(let me try this again...)

I am really starting to worry about the weather during our trip in Nov/Dec. I'm afraid it might be too cool for the girls to go without a jacket. Would it be considered too obsessive to make them a matching jacket for each dress?

I'm thinking along the lines of a sweatshirt jacket (the kind you see older women in all the time) to sort of match the t shirts I am making every one else...

Would this really be too much? I have 9 months to work on them...what do you think?

WHEW! Finally caught up! For those of you not my friend over on FB - last week I went to the ER with pain and nausea. They discovered by appendix was perforated and I had surgery. Was in the hospital until Wednesday, and I'm just starting to feel more like my old self (hard to recover when you have a two month old, especially one I had to reestablish nursing with). I can now hopefully keep up with the thread! Missed you all! I've enjoyed seeing all the Christmas and winter outfits. :goodvibes
Oh wow. I can't imagine having an appendectomy right after having a baby! I sure hope you guys can get back into a good routine soon. :hug:

I already posted on the Big Give site, but thought I'd share here too. This is my first Big Give, and I had fun doing this. :) The top is a Simply Sweet variation, the pants Easy Fit with elastic at the ankles. Jasmine is from HeatherSue, Aladin and Genie are from DivasDuds. I must say HeatherSue has me spoiled with her designs, the others weren't hard, just fussy...on Aladin there was a piece of applique that totally got covered up with embroidery. I like that HeatherSue has some of the detail in embroidery, it just makes sense! I CASE'd Cathy, HeatherSue and OllieGirl to make this, I liked OllieGirl's idea of calico princesses...totally washable! The fabric has gold sparkles, but they didn't photograph well, and it isn't crooked like it appears, I've just got it on crummy wire hangers. My live models are either too big or too small! lol

Wow, that is great! I do have one quick question for you and others who have done this...it is two pieces or is it connected like a jumpsuit? If it is connected did you have to add extra material to either piece so it wouldn't be too short in the crotch seam?
Hi everyone,

Here is the babyrag quilt and taggie I finished for my friends little girl Italia= I was hoping to be girly but not frilly - do you think its okay?

I love your rag quilt and taggie blanket. I just did a rag quilt for my sister's baby and said no more for at least a year...lol. I just hate fringing the seams because I always end up with blistered hands...even with rag quilt scissors.

Happy Birthday, I love your top. I think you might have inspired me to make one for my birthday in two weeks ;)

I think your doggie would love some frosty paws doggie ice cream! That is what we always got for our doggies birthdays.

There is no way to begin to guess what the weather will be like. We went in 08 and leading up until the WEEK before our trip, they had a real cold snap. I brought hand warmer packets and made warm princess cloaks for girls. Fortunately it turned nice again right before we got there. We wore t-shirts until the close of MVMCP both nights without jackets.

The best way to guarantee good weather???? Spend a lot of time and effort making cloaks or jackets!!! :rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2:

Honestly, just be prepared for anything. Dress in layers and bring gloves and hats just in case, then just hope you don't need them!

For our trip this December, I plan to make skirt sets with halter tops for my daughter, and will bring short and long sleeve t-shirts and bicycle shorts AND leggings to wear underneath...... And I'm hoping those nice cloaks still fit!
 
Lots of cute things posted since my last visit!!


That couldn't be any cuter!!! That stripe fabric is great!


I think I've posted this on facebook, my blog, sewforum, and flickr... don't want to leave ya'll out :lmao:
I made my DD a charm twirl skirt last week - we were shopping at a local quilt shop and she picked up the Barnyard Buddies charm pack. I sometimes let her pick a Fat Quarter when go to a quilt shop (she loves fabric!) but this time she wouldn't leave the charm pack alone.

4264711486_a37193cefa.jpg
There were enough charms in the pack to make 2 skirts... now to figure out what to do with the second skirt.

That's really cute. I've always been a sucker for bold colours.

The quilt and taggie blankets are awesome. A friend of mine is due in the spring, and I have been thinking lately about what I am going to make. This is looking like a good idea.

