Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

Whenever I buy online, I google the name of the site and the word "coupon" to see if there are any deals out there. In this case, I googled "fabric.com coupon" and what comes up are sites that list coupon codes for various online retailers. It's nice in that you can compare which offer works out best for you and then use the appropriate code.

Thank you so much for that bit of wisdom. I'll certainly do this from now on when shopping online (is there any other way???)
You've helped me out in more ways than one today, and I'm very grateful.
Gretchen

Ok ladies. I can't sleep. I just have to post, type something. My sewing area is not set up yet so I can't do that. Not too much is set up yet. At least I am moved and started to unpack. And have computer hooked up and tv.

Last Thursday was a big day for the trial. (for some of you that dont know, three years ago, after my husband (still ex) left me I was set up with my best friends cousin on a date, he was murdered on our first date for protecting my bff and myself from gang members) I was on the stand for about two hours. Tomorrow is another big day. THe DA is done with me so its time to be eaten alive. They expect me to be on the stand all day probably. Its interesting there is a gag order but yet the news paper is in there and there are at least three different articles in the paper and online daily. if you would like to read about it go to www.pressdemocrat.com and click under the news tab and search for Matthew Toste.

My ulcer is flaring up again. Hmmm wonder why there is?? I am sitting next to a sink full of dishes but yet I just can't find an ounce of energy to wash them. but I can sit and type this. I really need to get some crafty nerdness going because that really helps with my depression when it comes around these things. Normally, I can handle things ok. but man when it rain it pours......and its not even really rainning. Its sunny and bright and warm! ugh, go figure.

Enabler Alert !!!!!
I was just searching around on the computer and found these new Thomas Kinkade Disney fabrics. They have Snow White, Peter Pan and Tink and Pinnochio with coordinating fabrics. Prices weren't to bad, I tried to capture the image, but my computer for some reason won't let me take the image. I was searching fabric.com. Go check them out!!! I just placed a big order, shhhhh, don't tell DH, what he doesn't know won't hurt him

OMG, I don't know if this was post a picture of already, but I would love to see if it there are picturess floating around. I love the paintings he does of the actual park. Heck, I love them all!!!

Don't work I won't tell you hubby. hehehe

Hi everyone. I haven't been able to post much lately. I am working on a couple things that I will post when finished, but I have been getting things ready for our new dog. My oldest son has night terrors so badly he wakes up in a cold sweat so much so that we have to change his clothes, and then he's afraid to go back to sleep. It is awful for him, and it's heart wrenching as a parent! We puppy sat a couple weeks ago, and the whole time the puppy was there, he slept with my son in his bed. My son had no night terrors so we discussed it with our doctor and came to the conclusion he needs a dog to sleep with. We can pick Biscuit up from the animal shelter this morning after the vet checks her stitches and says she can go. (She was fixed earlier this week.) Please pray that the dog will be the catalyst that stops these horrible night terrors from terrorizing my son. My son is only 4 in case anyone is wondering.

Oh Kell, I will keep you in my prayers. I can't imagine having to relive it and go through what you are going through.

I hope the puppy does the world of good for your DS. I love her name! I've been searching on fabric.com this morning and I saw some fabric with the dog Biscuit on it.

To you, I went through night terrors with my DD. They are the worse. I think it is brillant you found out having a dog helps (how I wish that had been a suggestion for us. I would have tried anything). I will pray Biscuit helps your son through this. (Good for you for finding that solution!!!!!)

I am soooo sorry you are having to relive such a tramatic experience....be strong and you will get through it!

Greetings, all

I would like to introduce myself. I actually joined the Big Give board a couple months ago after reading on this board the need for crayon rolls and autograph books. BTW, I just changed my Big Give name and registered on the Dis boards as above H20 because my original name was quite close to another Disboutiquer. Anywhoo. . .

Because I know you're a friendly bunch, I thought I'd tell you what I was doing in order to get my courage up to post here: Practicing. Practicing. Practicing.

