LOL

Thanks for all the comments on the Rosetta I made... DH asked last night if I had listed it yet?? I love it so much that I really want to keep it for myself. LOL I think I will make all 3, then decide which I like the best and keep that set... sell the rest.

D~

I absolutely love that set. It's so cute! You'll make a bundle on those for sure! I'd keep one for myself too!

Asking for some healing prayers to travel to Ohio. . . . . . So, needless to say, we need some of those good prayers you girls know how to say.

It would be a privilege to include both of them in my prayers. It's so hard to be away from family with crisis strikes.

 

[RMAMom]

KIM I will be praying for all of you. Please keep us posted on their progress.

OK, my last post, DH and I are on or way tomorrow. Just the two of us this trip, it's only 4 days but I am looking forward to having him to myself for a few days. I have never been during the flower and garden festival and am looking forward to that too.

Asking for some healing prayers to travel to Ohio. As some of you know my FIL used to live with me but then met and remarried what turned out to be a wonderful woman 2 years ago. Last week he went into the hospital and had to be intubated for most of last week because of his COPD. He was able to have the tube removed Friday and then had to be on a BiPAP until yesterday. Things were looking up and he has actually had an increased score on the UNOS list so that maybe he could get his lung transplant sooner. And then yesterday they found out he has MRSA so he continues to stay in ICU. I do not know right now how this affects his transplant status. Usually any infection will put you on a hold, but MRSA is something you always have, it just can come and go. Well, I guess his wife wore herself out and ended up in the hospital herself with what they fear now is a heart attack. So, no we are all the way in NC and they are both in the hospital up in Ohio...very scary time for them and us too. She has her son there, but he really doesn't have anyone from his family. So, needless to say, we need some of those good prayers you girls know how to say.

Oh My!!! Praying for you ALL!!!!!

Okay....I am sooo far behind....I will never catch up...just so you guys know I lurk all the time on my Droid while waiting on the kids to get out of school. And I love it all!

I prefer my Brother for shirring over my Viking. I just hand wind it, set my stitch length just a bit higher than normal (maybe 3.5-4) and dont touch the tension. I do make sure to bring the bobbin thread (elastic) through to the outside and leave a tail, if I dont, it won't work right. I use the side of the presser foot as my guide for each row, and keep it stretched as I stitch. It wont look like much until youve got 4-5 rows done, but even if it's not a shirted as you like, a blast of steam will make it cinch up nicely. Practice a bit on something that doesn't matter, you'll see just how easy it really is...most of us were afraid of it before we really tried. Now its one of my favorite sewing techniques. I'd never done it before joining in with this group.

Nanci - thanks for this. I read some crafty/sewing blogs and there were some posts last year about using elastic thread. Those with Brothers were complaining and said that the fix was to buy a new bobbin casing and make it tighter than it is supposed to be, yada, yada, yada. Yeah, maybe I'll get to that in 2016.

I've been really sick with a horrible cold and cough and I've had to work - I don't have many sick days left and it is still March. Thank you all for your suggestions on the skirts and shirts. I am a perfectionist with a touch of OCD so I'm going to have to seam rip the skirts and pull in the elastic.

My mom tried the hand applique on her Janome and what a huge difference it was!! Like 10,000 times better than what my machine is doing. I'll be sure to post final pictures once I get the outfits on the girls.

The weather was awful here today!!! I'm sure they got soaked, it was raining so hard when I was getting Rebecca from gymnastics the storm drain in the parking lot looked like a whirlpool, the water was so deep around it you couldn't see the drain. By the time I got home 20 minutes later the sun was shining. We had several screens blown out on the pool enclosure, and a lounge chair blew into the pool. The neighbors lost a tree, but it fell between the houses, and only damaged some fencing, just missing the pool enclosure next door. I posted the pics on Facebook, we got lucky it could have been much worse. I was happy the power came back on just in time to cook dinner.

I don't think you can use the Disney gift card at places that are not owned by Disney, so Lego, T Rex, Rainforest Cafe and places like that wouldn't work. You could certainly look at Costco, but it would depend on whether they had worked out the same deal with Disney that Sam's did.