WHEW! Finally caught up! For those of you not my friend over on FB - last week I went to the ER with pain and nausea. They discovered by appendix was perforated and I had surgery.

Oh my. Hope you feel like your old self again soon.
 

Beautiful!

oh that is just well...Precious! hehe so darling. I love little little ones in dresses like that.

Thanks. I keep calling it precious too. Carla sure named that pattern appropriately. Come to think of it, Easy Fits, Simply Sweet...her patterns all have good names.

Great job. I need to try that pattern someday.

Love it!!

Oh how sweet. I would love to see the picture. I would soooo have to show that to my daughter.



I love this dress. It is so sweet and girly!!

thanks. The co-worker whos DGD I made it for is all about girly and frilly. I have another co-worker with a DGD who is totally opposite. She loves things like the A-line, and the VIDA with no extras and bright or bold colours. I get to make totally different stuff for the 2 of them, it's so fun.

Good for you doing what you knew you had to do to help him the most!



That is absolutely adorable!

Thanks - on both counts.
 
Thanks Teresa! You're so sweet!
:lovestruc

We got lucky on our first trip out with the first costume and found Mary and Bert in the MK. Unfortunately, neither Mary NOR Bert are currently appearing in the MK! :scared1:

marybertresize.jpg


Before our last trip, I decided to remake the costume, and had every Disboutiquer here helping me hunt down larger boots! And I even started my own thread looking for suggestions on finding Mr. Penguin. I had wanted pictures with him for some time! I found out that he makes fairly regular appearances in the random character sets in the late afternoon in the Animation Building at DHS!

penguingroupresize.jpg


Now that we're toying with going to DisneyLand for a day this summer, I'm wondering if it will be too hot to bring the Mary Poppins out for one last spin.....

From one Poppins lover to another.... great job! :worship:

Too funny! I couldn't get boots for Julia because at the time she was a size 7 toddler shoe. All of the boots I could find were size 12 and up. She worked with what she had though. Just little white shoes. I know the weather does decide whether or not to bring the costume. I don't know about California, I have never been there but in Florida early last May, it was way too hot to wear it. We had a heat wave and it was around 98 degrees the whole time. So, no Mary and we couldn't find the CM Mary that Julia had made friends with for the prior two years. She has probably moved on and Julia was quite heart broken that "her Mary" wasn't there.

Oh how sweet.


I am in awe!! I love Mary Poppins and these are fantastic pictures. You did an awesome job!

Oh, and I love your Christmas outfit you posted a couple pages back as well.

Thank you so much!

Hey, sorry to keep pestering you... .when were you at Disney with the costume?

We had an interesting interaction with some CM's. I think they thought we were you! Was it early 08? We had been there in Jan 08, then returned in December with the costume again. They asked if we had been there earlier in the year, and I said yes, thinking they were asking about our January trip.

I had no idea what they were talking about, but they made us wait while they printed out a copy of their CM newsletter with a write-up on little Mary Poppins. They were SO excited to think they had found the person to give it to! If that was you, did you ever get a copy? I brought it home, so it's here sometwhere, I'm just not sure where right now.......

OMG! You just gave me the chills. Yes, that was us! My mini-poppins Julia. In February of 08! (and no you are not perstering me! I love this stuff) All of the CM's made quite the production out of Julia on that trip and she received a lot of extra attention. I am sure to everyone she looked like quite the little attraction at just over 3 feet tall dressed as Mary! She signed many autographs and had so many pictures taken with people. We even had "meeting" times with Mary and CMs to meet up and take pictures with their cameras. We will never forget that trip! I wrote a letter to Disney about our amazing experience and they featured my letter and picture in their CM newsletter. Too funny! I wish we could have gone back in 08 but we usually can swing one trip a year. Yes, we have copies, thank you, the nice lady who wrote the article sent them to us. I can't believe what a small world it is. I bet you never thought you would speak to the person in the article. I just think that is so great. Too funny! I am here if you ever find it and want to send it my way. If not, don't worry I have a couple.

