Tell your Katie I appreciate her enthusiasm!
I know it's likely to be warm. But first thing in the morning in CA is practically guaranteed to be WAY better than ANY time in FL last fall! So I'll bring it. I want to update this photo I took in June 2006. She'll probably just have it on for a bit, then change to shorts.
What a gorgeous picture! It is just perfect!
Thanks Teresa!
I hope we get to use this one. I felt bad that it never got worn. Heck, I don't even think she has tried it on!
And that apron pattern is ADORABLE!!
Thank you! I was so surprised to get it in the mail the other day!
Mother's day is right when we get home so I thought to make Mom's Jammies before we leave.
You are such a good daughter! I LOVE the kitty cat fabric! Where did you get that?
I love the old school ads and what a great find to have a dress form!!! Luckie!!!
Is that a great pattern! I was so happy to get the dress form. I told myself before I went to the sale that I wouldn't pay more than $25 for it. When I saw it was marked $35, I was hoping I could talk them down! I also got a box of really cute scrap material for .50 and some pretty Cinderellay fabric, 3yards for $1. They had some knits that I was contemplating, but decided to leave. I may go back tomorrow
Well its offficial I will be retiring June 30th went to Austin and did all my paperwork so I will be able to start sewing all the time. I think I actually have 48 working days left.
That is really exciting! Congratulations!
Thanks! When's the family reunion at WDW???
OK, I need to vent for a minute. I'm taking a girls trip in 8 days, I'm taking my 2 girls & meeting a friend that moved the end of last year & her daughter down at WDW. I have made all the arrangements, managed to trade my parents timeshare for a 3 BR place close for only $238, have my annual pass for free parking, am getting her cheap tix, & am making her kid clothes & a hat to match mine (only charging her for the cost of the shirts & shorts). So she's getting off really cheap which is the only way she could do it. I have all of the dinner ressies made & everything set up, but she takes soooo long to return my calls & e-mails that it's really frustrating me! She asked for a breakdown of the costs the other day, so I sent it & she still hasn't replied to it. GRRRR! I hope she winds up showing appreciation when we get down there.
OK, rant over, thanks for reading!
Well, I know my brother wants to go to Disney when the new Fantasyland is done, but I'm hoping we all go before that too!
Uggh,sorry you are not being appreciated like you should!
Not a great picture. My model is away, and she doesn't always co-operate. I CASEd this from someone on the board. Using the peasant top from YCMT. I liked the button idea, but Kirsta informed me that Snow White had a yellow "line", not buttons. And the red ribbon should be at the top, not where I put it. I made the hem in a hankerchief style that is popular now. And I'd like to find red bike shorts to go with it. I think it looks really cute on. Hopefully I can get her to model it for me, so you can hav a better idea of how it looks.
Sally, you are always so creative with your sets! I love this!
Teresa, I MUST have one of those Cinderella aprons and I don't care if you dance around the house nekkid in it or if you put it on foster tarp. It's a price I'm willing to pay.
You cracky me up T! I love you!
I still have to get a few tests done. We did find out my stomach empty's too slow (which seems a little funny to me since I feel like I have the opposite problem
), but they said this could be causing the nausea. They also took some biopsy's from both of my scopes this week so I am waiting on those results. They found one ulcer but said it was small so that it wasn't causing the problem, but they are checking that specific spot for chrones I guess. We'll see! Thanks for asking though. I have to have a spot taken off of my face next week so that is the next thing I am a little nervous about.
Did you see the baby giraffes?! I want to take my girls but don't have the $ right now to buy a new zoo pass. Hopefully we can go soon before the baby's get too big. They named one of the baby giraffes McKenna when our Makenna was little so she always loves to go and see them. Good job on the shirt too! So cute!
I hope they figure out it is something they can help you with soon!
I didn't go to the zoo, it was a Grandma / Granddaughter day.
But, yes they saw the baby giraffes!! Lydia was so excited! One was born in December, which is when her birthday is!
We MUST meet up at the zoo sometime!!! Like Heather said, our Mom buys the pass.
I have always done zippers (not THAT many) the old fashioned way- I read the insert directions and go from there, I usually do an invisible. But then I decided to google how to do a zipper, just to see what else came up. I was so happy I had a regular zipper in my supplies and it was green- perfect for a clown, but this method, the zipper is still hidden. I am in love!!!!
Everyone should be required to try this method!
I know!!! I so agree!!! We will spread the word!!
I'm also on a mission to get everyone to buy a bodkin for inserting elastic! It changed my life!
I've thought about it. But I haven't done anything like that since art class in the middle school. I see the fun Mickey tye die shirts, and would love to try one. But they scare me!!! I'm sure I'd make a huge horrid mess.
But, it would be fun! Lydia tie dyed a shirt the other day. I'd never done tie dye before, so it was a learning experience for both of us. It turned out pretty cute!
I'm always hoping to find irridescent (and that changes colors
) pink/blue fabric (that doesn't end up looking purple) for an Aurora dress .
Which Aunt sent you that pattern? That is so cool!!
Margarita!!
Aunt Penny sent it. At least, I'm pretty sure she did! It had no return address on it, but inside was a note that was signed "Penny" and it was from her town.
You like Margarita?
When I was taking her picture I felt like I should put some clothes on her!
How cool! Wow 39 cent fabric? Can you imagine?
Great deal on the dressform too! I would love to have one too but with my tiny space, I am afraid it would have to sleep with me!
Wouldn't that be cool! I have a very tiny space too, but I'm finding room for her!
Oh T, you have put a really bad image into my head!
We need to meet up with you at the zoo sometime! My mom gets the grandparents pass +2 adults and she can get in all of the grandkids and 2 adults for a year.
HEY!
Yep, I agree!!! A zoo Dismeet!
). I thought I would get a lot more sewing done but I organized my sewing room, played around with my new embroidery machine (and actually appliqued 4 things....thanks HeatherSue for such great designs), made a Big Give outfit, made another minnie dot shirt and today finished an Alice top. I have Aurora appliqued and the fabric washed and waiting to be cut out for that outfit.
