a year after we sold our old house but the new one was delayed. All our things came out of the POD into the new house with no damage.

Nicole..prayers for your dad and your whole family.

WHAT! What do you mean you are moving....I mean in the last 2 years we have not figured out a way to have lunch!!!! Come on!!! I need more time!

But we really should have lunch before you up and move so far away...aren't there a few others of us Disboutiquers in the area? Maybe we could all meet for lunch and have a mini-meet minus the Disney...it really would be more fun at Disney....but we could get together and have lunch? Think about it....and see if you think you would have time....I know how getting ready for a move can be!



Thanks for all the prayers everyone. I did talk to DH last night....I think it kinda scared him too at first, but I told him to just relax, there is no need to worry until we know something for sure. I also called my DR's office and talked to the head nurse...she is keeping an eye out for any cancellations too and will call me. I don't want to go in on a short appointment because I don't want my DR to feel rushed. I feel more relaxed today...maybe it is just talking to DH...who knows.


Nicole...prayers for you too!

Hi all. Been busy lurking & sewing. Everything I have seen has been so adorable. I am going to try to comment more often.
I did manage to get Valentines outfits done for my girls & Sierra's bday outfit (she just turned 7). Here are a few peeks at them:
Sierra's outfit (she is my cupcake cutie)

Morgan's valentines outfit

Sierra's bday outfit had to be Pinkalicious:

These are just too cute!!!! I love it. Pinkalicious is adorable! Is that Heathersue's emb. design?

I posted these outfits a few weeks ago but finally got some action shots of her in them so I wanted to share....
My DGD5 in her twirl skirt and shirt I made her for her birthday present.

Beautiful! The girl and the outfit!!!

Sorry I posted and then didn't respond sooner. I live where some of the big snow hit from this weekend. Our internet/phone was out. Or so I thought. Turns out the kids were playing hide-n-go-seek and knocked the plug out of the wall. And here I was blaming the 2 feet of snow outside!

Anyway, thanks for the responses to my leotard question. Unfortunately, the responses I received were for leggings! See what happens when you ladies speed read? Seriously, though, thanks for trying to help me. Now, does anyone have a pattern for leotards that they like? As I mentioned before, I usually use the You Can Make This patterns.

Thanks!
Chantell

At least I answered you. Sorry for my mix-up. Lyddie's been really sick for over a week, so I guess my brain wasn't thinking properly. When I was little, we always called those bodysuits, and my friend always called tights leotards. I must have reverted to childhood thinking momentarily! I'm glad to see other people have given you so many good ideas! (you know, that was my plan to begin with, answer you wrong, because I had no clue, just so you'd have to post again and then people would help you. yep, it was all part of my grand scheme.....)

Is it just me? (I'm sure it is!) I cannot get into the Big Give.I keep getting an error message telling me the email address I am supplying isn't recognized. Sheesh!

It is probably just my computer...we aren't getting along right now. It heard I was getting a new toy and has refused to cooperate this weekend!


Oh well!

Nini, make sure you are capitalizing NiniMorris when you login. Everything is case sensitive.

THANK YOU ALL so much for the comments about the pillow Katie made....it really made her day to read all that you guys had to say! She was smiling from ear to ear!




Now....I am going to ask for some very vague prayers....I don't want to go into detail right now, but lets just say I am waiting on a doctor's appoinment to confirm some stuff...and I am a little scared. My appoinment is not until March 8...that is what they think....I will keep bugging my DR's office until it gets moved up! I am trying to keep positive that nothing is really wrong....I don't even want to bring it up to DH until I know for sure...so all of you just pray for sanity for me in the mean time!

I'm so happy that Katie (and you) were pleased with the compliments!! You both deserved them.

I will be praying for you Kim.

Sorry I haven't been here; things have been difficult with my dad. His amputation was Fri. morning, but they couldn't schedule it ahead of time so I wasn't able to be there. Fri. night his duodenum perforated and he had to have another emergency surgery. He's back in ICU, restrained again because the meds are making him try to pull everything out again, and we're praying for healing, pain relief, and for no infection to set in to the abdomen.

I'm so sorry for the complications. I hope everything gets cleared up and he recovers quickly.

I am finally getting around to posting some of the things I made for our November trip. These were the first customs and appliques that I ever made, I think these might have been the first clothing items I have ever made for my kids! Thanks for all your inspiration and advice (especially HeatherSue's applique tutorial and CarlaC's patterns).

I also made my daughter some matching scrunchies and korker bows for her hair that you can see in some of the pictures.

Ariel skirt and shirt. My daughter wore this to MK for a visit with Ariel

A princess themed twirl skirt and with a shirt that had an iron on T-shirt transfer (I bought these transfers from the Disney store, on clearance, about 2 years ago for our last trip). My daughter wore this to our princess breakfast in Epcot:

WOW!!! Really, WOW!!! These outfits are simply fabulous!!!