Wendy, it is perfect! An amazing job as usual! I love the blanket! You make the best raggies! and little Zoey on Christmas is just great! My dogs would have been tearing through the bags and I would have never gotten a picture! (their Christmas stuff has to go high up on the mantle and in their stockings or else they won't make it to Christmas morning!) Too cute!

Love the Mary Poppins and the fun Jasmine set! Beautiful!!!
~ Angela

Thank you!

I couldn't even tell you the name of the place any more. It was online. A customer of mine ended up finding them for herself and snnt me the link.

It's not a place I would recommend though. When I ordered them, they had 2 pair left, and one had some spots on them. I said I definitely didn't want those. A few days before my trip, I realized they hadn't arrived, so I called and all they had left were the ones with the spots. Fortunately they express mailed them just in time and the spots were really tiny.

But you guys know how much I obsessed about this, so I was kind of ticked....

I did enjoy all the Mary Poppins discussion again yesterday since I was making one for someone at the time!


I love the Mary Poppins discussions too!- and fellow Mary lovers. She was always one of my favorites as a kid and when my daughter began to like her, I was all for it. She asked for the costume for Halloween 07 and that turned into our Feb 08 Disney trip (it had to be cool enough to wear the costume ;)).

Mary Poppins is very under-rated in Disney and my daughter gets frustrated when she can't find any Mary Poppins toys or Disney merchandise. They only have the barbie doll (Julia has 2 Mary's, Bert, Jane and Michael), the umbrella (which we have) the Broadway merchandise (no we haven't done that show yet, but we may very soon ;) we have the carpet bag and mug), and a couple of pins, but other than that you can't find anything. Mary (In Disney) didn't like that either :rotfl:.

I can't believe she isn't in MK anymore. :confused: That's not right. I think she belongs there.:sad2:



Somehow I missed the Jasmine outfit. That is just too adorable! Love it!
 
The Precious dress is just darling, absolutely love the Mary Poppins outfit, and the Big Give Jasmine is adorable! Nini, your sewing area looks great! The blankets are wonderful, also! Hope I didn't miss anything.

Adi, you already know this, but so glad you are doing better and that Isabel is hunky-dory again.

I made another binky clip by hand for Kaitlyn. Had to get this one done in time for Saturday's playoff game. LOL My ribbon puckered a bit under the "SAINTS", but as DH pointed out to me, it *was* embroidered by hand and not a machine. I wrote the letters in fabric pencil then backstitched over them individually and satin stitched over the backstitching.
IMG_6722.jpg

Was my hand ever cramping by the end of this.

I ordered the Feliz pattern after noticing a couple sites out of stock and low on stock...and I think I'm going to go to Hancock's after DH gets paid to see if there's any Christmas fabric left on clearance to make her a dress for our December trip, even though I won't be working on that for a while. I get to order my sewing cabinet Friday, also so I'll finally have somewhere to work! (Our dining room table is out because that's the area of the house our still-acts-like-a-puppy dog has.)

My next project I decided is going to be making an arm cover for Kaity's mobile as I'm tired of looking at the plain white plastic. I have some fabric to match the curtains my mom made for her room. Then I'm going to tackle a fleece blanket sleeper and my first applique. :) And, of course, the ever-present Winnie the Pooh quilt I had planned on having done before she was even born.
 
Sadly I know more about this then I would want to! My DH had his colon removed back in 2000 at age 29 because he had Ulcerative colitis. Then DD (10) has Celiac's disease. From what I read a lot of times IBS is really celiac disease which goes undx'd for an average of 10 yrs. Unfortunately not all drs are educated in Celiac's so they don't test for it or don't know the tests for it. Not saying you have it but if you haven't been tested I HIGHLY recommend getting tested it is a simple blood test and IF you ahve it all you ahve to do is change your diet. Keep in mind some times the test come bag negative to it but a person can have a positive response to the diet and heck if it makes you feel better it is so worth it! In fact I really truly believe that this diet saved my dd's life!

