UPDATE on my dad.
After a very drama filed day Wednesday we found out yesterday from the oncologist they believe they got all the cancer and he will need chemo and radiation. It has not spreed but it is a very aggressive kind of brain cancer. So they are treating it aggressively. His recovery from brain surgery is wonderful he is talking so much better almost back to normal! He still needs OT which may start today but the improvements are great. So we still have a fight but he will win! He has to! So please continue to pray for him.

I'm glad that you got some positive news. I will pray that things continue to improve for your dad!

Santa brought the girls Precious Day dolls from Goetz and we want to comb their hair. I read reviews and they are mixed about the wire wig brush. What do you use, how easy is it & where did you get it?

I bought a wire brush from Sally's Beauty Supply, I think it was about $4. Always spray the hair before brushing it too. I also got the girls the salon set from AG on Cyber Monday for $5 and it included a cape, curlers, bobbi pins, and a little AG brush. It was a great deal!!! I like to use the little brush from AG, just because I like the way it fits my hand, but there is no difference in the way it works from the Sally one. I've heard that some people can find the wire brushes in the pet section of Walmart too, but I haven't seen any at ours.

I think it's easy to brush the hair, but make sure when your kids or their friends are brushing that they aren't just ripping through it! I try to teach the girls to brush the doll's hair like I do theirs, start at the bottom and work your way up.

Well, that was a very long answer about doll hair, wasn't it!

I'm so very blah... Just officially got the word I will be going down to Part time starting tomorrow.

I currently am Salary position, sick days, Holidays, personal days... and vacation.

Now I'm going to be hourly... without insurance

I'm sorry about that! That is not good.

So I bought fabric and matching bows last year and finally got around to making Lily's S'mores Vida. She wore it to school yesterday and it turns out their theme this week is snowmen!



It has a lot of butt buttons (you know, like butt ruffles?) but she insists they don't annoy her when she sits on them. :

SOOOOO cute Jeanne!!!! When you said something about the butt buttons, I couldn't figure out why you had buttons going down the back of a Vida!! I get it now!

Lily is looking awfully grown up these days! I LOVE the s'mores vida and the matching bows and the butt buttons! (Plus, butt buttons is just fun to say.)

Seeing that s'mores fabric reminds me of my most favoritest dessert recipe ever!

Indoor S'mores
12 graham crackers
1 bag MILK chocolate chips
about 1/2 bag mini marshmallows

3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup REAL butter (do not use margarine - it just doesn't turn out well)
1 teaspoon vanilla

1) Preheat oven to 350
2) Arrange crackers on a well-greased cookie sheet (if you have extra space on your cookie sheet, you can fold up some foil around the edges to make a "lip" right next to the crackers so the sauce will stay on your crackers and not run all over the place.)
3) Spread chocolate chips over the crackers, then marshmallows.

4) For sauce, combine brown sugar, butter and vanilla in a sauce pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture thickens and bubbles at edges. Pour over crackers.
5) Bake about 10 minutes until marshmallows are just slightly browned.

Be forewarned: these are extremely dangerous! Also, don't make these and take them to a family or work function unless you want to make them for every function from here on out - I learned that the hard way! If I ever bring something different, I get in trouble!

OOOH!!! I have a potluck to go to tonight, I wonder if I will have time to run to the store to get stuff for this. It sounds so good!

I am finally getting around to posting our trip report from our October trip. Darla made to many cute things to not post a report. Anyway I want to give credit where credit is due. Soooooooooo are you ready for another exciting game of "Name that Case."

Who was Case'd.....

ME!!!!!!!!!! ME!!!!!!!!! ME!!!!!!!!!!! ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ME!!!!!!!!!!! It's MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And my buddy Livndisney!!!!!!! We make a good pair!!!

Marah made a Mulan for her daughter, but she cased LivnDisney

I'm so thrilled someone cased that outfit!!! It is one of my favorites!
Darla, you did a fantastic job on these!!!!