I have been able to find time to sew about once a week, so I'm getting some things done, slowly but surely. Had to take a break around Christmas, so my sewing room could be a guest room. My flannel easy fits for adults were a hit, with some family members wondering how I got them to fit so well. (secret: Carla C's height charts) Here's what I've done lately.

.

I love the bowling shirt! I really love that fabric. Everything is so cute! Including the kids!

My GD2 just saw all the fabric I had bought for my two big give dresses. She picked out her favorite and asked me when I was cutting her dress out!

Good thing I'm heading back to Joann's after therapy today! (I mean its not like I never make her anything. We have 16 dresses for Disney comming up and an Easter dress, a Valentine's dress, a birthday dress....what more does swhe want!!!???!!!)

She is so cute though, at church yesterday someone commented on her pretty dress. Her comment? "It's not a pretty dress Mama only bought it!"...evidently, only Grandma can make pretty dresses!

Nini

Oh, how sweet!

Hi everyone! It's your long lost friend here!
Anyway, DS wants to do his room in EPCOT theme and wondered if anyone had any fabric ideas. I know you all are up to date with what is out there right now. I did see this Alexander Henry stuff that is pretty cute. My DS is 4.5yo now so, I don't want to be too cutesy.

Hey stranger, where are your cool socks?

I wanted to share Olivia in her 100 days of school dress.

Olivia wears a uniform at school but they get free dress coupons for good behavior or meeting goals. On Friday Olivia tells me that she has been saving her free dress coupon for the 100th day because she was going to wear a special dress.

When I asked what special dress she replied "a pretty special school dress." Luckily Auntie Darla brought over this extra special school dress on Sunday.

Precious!!! YAY for Auntie Darla!!!

Anita- LOVE those outifts! DD3 loves the twirly skirt and I love the precious dress on the little one!

Nicole- I am praying for you, your family and your Dad. What's up with us Nicole's and our Dads?




Prayers please...My Dad is having a really rough time. His cancer is progressing much faster than the Drs anticipated. It has cause more bone deterioration and his pain was paralyzing earlier last week, he thought he had finished his chemo for now and could have a break, he had an unplanned blood transfusion due to severe enemia, another dose of chemo, and a zometa treatment. Only to get a call that he went to the ER Saturday night and was kept overnight. They wanted to keep him thru to today, but he preferred to go home and take the drug orally (versus intravenus).
They have plans to leave for Florida (he is always cold and the milder temps will help) For 2 months!! he had planned to leave Thursday, but may be bumped to Friday or Saturday.

I'm so sad they are leaving for 2 months. I live an hour and 45 min from them, but I try to see them when I can.
I worry how he will manage- he is insisting on driving there and back.
I know I will find peace by trusting God. But it's hard. Mom says, the Doctors say maybe 6 months....
She is such a mess, there is all this other stuff going on between the 2 of them to complicate things even more. Talking to her is sometimes worse for me because she tends to talk and talk and dump all this emotional stuff on me.

Sorry for this long email. Help me to find comfort and strength in the Lord.

Thanks all

edited to add...TeresaJoy- you can do a search on the bugfabric.com website for kids around the world or Timeless Treasures KIDZ
here is another

Nicole, I was just wondering how your Dad was doing this morning. I'm so sorry things are not going well. I hope the move to Florida will help him to be more comfortable. My prayers are with them and with you. I can't imagine how hard this is for you right now.

Nicole..prayers for your dad and your whole family.

How exciting and slightly frightening!!! I'm glad your husband was able to find a job. That's great!

Yes, I am the worlds biggest nerd...
I'm so excited. I just bought Celtic Woman tickets for my birthday in April. The seats are fantastic.. I'm so excited!!
See...I told you...I'm a nerd. LOL

You might be a "nerd" but we love you Elisa!
And, I would love to see them too!

I'm glad you talked to your husband and you are more relaxed now. I hope they can get you into the doctor soon.

Hey stranger, where are your cool socks?

Ha, ha, I got sick of looking at them and my friend sent me a video of Cary Grant knitting which was just too awesome!




That timeless treasure fabric is SO cute! I love all the little farm animals and the food ones. I just went through my fabric last night and it is pretty bad. I have so much and I don't want to use it. I am just hoarding it. I think I have a problem. I better use some up before I buy anymore. I was thinking of making a disney quilt. I only have leftover minnie dot fabric so I will have to be on the lookout for some cute stuff.

Is it difficult to applique/embroider on a hooded sweatshirt?? Either "by hand" or machine?? Anything special you do?

Thanks! Jessica

You'll LOVE it. I went last year at Wolf Trap and it was wonderful.
I guess I'm a nerd too.

