[cogero]

I absolutely LOVE this fabric!!


I am so jealous. I really want to get making something......but my daughters bead bracelet fundraiser is taking over our free time.

I had strings of beads all over my living room this weekend. I thought DH was going to strangle me with one of them.


I know it's not sewing...but I'm so proud of my DD14...I just wanted to share what she's done so far

And this was part of my living room this weekend

These are wonderful. Great job on the bracelets.

Have a great day everyone. I have a few gives to work on that are all due this week and are half done So I want to get caught up.

Everything that has been posted lately is fabulous! I am hoping that in the next few days, the other parts of my life will slow down a bit and I can spend a bit more time with you all.

I actually thought you were going to move while I was in Florida, but since you were kind enough to wait for me I'll post photos of the last two Gives I made stuff for. . .

For Khelsey and her sisters

and for Mallory and her brother

Hello Part 24, I see you on the horizon.

I so want to learn how to make that toiletry kit! Any suggestions? What pattern do you use? I have admired these for a while!

Oh the outfit is gorgeous. I love to hand embroider sometimes. but it makes my elbows act up.

 

[The Moonk's Mom]

Sooo many great things lately....I have been so busy! DH had surgery last week and then lots of pre-teen drama to deal with and PTA stuff....I will glad when spring gets here!

I love the beads! That is so great that she is raising her own money for the walk! Proud of both of you! I am sending you a PM.

I need to ask for prayers. My great-Aunt who has been cancer free for almost 20 years, just found out this week she has cancer again, in her lungs and stomach. They also found an Aneurysm just above her heart. So she is having a hard time and you guys are always great with prayers! I am going home to visit with her this weekend.

Keep up the good work guys and I will be checking in again soon!

i havent been around much either, but i will definitely send up a prayer for your great aunt.

Congrats to Mia! You all should be VERY proud of her!!!

Thank you! We are proud of her. She has worked hard at it.

Here she is! I still haven't decided on the spelling of her name. When I went to the vet's to have her checked, I had the receptionist spell it Pippi but when the vet came in he wrote Pipi. I'd rather it be the way most would spell it when they hear the name.

She really wants to get outside. She has made it out about 2 feet before I grabbed her. She is so fast and escapes when I put my hand out the sliding door to throw out a diaper. I have tried using the children as a blocker to stop her from getting out the door, but the children just let her past without trying to touch her. I have now resorted to putting her in the bathroom when I need to open the sliding door. She also loves to hide in the triple stroller when I am getting ready to take the children outside.

What a pretty cat. I would go with "PIPPI" too! I like that spelling!

I absolutely LOVE this fabric!!

I love the bracelets! They are so pretty. What a great picture of the living room. My DH would have stangled me for sure but I love that she was even creative as to how to keep them strung and separated while working on them. Tell her good luck on the fundraiser. What an entepreneur she is!

OMG...I love that dress. I would love to make that in life size too! What a cute idea. I may have to CASE that but in little people size soon.

I'm on my way to church for the "quilts for kids" group so will return to comment on a few more things, but didn't want this request to go unnoticed.

Your great aunt, you, and your family are in my prayers.

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Oh and I have one more sewing project to share - a dress made for a recent Give now that the family has received it:

Ok, now I have done my part in helping the move. The question is, how well will I manage my first move?

The dress is lovely. You are very kind to do the Give and the families really do appreciate the gifts. Thanks for giving to others. Just move with us when we go.

Thanks to everyone on the comments on the fleece blanket my DGD made and the outdoor pictures. Mia (the one that made the blanket) is 6 and she made the swim team today! She is so excited. They had first told her mom and dad that she couldn't try out until she was 7 but after watching her, they decided to let her try out and SHE MADE IT! We are so proud of her.

Trying to help move us along too!

WTG, Mia, swim team is the best. Thanks for helping us move along. I am trying hard to make it happen before we leave. I don't know why?

And this was part of my living room this weekend

They are beautiful braclets and I can't believe your living room. Our pets would have a field day and DH isn't one to see things. You are a great mom and wife to have such wonderful family that gives to others.

I hope your DH is healing well and the drama comes to an end quickly.