Sorry to preach! I just want to get the word out there about Celiac's and UC It has affected my life profoundly.
Do you have a link to that diet that I could look at? I have a big list of things that I can't eat....but it leaves me wondering what CAN I eat?!:confused3
My sil, bless her heart, took her stuffed puppy to college with her & more than once had to turn around & go back to get him when she went home for the weekend. They teased her about whether she planned on taking him on her honeymoon.

Is your SIL's name Cristi? Just curious because my roommate in college had one and we teased her about the same thing. :lmao:
 
Wow, that is great! I do have one quick question for you and others who have done this...it is two pieces or is it connected like a jumpsuit? If it is connected did you have to add extra material to either piece so it wouldn't be too short in the crotch seam?
.

it's two pieces, the skirt part is attached to the top with a separate pair of pants.
 
Too funny! I couldn't get boots for Julia because at the time she was a size 7 toddler shoe. All of the boots I could find were size 12 and up. She worked with what she had though. Just little white shoes. I know the weather does decide whether or not to bring the costume.

I forgot the boots only came in size 13 and up. The company that made them discontinued them, although if you look around, you might find an online store here or there that still has a pair in the smaller sizes. If she still likes Mary Poppins, you should check around and see if you can find some for a larger costume later! PM me if you want the company name or stock number.

I think we met your cm that day. Her name was Mary and she was from Wildwood, FL. How do I know???? She gave us her nametag!!!! I'd send it to you, but I cut the back off and glued it to my scrapbook page! Sorry..... If you need her last name to try and find her, let me know. I think she was working in the Main Street Bakery when we found her.

As for the weather in California in the summer.... we have been there in June 3 times, and it can vary a lot. But even when it's warm, it's not humid, so there's a chance we might break out Mary. Of course, my daughter usually only puts the costumes on for the photo ops then wants to change into a skirt set or something....... But she's 9!

I ended up making a Mary Poppins Nanny costume for our December 08 trip so Katie's friend could be Jolly Holiday Mary. I'm thinking it might be fun to make her red suit for this December. But to be honest, nothing gets the response that Jolly Holiday Mary gets.....

Nope, it's Kendra. When her daughter was born we found a beanie puppy that looked almost exactly like her puppy to give to her dd.

I made my DD a charm twirl skirt last week - we were shopping at a local quilt shop and she picked up the Barnyard Buddies charm pack. I sometimes let her pick a Fat Quarter when go to a quilt shop (she loves fabric!) but this time she wouldn't leave the charm pack alone.

There were enough charms in the pack to make 2 skirts... now to figure out what to do with the second skirt.

Cute skirt!

I already posted on the Big Give site, but thought I'd share here too. This is my first Big Give, and I had fun doing this. :) The top is a Simply Sweet variation, the pants Easy Fit with elastic at the ankles. Jasmine is from HeatherSue, Aladin and Genie are from DivasDuds. I must say HeatherSue has me spoiled with her designs, the others weren't hard, just fussy...on Aladin there was a piece of applique that totally got covered up with embroidery. I like that HeatherSue has some of the detail in embroidery, it just makes sense! I CASE'd Cathy, HeatherSue and OllieGirl to make this, I liked OllieGirl's idea of calico princesses...totally washable! The fabric has gold sparkles, but they didn't photograph well, and it isn't crooked like it appears, I've just got it on crummy wire hangers. My live models are either too big or too small! lol

Do you have a link to that diet that I could look at? I have a big list of things that I can't eat....but it leaves me wondering what CAN I eat?!:confused3

There is so much more you can eat they you think wit the Gluten free diet it just might not be the brand you are used to. At least that is how we put it to my DD and she has done amazing with it. There are SO many links I would just look up gluten free diet. What you are doing is eliminating all wheat, rye, oats and barley from your diet and anything derived from it. Which sounds over whelming but it isn't bad at all once you get into the swing of it. Heck my local Walmart even has gluten free tv dinners! There are so many other flours you can use instead of wheat. Don't stress over what you can't eat at all and if you have any questions please ask!

