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

[MinnieForMe]

Good Morning all...Just needed somewhere to write this and I know you all are loving an supportive. My dd7 Gianna is having such a hard time and it is breaking my heart. She has been starting to have alot of tics lately and also many OCD type symptoms. We knew this was a possibility as dh has Tourette Syndrome, but it is much rarer for girls to exhibit the symptoms. She is having major issues with clothing, textures etc which makes daily functioning difficult. She is struggling so much with being different, and it is breaking my heart for her. I think the hardest part for me is that she is so aware of what is going on with her. She told me "I know being different makes me special, but I wish I was regular"

She has struggled her whole life, born a preemie, mild CP, sensory issues, PDD it just seems like once she overcomes something another thing pops up for her. If you all could just remember her in your prayers or send a positive though our way I would really appreciate it. I know there are so many people out there with much more serious problems I feel guilty even writing this but I don't have a great family support system and needed to get it off my chest. Thanks!

I'll say a prayer for her! My son has some mild issues and the best thing we did was encourage him to form a circle of wonderful friends. Maybe, it'll only be one friend or two not a group but having a close friend makes you feel accepted and loved. It makes all the difference especially when you get to the middle school age. Don't be afraid to recruit her teacher to help you pick someone who might become a good friend if you don't know anyone yourself.

As far as clothes, is soft better? I'm thinking some of the organic Hanna Andersons. My son has problems with socks. He can't stand seams but it has gotten so much better with age.

Keep the faith! This too will pass and she'll grow stronger and be a more compassionate, wonderful person thanks to the love and support you give her!

Ugh! Lost my quote! Oh well...interesting to hear others have my name. I don't hear it too often! I was only a few days old before my parent's picked it out When I was younger, they called me "Shelli" but now I go by my given name.

Teresa, I thought I read somewhere that your middle name is Joy. Am I right? That's my youngest dd's middle name. She was named after my sister and it fit right in because she was born close to Christmas!

Thanks again for all your prayer it means so much.

Aw this breaks my heart. she is a specail little girl!

I'm here, I found my fullsize pictures, so I will post larger versions of the Disney customs when I am at home (I can't do pictures at work). I'm not sure how the others posted so small to begin with. I must have changed my settings in photobucket accidently.

So my New Years Resolution (one of them at least) is to get over my fear of the serger and actually try to learn how to use it. I got it for Christmas last year and have not used it once. At 1st I was in a huge hurry to finish up some Big Gives I was working on so I didn't take the time to learn it. Then we were putting the house on the market so I didn't have my sewing out much and then we moved and were spending all our time unpacking. Well my excuses are over and I must learn how to use my Serger this year.

Any tips on how to get started?

I say just go for it! It isn't as scary as you think! Granted I was terrified of mine But the lady in the store threaded it and it really didn't seem to hard. When I used it for the 1st time yesterday I was AMAZED at how easy and fast it is!!!!

Lucky for you I don't watch much TV, so I have no clue what those shows are! I just happened to see Dexter once and was absolutely floored that a show like that would be made and watched.

I use to watch Heros, but the spiritistic aspects of it bothered me, so I decided to listen to my conscience!

I have seen True Lies a few times and like the whole concept, but it gets a little violent at times. I like to watch it and then ask the kids questions to see if I can read their signals!!

I'm still praying for your Dad.

thanks!

True Lies is a different show. True Blood is my fav and you would hate it but I still love you !
With Heroes I haven't seen it but I agree go with your conscience, Remember like Gimminy Cricket 'Let your conscience be your guide!'

I should have NOT gone to Joann's....OH MY GOSH!! I just about DIED when I saw all of the disney stuff. They have BEAUTIFUL trims, beaded things and all of these trims with dangly mickey and Minnie heads, tinkerbell, Mermaid...and not just the characters...it's unreal... I wanted ALL of it!

 

[froggy33]

I just signed up for this!! But I have questions and you all would be a great help! For those of you doing this, it says they just want single layer, with fringe down the side. I have only ever made the kind that you put two layers together, cut the fringe, and then tie them together. How exactly do they want them made?? Just a 45X60 rectangle with fringe down the 2 long sides?? That seams way to easy and not as warm.? I know the lady could probably answer my question when she gets back with me, but I was just interest and a little confused. Thanks for your help!

Congrats on the new niece....pictures??

Well, since you asked....here is a photo of my new niece Kendall Brooke. She was born conveniently the day after we arrived for our Christmas visit on Dec 21st. She is a cutie weighing in at 7lb 4oz and is 19" long. This is a pic of the first time my dd met her. Isn't that one proud Grandpa with both his little grand babies?