1. I made a crayon roll! Teresajoy assured my I couldn't go wrong as long as I didn't sew it shut. Sorry to say, not entirely true.

2. four potholders

3. matching cover for my mixer, with a Mickey head following Heathersue's applique techniques (don't know if it actually counts as a "real" applique, because it was just one piece)

4. bed for the cat, which she loved for about 2 weeks and hasn't slept in for six

5. boxy bag/toiletry bag sample, which I'd eventually like to do as pixie dust for MAW grownups

6. one criss cross coaster - they looked so cool I had to figure out the secret

7. resized a Disneyland Paris sweatshirt to wear to WDW next week

8. after reading so much about Hobby Lobby I found the closest one to me and went there last week. It's 100 miles from me so I went there first, then to a diner from Diner's, Drive-Ins and Dives (foodnetwork), and then the FDR home and presidential library in Hyde Park, NY

9. tote bags for Piper's Big Give

and 10. I Spy bags for Daniels Big Give

Nice to finally meet you.

I think it is normal to feel a little sad about it. Makenna wasn't even pulled out of a school, but when we made that decision I was excited and and sad at the same time. I think it is perfectly normal to in a sense "mourn" the things your child will miss, but they will also gain so much. (I don't know if what I am trying to say is making sense - I know what I want to say, but just can't get it out right. )
That is great that your principal was so kind about it. I so agree...and don't think homeschooling is for everyone. You have to do what is best for your child and for your family.

I wasn't happy with the canned response from walmart either. I am just so sad and frustrated by the whole thing.

Yes, that is exactly how I'm feeling! You explained it well.

Are the rest of you as addicted to the olympics as I am?!

I think so! I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I am!

Heathersue, had night terrors when she was little. It was so frightening to us. I remember our Mom would sit with her until it was over. Arminda had them when she was around 3 or 4 too. Since I had seen so many or them with Heather, I knew what was going on, but it is still upsetting. My SIL was here once when it happened and she (SIL) freaked out. I'm so happy that you have found something that will help!

YAY for you!!!! Look at all the things you've done!! AMAZING!!! Welcome over here Cheryl!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

PrincessKell- Oh wow! I'm so sorry you are reliving this! i remember when your husband split and the turmoil that put you in, I wasnt aware of this next chapter, I can totally relate to being able to write- but not clean when your mind is in a fog. Wish I could give you a hug!!!!! Stay strong. I will be praying for you!

Mom2SamandJames- I hope Biscuit is comfortable sleeping with your son. I know some dogs only want to be with who they percieve the pack leader to be. I wanted to add a suggestion that he feed her (my 3 year old feeds our 2 dogs, makes them sit first, and scoops the food out of a big rubbermaid container, and then releases them to eat "OK") She loves doing it. Then she lets them out, and we remind her to check on them in a couple minutes to let them in. If you have things about Biscuits daily needs that he can take care of, that will help the 2 of them to bond. I'm so excited for you! Please post photos!!! (sleeping ones would be awesome!) LOL. Best wishes on your new venture!!

AboveH2O- WELCOME!WELCOME! How cool that you jumped in to the big gives!!!! You didn't have to change your name, but so glad you finally posted- now don't stop!.

I will post my tshirt and skirt in a minute

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Here is my completed outfit for Megan's friend's Birthday gift. Ally has had a rough year (temps of 105 every week or 2, and has juvenile rumatoid arthritis)

I went with Ariel, since she is having a Princess/Pirate birthday party (at a hotel ..very la-tee-da!) and Ariel is coming to the party.

Tried putting them together on a hanger..
I did removable tulle (loopy side on tulle, hooks on skirt)

Totally botched the shirt (forgot to change bobbin thread, so it was cotton coats n clark, then realized I forgot to change needle to a ballpoint- the top thread would loop, or get lumpy, even had to redo part of her hand because the bobbin thread (which I had changed to a thin, white by then) was coming across design. But it's passable, right?

Okay, this may be a dumb question but how do I put my photos onto carla's fan page of the stuff I have made from her patterns?
