The next day was Epcot. Here they are with Nemo and friends! I wish I had shortened the straps on Alexa's jumper, they kept slipping down.

I was trying to get a good shot of them in the shark's mouth-this was the best one!

We had dinner at Akershus that night. More princess pics! Belle loved Connor's shirt.

I'm getting out of order here but Halloween was DHS. Here are my hubby and kids while waiting in line for Toy Story Mania. We had a long wait so lots of time to take sillys pics.

:confused: Does anyone know how long it take a first class mail item to travel from Houston to Canada? I participated in Joey's Big Give and I mailed my item 10/27 and it appears they have not received it yet :( I am starting to get worried! I sent a shirt and shorts, but the box was light enough for first class mail... I don't know why it isn't there yet!

I am not sure, but I also mailed a package to Joey's sister, from Houston on Oct 30 first class and it has not arrived yet, either! I am on the NW side of Houston, Jersey Village area, where are you?

I mailed mine also first class from NJ on Nov 1 and it got there already. It was included in the last batch of photos from them.
Maybe give it a couple more days...
 

You might have to be a little more careful with placement with a stroller since you still need to be able to fold it.
DD's wheelchair doesn't fold and anyway, she is in it all the time since she can't sit well out of it.

Oh good point. Even if I was just to drape the lights, it would be nice to have at night. DH and I tend to get separated in crowds. I am usually pushing the stroller and am pretty aggressive with the "excuse me, coming through." And he is much less aggressive as he is holding a kid or twos hand.


This has taken me forever to get done-partly because I was really sick for almost two weeks. I have to say this is not my favorite pattern....love the end result, but thought the pattern was kind of a pain to do....might be more me than that pattern, since I put both layers into one:confused3 I didn't do the ties, I just put elastic in casings around the back and under the arms and the ruffles are 4 1/2 inches...just in case anyone is wondering. The ruffles are a bit of a headache! But, We all love the way it turned out-which is what counts right? She was dancing around with it on, that is why it looks alittle crocked, but in really isn't:).

Beautiful! And she looks so happy in it!!! My DD4 doesnt love her fall/pumpkin feliz I made her b/c she thinks its heavy. I was planning on making her a Christmas one and an Animal Kingdom one but now I am not so sure. By far, she loves her Vida dresses the best. But the Feliz is so fun to make. :confused3

Does yours do the threading where you don't have to go anywhere near the needle with your hands? like... you pass it through the top and it cuts the thread and the robotic arm threads it through the needle? I'm wondering if they brothers do it too or if it is a Babylock thing.. like the threading on their sergers. I am seriously amazed by it. :rotfl:
I will cry if mine ever breaks. So far it works perfectly. It is different than the auto threader on my old brother... but it is old. I should totally video it. :rotfl:
I definitely need a picture of that! Maybe even video!!

Wow, your kids look great and their outfits are amazing!! Looks like you guys had a nice time. How were the crowds?


Has anyone downloaded Undercover Tourist App for the iPhone? Oh my gosh, it is sooooo coool!!!!!! They offer a free version w/ads but I dont even notice the ads. It tells you line waits in real time, restaurant menus, crowd levels at parks, parade times for each day, etc. Like right now I can see that Animal Kingdom is open for EMH and Expedition Everest only has a 5 minute wait. Awesome! If you have an iphone, you have to have this thing! Plus its free!!!!
 
Sue- love the lights idea!!! How cool!!

Awww = thats a bummer! At the very least it will be a super surprise when they get home!!:wizard:

I have shipped lots of stuff into Canada. I have shipped all over the world, and Canada drives me nuts more than any other place. Canadian customs is VERY unpredictable. I wouldn't worry about any of it being lost, but getting there on time is another matter.

Drives me nuts too, as I live here and order stuff from the US all the time. I usually plan on 3 weeks to be on the safe side, so it should be there any time now.
 
Here's a picture of DD visiting Rosetta

What a great picture. I love the ideas of the lights and the "apron" style dress. It is very pretty.