Cathy (twob4him) was cased on the Jasmine

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!
(smilies not working for me today, but put a winky one here, cause I'm just teasing you!)

Switched to IE just so I could get the smilies to work!

Didn't Teresa make that Jasmine first for her neice? Both outfits are so cute!

YES!!! I made it for Casey first with that material. I made a top (and skirt) for Arminda in this style, then for a Wish I combined them together and made this one. (well, not this one, but the one Darla cased)

I was thinking it was Teresa also. We saw it on a Big Give. There was Jasmine for one of the girls and Ariel in her pink on land dress. Darla made an Ariel print dress on that give.

You were right! This was the Give I made the Jasmine and Ariel in her pink dress too.

Can you tell I'm just tickled to death that DARLA Cased ME!?!!! I'm honored!

She is so cute and so is the dress, I just love the colors in it, well done

I have a Big Give question. To give some background I have startd a Small Give here in BC Canada. I run a family daycare and one of the parents works for MAW BC Yukon and she heard about the Big Gives from this board. She knew I was on these boards too and also that I am part of a Quilting/craft group so she asked if I might like to do something similar to the Big Gives. Of course I said yes, but because we do not have many ladies who sew outfits we are doing more autograph books, eye spy bags, journals, crayon roll-ups, etc. I want to start doing MAW matchin t-shirts for the whole family going on the trip but the mom who works for MAW is worried about using the Mickey hat stick people and the WDW logo on the shirt because of copyright laws. Has anyone had this worry, is there any experience with this being a problem? Thank you for reading this, it wasn't meant to be so long.
Christine

There will be no problems at all. People have been making shirts with Disney designs for personal use for a long time and no one has ever gotten into trouble for it.

It turned out great!

Enjoy the Florida frost pictures with our neighbor's dolphin mailbox in the background!

Steph!!!!! That is fabulous!!!! When I saw the picture I was wondering where you bought such a cute coat!! That is really great, I love it!!!

And, I still get a kick out of that mailbox!!!

Try to stay warm!!!!

Mom2SamandJames - Love your Christmas pics with Santa and that little dress is adorable.

Here is the long awaited jacket. I was hurrying to make it because I was afraid it would warm up before I finished but now they are saying it might snow this weekend. I have lived in Florida all my life and it had only snowed twice (melted as soon as it touched the ground) so everyone is quite excited. Heather and Teresa will know that I am NOT quite excited because I hate the cold!

Anyway, her jacket is green corduroy with soccer flannel on the inside and a layer of fleece in between so it is perfect for this weather. It has pockets and a faux belt. It is called the Fair Weather Jacket and I got the pattern from etsy. As soon as I finished one of Megan's friend asked if I would make her one, exactly like it, so I guess it's a hit!

Enjoy the Florida frost pictures with our neighbor's dolphin mailbox in the background!

Love the jacket. Great idea to put the soccer fabric on the inside too. I'm sure she loves it. The mailbox is great too....never see that in Texas. Ha!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

I made a skirt like that, so I have a number of different fabrics laying around. In this pic you can see some of what I used, although I do have others...

I'm sure I can spare at least a 6x6 of what you need! Let us know what you are looking for.

Jessica

Wow! Love this idea and the skirt! I may have to remember this idea for when we go back!

ok, here's the fabrics I have:

.

Wow! I am jealous! You have a great stash!


We made that indoor smores dessert last night! Oh my goodness!!!! It was SSSOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Shannalee724]

This is so stinkin' cute!! LOVE it.