If I can ask everyone to please pray for my step dad. Last Tuesday night he was out to dinner with my mom and he told her about some facial numbing and twitching. Thankfully he listened to my mom and went to the ER. Well I get the call 5am Wed(not knowing they where at the ER) that he is in the hospital with a brain tumor! They removed it Thursday morning (New Years EVE) so far he is doing GREAT but we do know it is cancer we are just not sure what stage it is. We nhave no clue when the biopsy results will be in. He went home yesterday which amazes me! He doesn't need pt but does need OT which they are starting immediately. The dr said he will get full movement of his left side back and his slurred speach will get better.

Thanks Everyone! That's Bailey. He's such a good boy. We all love him to pieces. He's from Louisiana and was transported up here Thanksgiving week...just in time for all the snow!

I knew he was super cute.. its because he is a cajun dog.

She told me "I know being different makes me special, but I wish I was regular"

Praying for her. This breaks my heart.

I love Scentsy I use all 6 cubes in my regular and 2 in my plug ins.

Wow.. ya I am definitely not using enough cubes.


I just got my Flurr in.. oh my goodness!! It is yummy... sooo soft and fluffy. Definitely need some of this if you have a baby. It is just the softest fabric I have ever felt. I will post a picture when I remember.

Does anyone mind sharing what camera they use to take pictures of their beautiful outfits? See how I brought sewing into my question? ROFL!

I'm thinking of getting a Canon Rebel XS. I've asked opinions of the budget board but I'm afraid to ask on the photography board.

I really like my Canon Rebel XSi, I just need time to learn how to use it!

I think this is what they are asking for. http://www.projectlinus.org/patterns/pdf/FringedFleece.pdf

The hardest thing about this pattern is they don't show an overall finished blanket, which makes it hard for me to know what it will end up looking like

Thank you! I ended up getting an email from my lady really quickly! So I just saw the instructions! I can't believe that something so simple will get us a free ticket to Disney!! But it will definitely provide warmth for those in need and it is soooo cold here in Kansas right now!!

oops i was a little late

 

[Stephres]

I just looked at that pattern and I love it. Don't know if I have money to spend on sewing right now, but I love that it is for adults and children! Have you done any shirts for you?

And there is a dolly pattern too! I haven't been brave enough to try one for me, but I will!

Teresa, I thought I read somewhere that your middle name is Joy. Am I right? That's my youngest dd's middle name. She was named after my sister and it fit right in because she was born close to Christmas!

She would like you to think so! Right, Teresa Joyce?

Little cuties! Love this picture.

I am not sure how to do this while you are at home but I know that if you go to the concierge desk at your resort there is a "character hotline" they can call and get the meet and greet schedule for any character that will be at the park that day. I think the line opens up at 9am. Dd's favorite is daisy so we always use that when we get to the end of our trip and haven't seen her yet. When we were there in Nov Tianna was near a Christmas store neat the Haunted Mansion. I can't remember the name of the store now though. We never got to see her...just missed her each time we tried.

Thank you all so much for the info! I know there was another post I missed that was helpful about casting for Tiana, Thank you for that too! I knew you ladies would be the best resource!

I just asked them to move it back to the open TRs, so hopefully in a few days you can subscribe again and I can update!

Who is your sister? Did she post here? Hello Jessica's sister!!!

Okay Teresa, I will keep my eyes open for your trippie to open.

My sister Natalie is on the Dis as CinderBella3 (After my niece, her daughter, Bella, who dressed up as Cinderella when she was two, (made by yours truely We all called her Cinder-Bella). She just signed up so she is a shy newbie. We should all send her hellos. I have to tell her to come in and say hello. She has seen the board but I don't think she went into it.
Off to get the kiddoes now. TTFN

I'm so sorry! It is so hard to see our children struggle. My heart aches for Gianna.

Teresa tried to help but still no luck.

I want to sign up for the Project Linus for the GAD. I am signed up with HON but when I click to the sign up page there is not a choice for Project Linus.

I can google virtual projects for HON and get the Project Linus but then it leads me back to the disney GAD page where there is not the project linus.

Could someone please let me know how to sign up for the blankets or PM me and email. I have called HON 3 x's and no return call, 2 emails, nothing.

TIA

I wanted to come in and share with you that Joann fabrics has a coupon code for 50% off that expires today (google it) and I was able to get 7 yards of fleece (perfect for 6 blankets) for $35 - not including shipping.

All that I did was type in the zip code 62535 and Project Linus had three opportunities.

I'm thinking of getting a Canon Rebel XS. I've asked opinions of the budget board but I'm afraid to ask on the photography board.

I have a Cannon PowerShot A710 IS. It takes two AA batteries (I bought one pkg of 4AA rechargables and a charger). I have taken it on both WDW and DL trips. I used it the first two years to get pictures and video. Last year I bought a video camera before my WDW trip. I found the video was really good, I just wanted to zoom in more to get Mickey at Fantasmic. I also wanted to use the video camera at the daycare.
