I ordered my first design from HeatherSue. Now I understand why everyone thinks her designs are the best.
That is so sweet of you to say!
I'm thinking black for the boys with Heather's swirl Mickey in the logo area of a shirt. I've done Safari Mickey twice in the past. Pink for my mother and myself with the same swirl Mickey. Now, here's my question. What three colors should I make the swirl Mickey? Should they match Corinne's dress or be the traditional Mickey colors? Should I add 2010 below it?
I think it would be cute to pull 3 colors out of the dress to use for the swirl!
My sister's MIL lost a child and she won't let her other two children celebrate Mother's Day. She won't come to a baby shower we have planned for my sister as it's a month before the baby is due. She told my sister she will only attend a shower after the baby is due. She hasn't bought anything for her grandchild (only one) and won't until it is born.
I don't have any children, so I haven't lost any-But it seems like she should have had some grief counciling years ago.
My sister has had a few miscarages. This pregnancy was suppose to be twins, but she lost one. She was so happy when she found out she was still pregnant, as she didn't know she was pregnant with twins.
I can't believe her MIL.
It does sound like she should have had some counseling. I'm sure she doesn't mean to be like this. It's just so sad for everyone involved.
I just wanted to say thank you for the supportive comments regarding Hannah- its been great to hear of some of you with first hand experience.
We continue with the eye drop therapy (like a patch for a baby-but drops instead) until Feb 9th and then we meet with the surgeon. Reading about what they do to her eye is really scary. I have been getting her adjusted once a month or so since she was a month old, and she has needed cranial adjustments for a long time, they do seem to bring her some relief, but it is short lived. I hadnt put it together until my Dr looked over her history today.
I have a condition where I use 1 eye at a time (so those 3-D shows at Disney don't work for me) I went thru patches as a kid, but I wouldnt wish it on Hannah. Her Daddy had a lazy eye that is corrected thru glasses. Somehow big sis didn't get it, but Hannah did.
I am so excited, I made more progress on my LOUD candy dress today!
Hope to get close to done tomorrow!
Henry had some sort of eye problem as a kid where he had to wear a patch over one of his eyes. He should have had surgery as he wouldn't leave the patch on and so the therapy didn't work. He's now blind in his left eye. So, even though surgery sounds scary, it sounds like it's the best option if this therapy doesn't work.
I'm sorry you all have to go through this.
Well I finally finished 3 outfits yesterday while DH was working and I had the girls down for a nap.
These are by no means as great as the ones that everyone else does but I am proud of myself none the less. The red outfit doesn't have buttons but I plan on getting those done on Wednesday night when I have the house to myself.
I think you're doing a great job!! These are going to be so cute on your girls!
Are you referring to "Handwriting Without Tears"?
They used this program when Tessa was in kindergarten. But, apparently, there are tears when the teacher yells "STOP!" puts a big red "X" over the work the child is doing and reprimands them for writing the letter wrong (supposed to start at the top, not the bottom)- all in the 2nd week of kindergarten.
I really don't want to send Sawyer to that teacher in a few years. But, she's the only kindergarten teacher we have. UGH!
OOH! I almost forgot! YCMT has a contest going on right now. They have a surprise and all you have to do is guess what it is to be entered into a random drawing for a goody bag of DIY stuff! (including fabric!!) It would be so fun if one of us won it!
Here's the linky:

Thanks for reminding me! I was going to do that this morning and forgot!
Hi guys; I have to ask for more prayers for my Dad. He had seemed to stabilize, and they were supposed to do a revision surgery today. Just found out tonight that things didn't go as planned, the damage was much more extensive, and they are going to have to amputate the leg above the knee later this week. They're just trying to get some of the anticoagulants out of his system first. This has been a real shock for all of us. A lot of decisions are being made, and it's hard to focus and have wisdom. Please pray for him, for my family, and for me as I am now rethinking when will be best to go to him. I can really only take the time away from work and my family here once. (although my brothers and their families are doing a great job there with him).
Keep the kids from seeing this next part- a bit graphic
Of course, my Dad was joking about how at least there's one place he'll always get a job now- I HOP. (insert groan.) I told him that I'd much rather have him with us with 1 leg than in a casket with two. And I meant it, and I know that in the grand scheme of things it really isn't the end of the world; big adjustment- yes; but not insurmountable. But I'm still afraid for him.
I know this must be so scary for you all. I'm sorry you're all going through this.
I have a question about his anticoagulants. Why is he on them? If he is at risk for clotting, make sure they supplement him with Lovenox shots up until a few hours before surgery. Lovenox is a blood thinner that will be clear from the blood within several hours. So, it's great to use up until surgery when they have to take you off of Coumadin.
I am not a doctor, I just play one on the Dis!
Got my stuff done for the big give!
The Tink top was done following a tutorial from Lil Blue Boo - so fun! I can't wait to use this technique again.
WOW!!!! These are fabulous!! Did you dothe Buzz and Woody by hand? They look fantastic! I adore the Tinkerbell outfit, too! WOW!
Handwriting Without Tears was suggested to me by the occupational therapist at the school and Wendy!
I just wanted to say "Hi!" since it's been a long time since we've been on here within a few pages of each other!
Happy Tuesday all! Just wanted to share some pics from our trip last October... I was new to sewing when I stumbled across this thread and you all know what happens then... a new obsession with customs for our trip. We are going back in March with our DD and our 6 month old twin girls for me to run the Princess Half Marathon!
Since I am new to posting I am going to start with one and see how it goes
Getting her special gift from Mickey the morning we left!
I LOVE all of the Disney pictures (I lost the quote for the other ones). You did a fantastic job on all of the outfits!! I bet she got tons of attention!! My favorite picture is the one in front of the castle where it looks like you have the whole place to yourselves!! LOVE it!
Lots of sewing to do for our upcoming trip with 3 girls!!!!
I know that I should get a big hoop (or as big as I can afford! lol) I mainly would like to applique - not really embroidery. It would be nice to be able to purchase Heather Sue's designs - so I guess I need a machine with a USB port. But what else do I look for?
