Nina Davy Jones was as good as he was when I was a kid. He still looks good I hope to be moving and looking as good when I am his age I think he is about 60 for real put pictures on facebook because I forgot my camera and had to use my phone I would love to go back and see him Sunday but probablly wont get to the kids want to go eat some place off property for mothers day.

...well I am 56, and he is almost 10 years older than me....If I remember correctly, he turns 66 this December!

I think I'm going to be listening to some more Monkees today when I go down and finish up the measley teacher gifts I need to get finifhed in less than a week...

Here are the My Little Pony outfits I made for my DGDs this weekend (thanks to Aimee for the skirt tutorial). I really need to start taking pictures when it is daylight. My cream colored room makes an awful coloring to my pics.

Thanks for looking.

These are so cute! I just love the appliques!

Thought I would share...these are the outfits I have been working on for the past 2 weeks. I am right now doing a Vida that I let Lorelei pick all the fabrics for all I can say is WOW do we have different tastes

Oops have to hem the shorts make them look cuffed

Finally got an outfit done for Disney!! Wahoo now only 10 more to go

sorry they are so big forgot to resize

She looks like she loves them! They turned out adorable!

Got a new machine a Babylock Ellure, I am IN LOVE!!

I have busy busy busy... will post pictures soon off to read the thread.

Can't wait to see pictures... I love new machines!

Sewing room update:
Well, we went back to get more counter tops on Tuesday and they were sold out. They might get more in on the 18th... so now I have to wait. My sewing room is half done, I even have Victoria's machine up there on the counter top that's installed - but I haven't moved my machines in yet. There's not quite enough room for them. So, even if the counters come in by the 18th, we won't have time to install them until after our trip. Oh well... in the mean time - I'll make some curtains or something for the room.

I do like Robison Anton thread it has a nice weight to it, but my personal favorite is Hemmingworth thread. It's about the same price range as RA, but it comes with a free dust cover and the way it's wound on the spool, you don't need to use an end cap.

Here's a picture of it...

Okay, I am such a nerd, because I too am so envious of this thread collection! It is so pppuurrrty!

Baby Madison is on her way to heaven. A beautiful little angel.

I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for your family.

Question:

Have any of you ever received any negative comments about items you've made, or chosen to make?

The reason I am asking... An aquaintace (the mother to a friend of my dd's - and I am not sure that I'd call this one of her good friends - just a classmate for years - they don't hang out together or anything) made a comment about Allison's dress for the wedding on my FB page... I thought it sounded kind of rude and I am actually a little hurt by it. Her comment was: "this is a wedding outfit? cute." Maybe I am just jumping to conclusions - but it really irritated me.

Here's the picture to remind you:

D~ <--- sorry for venting.

Rude! I think the outfit is wonderful!

Work has been insane so I haven't on the boards much since I postsed the photos of my girls' skirts. I wanted to answer your question about how I keep the netting (UGH...can't think of the word for it now...) looking crisp. I have to say I haven't even had a chance to wash the skirt yet but it doesn't look too bad after she wore if for hours. I'll let you know how it comes out of the wash. I did worry that it won't look too great but that DD nevers asks me to make anything for her so I felt like I had to do what she wanted even if she will only be able to wear it once.

ok, it has been 11 days now. This injury to my foot from the sting ray has to get better now. I can't be in this much pain for this long.

OUCH!!! Hope you get relief soon!




Theresa-I've got to go shopping for coffee syrup today.

I have to pack this weekend!

I have been catching up on a few things and making lists my little guy has been very clingy so everything will be abouthim today though I found a tutorial on a weighted blanked so I may try to make one of those withsome scraps.

 

[NiniMorris]

Not sure if I should be happy or sad! LOL

I had given a quote on 50 t shirts. I was barely making any money at all, but enough to make it worth my while. It took them FOREVER to decide to do the shirts. Then, they only sent me 8 shirts...with no names for which shirt went for which info...

At 8 shirts I was loosing money BIG TIME! Just got word that they want me to send the shirts back...they have changed their minds!

Since it is local I can drop the shirts off on Monday...I am so glad I didn't block out the time for the shirts... so I am torn between being happy or sad!