Hi Y'all; I am wanting to make a patchwork twirl with as many different disney fabrics as I can get my hands on; probably 6x6 squares. I have probably 15 fabrics, but if anyone happens to have any scraps that size they could send me, I'd really appreciate it. I want to do an outfit similar to the one Miranda did for Taylor last year w/ the applique of the partner statue on the top and a montage of prints representing the movies, etc. for the skirt. I know I'm asking a lot, but I really can't afford to buy a yard of all the materials I can find, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. I'd be happy to send a postcard from Mickey, or a fave character if you would like.
TIA
Nicole

Nicole, I will see what I have when I get home. I know I have some of the Christmas Minney/Mickey I made this outfit with. Sorry I don't have a closeup. It is red, white snowflakes, Christmas wreaths with pairs of the characters. Do you want some of it?

The jacket is stunning and your daughter is beautiful. When I see pictures of her wonderful smile it makes me smile. Love the frost on the ground. I am sure she is happy to have a warm coat that morning.

[canadianjovigirl]

Well i promised i would post a few pictures since you all inspired me to spend a small fortune for my daughter to have a few cute custom outfits for our first trip. And since i dont sew anything other than rag quilts is buy, buy buy...........but she had a blast and loved every minute of it so it was well worth it. Sorry they are not the best pictures as i have not gotten our photopass disc yet, but enough so you get the idea.......

Sorry for so many big pictures, but cant get them any other way......wont bore you with anymore, but you get the idea....

So thanks again for the inspiration, i just wish i had gotten it sooner so i could have learnt to sew them myself, but it was money well spent.

And I had been doing so well keeping up. oh well. New year, new thread. Maybe I'll be able to keep up this time.

I just had to share this. We were coming home from church Wednesday night & dd3 asked if we could go to Cinderella's castle sometime. I told her we could & she told me she wanted to wear a Cinderella dress when we went. When I asked her which dress she wanted to wear (meaning pink, blue, working), she told me I could make her a pretty one.

 

[SallyfromDE]

I believe the copyright law applies when you are selling. Or if you ask for donations for something you are giving away free. But to make something for someone is a gift, and the law shouldn't apply. Unless someone knows something else I don't??

Thanks everyone!!!

I am going to Hawaii next week (please don't hate me! I can't wait to see some sunshine!) and I would love to check out any local fabric stores on Oahu. Does anyone on these boards live there? We'll be in Honolulu, but have a car and will spend one day driving the perimiter of the island--I'm sure hubby won't mind a stop or two to look at fabric

I live in Oahu - definitely check out Fabric Mart! There are several locations - my fave is in Aiea/Pearl City. Great Hawaiian Fabric at Great Prices!!!! You can get good deals at the stadium swap meet, too. PM me if you have any other questions....

So I bought fabric and matching bows last year and finally got around to making Lily's S'mores Vida. She wore it to school yesterday and it turns out their theme this week is snowmen!

It has a lot of butt buttons (you know, like butt ruffles?) but she insists they don't annoy her when she sits on them.

So cute! I have to get some of that smores material - I just love it! Your daughter is such a cutie, too!!! Did you make her bows or buy them - I just love the whole look!

Sorry I am so behind, ladies - I am trying to get caught up to the thread! I am sure I have missed several other super cute projects...

[Mom2SamandJames]

I saw a cute pair of pants in the store today that I want to make for a friend's little girl. The pants I have no worries about, but they had ruffles on the bottom of the hem. Does anyone have any tips for the best way to do ruffles on the bottom of pants for a beginning ruffler?

Thanks ahead of time

Dawn

 

[twob4him]

Cindee (livindisney) was cased on the Mulan
and
Cathy (twob4him) was cased on the Jasmine

OH no I cased everyone else...I never make anything original....

I just kinda skimmed since I am days behind on the thread but I just want to say again....how awesome all the pics are! Love everything!!!

Nicole...I checked my stash and I have nothing that you don't already have...sorry!

I add ruffles and cuffs before I start to sew while the two pants sections are still flat. I use a ruffler or you could hand ruffle (see teresa bookmarks on page 1 for how to do that). Then I stitch them on the bottom then I start sewing the crotch and inner leg seams. Hope that helps!