I LOVE all the new stuff!

I hinted the other day about a new pattern that I LOVE and it is actually going to e a series of 3 or 4 patterns not sure but I am in love wit this box!

(let me try this again...)

I am really starting to worry about the weather during our trip in Nov/Dec. I'm afraid it might be too cool for the girls to go without a jacket. Would it be considered too obsessive to make them a matching jacket for each dress?

I'm thinking along the lines of a sweatshirt jacket (the kind you see older women in all the time) to sort of match the t shirts I am making every one else...

Would this really be too much? I have 9 months to work on them...what do you think?

Nini

I second what mom2rtk said. We were there Dec 5-12 and temps ranged from 50ish to 80!! I made mostly simply sweets so I brought short and long sleeves to wear under the tops and leggings for under the skirts. I also had a couple of shirt/pants outfits. I did go to Walmart and buy a cute little jacket that had bambi on it with a hood. Plus we had her blanket for when she was in the stroller (she's little). I have also been the week of Thanksgiving and it was SO HOT. So expect anything. If I were doing it again and had more time I would have made a cute little jacket/cloak that would have complemented more than one outfit. That way you don't spend as much time and your girls will still look great!!
 
With all this talk about Mary Poppins I got to thinking. We may be down in Disney for Halloween next year. For the past couple of years I have been thinking about doing family costumes with me as Mary, my DH as Bert and my daughter as a penguin or maybe Jane. Would this be okay to wear to MNSSHP?? I know sometimes they don't want you to look like the characters (although I look very little like Mary!!) What do you all think??

They are fine with you dressing like the characters as long as you don't lead anyone to believe you are the real character or sign any autographs and take pics with strangers. The don't want to confuse the little kiddies......

I have done Mary and Bert for folks heading for the party. I don't think it's very common because you can't buy those costumes in stores.

Just be careful about the heat and comfort issue if that's important to you. I didn't care because as much as I wanted to leave the costumes on, I knew as long as I got the photos I wanted, I would be fine. It can be really hot or really cold at the parties. Last year had record setting heat most of the way through October, up to and including Halloween night!

I absolutely LOVE your rag quilt. I am wanting to make one for my DD4 to have NO clue where to start. Do you put anything between your layers (the raggyness looks thick)? Does that make sense?? Or is it just the 2 layers? Also, what type of fabric did you use? Is it flannel or would regular fabric work? If there is something between the top and bottom layers to give it added thickness/warmth, what did you use?

I am SO excited . . . I may have a new project on my hands!!
 
I've been home with a sick child for 2 days now and have been able to get a little sewing done. :cool1:

So I wanted to share what I finished this morning.

Please forgive dd's messy hair. She's feeling better, but is still not 100%.

Thanks for looking!

I wanted to know if there were more than 2 layers, too. Would you mind postng a picture of the "back" of the quilt? I want to make one, too. I LOVE the colors you used!

We went to MNSSHP and Olivia was dressed as Mary Poppins. We saw an adult dressed as Mary Poppins and Olivia got all excited that it was her twin. Olivia asked if they could take a picture together because they were twins. The lady was kind of upset so I started to take Olivia away but then her friends told her it was ok. I felt so bad about the entire transaction.
 
Question for you all that have gone to Disney in June...a little off topic.

How bad are the crowds really? We just went in November the weekend up to Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Since the military discount is continued onto Sept...I really wanted to do another trip. I'm not sure I can convince DH but I'm going to try and June is my birthday so I can say it's my birthday present..right???:rotfl2: And since he may be out to sea in September, we may not get another chance to go for a while.

Emma gets out of school on the 11th but I will just be getting back from a work trip and will have to be at work the next week. So we're looking at getting down there on the 18th and staying for 7 days. Realizing we're rope drop people. So we'd probably leave the parks around 2 or 3pm at the latest.

What can we expect? Is it really as horrible as people say?

Thanks guys.