I am also torn between being happy or sad about the number of customs/shirts for our Disney trip in September...after last year making 20 customs and 140+ shirts, it seems a little unreal to be making zero customs and only 52 shirts.. not sure if it is a good thing...or not!


Yes, I'm stalling!

Sorry that you lost the business. It is hard when an order doesn't come through. However, I think I would feel chained to my machine if I committed to 50 shirts!

[DisneyTeacher01]

Thanks so much for the advice on the hoop purchases I received them in the mail today...they fit soooooooo much better than the one that came with the machine!

I love these! The rainbow rickrack adds the perfect touch and the embroidery for the ponies is great- the manes must have been time consuming!

aw you are so sweet. I found a tutorial online and we were talking at the Mother's day cookies & Milk at my little guy's school and one of the other Mom's just got one for her kid and she said they paid a lot for it and I figured it couldn't be that hard to make one for my J because I bet he would love it.

It is another thing to add to my ever growing list.

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Beautiful! where do you buy it

I love your thread rack. Where did you get that????

Ok very jealous of the beautiful thread collection!!

Okay, I am such a nerd, because I too am so envious of this thread collection! It is so pppuurrrty!


Lynn

Thanks everyone! I get it at a local sewing shop here in Omaha called Sew Creative, but I'm sure you could find a local dealer through the Hemmingworth website too. There's only two shops here in town that sell it and I won't even step foot in the other shop because the women are so SNOTTY!!

As for the rack, I bought it at a yard sale for a dollar or two...I think it was intended to be a kick knack shelf, but I repurposed it

There's actually a sweet story behind my thread collection. I bought one spool of it when the snotty saleslady at the snotty sewing shop pushed it upon me. I thought "I'll buy one spool to shut her up and see if it's as great as she's saying it was" and I hate to admit it, but she got me hooked! I'm just relived another store sells it! I raved about this thread so much, how pretty and shinny it was that my hubby bought me about 2 dozen spools of it for my birthday. I woke up to an empty basket by my bedside, and my hubby explained I was going on an "egg" hunt. He and the boys hid them all over the house like Easter Eggs. The boys and I had so much fun going on a thread hunt. There's a lot on a spool, I got these a couple birthdays ago, and I've only replaced a few colors here and there.

The thread is just so shimmery it almost has a glitter quality to it when you're in the sun, and it washes really nice too. I've never had an issue with running or anything, I use it on everything I make for the kids and I don't "baby" their clothing at all. Very washer and drier friendly!

SO PRETTY!! I would have given a right arm to have those outfits when I was a little girl!! I was knee deep in My Little Pony ponies! I hope Annabella will like them so I have a reason to dig them out to play again.

birthday outfit for a trip to Mystic Aquarium

I love them all!! That Little Mermaid set is ADORABLE!! I need to get my tail in gear and get back to sewing!! The plan was to sew BEFORE the night before our trip this year, but I've had zero time these days.

Some lovely outfits guys

I finaly made a Feliz....I would have never have managed it with out the tutorial...thank you....I would do a few things differently next time but I'm pleased with my first effort.

Beautiful work!! I love the look of a Feliz, but I think my little girl has a few years before I make her one...I think right now one it's too much dress for her. Maybe I could experiment on my niece though...hmmmm...

 

[h518may]

I haven't posted in a long time, but I love to look. I have finally finished several things.

First A dress for a friends DD

And I used the scrapes for a skirt for my DD

I tried my hand at bows

And last for now is DD in a summer outfit I made her

These dresses turned out so cute! I just love the surf board fabric you used on the Feliz... can I ask where you found it???

...

I just have to say that I am super-duper jealous. I ran and checked out the Hemmingworth website after you mentioned it... We only have 2 stores in our entire state that sell it! And wouldn't you know it... the closest one to me is 3 hours away... however - if we wouldn't have moved 5 years ago - it would have been 10 minutes away... figures. Oh well - if I am ever in that neck of the woods - I need to stop in and try out the thread.

I haven't posted in a long time, but I love to look. I have finally finished several things.

Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I need to make a nursing cover up to complete a nursery make over for a friend. She wants one that does not have boning in it. The only patterns I can find all have boning.

I know that Theressa used to sell some on her Etsy shop, but she doesn't have any listed right now, and I really want it to match the fabrics we are already using in the nursery.


Any help will be appreciated!
