They are so cute!!!

Really? You don't call them suckers? Around here a lollipop is a big, flat sucker.

What about Taffy's? Anyone call them that?

Hehe - Im hoping someone can find one of those HUGE FLAT SUCKERS - we actually dont have a candy store around here - wouldnt that be so fun to send them? It would be as big as Kades little FACE!! haha!!

Hey everyone - there are a lot of things that still need to be shipped for Taylor's big give...if you are having difficulty finishing your gift, could you please let me know? Ship time is right now!!!! Thanks!!

It took me awhile to get my pictures up, but here is the dress I was working on that made me late moving the thread!

Lydia requested an "extra twirly" dress for the Father Daughter Dance. It is REALLY full!

Do you have Cracker Barrel Restaurants there? They usually have those giant flat suckers.

I have to share my fabric find of the day! I was at Fabricland as they had a 50% off sale today. I found this fabric in their bargin section - 100% cotton at $4/metre ($2/metre after the discount!)

I think I now have the right fabric to make outfits for Animal Kingdom (though I wondered after the fact if I should have bought more of the animal print!) I also saw the polka dot fabric Squirrel referred to in an earlier post, though my store wanted $15/metre for them at the regular price.

I used the bottom fabric for an AK dress for my niece, only my fabric had a green background. I got a lot of compliments on it, some thought I bought it at AK. When I told them I made it they said they should sell it at AK. I made the bottom skirt with the animal print and then used two of the fat quarters blenders for the bodice of the simply sweet and made it tie up on the shoulders. I also used the animal print fabric to make a Mickey Head applique on the bodice.

I also went to Fabricland this weekend-I was trying hard to avoid, but the 50% off the bargain centre was hard to avoid. I bought 2 metres of the Christmas Winnie the Pooh print and 1 metre of a striped fabric.

If anyone has time can you vote for my nephew in a Johnson & Johnson contest http://apps.facebook.com/johnsonsbabycanada/entry/118127

I have never seen a leopard at AK-I've only ever seen cheetahs.



I topstitched mine closed. I would think it would be a much tighter stitch than you could get with handstitching and you want it nice and tight so none of the fill comes out.

You could try putting tissue paper under the vinyl-or even just copy paper-it will go over your plate easier and is easy to pull off after it is stitched.

Yes, I'm thinking I made a big mistake making a leopard, but I also think I am going to leave it in the book, label it correctly and send a note that I'm not sure if it's correct for AK but that do have cheetahs.

And what's really sad is my dd was a "cheetah" for Halloween two years ago and this is the fabric I used -- the leopard! How did I not catch that at the time? Oh well, no one was none the wiser when she said she was a cheetah.

I was thinking handstitching wouldn't be as tight as well -- I will top stitch. I double stitched the rest of the bag to keep it more secure.

I read to use the correct foot or tissue paper for the luggage tags. Just so happens my embriodery foot is plastic so I used it. I have a different vinyl for the eye spy bag and that stuck to my metal plate. I just slipped fabric to the side to glide it over the plate as my vinyly is sandwiched between two layers of fabric as well so it didn't catch my glide fabric -- clear as mud? It worked -- that's all that matters!

I couldn't find any conclusive evidence either but maybe you could call Animal Kingdom Lodge and ask them. Someone there might be able to help you. I remember when we stayed there a few years ago the kids were given a coloring book that listed all the animals that they might see roaming the Savannah. Does it really matter? Maybe the family will just think they didn't see any during their visit. I used leopard print for DD4's Animal Kingdom outfit if that helps!

I think the coloring sheets only listed the animals we's see at the lodge -- neither cheetahs nor leopards are visible from the lodge. But the Christmas tree apparently has leopard print ornaments on it -- found that in my searching! And I think both my dd's AK dresses had leopard print too -- as a matter of fact, I don't think our fabric stores have any cheetah print at all.

Here is Kade and Jackson enjoying a "sucker" today (what do they call them where you live - we call them lollipops) - thankfully Kade is feeling much better!!! How cute is this!!

Commented on the Big Give site, but what an adorable pic. We call them suckers. I agree with Teresa that lollipops are the big, flat round things. But according to Wikpedia they are all one in the same.

I have been a huge slacker this weekend. As soon as I put DS to bed I need to finish Korissa's give. Just need to finish the shirts for Mom and Dad. Nothing like last minute

I also want to work on Elliot and Kades give since I just need to heat press the shirts. We shall see.

I feel like such a slacker lately.

