CastleCreations - I like your avatar. Brett was the cruise director when we were on the Wonder a couple years ago. I loved his voice.
Off to finish packing.
What a beautiful feliz! And I agree with your dd - you gotta have the twirl shot! She is going to be the hit of both parties!front:

and by DD's request, the obligatory "action twirl" shot:
The raglan is great, but your dd just looks so happy in that simply sweet! Love her expression - what a cutie!
I LOVE your precious/scallopini combo idea! It will look great!OK, I found these 2 fabrics for my dds Easter dresses. What popped in my head when I saw them was CarlaC's precious dress for the top & attach the scallopini skirt for the bottom part--with the pink for the main dress & yellow peaking out below the scallops. What do you think? Is this doable? Anyone have a better suggestion? I have ALL of Carla's kids patterns & the vida.
Here are my creations over the last month with my new machine:
Can you see Daisy on the flowered shirt?
I made these for a friend who was going for the first time:
I made these for a big give:
I don't have much time today so I am going to just say everything posted is absolutely gorgeous!!! You ladies are so talented, and thank you for giving me the push I need to try new patterns and ideas!
I also wanted let you all know that since getting our sweet dog, Biscuit, we have gotten 3 solid nights of sleep. Samuel has not had a night terror or even a bad dream since we got her. She flies up the stairs with him for bedtime every night. I know it has only been 3 nights, but it has been three blissful nights of sleep for us! I will try and get a picture of her up sometime this week. She will look better when we can give her a real bath after the stitches come out Saturday morning.

Almost forgot...I meant to post this pic here too after doing it on the Big Give site, and my internet was acting up and I forgot until now. This is a trial run, just for fun dress for Ali...the buttonhole on the side is for her G-tube to exit and run around to a backpack. Her mom said she loves dresses, but can't usually wear them. I wanted to do a test to see if this works, so this is some fabric I had in my stash. It met with the approval of my 4yo, who really didn't want to give it up! LOL The dress is a bit shorter now, the requested length was 12", and I read 21", oops!
Rebecca modelling Ali's dress...Ali loves animals, and mom says her favorites change often, this print had so many, I thought it would work. I'm just waiting for the address, and I'll mail it tomorrow!
Shoot! I was hoping to see you guys again!
We were holding off (well not really bought supplies already) waiting for a local organization to get approved to be a location. That fell through.... So I was fretting because I will have to search again and figure out something....
So now I sit here with fleece to make blankets and I can't find anyplace that will do it locally via email and mail. If I sign up for another location I am out the fleece money.
If anyone can share their location that would accept a mail in I would be so appreciative.
Piper- love the outfit!
OK, finally got over myself enough to take pics of the Alice Feliz this morning: it was a little challenging, because I wanted something both for the movie and the tea party; so it couldn't be too cartoonish, or too "out there" because it would have been "off" for the other event. I finally found some great fabric based on the illustrations from the original book. Figured that would work for both: so......

and by DD's request, the obligatory "action twirl" shot:
(please excuse the one serger thread hanging; I had her still and just need to thread it through the stitches, but wouldn't have been able to keep her in one place long enough- its fixed now LOL)
I'd planned on doing her hair in high bun piggies w/ raggy bows in the fabric, but now that's out; so I'm trying to figure that out- I'm open to ideas if anyone has em- Thanks!
Finished up a Stitch outfit for Ella last night. I hope we get to meet him again this trip - he was so fun with Caleb last time! Ella wasn't really into meeting anyone but princesses last time, but she seems excited to meet some more characters this time.

Closeup of Stitch - this is a Frou Frou by HeatherSue design - stitched out great!
Closeup of fabric - it's a Japanese print that I bought from one of those sites that we don't talk about.
Working on a Wall-E bowling shirt for C and a Vida for E, but we are getting a snow/ice mixture here right now and our power has flickered a couple of times already this am. Hopefully we won't fully lose our power so that a) we can still have heat and b) so that I can sew today!
and managed to get a lot done! Glad you could find Daisy. When we found that flowered shirt, DH said it needed Daisy on it.
Piper- love the outfit!

This is Carla's newest pattern which is so easy! I wish I hadn't used the stripes for the upper ruffle but Megan loves it so I guess it's ok.
Can't wait until it's warm enough to wear it without a long sleeved shirt!
Sorry I haven't been keeping up as much as I like. I have been reading and admiring everything and praying for those who need it.
