I had to comment on this post. Your puppy is so cute, but brings me to tears.

On Monday afternoon we said goodbye to our almost 14 year old Springer Spaniel Pepper.

I know it will get easier over time, but for now we are really sad.

I am trying to focus on getting ready for our trip to Disney in 10 days and finishing up baby gifts and a customer order. Hoping for sunshine

Ellen I am so so sorry for your loss.

I have a question about the Brother 770. I bought one a while back and have yet to take it out of the box. Just haven't had time since Christmas. I want to buy some of HeatherSue's patterns before she closes up shop for her trip and need to know what I have to have to transfer the patterns from the computer to the embroidery machine. I'm kind of a dunce with this kind of stuff.

I really want to learn my machine so I can start participating in the Big Gives. Any help appreciated!

One tip...don't put the whole FOLDER on the usb stick. Only the ONE design you want to use! (ask me how I know!) You can put multiple designs on one stick...just not a whole folder.

cant help you with what kind of machine but can help you with dh.
you justify that customs cost "x" amount and you can either buy "x" amount of customs or you can buy a machine and do it yourself thereby saving him much more $$ in the long run.
(if there was a wicked smiley I would place it here)
for instance you say " hh, customs like this cost $200 each, ( back up with ebay listings and facebook listings and actual sites for sale) so you can either let me buy all these customs i NEED, or you can just buy the machine for $600. $600 for machine and unlimited customs, or $600 for 3 customs, whats it gonna be?

Too Funny! I actually convinced my hubby last year that it was a good deal using very similar logic! Only since we had roughly 140 t shirts...at a minimum of $20 each... he decided it was a good deal...

Super cute projects being posted. Since my dd isn't wearing customs anymore I have gotten more creative in my sewing projects for her. My latest is a name applique pillow. She requested it be in her cheer gym colors of black, white and turquoise. I made hers as a test & now I have to make one for my new niece to be & 2 for her step-siblings to give as baby shower gifts....better get back to my machine!!

Since Mallory got her package yesterday it's time to share pics of what I made for her Big Give:
A Minnie/Mickey patchwork twirl which is very similar to the one I made for my dd last year -- I made Mallory's a bit more detailed (shhhh! Don't tell my dd that!). Jen (Clairemolly) is going to make a coordinating t for it.
A hairbow
Coordinating bracelets for Mom and Mallory
Earrings for mom

This is sooo adorable-Love it

So cute!!!

There has been sooo much cool stuff on here lately!!! We have been in the middle of some house repairs after we had some major water damage...but after seeing everyone's amazing work I had to pull out my fabric stash and started cutting fabric, even if I can't sew I can get some things ready to go!

depending on where you saved it to on your computer( and what computer you have) :just double click the zip file and then next screen should show you each individual file and size. hope this helps

Here's all of them together:

I just love these. I don't have the patience for this little work.

HELP! My machine seems to be on its last leg. Just hoping I get through the last few projects before our trip in 10 days! I am going to have to replace it because it is old and would cost too much to get it fixed. SOOOO...I need some suggestions for a new sewing machine..I don't want to spend a lot and I don't need an embroidery machine yet...need to save up for that one. I want to keep it under $500, and closer to $300 if I can. Since we just bought a house and are buying a car TODAY, it will be hard to convice dh that I need a machine.

I have 2 Janomes and they are really sturdy. One is from my Mother and it is a pretty basic machine. I had the Brother CS6000i, and it broke after about 4 months. Brother said it would cost more to repair it then to buy a new one, with warranty. So that was $150 thrown out the window. I ended up buying a really nice used Janome that was traded for an upgrade at the Sewing store. I really love it.

Look at this great Cricut idea!! I found it over on Sewforum:

She got the vinyl from HHSupply.

And look at this one:

She used On the jeep and the front door & used Oracal 651 which has a glossy vinyl that is made for outdoor use and has a 6 yr. life span. Anything done indoor is Oracal 631 which has a matt finish and 3 year life span.

Now I think I NEED a Cricut!!

OK, LOVE the jeans! I have a questioon though. When you do things on the legs of jeans like that, do youjust rip open the seam so it will go on the hoop? or is there an easier way to do it that I just haven't thougth of yet?

I use a free copy of Winzip to download them - try to organize them as you go or you will end up with a million designs all over the place - lol!!! Which one did you get????

Oh Ellen, so sorry bout your Peppergirl - we love our fur babies!!!! HUGS!!

I am so jealous of all you guys going to Disney for a meet!!! WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! I hope you all have a wonderful time and take some pictures!!!

Grrrr. I haven't figured it out yet. I download Winzip??? THEN double click on the file??? (I have Windows Vista, and this is my first time using a USB thingy if that explains anything .)

I got Mickey and Minnie heads. I want to do the Minnie head to go with the patchwork skirt I'm working on -- when I'm not shoveling the driveway.

On Monday afternoon we said goodbye to our almost 14 year old Springer Spaniel Pepper.

Sending some hugs your way Losing a pet is so hard. My sweet old cat (my first baby) is not doing well and I am having to hospitalize him while we are in Disney. Hate to leave him there even though I know its the best thing for him. I just hope he makes it through the week we are gone. I definitely don't want to get that phone call while we are gone.

An added nice note is that our Vet is a Disney freak. She just got back (she ran the 1/2 marathon) and said she goes at least 3 times a year. Her parents are DVC owners with around 500 pts. She was telling me when she and her boyfriend first started dating she said, "if I ever have to choose between you and my dog, I will choose my dog" and "if you don't understand and support my Disney obsession, let's just call it quits now!" I so get her and love that she is looking at for my sweet old boy.

Let me be the first to say SMFTPICQACOTA!!

I love all the outfits, puppies, and projects!

I am trying to talk myself back into going to Disney AFTER I talked myself out of and made a proclaimation that I couldn't go this year.

I am having surgery in March (finally!) so I can't go for a last AP hurrah so I think it's going to be the beginning of summer. I have to figure out how to recant my statement! lol

Lots to great stuff and Ellenbenny - I miss mine too!

Yes - download and install the free version of winzip.

Then when you double click on a zipped file and unzip it.

Then I usually grab the opened file and put it into a folder in my embroidery file.

Then I put my memory stick into my computer, drag and drop my embroidery files onto the memory stick.

Plug the memory stick into your machine and turn it on - you should be able to see them.......

to you Ellen it is so hard to say good-bye , take care of yourself

The colors look great!

Thanks again everyone for the kind words about our sweet girl Pepper. It has been a rough few days, but it really does help to know that I have friends that understand.
