Soooooo very pretty -- the dress and the beauty!On a rainy Saturday I was able to complete CarlaC's Sleeping Beauty. Somehow I miscut the sleeves but I think I was able to make it work. It's a little big but she'll only wear it for dinner at Akershus, maybe it will still fit for Halloween.

Can I just say that I am inLOVE
with the new Marissa dress pattern? Oh my goodness. So cute and so EASY! I HATE zippers and this one was so easy to install I couldn't believe it! My models are at the circus with their daddy, so just pics on the hanger this time!
Here are the fronts:

And here are the backs. I added the ties to the back because with the contrasting sash in the front, I thought that it needed some of that color to carry around to the back too.

We're taking the girlies to a local park on Monday for their 3 year and 6 year old pictures...it's supposed to be 70 degrees here in Nebraska!![]()
Wish I could contribute to the new Big Give. I'm just not able to right now. I'm having an MRI on Monday and will see the spine specialist on the 29th to talk about where to go from here. I'm doing everything I can to avoid surgery! Been there--done that on 4 levels of cervical spine---don't want a repeat on the lumbar!
Here are the bur cloth cupcakes we made for our friend's baby shower last month. I had the girls sew them up. They started to do the clipping, but then got tired, so I did most of that! We all rolled them up into cupcakes. These were a lot of fun, and were the HIT of the shower!

But, hey, did I ever post this dress?

Simply Sweet dress with a Heathersue Minnie Head.
TJ love the minnie dress.
here is one of the things I did tonite. I finally set my sewing machine back up after taking it to my mom to try it out.
A friend of mine just adopted a baby so I made her this little gift my version of a taggy blanket.

Greetings from WDW!!! It's a mob scene here, but we're still having a good time. Savannah is enjoying the extra attention her Birthday girl shirt and tiara brings, she also recieved the b day button at check in, and forgot she was wearng it when several CMs said happy birthday Savannah, lol. Rebecca gets lots of compliments on her Rapunzel dress, but the
big hit is my Minnie Rosetta bag. I must have been asked a dozen times where I bought it already. I made the big one, and it's working well though I may add a higher pocket for my cell phone, I keep losing it even
with the other pockets down lower.
Tomorrow is Epcot, I'll try to post more pics to
FB, that's easiest from my phone, so you can get a
sneak peak at my creations. I promise to post pics here when we
get home.
Have a great weekend!
We took the kids to the local daffodil festival today. Here she is (and her brother) in the dress I made. (Okay, so I went a little photo happy!)
![]()
WOW love everything that was posted!! Those Daffodil pictures just POP!!! Love the buzz and woody shirts too - cant wait to see them modeled!! Speaking of models, I actually have kids wearing something I made for a change!!! lol...we had fun at beauty and the beast tonight. I was surprised how well the high schoolers did!!! Gaston was my favorite in the show - hillarious. The kids got a bit bored with the songs that are not in the movie - lol.....of course I sat with Hannah who narrated the whole show!! She notice the strangest details. In the very opening number Han says "Aunt Wendy - do you like Belle's shoes"? - lol....cracks me UP!!!! Her headband kept slinding on her head towards the back - how should I adjust it so it doesnt do that next time????
2 Beauty's and a BEAST!!!

I haven't posted in quite a while and haven't been checking either...I can't believe you are all past 100 pages! I sure have missed all of you! I have a few dresses that I am looking forward to posting when they are finished-hopefully this weekend. Love everything that I have had a chance to look at, everything is beautiful!!!!! My DD did turn 6 last weekend and I made her a cute cupcake Vida, so it is funny that so many cupcake outfits where posted not too far back. She got a dog which she really wanted!!!! We had so much fun at her Bluealicious Birthday Party.

Wow you all have been chatty! I had to skim through the thread since I was like 30 pages behind, but the cuteness is just overwhelming. I am amazed at how awesome all these outfits are everytime I check in!
Let me share our St Patrick's Day outfits. I apparently deleted the nice posed shots that I took, so all I have is the action shots from the parade.

Jason - I didn't get one of him standing that is any clearer than this shot:

My oldest, Hunter, is in Civil Air Patrol and they marched in the parade. The parade is a huge deal around here, and one of the traditions is for the girls watching to wear brightly colored lipstick and run out to kiss boys that are marching. Watchers also put beads on the marchers like a reverse Mardi Gras. When I dropped Hunter off, he was in his uniform looking clean and sharp. When I picked him up, this is what I got:
![]()
He said he got 22 kisses (and obviously a ridiculous amount of beads) and he can't wait to march again next year.
Let me throw in some pics of some Big Gives here too - I don't think I've shared these, but apologies if I have:
![]()
I've got one more give finished, one in progress, and one waiting in the wings. At some point I'll get to my kids' summer clothes!
I promise not to be so pic heavy in my next share!![]()
OK... so I bought this pattern a few weeks ago - and I've been itching to make myself a bag - I've found the perfect fabric. I am undecided as to which size to make this bag, and I need help.
First - I need to know size. I am debating between the small and medium bag. There are measurments in the pattern, but can someone please tell me (who has made the bag) if the measurments include the strap, or not? I don't think it does, but I am not sure.
Second - please post the pictures of this bag that you have made... the one I am making is not Disney... but this fabric spoke to me again.
Does your fabric ever "speak" to you? Like, when you see it, it says "I am destined to be _______, please make me that way." LOL
Thanks everyone!

I think they are starting at about $14/meter, so I would get them the same as you when they do 50% off. But yes, I have to pay HST on top of that.Thanks for the offer on the princess prints if I need them bad enough I may take you up on that.

Okay..I've lurked here for the longest time...and just drool over all your creations. You are all so clever and so encouraging to everyone. I've learned alot and appreciate all of you so much. I have managed to make some appliqued shirts (by zigzag) on my old Kenmore, and can only dream of having an embroy. machine...
I'm looking at a pair of jeans that I got at the thrift store for my DGD she's 4..and wondering if it is possible to make a skirt for her and put some of those "ruffles" on the back. Has anyone ever done this? Do you think it would work? Or should I just plan to applique something on the legs by opening the seams the way I've read about here.
Thank you for any help you can send my way...

I know enough not to count my chickens before they are hatched...however, a big opportunity has just landed in my lap that MIGHT mean a profit of around 500 for me. IF it comes true...I think that serger at HSN might become mine.
Of course, I haven't gotten the contract yet, and it will mean a large amount of work to get it finished in time, but it is definitely doable!
I just need to rework my numbers to make sure my profit is what I think it is and no hidden expenses...wish me luck!

Great job on the St. Patrick's Day outfits. Wow you have been busy with the Big Gives! I am sure the families really appreciate the time you have spent on them. Thanks so much for your work!
Never have and never could afford to! It looks really neat but my sewing skills are not good enough to spend that much on fabric.

For D~ and others who may be interested:
Here's my modified Rosetta on me. Sorry I had to take a picture of myself and couldn't get sufficiently far away to get a full body.

This is the bag hanging on the door knob.

The bag is about 16.5" wide by 12" high measuring from the ribbon. The strap is 42". I just did a seam at the shoulder. The ribbon is the same level as the zipper.
