I just wanted to let everyone here know how thankful I am to all of you. This thread has enriched my life, brought some laughs and given me a lot of inspiration. I really didn't know what I was capable of creating until I stumbled upon you guys a few years ago looking for others who are obsessed with Disney and like to sew. Thank you, thank you, thank you and have a blessed day.

Ditto Ditto Ditto, I have enjoyed this group so much and it has given me so much inspiration! I know for sure my DD wouldn't have 9 custom dresses for this trip that she just loves for our upcoming trip if it wasn't for all of you and your beautiful work! Happy Holidays!

Nina-I hope you feel better so you can enjoy your trip!

Hi Everyone!!

Hope you are all enjoying your special day!!

Question - we have a MAW family going REALLY soon. We cant do a Big Give because its just so close, but Lynn (cajunfan) wants us to try to send them some shirts and pixie dust if we can. They are a family of 4 kids (teen to baby) and 2 adults. They leave on 12/12 - so it'd have to be QUICK!!! Here is just a little info on them!!!
:

This family touched my heart...I wish I could help, but life is going to be so crazy here before we leave in a few days. I will try and help out with some of the Big Gives after the New Year.

I ran by Joann's yesturday and picked up some Ball Needles and got the variety pack, it there a size that is better for the tees than another?

Happy Gobble Gobble Day. Counting all our Blessings!

I had a great quote and my iPad lost it grrr. Anyway, send someone to a 24 hour pharmacy asap and get zicam. It really helps but has to be taken within 12 hours of symptoms. Be extra careful with everyones handwahing/sanitizing. Go to a local urgent care tomorrow if concerned about breathing, etc. They may be able to order something before you leave.

NINI~! You cant be sick!!! Okay but if you are dont panic - lets see - I like to take EmergenC - I put a packet of it in a dixie cup and fill with water - its like a little orange fizzie drink that packs a punch of Vit C!!! If I do it right away 3x the first day it seems to lessen the symptoms and length of the cold. I also use the gross Neti Pot nasal wash - if you arent totally plugged up, it helps to wash that gunk out of your sinusus!!!! Helps from letting it get infected. I would also definately go to the URgent Care center today if you can - they will be able to tell if there is any infection brewing and set you up with everything - antibiotics,cough medicine, and inhaler etc!!! Tell them you are going on a big trip!!!!!!

AND lots of prayers headed your way my friend!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the ideas...but since I take immune suppressive drugs, I can't take any of those things....it works against the meds too much. I have to have a negative pneumonia test before they will give me anything for bronchitis. Strange I know...but one of my regular meds make me very susceptible to pneumonia, and they have to rule it out before they can treat the bronchitis...and since I have no fever, it is a given that it is just bronchitis...at least in my opinion.

This time it is just a bit different with the neck surgery. (basically, the chest issues make me feel like there is something in my chest that won't come out, and the throat issues make me feel like there is something in my throat that I can't get rid of. It makes it very difficult to control the urge to cough. The more I cough, the more I loose my voice.

I'm sure I will be fine...just have a bit of trouble sleeping because I feel like I can't breathe...but I know that Disney is pretty good medicine!

Sorry if I worried anyone with my 'middle of the night' ramblings. I was frustrated that the stuff I took wasn't working, and I was really tired.

Off to work on adding a few buttons and work off some of that wonderful Thanksgiving meal....and then off to another Thanksgiving meal tonight...

Last night we had an amazing evening at Disney on Ice. I made a Toy Story shirt for Andrew to wear. Here is a couple photos from this morning. The one from last night, at the show, is on my camera which is in the van, which is outside in all that snow! I will share it later! I don't know why they are sideways.....they aren't on photobucket?? Sorry.

Hi, I don't know if anyone ever gives used shirts? We will be there Dec. 1-8, my DH and I both are wearing universal M shirts from Micheal's and I would be happy to wash and send some of the shirts to thier resort...if that is even possible? These shirts will only have been worn once while there.

I am doing a Princess Head Minnie in Pink, Christmas Belle and Probably a Tiana one for me, then my DH will have a MVMCP one of some kind...haven't decided yet and a Mickey Pirate...I might do one or two others also, have to see how this weekend goes.

Please let me know what you think.

And of course customs for Tangled:

Incredible. I like the green creature. (I'm behind on kids movies and TV if it's someone I should know, sorry.)

Thanksgiving shirts!

BBB and Cinderella's Royal Table Lunch

Hollywood Studios

Animal Kingdom

Dinner at O'hanna

Epcot

Magic Kingdom

Dinner at 1900 Park Fare (DS5 is so excited about the Ladies on his shirt!!)

It's a joy to see you work. Beautifully done.

How crazy is it that I just finished buying all the fabric for our customs for our Christmas Disney trip- in 2011? That's right girls I have dates chosen with a starter itinerary, including suggested ADR's, and exactly what outfit dd will be wearing every day soi could be sure to buy the right yardage, etc. Fwiw, I scored most of it on a great sale, but I am starting to wonder if I need professional help, or maybe medication of some kind- so... Is it too soon to start sewing them?

Hmmm. . . . I wonder if I'm behind making outfits for my grandchildren. Will I ever catch up if I wait for my sons to find a girlfirends, get married, and then have kids? (Hopefully in the order.) I wish I had young 'uns to sew for. Enjoy!

