Ok, I hope I am doing this right!
As far as crafting, I enjoy cross stitch the most, but I also sew. I have an old embroidery maching that I use mostly now for hand applique. Currently it is being serviced because the bobbin wasn't working properly.
Here are the pics of what I have already created. I have more for my daughter than infant son, so any suggestions for boys is appreciated!

Please please share with me how you did those awesome shoes!!??
The shoes were pretty easy. I found the yellow Converse online for $12 and traced and colored in the Mickey Head with fabric paint pens. The laces were probably the most difficult and to be honest, my husband did them! I got the ribbon online and he sealed the aglets on the edges with heat shrink tubing for wires (you can get it at Radio Shack).
Hope that helps!
Aside from fixing the binding in a few spots on the back my quilt is done, so I thought I would go ahead and post a picture:
Other than sewing on the binding it wasn't too bad to do, but I won't be starting another one right away either
I think I am finally caught up! Everyone sure has been busy, there are a lot of beautiful things posted. I think I have only posted here once since we got back from our trip in November. Things have been hectic here. December started out very rough. We had to put our pug to sleep in early Dec. She was 13 and everything started failing at once for her. I really miss her and find myself still looking for her. Yesterday I was on my way out and had a brief thought that I should let the dog out before I goIt will take a while but we're getting there.
DS,DDIL and the babies were home for Christmas. I did sew a little, I made an audrey skirt for Christmas and I managed to make my first Feliz! Thanks to Teresa I had a petti for Emily to wear under it. She loves that petti! She was only here for a week but she would say to me Ganma, I nee a pin (I need to spin) so she would put it on and twirl her little heart out! Sadly, they were only here for the week. I don't know why the
Air Force needed to send them 1600 miles away when I am 20 min from McGuire AFB and about an hour from a few others.
Anyway, here are a few pictures. I am sorry they aren't better but I was so busy playing with the babies that I didn't think about taking pictures that were post worthy

Just because I love the way he looks at her!

The next day I told DD that I don't see her putting any effort into the trip at all. I didn't want to drag her to the beaches of Mexico for a week if she really has no interest.
So within hours she has both sites reviewed, the airlines flights with times she likes, and a general idea of what she wants to do.
Yesterday, right before making the hotel reservation, I called the ex to make sure of the return. He asked reviewed our plans and refused her to allow to go because my last connection leave before her flight. Period, end of story, no other options. He said no, she may not go to Mexico.
I have put so much work, time and effort into this and finally get DD to have an interest, only to be told that she can't go.
I really don't like my EX.
Good news, DD is coming out here for spring break. DS is still going to be in school so we can't do a lot of things but time together is better than no time at all. The ex also made this trip with a early return and more $ for me. He just can't leave it alone.
WOW, I just stumbled upon this thread, and I am in awe of eveyone's work. My family and I are going to WDW in March for Mardi Gras, and I have spent the last few weeks/months creating outfits for my son and daughter as well as sweatshirts for the whole family (Mickey with a jester hat). As soon as my husband finishes taking down the Christmas lights, I am going to have him load the pictures I have taken and hopefully figure out how to load them on here.
So excited to have found a group of people that have the same interests (I swear my husband thinks I am the only one!)

Thanks for that Idea! I might have to make some shoe laces.
I'm going to have to hurry up and make Kirsta something else, everyone is going to be sick of my Snow White outfit. This is my 9 - almost 10yo.
. As for dressing her, T-shirts are always a safe bet. There's been some recent posts with pics from a mom of a tween who made princess-y blouses for her DD, they were really cute.
Thanks so much! I was waiting to hear from someone before I get started. I have NEVER quilted before and have no idea how to finish it once the squares are sewn together. The twin needles idea sounds interesting though. Would you be willing to show me a close up picture of the quilting part that you did?
Wendy, I have snow! I have a lot of snow but still it isn't enough. I love the big fluffy flakes that make for beautiful powder days when I snowboard. I plowed the drive down to shine yesterday. It really was rewarding. Our back yard is not plowed and the snow is up to my mid thigh! It is deep out back.
Here are some pictures from a different quilt as the stitch lines show up better on that one (Please ignore the lint fuzz. I didn't see them until I started to post the picture. I am going to blame those on the towels in the cloest!)
Front:
On the back it will look like zig zag lines:
We have snow. It had all melted after Christmas (we had a SIXTY degree day!!! Oh, that was fun!) Then it got miserable cold again and it's been snowing for a few days. It's not very deep yet, but the roads are slick.
It's hard to say at that age! My 8 year old daughter (still not use to calling my baby an EIGHT year old!! lOl, her birthday was last month) still loves the girly girley things and princesses and ruffles and all that. My niece, Tessa who will be 8 in March doesn't like dresses anymore, and I'm not sure what she would wear at Disney at this point. My oldest daughter is 12 1/2 and she still wears princessy dresses and outfits at Disney. I will have to post some pictures of what I've made.
Oh, I've also taken a t-shirt and princified it for some of the Big Gives and for myself! You can take a blue t-shirt and put red ribbons on the sleeves for Snow White, a yellow t-shirt with a sashy thing for Belle, and use the same concept with Aurora. If I can find my pictures, it will probably make more sense!!!
And, like others have said, this is the perfect place for asking a question like this! We love to give out ideas!

Can't wait to see those pics! Thank you!

My 12yo would TOTALLY wear a princess outfit to disney, but she is the baby and loves being the baby. The other two would not have done it at 9.