Jessica - we are on 1605...ooh the monorail just went by!!!!!!!!!!:goodvibes
You are making us all very jealous. :cool1:

Why is it we worker harder on the weekends than during the week? Today we moved our furniture from the living room to the different areas and my sewing area is now in a better and different area.
You guys must be sore today. You will feel better now that everything has a better layout.

Gosh, I can't keep up! It's been a few days and it's already 25 pages in!

We leave on Saturday for DW and I'm in the home stretch... or maybe crunch to finish a few things for DD.

Today I finished this for our Studio day, found the LE fabric on clearance for $3.99. Ignore the goofy look, she's always showing off a funny face.

Here's a twirl skirt for AK, still have to finish applique T-shirt to go with it. I think it goes great with her jammies, LOL.

The funny face makes me smile :goodvibes The twirl skirt came out really nice and the LE set is sweet. You guys must be getting SO excited. Be sure to post some pictures when you return.

Wow, this came out really nice. I have never made a feliz, mostly because it looks a little overwhelming. All your hard work has made for one happy little girl.

I thought I'd finally post some pictures from our trip. The first night we went to DTD and had dinner at T-Rex because we were going to be doing an awful lot of princess stuff while at the parks. Connor loved it but honestly it probably wasn't the best place to eat when you are tired and jet-lagged! It is very loud!

The next day we went to Sea World. The kids got lots of attention because apparently there are very few custom outfits ever seen at SW.

Shamu's fan club!

th_SAM_0380.jpg

Our first day at WDW was at the MK. Alexa was going to get a princess makeover at BBB so I scheduled Connor to get a knight makeover. He got a lot of attention with all of the confetti in his hair. One of the CMs said he looked like Tinkerbelle whacked him in the head with her wand!

th_SAM_0554.jpg
The sea world set is very cute. Those pumpkin fish look fun. I have to say that Connor is a VERY good sport with all that princess time. My son endures the princesses but they usually make him very shy so he's never in any pictures with them.

The next day was Epcot. Here they are with Nemo and friends! I wish I had shortened the straps on Alexa's jumper, they kept slipping down.

The nemo sets are really nice and I love Connor's shirt for Akershus, that was a great idea. Glad you were able to keep the kids entertained during the long wait for Toy Story Mania. Good thing for digital pictures (no film to pay for). It looks like you guys had a great trip. Thanks for sharing.

I might have to get some lights and put them on my husband. He is always getting "lost" at DW (and Home Depot too).

The iPhone App sounds really neat. I don't have a smartphone but my hubby does. Last time we went to the World he was in the process of getting a new phone and didn't have internet access. We missed it a little but it was nice to not have him googling something every 5 seconds while we were in the parks.
 
I am not sure, but I also mailed a package to Joey's sister, from Houston on Oct 30 first class and it has not arrived yet, either! I am on the NW side of Houston, Jersey Village area, where are you?

We live not that far from Joey's family. My husband works for a company here that ships things up from the states all the time. For some strange reason, customs is backed up from 10-14 days at the borders right now. So I wouldn't worry about it being missing yet, but it may be still caught up at the border.
 
I don't think I will ever catch up but I thought I would post a couple pics from our trip last week. This is my mom & Juliet when we went to WWoHP

I have it on the itouch I have - I just don't have a data plan but am hoing to get a iphone for Christmas. I like the app. It is very cool!

We had warm, rainy & cold weather while we were there - low of about 50 the one morning and night we were bundled up. This was our first Nov. trip so now I know much better to pack for EVERYTHING!!!!

I absolutely Love the solemnly declare T-shirt, did you digitize that yourself? :love:

Some gorgeous outfits posted recently, took me forever to catch up as I've been awol for a while due to being swamped with work :(
I've almost finished DD's customs for our trip, so I promise to get some pics uploaded soon :thumbsup2
 
Here is the generational photo with my mom. I made my blouse and Kaitlyn's dress and my mom made her blouse.

I just have to vent that I am about to toss my serger out the window! I just spent almost two hours getting it set up to do a ton of rolled hems for Feliz ruffles and I decide I didn't like the red wooly thread and switched to green. Apparently the machine rejected the green and broke the needle, got all tangled and ate the test fabric. Which by the way, is now all jammed up in the machine. Heading to the gym to try to calm myself down! :headache:
