The kids customs were definitely well received by both 'Rella and Prince Charming...

I loved everything! It looks like they had a blast.

So, I have made a couple of things I wanted to share. I had to test out a couple of new patterns to get ready for our Disney Cruise next year!
I started with the Ruffle bag. I made the medium size to test out the pattern and the size. Love the size, but I will definetly be making the large for my cruise. And of course in "disney" fashion.The pattern was also very easy!

I also made the reversible romper...also very easy! Love this! Cannot wait to make more. Just wish this pattern went larger. I plan to let my son wear this one for his birthday, so I will post pics of him actually wearing it later.

Now, I have several baby showers to make outfits for. I also have birthday outfits, Easter, and to start preparing for our cruise!!![]()
Hi all!
Forgive me, there is TMTQ (I'm almost 30 pages behind!) but I LOVE the creations that have been posted...the dessert shirts, the Cinderella AG outfit, etc...TDF! Congrats to Granna - sewing baby clothes is SO much fun!
We've been back from WDW 2 weeks and I'm just now starting to come out of my post-trip funk.I'm trying to convince DH that we need to go for MNSSHP but he's not buyin' what I'm sellin'.
Anyway - as promised, here are some pics of the custom outfits in action:
Day 1: at the airport

Poor DS started complaining of severe ear pain about 1 hour after we arrived. We had to have an in-room MD come to visit us (I HIGHLY recommend this service!) only to find out he had a raging double ear infection...one dose of acetominophen and amoxicillin and he was good to go for dinner! Unfortunately, because of the MD visit, we missed our ADR at Crystal Palace...but we got SO lucky and were able to pick up a last minute cancellation at 1900 Park Fare!The kids customs were definitely well received by both 'Rella and Prince Charming...

Lastly, before I left, I posted a question about hats/headwraps for my BFF who was starting chemo. Thank you for all the hugs, prayers, etc. I loved the suggestions that were posted and I bookmarked them. However, I really liked the idea of making a bucket hat so I turned to my go-to pattern website, YCMT! I modified the reversible patchwork bucket hat to fit an adult and here's what I came up with:
![]()
Her DH is an avid hunter and I thought this would be cute. It's her corduroy CHEMOflage hat!
I also made two matching smaller hats for her DD6. They kind of look like fedoras in these pics...but they are actually bucket hats!![]()
OT - is it just me or is Photobucket acting completely wonky the past few days? This post has taken me close to 24 hours to complete because I can't access all of my uploaded pics!![]()
Very sweet bag and love the rompers. What are you making for the cruise?So, I have made a couple of things I wanted to share. I had to test out a couple of new patterns to get ready for our Disney Cruise next year!

I have a disney font I D/L but I use it in PE8 and put the words together. I am more than happy to help you out by doing the personalization if you want. But I leave in two weeks.So much cute stuff lately! I don't have time to go back and multi-quote on everything though!
Does anyone know of a Disney font I could purchase that works like the built-in ones for the Brother 770? I bought one on etsy but it is completely worthless to me because I can just do one letter at a time. I wanted one to do some personalization for a Big Give. I may have to stick to what I have in my machine for this one but if I would like to find one for future use. TIA!
You betcha Wendy!I am really happy with her progress! She's doing a better job eating too, and sleeping less, she's still clearly a low tone kid, but not quite as noodle-ish as before. I have found adding warm bottles back into her day is really helping her- she seems to want to eat more. She still has her picky-refusal days. But I have found the reverse of what the pedi suggested to work- I give her a bottle FIRST, wait half hour and then offer breakfast- she is much more likely to eat than if I try to make her eat first. This morning was egg salad, strawberries and part of a muffin and juice (this is after 5oz of milk half hour before) The days I can't do this- give milk, and wait, are the mornings she eats hardly anything.That is incredibly AWESOME!!! You have been waiting so long for that Nicole!! now you know its just a matter of time till you are chasing her!!! Maybe after she gets good at the walkin, she'll start with the talkin!! Now that she is moving more, she will use even more calories!!!! Pump her up!!!

I'm not sure yet.I have a HUGE three ring notebook that I have started my cruise plans in, and over half of it is pictures of ideas that I would like to do. I guess I just need to sit down and do some actual plans.
I LOVE this thread though, it gives me lots of ideas! Of course, that can be a serious problem.

I'm so sorry Liam got an ear infection, but so glad you got a dinner at Park Fare on short notice. I love seeing all the customs in action. I just adore that Minnie Portrait Peasant!Hi all!

I was so excited to share this with you, meant to post on your FB
This is the new pattern that is coming out from Sis Boom and CarlaC. I can't even TELL you how much I love this!!! It looks difficult (to me anyway) but it goes together SO smoothly and quickly. Do NOT fear the zipper!
This is Lydia in the Marissa (not the best pictures of Lydia, she's making a really weird face, but a good shot of the dress):

and just because I think Lyddie is a nut and she cracks me up every single day:

and, this is me in the adult version, the Jamie:

Yes, it was freezing out.
Is anyone looking for a house in Michigan? Our neighbors are selling.
Come move to Michigan where even our evergreens turn brown in the winter! If you love tan, beige and brown, THIS is the place to be!
I think that should be the new state motto. I might mention it to our new governor.

The pictures are great. But you are too funny. Tan, Beige and Brown - the official colors of Michigan.
Ok a couple of things (You KNOW I tell it like it is)
Why did you allow that child to grow? She looks sooooo grown up!
The poor girl is dressed in a sundress and sandals in the winter! Where did you think you were Florida?![]()
Hey Ladies! It's been forever and a day since I posted. It's a rainy afternoon and I am procrastinating. What better to help me with my procrastination than the DIS.

Umm...it WAS in the 40s, does that make it better??? And, I let her wear a coat out, which we threw off just before the pictures were taken, let's see how else can I redeem myslef.... she has leggins on, which I only pushed up seconds before the pictures were taken, I even let her back in the house when we were done!
We like to pretend we live in Florida!
Thanks, TJ! It's funny you mentioned that dress because Hannah found a Christmas Belle costume by accident. It's a good think because I swore I would never make another!![]()
Here are the girls before MVMCP.

Sweetie, 40's is NOT summer. I know in Michigan that might be the best you can get, but you need 70 to be "summery" (ok a sunny 65 might work for MI LOL).
