Oh.. YAY FOR WICKED TOMORROW NIGHT!! FRONT ROW SEATS!! YIPEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a dream come true for me.
Please don't think I'm nuts. If I screamed that outloud right now irl my hubby would laugh at me.

I wanted to make a shirt for myself that says "Defying Gravity" across the chest.. then I thought about it some more and realized it was a bad idea.

FUN!! I've seen it twice, in Chicago and in Omaha. It's brilliant and you'll love it Make the shirt girl!! Enjoy yourself!!

Hi all! We took our pettiskirted children to the boardwalk Easter Sunday! What a blast! The weather was unusually warm and they even had an egghunt on the beach!!! They got lots of compliments on the skirts! Thanks Teresa for making sure we got them on time and helping us pick out such pretty colors!

What pretty little girls!! And those pettis are so CUTE!! What a fun Easter, on the beach!! I'm totally jealous!!

So I may have done something crazy.... I have been looking at embroidery/sewing combos to upgrade to. Had my heart set on Brother, either the Duetta 4500D or the Quattro 6000D, but of course they are very expensive. I have been watching that website to get an idea of prices of used machines and pricing new machines as well.

Anyway, this morning there was a listing for a used 4500D duetta that had been owned/used by Jillian Lewis who is a famous designer (although I had never heard of her). I looked up her website and called the contact # and left a message saying that I was interested in the machine but wanted to verify that it really was listed by them.

Anyway, I got a call back from someone that works for her, and he confirmed that she was selling it, and that it had been given to her by Brother as she is a spokesperson for them. Looked and sounded legit.

So anyway, I just purchased a used Brother Duetta 4500D for $2400.

Lets hope it really is in as good condition as they claim! I think I got it for a very good price based on what I have been seeing used machines going for. Claims to have owned it for just over a year, but I don't know the stitch count. I forgot to ask, and I was too anxious to wait for another response, so I just went ahead and purchased!

So I will be updating in a few days hopefully to let you know if I got a good deal! I am so excited, ! Let's hope I am not let down.

Wow, that's an awesom deal!! My Duetta was $4,500 and a gently used floor model. Best wishes to you, be sure to let us know when it arrives!!

I know Mya is at peace with the lord. I pray for her mother's broken heart.

I too pray for Mya's family and her mother's broken heart. I am glad she is free from pain and at peace, but saddened at the same time.

I got an email from Jillian Lewis (the 'celebrity designer' who sold the machine) and she said she didn't really use the embroidery function, just the utility stitches. Can't wait to get it!!

I know a while back I googled and found a super easy pattern for a halter shirt for a toddler...the problem is now I have no idea where I found it!! Anyone know of a really easy (and free) pattern/template/guide out there? I think I found it on someone's website and they gave a step by step guide w/ pictures....Thanks ladies!

I am heartbroken--I can't imagine what Shardai must be going through! I am glad Mya is out of pain--she went through more than any child should have to.

This breaks my heart even though we knew this day was coming and I am glad that her fight and her pain is over.

T!!!! Miss ya!

 

[HeatherSue]

I'm heartbroken over the news of Mya. While I'm relieved that she is free from her pain, I also realize that her mother's pain will go on for the rest of her life. Poor Shardai....

T. I've been missing you.

 

[t-beri]

Thank you Heather and Jeanne. It's nice to know.

Does anyone else feel compelled to hold onto their children and NOT let them go right now? And WHY is this always so hard. We know by the very nature of our Big Gives that the passing of some of our participants is inevitable and yet in the (is it 2 years already?) time we've been doing it it has been heart breaking to see these kids lose their fight. I am so glad to be a part of a group of such wonderful people helping to bring smiles to their faces and WONDERFUL memories to their parents to hold onto.
THANK YOU DISBOUTIQUERS for being who you are.

I feel exactly the same way. And BTW, I totally miss you too!!!!

Missed you too T...glad you are around and ok!

I am sending blessings to Mya's family and am truly sorry to hear of their loss. I can't imagine what they are going through...

A wise person once told me to let those who need to go - for it would be selfish to keep them. She is now free....

(This makes me so deeply sad.... )

 

[cydswipe]

My heart goes out to those who love Mya. I think I came in a little late on reading/ helping with her give, but have since followed her story. Always sad to hear of a loss of a child. God bless her and her family.

Thank you to everyone for suggestions on the clown outfit! I have to go do some more research now.

Hannah's eye appointment- so she still has strabismus with esotropia and one eye has an "upward shoot" Which means it turns in and up at the same time, both eyes do it so she will have to have surgery on both eyes. 2 muscles on her left and 1 on her right.
scheduled for April 27
ETA: The Dr said she has no depth perception whatsoever and that it's not unusual to see young children develop much faster and become much more abulatory. So while I am pleased we can help her, anxious that she has to go thru, and excited to see her have a desire to move more. Right now she will sit up and scoot a tiny bit on her butt, but will only reach for toys within a short radius, I think this is because she can't see the toys further away from her or even things I hold too far from her face.

They say its a 1 hour procedure (so not too long to be "under") and will go home with out a patch or anything and will only need tylenol afterwards and her eyes may feel scratchy to her for a day or so. She has a 50% chance of needing it again- but he rarely sees it happen, he's been doing this for 35 years and the lady who schedules surgeries told us he has children from other parts of the USA as well as other countries come to him.
Her surgery will take place a a Children's Hospital, so all pediatric experts.

Hey - thats great you got a date so quickly - hopefully it will be done and overwith before you know it!! One mom I know said the surgery was tougher on her than it was for her little boy - lol!!! When your depth perception is off ( and your eyes arent working together as a team) its so hard to judge your environment! Once she is seeing better, you better watch out!!!! That girl's gonna be movin and groovin!!

While we are on the subject of embroidery software(well, sort of on the previous page)....does anyone have the Ped-Basic that you download from the computer to a memory card with? As we have already discussed, my new Brother machine does not have USB port and I was wondering if this is a good one to buy?

I have this and find it soooo simple to use!! I got it off the Joann's website when they had a 50% off coupon code!! I dont know the price on the brother site though. BUt truely, once I figured out how to unzip files i was good to go!!

Cathy - the girls looked like they were havin fun in their petti's!!!

Praying for Shardai - I cant even imagine how hard it was for her to just leave the hospital today ....we gotta keep praying for her - the next week will be so rough as she sets up the funeral and everthing.....

T! It's SO GOOD to see you! I've missed you, friend!

and yes, I/we should know that this is going to happen. As much as I knew that Mya's time was limited, and as grateful that I am that she is no longer suffering, this STILL hit me hard. Really, really hard!
I'm so heartbroken for Shardai. And I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to be involved in Mya's life, even if in a very small way!
