[The Moonk's Mom]

Has anyone ever had the dreaded sewers block before? I just cant get started on a project for anything!!!!



Im wasting too much time on the Hallmark Christmas Shows!!

Are you kidding...that is where I reside these days! I am still in a funk over my halloween disaster and then the give shirts that are forever lost somewhere in post office land...no, they still have not been able to find them! What a nightmare! And then...I break my embroidery hoop! Wait...that make three really bad, so I should be good now!

I do need to get busy a finish up my stuff for my BFF's DD. But, I just can't get in the mood. I did clean my sewing area today, so that should count for something?!?!?

Yep! Going on almost 3 months now. I have sewn 1 dress, and 1 Mulan- because I had too. Have not done anything else. Just not inspired anymore.


I hope your block goes away faster than mine. Maybe Zoey needs mouse ears

I love your new ticker. Where are you staying? What is the occasion?

Thanks! We are staying at the Poly!!! I've never stayed there before and have wanted to since my first trip to the World in 1975! I remember riding the monorail around the resort loop and begging my folks to let us stay there. The closest occasion I can celebrate is I turn 40 in March. We will definitely be celebrating that while we are there! The fun part is we are just taking the two older kids and my folks will keep the younger ones. Should be a fun trip for them without a baby and Princess and fanatic tagging a long. DD4 (the Princess fanatic) will be going with my folks for her own trip in early February to celebrate her 5th birthday.

Ooh, that is the worst. I would recommend signing up for a Big Give b/c that always helps me. Nothing like a deadline! But, clearly, you have the Give thing covered! Maybe try making something quick and gratifying... a few weeks ago when I was in a funk I used a couple of fat quarters that went with nothing else in my stash to make myself a little iPhone/wallet thing. I love it and it makes me so happy and did get me sewing.

I made a Mickey Head wreath to hang outside today. But I don't think that "counts" since it was pine needles and wires and not sewing. But that is about as creative as it gets right now LOL. M has not even gotten anything new(I almost BOUGHT a Christmas dress today)

Hey sewer block people, get sewing! Make me something! That will unblock you! I sometimes get tired of it, but I just continue to walk in my room and sew, sew, sew.

For regular sewing I use coats n clark thread. My machine is fine with it. If I don't take off both sticky ends then it seems to get stuck when trying to turn. I can't just poke a hole in the end. Hope that makes sense, but end result is thread breaks, etc.

Hey I thought of you the other day, I finally ordered M one of those Mickey things. The ones the come in the box and you can't tell which one it is until you open it? It is going in the stocking.

And I can't walk in my sewing room to "unblock", I lost my sewing room in the move. I have two machines under the desk, embroidery machine is still packed in the closet, the evil serger is sitting on the file cabinet. I have 4 bins of fabric in my room and two more in the hall. Still can't find my scissors/pinking shears (I think the Serger ate them). Can you tell I just want to whine? LOL

Just wanted to post these pics before I go to bed - I've got training in the morning, yikes!

Anyway, here's everything for Allison's Big Give:

For the baby I ended up finding a fleece zip up hoodie that I put Mickey on. Here's a better pic of it.

If someone would PM me the address I'll get them mailed out tomorrow.


And since I have them in photobucket, here's the outfits that I made for Thanksgiving. We usually don't go anywhere since we don't live close to family, but this year we went to DH's aunt's house so I figured the kids needed some cute clothes.

Alison picked out this very loud turkey fabric that she just adored. I wasn't so inspired with it, but I think the end product turned out cute.

Better shot of the embroidery:

Those shirts for the Give are amazing! The kids' Thanksgiving clothes are very nice too. You did a good job with that turkey print.

I have a TICKER!!!!!! Yahooooey!!!!!

Congrats!

I hope those of you with sewer block will find a way to get out of it soon. I don't have any suggestions - but I really think everyone here do a fantastic job with their sewing. Hopefully you will see something here to inspire you to get back to the sewing room or sewing area before long!

I have a type of block -it is called "I HAVE to finish this order before I can work on what I WANT to do" I am almost done the outfit too which makes it all the more frustrating.

 

[Mommy2JulietJocelyn]

I just realized I can book our next November trip - yea!

Need a little inspiration for the final sewing push...

Anyone have some Christmas customs to post? I know I've seen some great things in the past. I have no clue what to make for MVMCP.
I just finished 10 princesses for Hannah's princess dress. Almost ready to move onto something else.

 

[cogero]

spent the early part of today at my Moms actually still here since I am waiting for the dryer to stop.

Then I am heading home to craft scrapbooking and Christmas gifts today.

Question about embroidering on those canvas aprons. Do I have to wash them or will I be good to go?

Thought I would make one for my Mom and sister to do their Christmas baking in.

Also going to play with the tension a bit more on the sewing machine because I had it working well to practice when I took it out of the box.

If the machine has worked well, don't touch the tension. It is only when it goes badly that you start to mess with it. Just clean the case and other areas often.

Have fun with your busy day. I don't know a thing about canvas, sorry, but I would say not.

Very pretty as usual Linette.

I hope everyone manages to get out of their sewing funk. You should maybe buy a new magazine, or book with new patterns and ideas. That always helps me.

Well here's some motivation for ya, if you don't get sewing you will be where I am with 3 days left and STILL sewing I wish I had pictures b/c they are going to be adorable (they are mostly sewn up, waiting on bodices that JHAM was kind enough to embroider for me) but I am making the girls patchwork skirts on simply sweet bodices (totally a case from JHAM's Halloween one!) I used christmas prints and polka dots (of course) and they are ADORABLE! the bodices have a Frou Frou by Heather Sue christmas mickey on the front her JOY that has a minnie head for the O on the back. VERY CUTE!!!

No I have LOTS of pieces sewn together, time to get them all turned into something LOL. I think there will be ruffling today.

 

[MomtoAlexnWilliam]

Lovestosew!!! Those dresses are beautiful!!!

 

[thebeesknees]

Aaaahhhh! We leave in an hour and a half to go pick up the kids from school and head out to WDW!!!! They have NO idea we are doing this - I've been sewing and packing in secret for so long and now it's finally here! I can't wait to see their faces when they realize where we are going! I'll try to post pictures when we get back.
