CastleCreations - I like your avatar. Brett was the cruise director when we were on the Wonder a couple years ago. I loved his voice.

Off to finish packing. :cool2:

I'm so jealous that you are on your way...
Yes, I adore Brent. He totally makes our cruise. I can't imagine cruising on another cruise line without him...:rotfl:

and by DD's request, the obligatory "action twirl" shot:

What a beautiful feliz! And I agree with your dd - you gotta have the twirl shot! She is going to be the hit of both parties!

The raglan is great, but your dd just looks so happy in that simply sweet! Love her expression - what a cutie!

OK, I found these 2 fabrics for my dds Easter dresses. What popped in my head when I saw them was CarlaC's precious dress for the top & attach the scallopini skirt for the bottom part--with the pink for the main dress & yellow peaking out below the scallops. What do you think? Is this doable? Anyone have a better suggestion? I have ALL of Carla's kids patterns & the vida.

I LOVE your precious/scallopini combo idea! It will look great!

Where did you find the yellow egg fabric? I would love to get some - that yellow is so pretty!

Here are my creations over the last month with my new machine:

It all looks great! I think the Daisy shirt is my fave - the flowered material makes it all the more special...
 
Welp, I just got burnt...ugh....
Anyone participate in a GAD volunteer blanket project where you could mail them in for credit?
I have to do this again... if you did can you let me know what state/zip and how many you had to do?
Thanks for your help.....
 
Teresa - we are going May 4th - 11th - it is a suprise trip for the girls - the plan is to not tell them til that morning. They are huge - "when are we going?", "is it time to go yet?" we are planning a trip with my parents in November so we still talk about going to Disney with them anyway.

How did you get burnt?

We did the blankets for the Orlando chapter. I think the zip is 32810. I am pretty sure you can mail to her. I think I still have her email address, if you want me to see if I find it?
 
Cute! I love the idea of adding the sash, it's going to coordinate great! Thanks for the compliment on the Feliz.

Thank you and your welcome. Your Feliz is just so gorgeous! I will attempt one someday.....It's so funny because I buy so much fabric with my feliz and Vida patterns in mind but I have yet to try and make one! :rotfl:

So pretty!! Thank you for posting pictures here! We encourage everyone to do that.



Have fun! When will you be there in May?



Have a wonderful trip!

Thank you Teresa. Oh, I know the question wasn't for me but we are going the end of May this year. I think we are going to miss you this time! Shucks!

I don't have much time today so I am going to just say everything posted is absolutely gorgeous!!! You ladies are so talented, and thank you for giving me the push I need to try new patterns and ideas!

I also wanted let you all know that since getting our sweet dog, Biscuit, we have gotten 3 solid nights of sleep. Samuel has not had a night terror or even a bad dream since we got her. She flies up the stairs with him for bedtime every night. I know it has only been 3 nights, but it has been three blissful nights of sleep for us! I will try and get a picture of her up sometime this week. She will look better when we can give her a real bath after the stitches come out Saturday morning.

Dawn :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:

That is wonderful news YAY! :woohoo::cheer2:

Great job! That pooh fabric is cute and I love the hoodie!


This is just too cute! I love the sash!

Thank you!

Beautiful dress! I love the bloomers too! What a little model you have there!

Thank you! Yes, she is quite the ham ;).

Julia is so cute in the Minnie Dress!!!

Thank you Wendy!

Why?? We are almost done with our 6 blankets for our chapter...what happened? We have to drop ours off at the Project Linus lady's house on a scheduled day. So sorry that happened!

