Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[ellenbenny]

If you come to Atlanta I would LOVE to meet you somewhere. We live NE of Atlanta about 45 minutes so some places are much easier to get to then others but I am happy to travel!

I will definitely let you know if we are coming. Actually this is the first year in many years that we haven't come down in the fall, so hopefully we can schedule something soon. My brother lives in Roswell and my son lives in midtown. I lived in the Atlanta area for a few years, but that was over 20 years ago now.

 

[cogero]

Nini - you lived in GERMANY!!! WOW!!!!

Oh no!!! Well, at least when we get back it will be a short work week because of Thanksgiving!!! I gotta get ready for my Black Friday Shopping!!

Anyone else shop on BF? What are you going for this year?

I think we are going to go and start the process for our passports that day.

Jessica - we are on 1605...ooh the monorail just went by!!!!!!!!!!

 

[itsheresomewhere]

Hmm - where do you want her to start measuring from? I'd be happy to ask. I think she would get a kick out of lights - especially since they will be there on new years eve!!!! lol!!! This is so fun -thanks!!!

Its 5:30am here and I am WIDE AWAKE!!!!! Waiting for Billy to WAKE UP!!!!! I wonder how long this east coast timing will still work for me? I love getting up early!!! lol

Massive miagraine so if this doesn't sound right but I just need to know how long I can make things so nothing gets caught in the wheels. I also think I might be able to do a costume blanket. I thought she might like lights as we all need sparkle.

Girlie - you take care of yourself!!!!

I pm'd mom and will post as soon as I hear from her!!

That would be so sweet of you to do the blanket too!! And then when you do, do you think you could do a tutorial so we all know how to make them? I think they would be so helpful with these wintertime Big Gives - it can be so chilly at night, and when they get home they would be so awesome for them to have!!!

Oh my! I KNOW you have a great view then! I am sitting here thinking how sad it is that I now know where most rooms are in that hotel! LOL!

I knew you were going to say Roswell! It isn't far at all, maybe 45 miles but it takes FOREVER to get to because of the traffic and no main highway to cut across, but no issues! I would still love to meet you! Why did I not know you had family here and that you come each fall usually?

Ok now you are just being mean! You KNOW you were supposed to come here

And I never have anyone to go to BF shopping with. (Of course I have considered hiring a body guard LOL)

We actually normally stay in midtown. My brother does not invite us to stay at his house. Not because we are not close, but because I think they are embarrassed that they don't keep their house very clean. Anyway we stay near my son and then usually meet my brother and family for dinners somewhere. My DH just cannot believe that they never invite us to their house, but I have gotten over it over the years.

We can drive somewhere convenient for you though. I will have to let you know when we plan a trip for sure. Maybe I haven't talked about it much. Last year we visited in late August, and then we were in Athens the weekend before Xmas for my nephew's wedding. That is the last time we were there.

Sometimes we have to venture to other places you know!

Funny enough, I was totally going to invite you stay here and you are always welcome. My husband always tells me he would never stay at someone's house he doesn't know. And it irks me to no end, most of the time, he KNOWS the people! He might not be best friends with them, but I might be! We never have any company and I always love it when we do. And I like to say, my house is LIVED in and it shows it!!

You know, I think a few of my relatives have mentioned something like that as well. But I think they just want to see M

(And for the record I did go to TX last year-not sure about this year not lovin the whole groping pat downs now)

 

[aboveH20]

Oso I did by hand. I am sure it won't be long before you see a digital design though.

Holy (digitized) cow. You did Oso by hand? I've been practicing my hand applique, but I have a l-o-o-o-n-g way to go before I could take a closeup photo.

I'm trying to figure out if the problem is the machine or the operator . I'm pretty sure it's the latter, but I am curious if you don't mind sharing which machine you have.

We'll be coming to stay with you soon! Another baby panda at Atlanta Zoo?!?! It's too much for Aisling. She must go see it!

Randy got picked for the "extra security" for our trip to Ireland. He had to go through the scanner that shows "everything"

Jessica - we are on 1605...ooh the monorail just went by!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun! I am closing my eyes now and imaging being in WDW, hearing the monorail wiz by. Do you think if I click my heals 3 times I will magically appear next to you? Click, click, click. Nope, still sitting here at my computer, looking at the dishwasher that needs to be unloaded, toys scattered about, and 12 loads of laundry that need to be folded. Better go!

We put solar lights on DD's wheelchair when we go to WDW. It adds a 'touch of whimsy', but is also a conversation piece and useful for helping people see the wheelchair in the dark.
So, I think lights are a great idea.

Sue, where do you put the lights? Do you have a photo? I am looking for some unique ideas for Andrew's chair on our upcoming trip.

 

[jeniamt]

Anyone know about oven setting bows? I thought I read that on here once before. I made DD4 a bunch of bows a few months ago and they all looking a little sad and droopy now. The grosgrain hasn't really kept its shape and is all floppy now. Thanks!

Well you did an awesome job.

Sounds wonderful. Can't wait to hear all about your trip when you get home.

LOL! Practice makes perfect! I have a brother cs-6000 or whatever it is called, mine was from Costco, alot have them from Walmart. BUT I also have a Brother ULT 2002-D. I'll be perfectly honest, there is a $3850 price difference but they both sew great! The only difference is on the more expensive one it ties a little knot for me so I don't have sew back and forth when I start and stop. It is something I miss when I use the smaller one. I use them both though. The 2nd is a combo embroidery/sewing machine. I mainly use it to sew now a days.

I really wish you would come! We always have an extra room, actually the whole basement can be your suite (don't worry there is a window in the basement bedroom). And then I have my sewing room upstairs now, but a bed in there and Dallas has bunk beds. BTW, my first sleepover was with the neighbor boy!

I am doing a pretty good job imagining I am with Wendy.

Like I said to Kristine, I really wish you guys would come! I thought of both of you when the panda was born.

Well you did an awesome job.

Thanks!

I mentioned to DH that I might like a Brother Embroidery machine and he surprised me by researching and ordering me one. I am not sure of the model he won't show me which one the stinker.

Just wondering what is a good resource for thread and stabilizer.

Thanks.

I think we all pretty much agree on this! If you don't want to spend so much right away I would call and talk with someone. My first time I talked with the nicest lady and just told her the colors I wanted, crayola orange, piglet pink, etc and she picked the colors. She did a GREAT job! This was 10 years ago or so but I still order from them and they are great! I went with the top 100 colors the next time. Now I just order the colors I want. Having them all to begin with and see what was best and their order #'s worked out well for me.