Lori in East Podunk

Just a quick note to tell you that the Bonus $10 gift card is only good at the Disney store, NOT at Disney. Also it can not be used to purchase tickets or gift cards at the Disney store. It is still a good deal, I bought enough gift cards at Sams to pay for our expenses and meals on our last trip, and then used the extra $10 gift cards to buy myself a little something online at the disneystore. Just wanted to make sure everyone knows though that the extra $10 is different than the original gift card in where you can use it.

Thanks for the info on the gift cards. I don't think I will bother with them since they are not valid at the Lego store (where the bulk of souvenir money is spent - unless they decide to put in a Disney fabric store at DTD!)

That dress is amazing. The PJ set is nice too.

Hey Y'all....

Just wanted to share a coupon I just saw. It's for 25% entire order (sale and non-sale) at Michael's.

Thanks. Maybe I will find something on Saturday.

Ok I have to admit that I am still to scared to even try a feliz or vida, but I love the backs of those dresses. So now for my question, have any of you ladies ( or guys) ever put ruffles on the back of a simply sweet. I've kinda got this picture in my head but I just wanted to find out if anyone else had done that? Thanks.

I do that all the time. It turns out really cute.

Since Lisa and Megan have probably gotten their Pixie Dust package by now I thought I'd post what I sent them. I sent luggage tags to them before leaving which I don't have photos of but you all have seen my luggage tags posted in the past. For PD I sent bracelets in Mickey colors and I made an American Girl doll outfit for Megan for her birthday present. My dd also has the same doll outfit sans the bow b/c she wanted hers to be Mickey and not Minnie

And January and Kaitlyn received their BG outfits and bracelets yesterday. They are having a character meal at Hollywood and Vine and January loves Little Einsteins so they got the last of my fabric. The outfits are Portrait Peasant shirts and Easy Fit shorts with matching bracelets.

I should have two more BG's to post shortly -- I know one already got their package but I'm not sure if it was opened yet.

Quick question....when you send an invoice through PayPal...how long do you wait before you send a reminder?

I sold two of my daughter's dresses from last year on a resell site on FB. The site rules call for payment within 24 hours...I sent the invoice within the hour... but nothing from buyer yet. Not worried (yet) just want to get them mailed out and crossed off my list...

(that ...and the last time I bought something through FB I never got my merchandise...my infamous pettiskirt fiasco from last year!)

Yes, I am a worry wart! LOL

Wow! I am so glad you all made it safely! I hope you have a wonderful time!

I am so glad that no one was hurt, hopefully everything that was damaged can be replaced.

I don't know how you all do it??? I barely have enough time to do my normal stuff and maybe sit at my machine for an hour... Maybe I need to be more dedicated??? I don't know... I really want to do a BG in the worst way, but I just don't have any time left in my day. Maybe its because I work full-time too? How does everyone juggle it all?

I would send a reminder at 24 hours, and let the person know you are going to relist it if you don't hear back from them by the end of the day? I think that sounds more than reasonable.

[cogero]

Nini I was going to post the same as Dee did. Good Luck.

D- I only work 4 hours a day and it is for my parents.

I try to do any cleaning I am going to do when DH is sleeping he gets up at 5 and by that point the girl is gone. Bedtime for the boy is 7:30-8 and then I hit the basement to either sew or craft.

I generally do that until 9:30 during the week and later on the weekends.

Oh wow! An actual routine! I would love a routine that did not involve waiting on other people's schedule!

...maybe that is my problem! I can only get down to sew when hubby is home!

PS...thanks for the suggestions...I have sent a reminder...but I still feel like I am being inpatient!

A quick update as I am using an IPad.

I went on my tour Monday and got to speak to one of the seamstress at costuming. She was just finishing Belles.formal gown. On my second tour I was able to speak with Steve the master cutter. He allowed me to take a picture with him. Photos are not allowed after going through the double doors.

When we get home I shall post more and the photos.
