Disboutiquers Part 20 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

His is taking an antidepressant, although he changed a few months ago, and won't discuss whether he needs a med adjustment. I asked him to see a counselor with me, and he flatly refused.

I hope he changes his mind. Depression can really do some uncharacteristic things to people.

I am going to SEW next week! The basewide yard sale is done and behind us. It took us two trips to get everything out to the location but only one trip to get what was left back home. We made $108.50!!!! That is going towards our December Disney trip. And then, surprise--DH decided he wants to head out there again next time they have one so we're holding on to our clutter for one more round rather than giving it away to the thrift store. So I guess we're one step ahead on the yard sale game now. LOL

Soooooo, Monday, my plan for Kaitlyn's afternoon naptime is to cut out the fabric for my blouse for our generational photo and start sewing!!!

Oh, and y'all, keep posting the link to vote for Teresa. It's easier for my baby-mommy brain to remember to head over and vote when I see it here.

Yay!!! I'm glad you did so well! I REALLY need to have a yard sale. Or, just take the stuff somewhere!

If no one posts the link to vote, it's on my blog.

I haven't wanted to post here about this, but I would appreciate prayers from those of you who don't mind. My husband of 11 years has struggled w/ depression on and off over the last 7 years. Suddenly, a month and a half ago he just "shut down" emotionally- coincidentally, right after we went away for a weekend and had a wonderful time. He hasn't spoken to me since, except for the truly necessary whos picking up the kids, etc. Today he said he's not sure if he loves me anymore or wants to be married anymore. he says there's no one else and that he hasn't made up his mind. I'm completely stunned, confused and overwhelmed. I still love him as much or more as the day I married him, and had no idea this was coming.

Would y'all pray that he would find peace and wisdom, and that if it's God's will he would find his way home?

Thanks.

ETA: I know it might seem strange to post here, but I consider y'all friends, and I know we pray for each other a lot when needed. It's very humbling to ask for prayers for this. I know I must have done something wrong, and I just can't figure out what it is.

I am praying for peace and comfort and that things will work out! I'll keep you in my thoughts...hugs!

I've been thinking about you a whole lot lately. I've read your thread over on the disabilities board and wondered why you hadn't posted in this thread since you spend most of your time here and are amongst friends. I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this. I don't know how you have dealt with it all. You certainly have had your hands full these past few months. I hope and pray that your DH gets his issues straightened out so you all can be a family. He needs to realize that his family needs him.

So sorry Nicole. I can totally relate. I went through this many years ago myself. It didn't turn out like I hoped but I DO KNOW that God was my strength through it all. I will be praying for you. I hope it all turns around and he realizes what riches he has in a family and that he needs you as much as you need him.

Nicole - Praying for you.

Hey everyone! I haven't posted in forever, but I've been lurking and as always everyone's work is amazing!! My older son't imaginary friend is named Bambi, so he was in love with the Bambi appliques!
I have 2 questions I'm hoping someone can answer. First, has anyone made the boutique easter baskets from YCMT? She calls for stabilizer and spray adhesive, but I'm wondering if I can use fusible interfacing. Has anyone done this with success?
Second, I lost the quote, but someone made the cutest little boxer briefs a few pages back and wondering what pattern you used. I have two little boys in underwear these days and I'd love to be able to whip some out!

I just finished my first three of 10 boutique Easter baskets. I didn't have any of the stabilizer and spray adhesive...so I just used some batting. I sewed around the edges, then completed the construction as described (more or less...I can NEVER follow directions completely!) They turned out really cute. Of course I used some of Heather Sue's cute Easter appliques on them... I'm sure you could use fusible interfacing on them. Mine probably aren't as 'stiff' as her's are, but I really like the pouffy-ness the batting gives them.





++++++

Nicole,

Sorry for you having to go through what you are right now. I went through something very similar about 15 years ago. He announced on Easter that he wanted out of the marriage. It was long and painful. He didn't want to work on it. I can tell you that mine had a happy ending. we have been married for 33 years now. Depression can do strange things to you.

I will be praying and hoping for you and your family.





Nini

Before I go totally insane.... please help.

Has anyone ever seen a pattern similar to this skirt?

My 13yo saw this in Hot Topic tonight...and wants it. I just can't see spending $36 on a skirt that was 3 layers(of mostly tulle and lace) and elastic.

I've been searching online the last hour...and I know I'm missing something. I can't even find anything similar that I can modify the pattern.



(I also want to add an inch....or three to the length )

So I finally get time to sew the outfits needed for the upcoming weekend and my machine had a major tantrum. It won't work. I press th pedal and it goes down but has to be pulled up manually. Please machine shop be open tomorrow. If anyone has any ideas to try or prepare me for the bill, please tell me. I have a Bernina Activa 145a.

I can't prepare you, cause I have no clue.

But that sucks. Hopefully it's a quick, cheap fix.

 

[weluvdizne]

Please say an extra prayer for Mya and her mom. It looks like they are having a difficult night. God bless them!

They have an update on her caring bridge site. Don't have a link handy, sorry.

Thank you.

I was in the midst of hemming Halloween costumes 3 days before our trip and we were doing MNSSHP. I was freaking out! I just had a cheap machine from Walmart, and this was the time when DH stepped up and told me I could get a new machine!!!! Sorry, I have no idea how much your repair will be. Maybe you just need a new pedal? Hope it's a small bill for you and they can fix it quick! Let us know how it goes. Maybe you'll be surprised with a new machine, too.

With Bernina it is never cheap. I did try the quilters knee thing incase it was the pedal but no luck. The ironic thing is that I was trying to convince DH that I would need another machine as I am sewing for more people.

Thanks for all your help. Guess I just don't cut it in the Dis Boutique crowd. Have at it girls. Your clothes are great but you are too much of a clique for me.

I am not sure what this means. Did you have a question that did not get answered? This thread moves a little fast sometimes and things can get missed.

Uniquely Young... First off Second, don't leave yet. Give everyone a chance. Your posts may just have gotten over looked. I know I have seen posts that someone quoted else but I had never seen the original post even though I thought I had read them all. Sometimes there's just too much to comment on all of them. I know a lot of my posts seem to go unnoticed but then other posts get responses.

If you had a question, go ahead and reask it. It may be that the right person that could answer you, had not seen your post.