You are not a slacker! You just sign up for each and every Big Give in addition to sewing for your family. If I need to sew something for my family I dare not sign up for a Big Give. I also have to pace myself with Big Gives -- my rule is NEVER have more than two going on at the same time. Don't you work full time as well? You are crazy!!!! I think it's absolutely WONDERFUL that you do so much work for the Big Gives. I truely wish I could do them all as well. But don't you dare call yourself a slacker. Call yourself an awesome, giving person instead b/c that's what you are

So very precious! Did Lydia pick out the fabric? Is there a little rose at the back of the ribbon tie (hard to see with the blur)? I love the ankle socks too. I adore ankle socks with dresses. She looks beautiful

Love that tote. Have you ever posted any pictures of some of the TOTES you made?

I've actually only made two. One I made when I wasn't posting for awhile on here and the other I made as a Christmas present -- I did post a pic of it sometime right around the holidays -- maybe not until January knowing me! It had daschunds on it as it was for an avid daschund lover. Maybe I will eventually get around to posting the one I made myself. I'd like to make more -- I love totes. It's just finding the time to do something for myself that is the problem!

No chance that anyone around here would call you a slacker. You are so generous to work on so many Big Gives. A little break usually sets you off on full speed again.

I don't think anyone is going to notice the difference between "cheetah" print and "leopard" print. Or even know that there are no leopards in AK.

I remember that tote you made with the daschunds - it was very cute. Thanks for sharing that link, I too have been looking for a bag with a zipper. My sister MUST have a zipper also and I've been wanting to make her something. I put it that pattern on my YCMT wishlist since I have so many other things to make before I can get to that bag.

Andrea you have me blushing. Thanks for the kind words. I usually have a to do list with at least 30 things on it every day. This past weekend I cooked dinner 2 days and vacuumed and dusted and that was it.

I do work 4 hours a day at my dads office and I own a small business but that doesn't really take much time most days.

Well need to get this party started I have a bunch of things to do on my way to work.

This is just precious! I remember those DDD days... something they will cherish forever.

I don't have much time to go back and multi-quote this morning... Everything is just fantastic these last few days!

Oh, goodness. How precious is that? I'm also totally jealous that you have no snow on the ground...how is that possible in Michigan? We are down to about 1.5 feet - we've had a few days in the 60s so we've had 2.5 feet melt already.

WAAAAAY TMTQ (I'm about 10 pages behind right now!) but I do LOVE the Imagination Movers outfit (my DD1 is a big fan!), the periwinkle blue Mickey Vida, the Small World dresses...and all of the rest of the cute creations that have been posted. Well done, ladies!

We leave on Friday ...SO excited. I've been busy this weekend playing around with the Portrait Peasant pattern (which currently is 15% off - yay!) Have a peek:

and I feel like I need to make ONE more before we leave...I just can't stop! I also discovered a Youtube tutorial on how to make ruffled ribbon socks and now I'm hooked:

So...here's what's going in the kids' suitcases (be assured that I WILL make one more PP and another tshirt for DS!)

Page 19!?!?!!??!!?

Sorry I am tardy, but I was out of town on a skiing trip. Hope this isn't one of those schools that doesn't allow unexcused absences.

I thought you worked full time, but nonetheless, you work every single day! And bravo to you for dusting and vacuuming. I keep my house well organized for the most part -- not a bunch of junk lying around. But I couldn't tell you the last time I dusted unless you count yesterday when I wiped off a shelf that is black that was really showing the dust. And dh even did the vacuuming this weekend!!!! Gotta love that! I work VERY part time -- usually about three days a month. We hava a big house though and tons of trees and yard work abounds. I spent our two days in the 70's doing yard cleanup from things I didn't get to in the fall and I still need another few days.

Wow!!!! I love everything!!! I bought socks to sew beads on and ruffles and never had time before our trip -- you have made me jealous b/c they so complete the outfits! And don't you love the Portrait Peasant? It's easy and I do the same thing with variations on the sleeves and adding bands. I did an apron on one as well that I appliqued. It also makes for lovely nightgowns. Anyway, your creations are beautiful!

I think page 19 is decent -- now if you were past page 25 then I might get a bit concerned.

 

[haleyknits]

I have a question about seams. I don't like thread hanging loose and I don't have a serger. My old machine would eat fabric when I tried to use the zigzag stitch on the edges. I have been doing french seams no everything. It is taking me twice as long (obviously) to finish projects. What do you do if you don't have a serger? Should I attempt to zigzag? I am so nervous that I will ruin whatever I am trying to make.
