Those are really cute.


Speaking of baby patterns. Does anyone else find the Bubble pattern runs really big? I cut out a 3 mos, and it looks like it would fit a toddler. My little square, was 1 x 1, so it is not that I printed it wrong.

Well I am the proud new owner of a Brother ULT2001 and a new to me serger. It is like my sewing room is having babies but they will be worked.

Now for a completely different question- What would you prefer a cutting table or a counter height kitchen table. I am getting sick of using the bed for cutting.

Congrats on the new embroidery machine. You must post pictures of it! I use a serving table and it works great for me, better than the cramps from the floor.

Truth is...I dont want to make this clown suit. There I said.
Now. Im off to force myself to sew.
BUTT RUFFLES- How do you apply yours?

I know how you feel, I don't want to make elephant costumes either. I cut the back and sewed the ruffles to the top then sewed the bottom to the seam and so on. Sorry that was not clear at all.

Today is a lousy day....it is the fifth anniversary of the accident that took my mother's life and made my 8 year old become a different child.

Remember to kiss your kids an extra time today. No one is guaranteed another second on this earth. Tell everyone how much you love them...every day!

Nini, I know God has a plan and you will see your mom someday. It still is so very hard. I love the cute dress and I did hug DS today.

I just got back from my anatomy ultrasound and found out that we are having a girl!

Congrats!!!

Of course, I didn't listen to her, and she helped me design and make this cute little top. We used the Criss-cross top pattern from YCMT. It went together really quickly.

She thought she should sit in the tree in this outfit.

Very adorable and perfect for the zoo.

Can anyone tell me what chest size the largest Molly peasant or Cathy top goes to? The pattern says size 11/12, but not sure what chest size that corresponds to. I haven't bought either pattern yet, but if they will work for a 29.5" chest measurement then I will probably buy one of them for a big give top.

Thanks!

The Molly peasant and the Cathy top size 11/12 chest 28 1/4' - 30".

Aww cuute babies!
It's so fun to see how people grow!
I guess I'll share my little self lol

Back when Aurora wore blue!

See I had a pocahontas costume back then too!

And now to clean up the mountain I call my sewing table...

The school pics weren't by some chance taken in south Louisiana???? One of the teachers looks just like one of my good friends and the school looks like the elementary my kids attended.

Thanks guys! The first name we really like the most is Emily. Dd is Ashley so we think they go well together...short and sweet. The middle name I really wanted to use was Anne...because it is my grandma's and my MIL's middle name...but that would make her initials EAT. I just keep thinking...what if she is chunky and is teased with initials like that? Names we can't use are Lynne, Brooke, Elizabeth and Catherine. Soooo...that eliminates lots of the popular middle names...lol. I am totally open to suggestions!

I will be honest that I am scared to have two sisters. My sister and I are 2 years apart and STILL don't get along. And we have lived over 1,000 miles apart for over 9 years now. We are just polar opposites. I would hate for my girls to be like that too. I am hoping the large age difference might help. My dd will be about 2 months shy of turning 5 when number 2 arrives and will be in preschool half days.

I just finished up some digitizing and should be able to at least get started on two of the 4 dresses for our trip in two weeks. Dd went to the fabric store with me and her Tianna Barbie to help pick out the fabric for a Tianna dress. She was holding the doll up to the fabric and it was so cute. I was afraid that in her current "pink" kick she would change her mind but she went with exact color matches! I don't think I could have picked anything better actually. I can't believe next year I will be doing double the customs! I am really going to have to stop the procrastinating!

We check initials too - however my youngest DD is E---- L--- Frank so her initials are ELF and she was born Dec 3rd. She is my elf! We are very particular with names. When DD#1 was in utero we were discussing names and wanted to look at names in our family - my GreatGrandmom's name was Albina - she was from Italy - We called her Grandma Beans" My dad says "you can not name her after her then she'd be Beans Frank" --- My husband liked the name Eaton for a boy - I said no --- Eaton Frank, I don't think so."

How about Emily Rose or Emily Grace

Emily Claire
Emily Marie
Emily Louise
As you can see, I'm a fan of old fashioned names. BTW, I also like the suggestion of Emily Grace.

Wow!! That hair cut sure made a difference! It looks so full. Kirsta got her cut about the same length not long ago, and her's looks really full also. I think the outfit is adorable. I'm going to have to check out that pattern. .

She has SUCH thick hair! I really like that you can tell with this cut! And, it's SOOO much easier to brush now!!! I love it!

I really liked this pattern, I've actually had it for quite awhile, but I forgot I bought it!

Look how cute she is! the top is cute too.

Thanks Marlo!

Oh, no insult to tiny little things. (sometimes I wish my boys were tiny, then they wouldn't eat as much )

My boys are 8 and 12 right now, but their birthdays are coming up in June, then I will have an official teenager.

I didn't take offense, don't worry!
Teenagers aren't nearly as bad as you hear! Corey has been perfectly delightful! He was a HANDFUL up until he was about 8 or so, then things got better!

I did get one thing done today on the sewing projects. The ruffled diaper cover.

April that is the cutest little diaper cover I've ever seen! I would have LOVED those when my girls were babies!

Very adorable and perfect for the zoo.

Thanks! They had a lot of fun! The giraffes were even out, which made Lydia really happy! There were even some baby ones! She fed them lettuce!

