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.

Very cute!! We all start with easy and then get more ambitious. I love A line dresses, and always go back to that pattern for a quick and easy dress. Good luck with the buttonholes! :)
 
Oh my gosh - LOVE your Brother's shirt!! And your little darling is so cute too!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the wonderful PM's and messages - I LOVE getting them!!!!!!!:goodvibes

Daniel actually got dc'd from the hospital this weekend from his infection in his lines and they had him come back in today for...................HIS LAST CHEMO TREATMENT ( : WOO HOO!!!!!

WOOHOO!!!!!

I cheated. Here's the dress I bought for Corinne for Animal Kingdom. Now, I need to make matching tshirts for the boys (dh, grandpa and our two boys) and my mother and myself.

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'm willing to listen to any ideas! Thanks.

That is adorable!! I'm not sure about the colors for the swirl Mickey.

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.

That is so sad for everyone. :hug:

You have super duper name remembering abilities!

Only if I see it wrote down! In real life, I'm horrible! Are you Heather or Teresa???? :rotfl:

SO cute!!! I love them!

I think the one you want is www.starfall.com
Lyddie was using that today when she wasn't sleeping! She loves that site.
Now that I am thinking about it... It was writing.. some kind of writing program that helped kids learn how to write. Oops.. LOL! :rolleyes:


ETA: Was it this site? http://www.hwtears.com/ Handwriting Without Tears
Something about ".....Without Tears" I think I have a link to it somewhere. BillWendy suggested it, right?
 

Does anyone know where I can find a Wall-E applique or embroidery design (PES)? I'd like to make a shirt to finish off the outfits for Aidan's give, but don't have any designs of his fave characters...
 
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.

Oh no, I'm sorry! :hug: Your Dad has a great sense of humor though! I hope he can keep his spirits up. I feel for your family, this has got to be very frightening for you guys. :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:
 
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.

I don't think Heather has Wall-E, but http://stitchontime.com does.

Do you have a link to the tutorial? I love the top! Well, I love everything!!! They are going to be so excited!
 
I love the Lil Blue Boo shout out... she is a friend of mine from college and is super talented!!! She has some great patterns for funky knit dresses .. I am making my girls some for our March trip using the retro looking Mickey T's they have at Old Navy right now :)
 
Now that I am thinking about it... It was writing.. some kind of writing program that helped kids learn how to write. Oops.. LOL! :rolleyes:

Handwriting Without Tears was suggested to me by the occupational therapist at the school and Wendy!

But...I have to tell you that starfall is wonderful for emergent readers. The kids really really love it.

I second and third the info about Handwriting Without Tears. It was started by an OT and is specifically designed for kids that have problems. In the Sec Ed class my son was in in Pre-K they used both the HWT and Starfall. My son loves them both.

As for reading (I know that is not what you were really asking about) we have started using Earobics. We have been using it for about 3 weeks and he is still loving it. It is a bit more expensive, but so far is showing some pretty awesome results!


For all the other posts I did not capture, just want to say, some beautiful stuff being posted!
Wonderful news about Daniel!
I have added so many to my prayer list!


I have been under the weather for a bit, but actually think I might take a shower this morning!

One of our friends has a little girl with Spina Bifida. She will turn 2 this week. I made this for her birthday. I saw this fabric just as they were putting it out the other day and knew right off this was what I would use.
I love this pattern...it was so easy and I think it turned out so cute.

Oh my! This is so sweet! Nicely made! Lovely rounded collars too!
Latest project....

This was my first try at the Farbenmix Sasha. I will make the next size up next time...it's a little tight over the shirt but will be great in the spring by itself.

These are super, I like the A-line patterns, they lend themselves to such flexibility in the creative department and for wearing- under all sorts of shirts in all kinds of weather. Nice job- these look really cute! I love the pink!

Are you referring to "Handwriting Without Tears"?
I want to look into this, Megan while she can write a few letters, I would love a program that I can do at home to encourage her.
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:

I will need to check this out later, after MOPS today (Mothers of Preschoolers- anybody else do this?)

Yes! I saw large ones at Jo Anns recently. I can go back and get it for you if you need me to.

Your strength is an inspiration! Your Dad sounds like he's handling it with humor- a good way to go through life! My Father is entirely too serious. Please keep posting about his progress!

Jessica, this is so different from what I have seen you do before, which I like, but I really love this and the capris too! I love the paisley white on white- do you know who makes that?
Nice job!!!

I LOVE the top. The appliques are great too, but that top is wonderful. You guys are sooo fast. I looked at the gives this time but knew I could never keep up with y'all. :laughing:

Great job! Isn't it fun?! Warning...it's also addictive :)
 
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:confused3

Thanks for looking :love: Lots of sewing to do for our upcoming trip with 3 girls!!!!
 
Great job! Isn't it fun?! Warning...it's also addictive :)

Yes it is fun and very addictive. After I got off the computer last night I finished up an a-line halter dress for DD5. She loves it, but I will have to add length to it since it is to short for her to wear anywhere but our house.
But now that I think about it, I could just cut it off and make it a shirt. hmmmm I will have to ask her what she wants to do with it.
