[QuiverofArrows]

Alicia, Levi's headstone is gorgeous. I believe I first reading about your family when I first started reading the DisBoutique boards and have never forgotten you and your precious little man.

 

[QuiverofArrows]

Castle Creations~I hope everything is okay with you. Your daughters are too beautiful and you have the most amazing creations. Your creations were the first ones I ever saw that made me drool and know somehow, some day, I had to know how to do a portion of what you did. I'm sorry to hear you won't be sewing but thank you for sharing with us your beautiful work.

It's beautiful Alicia.

I made a couple of shirts for my neice (17) who leaves for her Make A Wish trip this Friday. They'll be arriving to Disney just as I am leaving.

I made Make A Wish shirts for her, her DB and DSis.

I had an extra shirt, so I made her favorite character, Stitch.

The little hands are DD hiding. Thank you to those who pointed me in the right direction for finding the transfers.

After my shower yesterday, I went by the cemetary. Levi's stone has been set!!!! It was very bittersweet. I practically hugged it (I guess having something tangible got to me) and wailed. I'm surprised I didn't stop traffic.

Just beautiful, the headstone and the poem. Brought tears to my eyes.

Does anyone have a Janome 300E embroidery machine? I really want to get one ASAP, I am off work for a few weeks (ankle surgery) and I really can't go shopping at local stores because I can't drive. But I will have plenty of time to learn to use it. I know alot of you all get hoop envy with only having the a 5 x 7 hoop, is the hoop envy really that bad. Just not sure I can swing a machine with a 6 x 10 hoop right now. Looks like I could get a Janome 300E for $899. Any thoughts ??!! Thanks

Well apparently there's a heat wave in Orlando--it was in the 90s today & HOT at Animal Kingdom. Here's a picture of us on our girls trip. I made me a shirt using Heather's Mickey swirl. I used a variegated black/white thread to kinda' give it a zebra look (at least that's what I was going for):

Alicia, it's just beautiful. And, I love that you and Gabriel are in the picture too.

I love the skirts Teresa! OM goodness! 5 days! You better get to work girl! lol! Have a great time on vacation!

Thank you! I'm starting to get nervous!!

I know I already told you this, but I just adore these skirts! The girls look so cute in them!!!! I love the blue Mickey fabric with the yellow, black, and red!

Why thank you Heather!

Here's my Audrey skirt I made from the test version. I love the way it turned out! Tessa wanted me to make a Spongebob skirt. First she wanted me to make the front yellow and put Spongebob's face on it. Then, I got to thinking of where his eyeballs would fall... So, I had to nix that idea and we went with "Spongebob-esque" flowers on the front instead. I still want to make her a Spongebob shirt to go with it to wear at Universal Hollywood.

Lisa gave me the go-ahead to post some pictures. But, the pattern isn't out just yet! This is a 5/6, lengthened to a 7/8.

The settings on my camera were a little screwy for some of these.

Tessa looks beautiful! I love your skirt, it's so pretty!!!!

Well.......... Kirsta was being semi sort of co-operative. I got her to try some things on to show you. But only on over her existing outfit with petti skirt, that she was playing in.

Anyone recognise this fabric? I knew what I wanted, but I spent over a year looking for something to co-ordinate with it. I wish I had more. I'd love to make my 4yo neice an outfit similar to this.

You've seen this one:

And we'll do a Pirate day:

I love what you did with the fabric from Camelotcats!!! It looks so cute!!! I was just thinking that I'd like to make Carla's ruffle skirt with it.

The Snow Whit looks really cute on! And, I LOVE the pirate outfit!!! Where did you find that fabric?

I have Joci's Dory dress most of the way done - have to decide on fasteners. It needs to be ironed better and the pics are not straight but there it is.

WOW!!! This really turned out cute!!!! I love Dory in a bubble!! and, that ruffle is gorgeous!

I'm so excited because I just booked a trip for Sept. We will be there from the 11th to the 18th. I convinced my dh to drive, I hope it goes smoothly. Flying just stresses me out anymore, between luggage fees and things you can't have on carryons and lining up and waiting, it just stresses me out.

Since we are driving, we are able to bring a friend of my oldest dd's with us, so I'm excited about that too!

I finally got reservations for Chef Mickey's. We've never eaten there and it has been more elusive to me than Cinderella's Royal Breakfast.

I need to really get sewing

I kind of miss driving down. Flying makes me very stressed too! You guys are going to have a great time!

Hi Everyone,

here are some pillowcases I made for Tyler's Big Give!!

These are really cute Wendy!

Finally completed an outfit for DGD for December trip.. for Chef Mickey's. Now let's just hope I get a reservation! And I see that the yellow fabric bled a little into the white when I hand washed it last night and I didn't notice it until after I dried it. Ugh, let's hope I can get the stain out, but if not I'm sure it will get stained anyway when she wears it. LOL!

Ellen, I LOOVE this outfit!!! The fabrics are perfect together, and that apron is just adorable!!! I can't see where the yellow bled.

Just say it's mustard! It looks more authentic to have a stain on an apron anyway!!

Did you get another tag? I don't remember the toilet paper one.

Here are the few things that I have made recently:

Tink dress with Easy Fit pants for my 2 year old niece (thanks for the tip and directions to add the elastic under the arm holes)

A Diego baseball outfit for my 3 1/2 year old nephew

A hawaiian shirt that I made for my husband to wear to the Jimmy Buffet concert last week. I used a Simplicity pattern and have to say that I was more then a little frustrated. There is no way I could have done this pattern without having first done CarlaC's bowling shirt.
Front:

Back:

A close up the applique. This was the first thing that I have done that was more complicated then a Minnie Head but it wasn't too bad (of course I could not have done it without HeatherSue's tutorial and all the great inspiration from this board)

I love the kids outfits!!! And, your husband's shirt is wonderful!!! How cool that you got to sew something for him!