Prayers for your Great Aunt that she has peace and gets better. Travel safe on your visit.

i wasn't going to post these pics, but since you need help getting to p 249
i mentioned earlier about my cousins kid (now 4) who had Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer, spent a year and 44 chemo treatments in st judes and is now determined to be cured, and how to give them some happiness we are sending them to disney. they arrive on feb 27. here is a pic of a bag i made them and 2 t shirts i made for Ian.
mom reported back she loves the bag and Ian wants to wear his shirts every day.
another disclosure statement: I've only had a pe770 since dec 25, 2010, so i do not know all the tricks yet. i am still learning how to properly back fabric and hoop it.( so it wont pucker) and thanks to minnie van mom ( i think) i now know how to float a tshirt and that was after I made these and saw what you guys refer to as hoop burn.
did i type enough to move this along?

Everyone has been doing such great things!!!!!
I tried an upcycle .. it is just pathetic lol.
I should have not tried to get all cool with my first one I think.

Wow, TMTQ!! So many cute and awesome things have been posted, and I just haven't kept up.

Love the kitty, the trip pics, the newbies, the blanket, the swim team (yay Mia!), the dolly dress and so much more. So sorry to whomever I left out. I will try to do better at keeping up and commenting, I promise!

You did such a good job! I love the shirts! No one will see the hoop burn but you and I didn't see it at all. I always use more stabilizer than I think I need and when I am using dense stitching I double it. Super job and I am so happy that he is going to get better.

I am going to PM you in a moment with a small idea. We are going to be there at the same time.

 

[miprender]

I think she might be afraid of the stepsisters! When we went last year, our Cinderella wasn't very excited, but she did ask both my girls if they knew how to hold their dresses like her sisters. (this isn't that picture, but I still love this one)

Great Picture. Where was this taken?

Oh and I have one more sewing project to share - a dress made for a recent Give now that the family has received it:

:

So cute.

We used to have a cat that looked similar to her!!! I LOVE the fur...so soft and pretty


She wants to walk the 60mile 3 Day breast cancer walk with me when she turns 16. So we will walk together in 2012...but we each need to raise the $2300 minimum...so I told her to come with a good fundraising idea now...this way she has time to get it going.
She got the idea from a bracelet she bought herself in Epcot this past Christmas.

She's great at marketing. LOL. She sent a 'free' bracelet to my aunt who works retail.... and will brag and show everyone (and hopefully generate sales)

She also gave one of her friends a 'free' one...to wear to school (she goes to a different school...so she's hoping to generate interest in a few places)


I did tell her....any cash donations she has I will make in 'my' name....and my company will double it up to $1000!!! So she's determined to hit her mark before I do.

What an amazing daughter that you have

Love that dress. I too would love that dress as big girl size

That is so awesome! I'm very impressed. I LOVE hearing stories like this. It's so nice to know there are some wonderful teens who are so giving and bravo to you for raising such a sweet, determined young lady.

My dd is so interested in all the children I have been doing things for as a part of the Big Give. She is suddenly very interested in sewing and has helped me (with great guidance) with a couple of things. I am hoping this summer to get her involved in a project making fabric books for visually impaired children (I am an optometrist). Hopefully my dd will have the enthusiasm that your does.

Please keep us posted as to the success of your dd's fundraising.

Adorable as always! I would love to learn to learn to hand embroider. I think yours looks great!

Your Great Aunt will certainly be in my thoughts. 20 years is a very long time to be cancer free. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult it must be for her to have to relive having cnacer again.

Well wishes for your dh on his recovery from surgery (hope it was nothing too serious and that he is doing well).

And I dread the preteen years -- my dd is 7 and I think she may already be a preteen

What a very sweet cousin you are! Sending them to Disney is above and beyond! I love that Ian adores his shirts. I think knowing he wants to wear them everyday tells you that you did a perfect job!

This is not Disney related, or even sewing related...but it is family related, and we ARE trying to move the thread along...right?

Next year my DD10 will start Middle School. This is always a trying time in a young girl's life, even if there was no drama with the school.

The school she will have to go to is the absolute worst school in the county! The police have a regular presence there, because of the rapes, drugs, and gang activity. And yes, this is the middle school.

We had hoped to be moved before we had to deal with this issue, but it is just not in the cards (or finances for that matter) right now. We tried for a shot at a scholarship for a private school, but that fell through.

So, it looks like we will be homeschooling again next year. Of course, this time, hubby is not yet behind us on this idea. DD has looked at the different item available and has chosen her curriculum. I am all set to order it next month...

I guess I am asking for some Pixie dust....hopefully we can get Dad on our side before I order. Dad is still holding out for the private school. While I do believe education is a good investment, I just don't think we can afford the private school this year....
