Lydia looks so cute in that dress too. Hope you don't have to reschedule your trip (see how I said reschedule and not not cancel).
Thanks! I'm also hoping it's more of a reschedule! Corey, our son, won't be able to go if we go in May. That is just about tearing my heart out! Yes, he's 18, but we've never been on a vacation without him before! Funny, I wouldn't feel as bad if HE were the one leaving US! Just the thought of leaving my child at home makes me feel like I'm abandoning him! it doesn't help that he (Corey) mentioned that if we went in October, that he could probably go. He really loves Disney. And, another problem is, I'm now having a hard time finding cheap tickets! Which is probably compounded by the fact that I'm almost hoping to NOT find them!!

Uggh, this being a Mom stuff is hard!
I loving watching the dress go through the years! Both Lydia and Leighanna looked so cute in it!
Thanks Jessica! I just loved how pretty this dress is. Tom did a great job on it!
Thank you! It's one of my favorite pictures.
Now that Chelsea from the big give has received the dresses I can post them here! She looks SOOO cute in them! I love it!
Daisy: They're going to Tusker so I wanted to make this! I had these great fabrics from when I made my neighbors baby bedding (so cute too - need to post pics) and I digitized a daisy to go along!
Can't find a full front pic.
And the pink Cindy dress - she looks just like a princess in this one!
Thanks for looking! Jessica
HOLEY SMOKE GIRL!!! AMAZING!!!! I am so in love with these!!! The Daisy is just STUNNING!!! STUNNING!!! I love the unexpected mix of fabrics! It really is a work of art!
I love pink Cindy too!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Okay, that is a promise then! Love Lydia in the Alice dress!
YAY!!! I can't wait to see your pictures!!!
and, thank you!
Two days ago I got email from Disney offering a resort upgrade for my trip in 20 days. At first I wasn't interested because I'm planning to stay at Port Orleans Riverside for the first time. I was looking forward to trying POR (it would be my fifth different resort in five years) and I figured there must be a sales pitch for DVC.
I read through some posts on the Resorts thread and a bunch of people have gotten the same offer and there don't appear to be strings -- so I upgraded to Old Key West. I had my choice of OKW or Saratoga Springs, but I live 15 miles from Saratoga Springs NY so that didn't appeal to me.
Now . . .
Gotta figure out something to make for Khelsea's Big Give.
That is very cool!
My beginners sewing class went great. In fact it started at 10 this morning and just finished up a few minutes ago...sort of!
I had two students. One was my oldest daughter...and the other was her best friend and 2 of her 3 kids. (one of which is my youngest daughter's best friend)
We had a blast! The best friend had never seen a sewing machine at work so it was all brand new to her. She brought a packaged apron kit from
WalMart. We got it almost completed before our 3 hours had passed! The younger girls made fleece blankets for Haiti.
My daughter raided some of my fabric stash and decided to make an outfit for a little girl at church who is having her second birthday later this week. She made an A line top with a pair of easy fit pants. She had to make a quick shopping trip to get some buttons, so it ran a little long....
My daughter is a great photographer and loves to blog...so once she blogs about her 'epiphany' I'll post a link to it. It was hilarious!
I can hardly wait for the next class next Monday. Of course, since the kids will all be in school, it should be a bit quieter!

I'm so glad you had such a great time!!!
When we homeschooled...we did a couple of weeks on sewing. We started with how they made clothes in Bible times, how it progressed to today, threw in some math and geometry into the mix, and ended with making a quilt. I had a blast, and my daughter learned a lot...my son was bored after the first few day...but he is learning disabled and there was a lot of reading involved in some of it....
There is a big group of home schoolers at church, and they get together once or twice a week...I might see about teaching a couple classes to them...hadn't thought of that!

You don't still have notes on that lesson plan, do you? That sounds like a fun thing to do!
I finished the little boys Chef Mickey shirts. EE is wearing her minnie dress and Noah is wearing a Goofy shirt but I need to buy a shirt to put the applique on. At least it is prepped and cut and ready to go
Mickey is Ty's his absolute favorite character. Donald is Jacks.
You are just on a roll!!!
cat in the hat finished! ( thanks granna4679 for the file suggestion)
carla c jumper and appliqued ( old navy) jeans
It looks wonderful!
So, I broke down and bought Simply Sweet last night...Holy cow. I am totally overwhelmed. I can follow a 50-step quilt pattern and ace advanced graduate school statistics but for some reason, I am just having major issues with it. I have to sit down with the pattern tonight and really dissect it. Do you actually have to have three layers with this dress? I'm not sure that would fly with my 17-month old DD.
I'm playing catch up, so I'm sure your questions has been answered many times! But, I'll throw my 2cents in anywho!
First, the dress is really easy to make! And, ALWAYS trust Carla!!! Do what she says and it will turn out great!!
Second, I have made this dress more times than I can count and have not once made it with three layers.
Ok, I'll try to catch up some more later!
