Beautiful! The nutcracker applique is perfect, and I love how the heart fabric adds to the Toy Story dress.
In other news, I just noticed on the calendar that it was five years ago today that my baby enlisted in the US Navy. One year to go!![]()

And, I returned to my first love for Thanksgiving. Felt and glue. As a kid I could be happy for hours with felt and glue. I read on the first page that we're supposed to show photos of EVERYTHING, so here are my Thanksgiving place cards (made with Ferrerro Rocher chocolates). I'd say they look better in person than photographed, but that's not true. They look like they were made by a pre-schooler, but I don't care, I had fun

I finished my granddaughter's Christmas dresses this weekend. We are going to see the Nutcracker Ballet in Houston Dec 17 so I made their Christmas dresses to fit that theme (of course they will also wear them to our big family get together and for Christmas Sunday @ church). I am quite happy with how they turned out. I had purchased the fabric online several months ago with no particular pattern in mind. When I finally decided what to make, I didn't have enough of either one to make both so I made them opposite so they would be alike and yet different.

the back (it looks a little droopy but the bow is just weighting it down because it is not on an actual person!)

Did I make the first page??
*hangs head in shame*
I think this is my most pathetic showing on one of these threads yet. I'm only about 43 pages late.![]()

has anyone embroidered a canvas tote bag??? if you have, do you rip out the seams on both sides before hooping it? I tried to do one with out ripping the seams, but it did NOT work, so that one went in the trash can. thanks for any advice you might have.![]()
If its big enough, can you kind of turn it inside out and keep the back side out of the way???? I've done that before on a wider tote bag...
I thought initially it would be big enough, but when i tried it didnt work and I caught part of it in the stitching and ended up cutting it out which left a hole in the bag which left me frustrated...guess I can chalk it up to learning experiences.

Yeah, I did a bunch for my mom one year for her to give her employees for Christmas gifts. I had to rip the sides out too...some of them I only did one side though and that was enough to keep the back of the bag outta my way.![]()

We love you Heather! I was like page 27. I have pics up on my FB page from the breast cancer walk. Thought you might like to see them.
Luckily the principal is on vacation this week because of the impending holiday so no TARDY slips will be handed out!![]()
Yee-haw!!!MARCH 5&6 2011!!
Yes, that is a date that could be our next Disneyland trip!!! We will know on Dec 11 if we are going. Georgia's cheer team is going to regionals and if they get a bid, they go to Nationals which is at Disneyland!
Now, I am going to talk to my family and make this a birthday trip for her a month late. The girls are working so hard, and doing great jobs. Keep your fingers crossed!

Those dresses are amazing! I love that they coordinate but are not the same.I finished my granddaughter's Christmas dresses this weekend. We are going to see the Nutcracker Ballet in Houston Dec 17 so I made their Christmas dresses to fit that theme (of course they will also wear them to our big family get together and for Christmas Sunday @ church).