On another note, I leave for Disney in just 47 hours. So, why am I up at 4am you might ask! I am waiting for the cold/flu/allergy meds to start working... yes I am SICK! (and my computer is attempting to run a diagnostics and is not cooperating with the typing!)

I am NOT cancelling this trip, no matter what! I have this terrible feeling I will be sitting in a hotel room while everyone else is enjoying Disney!!
And, while the rest of the family is enjoying Turkey, I'll probably be at the emergency room waiting on pneumonia test results! Oh what joy the holiday brings!

True for me as well.

My husband and I are both XL. (love to admit that) I LOVE LOVE LOVE mickey. Actually had a room done in disney till we had #3... so it went to the attic. But the nursery for all 4 has been disney babies! Brian likes GOOFY. Or at least Jake and I like to think so![/COLOR][/I]

Here is a link to their PTR - oh my gosh they are so adorable!!! So sweet!!

Her Daddy is active in the Navy, but having some health issues himself. They have had one heck of a year and really need a BREAK!!!! Can we do it????? Pretty please????

Navy? I'll HAVE to do something. I think it was part of the agreement when my son enlisted. Let me recover from today and I'll take a look tomorrow.

soooo....I'm not a very good sewer...and I only have boys....so any ideas on what I can make to make our visit this spring a little more special? I know I"m going to make some pajama pants for them....

I make the bowling shirt for the boys and for DH I use the skilz for the bowling to make his match DS. I then make a dress or skirt and top to match for me. The boys are very good at wearing what I saw to wear and not complaining much.

Last night we had an amazing evening at Disney on Ice. I made a Toy Story shirt for Andrew to wear. Here is a couple photos from this morning. The one from last night, at the show, is on my camera which is in the van, which is outside in all that snow! I will share it later! I don't know why they are sideways.....they aren't on photobucket?? Sorry.

That shirt is just so nice. I am glad to see other boys who will wear a custom.

It just took me almost 3 hours to do two tshirts for my boys. OMG I have never ever used such a crummy design! Granted I have only had my machine a few months (but have over a million stitches already... )... but WOW! It was nothing like all the ones from Heather Sue that I have used. The darn tack down stitches were horrible and my fabric kept tearing away after I would trim it, there were so many thread changes. Just all around bad! Anyhow, just wanted to share my frustration because I knew yall would understand. DH just said that he didn't understand why the kids need Thanksgiving outfits anyway. LoL. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I'm very thankful for this board, I feel right at home with all your Disney and sewing lovers

I just have to ask, what design gave you such a hard time? i am sorry, it is sad when it doesn't go easy and when you want it to go well. Heather does have good designs and feel free to vent anytime.

I am thankful for you and the sweet comments you make that lift others up.

We are planning a Christmas trip in 2011 and I am gathering my custom ideas, too. Mostly though because I am sure it will take me that long to make them, since I'm such a novice! My daughters grow so fast right now (5 and 2) I'm not sure how to plan for the growth!?

I'll get back to everyone else's great stuff soon, I promise, but I wanted to comment on this before I missed it. I'm planning to make all Caitie's stuff big by one size, but put elastic under the arms. I'm either using a vida or a jumper style bodice (mostly Carla C's simply sweet) and thentweaking the skirts. By using elastic, it will allow for a rangle of thicknesses underneath.Then I'm taking short sleeve t's and turtlenecks and long underwear (and leggings). That way I'm prepared for everything. Plus, if the weather is freezing the elastic will stretch to cover a sweatshirt too if really necerssary (wouldn't look ideal, but better than covering a custom

BTW- saw TANGLED today (at the local cinemark in 3D April) It Was Awesome! Amazon has the Mp3 download for the whole album for 3.99 today- I'm listening now

Nini, you have to get better!!! You've worked too hard to get sick now!!! Sleep lots and drink plenty of fluid!!!

They are all great!!! Next year I will get around to the Turkey's they are so cute!

thanks!! We wore them again today to a family gathering.

Whew! Everyone has been busy and you also. I love the film work pattern and all the customs are so cute. I don't know how you get it all done! Super work on all the clothing.

Thanks!! The film took along time!!! It was a ton of stitches but I was thrilled with how it turned out.

Everything is great. The steps will love his shirt.

Thanks!!! I hope so!!!!!

It's a joy to see you work. Beautifully done.

Thanks!!

okay here is my first finished project with my new machine. I decided this morning to finally make the kids shirts to wear for dinner.

They are the same except Miss C has a turkey on hers because it is slightly off center. I reversed the colors too. The turkey was built in to the machine and the Gobble Gobble is HeatherSue's

Both the kids

I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I hope you will feel better by the time you leave. You have worked so hard on the shirts so I hope you get to enjoy the trip as planned.

Wendy - I thought about making something but I am concerned about the ship time. The package will need to cross the border so it will be very tight even if I manage to put something in the mail on Monday.

That's a nice shirt. I saw that BC got quite a bit of snow today! I hope you guys are staying warm!

So is it worth it to go to Jo-Anns on Black friday? I'd really like to get the $1.29 flannel and some Christmas prints cheap, but I was wondering how hard it is to get unless you're one of the first few people through the door. Having a newborn this year, I can't really get there when the doors open. Plus, how does that work? Do you have to stalk people till they go to the cutting table? From anyone's experience, did you find it was easy to get the fabric you came for? Does it get ugly? I'm not so great with crowds and get overwhelmed pretty easily. I'm just wondering if its worth the effort.