We were holding off (well not really bought supplies already) waiting for a local organization to get approved to be a location. That fell through.... So I was fretting because I will have to search again and figure out something....
So now I sit here with fleece to make blankets and I can't find anyplace that will do it locally via email and mail. If I sign up for another location I am out the fleece money. :(

If anyone can share their location that would accept a mail in I would be so appreciative.:love:

I'm so happy Biscuit is helping so much! Night terrors are so awful!
Almost forgot...I meant to post this pic here too after doing it on the Big Give site, and my internet was acting up and I forgot until now. This is a trial run, just for fun dress for Ali...the buttonhole on the side is for her G-tube to exit and run around to a backpack. Her mom said she loves dresses, but can't usually wear them. I wanted to do a test to see if this works, so this is some fabric I had in my stash. It met with the approval of my 4yo, who really didn't want to give it up! LOL The dress is a bit shorter now, the requested length was 12", and I read 21", oops!

Rebecca modelling Ali's dress...Ali loves animals, and mom says her favorites change often, this print had so many, I thought it would work. I'm just waiting for the address, and I'll mail it tomorrow!

That looks adorable!!! I like the buttonhole idea!

We will be there the 7-17th, I'll keep my eyes open for you!

Thank you Teresa. Oh, I know the question wasn't for me but we are going the end of May this year. I think we are going to miss you this time! Shucks!
Shoot! I was hoping to see you guys again!

If you sign up at the location in my town, you could mail them to me and I'd take them in for you. PM me if you want the information.
 
Since I haven't been sewing lately, I thought I would post what my mom made Megan for Valentine's Day. She made a corduroy jumper that is lined with cotton little heart fabric (I think I spied some a-lines in the same fabric upthread) and embroidered these cute little kissing bunnies. Their tails are tiny yoyos that she made from fuzzy fabric and sewed on. Megan just loves it and wore it to school the Friday before Valentine's Day and to church today:

This is Carla's newest pattern which is so easy! I wish I hadn't used the stripes for the upper ruffle but Megan loves it so I guess it's ok.

IMG_2355.jpg


Can't wait until it's warm enough to wear it without a long sleeved shirt!

Sorry I haven't been keeping up as much as I like. I have been reading and admiring everything and praying for those who need it.
 
I haven't had time to quote everyone, but I love all of the recent creations!! I wish I had time to make all the things going on in my head, and the more of all of your awesome designs I see, the more ideas start running around... Right now I am working on a few more baby shower items.

I also wanted to say that I use the Singer Futura CE-250 for my embroidery and all my sewing and I have actually been very happy with it. I do wish I had a larger embroidery field, that is the only thing that might make me get a new machine some day. I have to resize most 5x7 designs down a little, which usually works out ok. I also remove the hoop mid-design all the time to trim applique, and have had no problem with the designs lining up.

I've never used any other embroidery machine, so maybe I don't know what I am missing, but overall I have been very happy with it. I don't seem to get the errors that others are referring to either. Maybe I just got lucky. I do wish for a larger embroidery field, but have yet to justify a more expensive machine.

Just my 2 cents. For the price I still think it was a good purchase.

Have a great night!
 
Piper- love the outfit!

OK, finally got over myself enough to take pics of the Alice Feliz this morning: it was a little challenging, because I wanted something both for the movie and the tea party; so it couldn't be too cartoonish, or too "out there" because it would have been "off" for the other event. I finally found some great fabric based on the illustrations from the original book. Figured that would work for both: so......

(please excuse the one serger thread hanging; I had her still and just need to thread it through the stitches, but wouldn't have been able to keep her in one place long enough- its fixed now LOL)
I'd planned on doing her hair in high bun piggies w/ raggy bows in the fabric, but now that's out; so I'm trying to figure that out- I'm open to ideas if anyone has em- Thanks!

WOW, that looks awesome!
 
Finished up a Stitch outfit for Ella last night. I hope we get to meet him again this trip - he was so fun with Caleb last time! Ella wasn't really into meeting anyone but princesses last time, but she seems excited to meet some more characters this time.

Closeup of fabric - it's a Japanese print that I bought from one of those sites that we don't talk about.