 

[syncsk8mom]

Nini-

As a REPEAT offender of knee surgeries I can tell you from experiance that any pants you make her would be great if they have enough elastic at the ankle to keep the pant leg from riding up the cast. I had 4 knee surgeries in High school and 2 of them required that I wore a cast from my toes to the top of my hip (butt cheek if you will) and my all time favorite pants that I could wear at the time was anything with lose enough ankle elastic. There was nothing worse than messing with my pant legs or wind blowing up there.

and one other thing POCKETS! Because I was on crutched pockets were a MUST!!!

Prayers for your GD.....I hope all goes well!

Hey everyone, I need some help finding a fabric for a my Big Give project.

I am doing rag quilts for Tess and Phoebe and for Phoebe's I can't find a flannel with a horse theme anywere. Do you ladies have any suggestions? I don't know were to look?

I have Tessa's all cut and ready to go and the appliques are going to be done this week, but I have a very specific vision for Phoebe's and I can't find the base fabric.

For Phoebe's I want it to mostly center around horses because her mom tell me that she LOVES to ride. With Heather's help I have the horse applique and I mostly have the mane and tail all worked out and the saddle turned out cool! So phoebe can "feel" the horse. HOWEVER, because I can't find a horse themed print that I like...most of them are just too cowboy I am stumped. I really want to find a horse them flannel that is more show horse jumping kindof look. Has anyone seen this fabric??

I would really appreciate suggestions!

thanks!!

Looking for those who live in Oregon. It looks like we are moving! to Bend, Oregon! About 3000 miles away from home and family! We are excited but scared. Dh has to be there in 3 weeks! AHHH!! We need to find a rental until we sell our house. Any suggestions on the best way to move? I was just thinking of renting a uhaul and taking a week to drive, but I am a little scared of driving over mountains with a truck and a car trailing behind!

Yikes, that is a big move. You might look into getting one of those PODS. Other companies have them too but can't think of their names. Basically it is movable storage unit. It looks like a trailer that would get pulled behind a truck. You can fill it yourselves and have it delivered where you want, when you want. They will store it for you and I think you can also arrange for them to pack it and unpack it for you (for an additional cost).

Good luck with the move.

Glad that your dh found a job...a big move like is always a little scary but exciting at the same time. Will your dh's new company pay for a moving company to pack and move you? Dh's company move us here to Houston, and we didn't have to do a think..the moving company came and pack up all our stuff, and move them. If not, then I agree about using PODS or PACKRAT.

Yes, I am the worlds biggest nerd...
I'm so excited. I just bought Celtic Woman tickets for my birthday in April. The seats are fantastic.. I'm so excited!!
See...I told you...I'm a nerd. LOL

Woo hoo!! Have fun!

Monk's Mom..prayers for you, too! Glad that you had a chance to talk to your husband adn your feel a little more relax. Hopefully your doctor's office will be able to take you in sooner!

OT...So who else is thinking they are going to get slammed with snow tomorrow? I live on Long Island NY (1hr east of NYC) and so far we are hearing 18-24" of snow tomorrow with 30-40 mph winds.
The worst part for me is that we will surely have a snow day tomorrow & school is closed all next week. Doesn't mother nature know mom's don't need a snow day right before a long school break!!

 

[mgmsmommy]

These are just too cute!!!! I love it. Pinkalicious is adorable! Is that Heathersue's emb. design?



.

Thanks. yep I used Heathersue's pinkalicious designs. They are always so easy to use. and the milk carton, cow, cotton candy, & shoe came from lynnie pinnie.

Finally getting ready to post pics of the girls actually wearing the clothes.

It's very easy..I did two for my girls before our last trip.

Everything has been so beautiful. I don't think I'll be keeping caught up this month. We are crazy busy at work this month and I'm feeling the stress already.

 

[angel23321]

ENABLER ALERT!!

Did you know they're coming out with a cricut cake??!?! I was so excited when I found out..I MUST HAVE THIS. LOL. I love making cakes and this would just add to what I can do. I wonder how much it's going to be.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

The reason I can't get much done: Hunter's Kitten.

We went last April. It was a great show, I'd love to see them again.

Ha, ha, I got sick of looking at them and my friend sent me a video of Cary Grant knitting which was just too awesome!

I love that Cary Grant movie. He's so funny learning to knit to try to impress the girl. I learned how to tie a tie from that movie too.

 

[100AcrePrincess]

Loads of cute stuff! I really miss being able to be on here to chat. Prayers for all of you who asked for them.

I haven't been making clothes lately - I've been making dolls. It's been so much fun. After the one I dd3 for Christmas, I had all these ideas in my head & they wouldn't let go. So I've made 3 more now & I still have plans for a couple more. Once I get a few pics taken, I'll share.