Aww cuute babies!

Awww, you are so cute!!! How old are you in these pictures?
And, I don't think I ever caught what your name is? (I'm Teresa, but you probably figured that out already!)

We check initials too - however my youngest DD is E---- L--- Frank so her initials are ELF and she was born Dec 3rd. She is my elf! We are very particular with names. When DD#1 was in utero we were discussing names and wanted to look at names in our family - my GreatGrandmom's name was Albina - she was from Italy - We called her Grandma Beans" My dad says "you can not name her after her then she'd be Beans Frank" --- My husband liked the name Eaton for a boy - I said no --- Eaton Frank, I don't think so."

Beans Frank!!!! Eaton Frank!! I love those!!!!

My Mom's last name was Sult (pronounced Salt). One of her brothers use to say he was going to name a daughter Pepper Ann. But, no one did! I think that would have been so funny!

My friend has a DD named Emilie Alise.

Once again I am drooling over this tread instead of working. I have a question and I hope it doesn't sound too dumb. Can you use an embroidery machine for regular sewing?

I have killed two machines (both 25+ years old) I think it is time for a new one and am trying to decide what to get. I want an embroidery machine, but need to do regular sewing also and I can't afford two machines. My friend has a really fancy embroidery machine, but either she isn't threading it right or something as regular sewing on it is a pain.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I skipped 8+ pages but saw this and wanted to respond.

I have a combination sewing/embroidery machine. I mine! More to sew on, it sews like a dream! I have a friend who comes over and sews with me sometimes. She usually uses that one and I use my regular machine from Costco. Never any problems. Mine is an older model from 2001.

Well I am the proud new owner of a Brother ULT2001 and a new to me serger. It is like my sewing room is having babies but they will be worked::.

Now for a completely different question- What would you prefer a cutting table or a counter height kitchen table. I am getting sick of using the bed for cutting.

Yay for the new machines!! I don't have a cutting table. I currently use the floor.

I will be honest that I am scared to have two sisters. My sister and I are 2 years apart and STILL don't get along. And we have lived over 1,000 miles apart for over 9 years now. We are just polar opposites. I would hate for my girls to be like that too. I am hoping the large age difference might help. My dd will be about 2 months shy of turning 5 when number 2 arrives and will be in preschool half days.

I had to tell you about a little girl we used to have in the daycare. Her name was Emily Nicole and her last name started with a "D". So, her initials spelled "END". They did that on purpose because she was going to be their last!

NICOLE - I am planning on going to the Sisboom sale. We need to meet up. I am currently planning on coming down on the Friday so I can meet Carla before she heads home on Saturday. We should meet - the big girls can play with Louie while we moms and babys talk.

I finally uploaded some pics so I just have to share some of Megan. She is 5 months old this week. She is a BIG girl - wearing size 9 -12 months already. I made her a pair of easy fits last week and had to make a size 2 to fit over her cloth bum. The aline I made was a size 1/2!

I'm so jealous that you all get to go to the JP sale! I wasn't sure if you'd want me to announce that you were going, so I'm glad that you piped in!

Megan is such a beautiful baby!! She looks like her Mama!! She has such gorgeous eyes!

I totally love my table, which is a counter height bar type table that DH put a top onto for me to make it the size I wanted. I think this would be similar to a counter height kitchen table. I have never had nor tried an actual cutting table, so I can't compare I suppose.

I know I posted this pic before, but this shows my table. Not huge, but it does the trick for most things. When I need to lay out something large I use the pool table (which is at the other end of the room), but it is too low and it kills my back to work at it for very long.

If you look closely you can see that it was a round table before DH added the top. We bought the table and chairs originally to sit at while playing pool, but noone really uses the pool table anyway, so now I use the chairs to pile things on, as you can see.

That is such a fantastic sewing area!!

So, I'm just sorting out which pics from our March cruise that I want to print and frame, and I thought I would share 2 of my favourites with you.






And one more to show just how big my little boys are getting

You have such a great looking family! I love your red dress- very pretty!

Stacey, Megan is so adorable!!! I can't believe she is 5 months already!!! I would just love to give her a big squeeze!

Now Teresa, what have I told you about walking around squeezing other people's babies?

Congrats on your new machines. Hmmm? Not sure which I would prefer. I used to use the floor (or kitchen table if there was nothing on it). I have graduated to the coffee table now! LOL! But seriously because I like to be next to Lin and Dallas as much as possible I love coming out in the living room to cut!

 

[RMAMom]

I have really enjoyed all of the baby pictures!!!!


Emily Rose is a favorite of mine but that's because its my DGD name.
I really like Emily Claire and Emily Grace. I am also partial to the older names.

 

[NiniMorris]

I have to say....I am one of those that always check the initials...

I had a friend that had the initials of CRO...got married and her initials were COW, unless you use all four initials, then it was CROW!!

I have a sister in law that named her youngest daughter after her favorite TV show...Kate Ann Alley.....no joke...


Of course, my youngest daughter's initials are BLAM...of course she came to us with the BLA...we just added the hypen and the M!

3.)Now Teresa, what have I told you about walking around squeezing other people's babies?

1.)I had forgotten about that! I had to stop and think which Emily that was! But, I figured it out!

2.) Me too! But, I think it's the same time as I will be going to Florida, so I won't dwell on it!

3.) I know! Sorry!