Working on a Wall-E bowling shirt for C and a Vida for E, but we are getting a snow/ice mixture here right now and our power has flickered a couple of times already this am. Hopefully we won't fully lose our power so that a) we can still have heat and b) so that I can sew today!

oh my gosh! SUPER CUTE!!! I hope my stuff turns out that great when i get started on it.

Where did you find the yellow egg fabric? I would love to get some - that yellow is so pretty!

Good, glad you don't think my idea is crazy! Hopefully I'll figure out the right length for the skirt!

I got the yellow egg fabric at my local quilting store: http://www.quiltingbythebay.com/ I got the last of the bolt, but don't know if they have more or not. It's called Hoppy Spring by clothworks--after searching online I found it here: http://www.glassthimble.com/store/clothworkshoppyspring.html (never bought from them, just found through a search)

BUSY GIRL!!!!! WOW!! Everything looks fabulous! Yes, I can see Daisy!
You've been busy! Everything is awesome - my favorite is the monkey a-line!
Wow!! you sure have been busy. It is great to see someone using their machine that much!!! I cand efinitely see Daisy! Love her!!

I got a few days away without the kids to "help" me sew ;) and managed to get a lot done! Glad you could find Daisy. When we found that flowered shirt, DH said it needed Daisy on it.
 
Gorgeous!



Rant coming:
Finished an Alice Feliz today for the movie (and for the tea party in June)... but I'm way too upset and frustrated to take pics of it. DD just cut her hair- again. She's 10 for heaven's sake; I know she has autism, etc. but sometimes I just want to stick my head in an oven over her behavior. We only just got it grown out from the last time. And then to find out why- "I got gum in it" Um, where'd the gum come from? (Grandma) I'm trying to be grateful that at least this time she cut a section out under the back; but it was only just to the point we could put it up again- Ugh! And my first thought, for better or for worse, was that we'd have to cancel the BBB appt we made 3 months ago- I can't think of any way to hide it the way they put their hair up... Sorry, I just ... ugh. I know it's not huge in the grand scheme of things but it just feels like a kick in the teeth every time. It's like living in the movie Jaws- just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water-

Ahhhh...so sorry she cut her hair. My DGD is 5 and has hair she can sit on. We have always expected her to do this someday but so far she loves her long hair and that hasn't been the case. I do have a couple friends that have children that have cut theirs. But you know....the good thing is that it does grow back and there is all kinds of cuteness to be said for shorter hair. If you can shape it up or give her a new style in the meantime, you might find you really like it. I think the Alice headband is a great idea too.

Piper- love the outfit!

BEAUTIFUL!!! I love the Alice fabric and the word fabric. My youngest DGD absolutely loves Alice (too young to take to the movie though) but I just may have to make her something with this. The dress and your DD are precious!

So cute!

I have been MIA this weekend....been busy with the grandkids (and had a blast being with them all weekend) and a couple's dinner for church, but I have made a couple things in the last week. I hope to get the pics of those up in the next day or so.

Everything posted in the last 3 days is absolutely gorgeous....
 
Ireland_Nicole...... Can you please tell me where you got that Alice fabric and the co-ordinating fabrics as well?? This is soooo cute.... and I have another grandbaby on the way (yes, that's right! For all you Henry fans out there- Henry's gonna be a big brother!).... and if it's a little girl it'd be soooo darling to make something for her out of this! Thanks.

Hey Steph!! Megan looks so adorable in her Valentines jumper - I love the cute bunnies!!! I like the new Carla pattern too!! Do you have to hem all the ruffliness at the top and bottom hem? Im tempted to get the pattern for the new Big Give with Ali, but not sure about it!! lol!!

All the fabric is from a new Windham line called adventures in Wonderland; it was released 2/15. I got it through a fabric coop. It's by referral only, and you have to be patient, but I've gotten great fabrics. I'd be happy to refer you if you want, just send me a pm. I just googled Windham adventures in wonderland and found quite a few hits, if that helps; I'd offer you what's left of mine, but I pretty much used the whole 5 yards of fabric on that dress.