I didn't realize your niece was going on a Wish trip. I hope she has a great time! Are they staying at GKTW?

I'm glad you posted this picture, now I know what/who I'm looking for!

Do you think Zoey is trying to tell me something? I am NOT packing her in with the pillowcases!!!

I am totally in love with your shirt!! ITs AWESOME and totally zebra like!! I'd love to make one, but not sure it would have the same effect with my 4x4 hoop - but, maybe I'll try!!! Great job!

 

[DisneyKings]

Well, it was down-right HOT today! I think it will be back to warm by the time you get here.

That's why I took & posted that pic!

Thanks! My DH did not act too impressed, so I was hoping it looked zebra-like. I did the 5x7 on the side for mine. It certainly was quick & easy to do!

Another Disser at the World! I'll be joining you tomorrow. Love your shirt.

Yes, they are staying at GKTW. Problem though, DNeice is sick right now running a fever and complaining of sever stomach aches. She sees a doctor tomorrow morning (Monday). Hasn't done this in months. I hope it is only the excitement that is making her sick.

 

[NaeNae]

Here are a few things I've made but haven't posted.

I made this dress for DGD4 to wear for her Easter program at preschool. When she was getting dressed that morning, she pulled on it so hard that she ripped the skirt from the bodice and didn't get to wear it. I repaired it and she loves it.

DGD4 had a Princess & the Frog birthday party. I made her a special outfit for her party. She didn't want to stop playing for me to take her picture.

The designs on her pants are HeatherSue's.

I didn't make this but I thought it turn out soooooooo cute that I wanted to show it.

DGD4 loves alligators so we had to show case her favorite character of the movie.

 

[billwendy]

EEyor - I hope your neice feels better really quick!!! GKTW is so awesome!! We just got back from there and had a ball!! Make sure they pack an empty bag to bring back stuff in!!!! She will get spoiled!!

NaeNAe - beautiful!! and that alligator cake is so cool!!

Almost done my trip report - another installment is finished...its in 2 parts because of the amt of pictures !! I think you will have to scroll up a post to see the first part...

That's the readers digest version, shared to let y'all know that it truly doesn't matter how our families are formed; that it is love that makes us mothers, not biology. And that it's ok to grieve a birth experience that was different than we dreamed about when we first got married, or thought about kids.

Thanks for shaing and saying that. My birth experience was tough and I still regret so many things that happened, but when I find myself obsessing I try to remind myself that all I prayed for was a healthy baby - and she is and that is an incredible blessing. If I get the chance to do this again, I will try for a better experience, but I know that I don't get to choose how things will work out in the end

Good luck!

How old is she in these pictures?? I am trying to think of what to make my DD for her first trip(s). . .

This came out so cute!!! What pattern did you use again?? My MIL made my DH this costume when he was a toddler - so I'd love to find it for her to make DD one when she gets older!

After my shower yesterday, I went by the cemetary. Levi's stone has been set!!!! It was very bittersweet. I practically hugged it (I guess having something tangible got to me) and wailed. I'm surprised I didn't stop traffic.

Sorry, I don't have that machine. I can say that I bought a Singer Futura CE-250 which only goes to 4.5" x 6.67" and while I love it, I did start having hoop envy. I recently bought a "new" used machine that goes up to 7x12, but I took it in for service so I really haven't gotten to play yet. I was happy with my small hoop for about 3 years, and I still do love my Singer (even though most people here don't), but wanted the bigger hoop and more automated features of the brother I'm getting.

I really do love the shirt, I may have to do something like that for me for our Dec trip.

I love the tiana outfit! The cake is great too, such a good idea!!

 

[Eyore4Ever149]

Adi- It's Simplicity 9806, it's out of print, but you can find it around. from the 1980s I think.
Use a larger strip of bias tape on the neck.
BUY LOTS of rick rack! I think it took 3 or 4 packages. So look on the "bolts" of rick rack first maybe.

AND....did you know they aren't Pom-Poms...they are Pom PONS!

 

[aksunshine]

It is beautiful, Alicia. I read the poem on the back, just perfect.

It's beautiful!!! What a tribute! I'm getting all teary now. Glad everything came together.

The stone looks beautiful, and the poem you wrote was really beautiful also.

Beautiful!!! I'll be in Disney on Levi's birthday. I'll be thinking of you and your angel.

If you are in Mk, ride Dumbo for us! I'd love a picture.

I'm happy you were able to get his headstone. The poem you wrote is beautiful. I remember seeing Levi in pictures you took of outfits that you had hand sewn. He truly is an angel. God Bless you and yours.

It's hard to believe that has been so long ago.

That is beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. The toys on the front are my undoing. Bless your heart.

I need to really get sewing

What a beautiful memorial to your son. Your poem brought me to tears.

I have never ordered online but I frequently shop at their main store which is about 5minutes from my house. They have a ton of fabric.



Love the headstone. It's beautiful.

Oh my goodness. That is just beautiful! It made me cry! Absolutely wonderful poem, and the fact that you wrote it makes it even more special.

Awww...thanks. I hadn't thought of it that way/

Thank you so much everyone (Adi, too, somehow I lost your qoute). It is so wonderful to have it set. I set up a dove release for the service and I got MH balloons. I think we are almost ready.
