I'm looking to organize my fabric stash & I have a few questions concerning comic book boards.

What size fits so nicely on your book shelves?

Where do you order them from? Some of the websites look shady.

I just looked up Comic Book stores in my area. There were a couple and that way I didn't have to pay shipping. I also ended up needing A LOT more of them than I imagined. I bought 2 pkgs, 100 ea, and filled them. I've been back twice to buy more. I'm glad I was able to buy them locally since I needed more. :rotfl:I bought the 10 1/2 X 7" ones. They fit great on my bookshelf.
 
We've had some terrible losses this week. My brother's wife lost her baby this week. She was around 16 weeks. There is also a wonderful nurse at work, who also lost her baby. She was 16 weeks also. So terrible. I can't imagine.
I did manage to get my Epcot Vida done, and now I'm searching for ideas for my next outfit.

I like how it came out, but I'm still not sold on the fabric for the bodice. I do like the buttons across the bottom.

I love how it turned out! I have always looked at the word Epcot and wanted to do it but it looked like it would take forever and that was just the word! I cannot imagine doing all you did. It was well worth it though!!

We have a great debate in our house...There is a new silver fox in town..

I have always thought Anderson Cooper was handsome! Much more so then Brent in my opinion. I think it is the hair and eyes! I :love: his hair!

I bought the same size but I ended up buying mine on Ebay. The comic book store here was $15 for 100 boards and on fee-bay they were $10.99 plus free shipping. They were the same exact brand and everything.

My local store had them for $9.99.
 

A huge thank you to everyone for your kind compliments on the Cat in the Hat!!! :goodvibes:goodvibes I reallly appreciate it! I have to make another one soon!!!


Teresa- it wouldnt take my login- I had to re-register!!


I also wanted to share with you, for those not on facebook. Hannah started out a bit cross eyed, but as the months have gone by her eyes have become more and more crossed rather than getting stronger. Her pediatrition requested we see an ophthalmologist. I took her to one last Saturday, an ophthalmologist who does not do surgery. However, after the exam she wrote a script for eye drops that she takes 3 days a week to dilate the stronger eye to help aid the weaker one. She also said we really needed to see a different Dr in the practice because she felt that eye therapy and surgery were going to be needed, and she didnt believe this was a condition that was corrected with glasses.
I have been doing some research and so far what I keep reading is that babies born with this do need the surgery. They also say that these vision problems can contribute to developmental delays and I dont know if I'm being premature, but she is 8 months old now and not confidently sitting up yet, and when put on her tummy immediately rolls to her back. But I know development time tables are broad anyway....
I have read that these eye surgeries can sometimes require being repeated. Ugh. I hate the idea of my little baby going thru surgery. Thanks for letting me share.

My daughter was cross-eyed starting around 12 months...as time progressed she would not walk because of it. I knew she could but she wouldn't let go of the coffee table and just walk. Now I realized it was because she couldn't see properly. We did the drops/patch for about 4 months and then she had eye surgery to correct the lazy eye muscles. The dr detaches the muscles and reattaches them further back making it harder to 'cross' the eyes. Also she had rx glasses just for her eyes. The surgery itself went smoothly....thank goodness for Versed. And she recovered pretty quickly...and all is well today. She walked very quickly after we figured out what was going on and she goes to the eye dr every 6 months for rechecks. So far everything including her rx for her glasses has remained constant. I don't think she will need another surgery. Of course this was our prognosis but I would definitely be aggressive about doing what you can early on. Prayers and hugs,
Cathy

Help yourself to any of those!!!
So sorry to hear about your sil. How tragic...such a terrible loss.:hug:

Oh my! That's awful! Again, I am so sorry! Poor Lydia!
How is your sister? Haven't seen her on here much lately. She's missed!
:hug::hug: Thank you for asking about me!! I was just wondering if I was still in the "club" since I hardly ever post anymore!! It's not because I don't love you all, I just don't have the time! I miss you all so much!!

Oh Elisa, I'm so sorry to hear about your little niece or nephew. :hug: Losing a baby is such a hard thing to go through.

I LOVE the Epcot vida!!! That is absolutely adorable!!!!!

I bought some of mine at a local comic book store and then I bought some more on ebay. I paid $10/100 each place. But, I liked buying them on ebay so I could avoid the whole "Wow, there's a girl in the comic book store" incident that happened the last time! :rotfl: I used the 10x7 (or whatever size NiNi said she used).

So sorry for your familiy's loss. I had a miscarraige long ago and it was awful. I really love the vida!

Ditto; I did exactly the same- except I started w/ just 1 set of 100. They were really nice, and I payed $10 also.
 
I got to play with my sewing machine today!!!!!

I made an arm cover for DD's mobile:

It matches the curtains my mom made for her room. That's Kaitlyn in the crib:

Yay! You're still around! I've been wondering...I should have asked about you sooner! I understand about being busy though!

I am hoping to join the big gives sometime soon but money has been tight and I have no fabric stash right now. I was really struggling to find some to make valentine skirts. I am really hoping our walmart doesn't do away with the fabric department now that they have had that fire.
 
Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while, but now I am ready to jump in booth feet. I was originally intimidated to join (actually I still am intimidated!! :rotfl2:) because you ladies are really amazingly talented!

I haven't sewn in propable 15 years, since I was a teenager so I am rusty. I wanted to share with you a couple things I did recently...they aren't nearly as good as the work you all do, but I wanted to share.

Wow she is really beautiful!!!!!!! I totally think that vision problems cause "developmental delays". I work with a lot of children who have developmental delays and have seen the difference with correction. Its like all of the sudden they start doing things very quickly. Keep giving her that tummy time!! Its so important for development of the musculature in the back and shoulders and arms. Challenge her to sit. One of my favorite therapy positions is to hang something fun around my neck and sit crosslegged on the floor with the baby sitting where my legs cross facing me (does this make sense). In this position its so easy for me to have my hands just behind them (not touching if possible) to catch them. I also love to have them facing away from me on my knee, holding them right at the hips and tilting them in different directions to make them work their trunk muscles. You could also do this on a ball!!! Its FUN!!!
