Im right outside of Levittown in Croydon I say we all just have a big party and we can do each others rooms Course I dont have a room yet so I volunteer to go last

OMG....you are like just a few miles from me!!!! I'm right by Truman!!!!
I don't really have a room either...I've taken over the living room

Lol....Im in Essington, just near the airport!!!

my room is just awful and I never want to spend the time to clean it up because Im working on the next project, you know?

So, has anyone made a washable doggie bed? my BFF is getting a new puppy and I want to make her somethings! Also, has anyone made a collar?

The airport isn't that far to travel either!!!

I keep saying I'm going to make 'cat cushions' to get my cats off my furniture....so far it's on my dream list.

Oh, I love this...I wish I was able to do this when my DD14 was younger...she would have worn it until it fell off her.


I LOVE that Dumbo apron...but for some reason it won't quote

I spent hours trying to make the Mickey Mouse Cake Pops for my niece's birthday. Never again. Darn, should have taken a photo-since I won't be making them again.

I have a lot of catching up to do. I rarely have time to look at all the beautiful clothes. I'm now organizing a fridge swap, and trying to get some dresses done. I know how fast my trip starts creeping up.

Must get to bed. More parties tomorrow-birthdays and 1st communion.

I made ds's tutor and the kids' teacher (they are in the same class as 1-3rd grade is together) identical gifts for Teacher's Day -- well sort of identical ~ same items, different colors.

Up first is for Karin the tutor. Aivilo tote (extra large) made with a larger lining so it peeks out of the top of the bag. I have several pockets on the interior too. And I put batting in the handles for added comfort. There is also a coffee cozy that is reversible, a luggage tag (didn't add her name to it yet), a key ring, a book mark and an ankle bracelet. I did fabrics with blues and browns for her since her house is decorated with a lot of blues. I only ever see her in yoga wear so not sure how she dresses when going out, but am hoping she is happy with these colors:

Funny story I need to add ~ I made her a bracelet for Valentine's Day and she recently fell and broke one ankle and sparined the other and is walking on two air casts right now. I had already decided to do an ankle braclet for her and just now got off the phone with her to schedule ds for this week. He is going on Tuesday which is Teacher's Day so I told her I'd send her gift with my ds and dh as I work that day and won't drop him off. She then begged me to make her another bracelet for Teacher's Day and I told her gift was already done. Since I said "done" she knew I made it and thinks she is getting a bracelet. Nope, it's an ankle bracelet and it will be useless to her right now!

And this is for Natasha -- classroom teacher. She wears tons of green and brown -- I would say 50 to 75% of the time. I loved the green and brown flower fabric, but really had a hard time finding corrdinating fabrics. I think the brown dot might be a dark for the rest of the bag, but my other choices in fabrics weren't so hot either.

I never did notebooks covers. I may still do them for just little memo pads that they can toss in the totes, but if I don't get them done I'm not going to worry b/c I think (hope) they'll be pretty happy with what I did get done.

These are awesome. Love the fabric colors. I have got to make myself one of these along with a rosetta bag!!

Success! I found the poly pelletts at walmart, now perhaps I can work on a spy bag sometime this week

YAY!!!! Wendy found some at Joann's but the two Joann's we have do NOT carry them and they are outrageously priced at Hancock's.

They must be selling the one I sent back the other week!

The new one they replaced it with has worked perfectly though!

That's what I was thinking With a machine that can be be finicky to begin with the last thing I would need is one that is refurbished. I'd rather pay a little more and hopefully get one like the second one you got. I'll have a hard enough time figuring everything out as is with a perfect machine. Then again, I amy not get one so may have nothing to figure out.

Here is the pink Cinderella dress I made for Princess Peanut's Wish Trip. I'm so happy they were able to go!

I commented on the BG how beautiful it turned out. It looks like you put a lot of work into it. And Peanut looks so pretty in pink. I'm so glad she made the trip as well, I just hope she's fairing OK and not spiking more fevers.

I keep saying I'm going to make 'cat cushions' to get my cats off my furniture....so far it's on my dream list.

My mom made me a cat pad for a chair and it really helped until I moved it to my ds's bed -- he has a black bedspread and one of our cats has lots of white on him so it's not a good combination. Now that the pad is on the bed he doesn't use it all!


THANK YOU all for the comments on the totes for the teachers. I just hope they like them -- I think they will but you just never know. I give the regular teacher gift cards for Xmas and end of school so I at least know those are appreciated!

I managed to get 4 shirts finished and one half done yesterday afternoon. And 3 Rosetta bags cut and started. I was surprised how fast everything went when you aren't having to fiddle with the machine! I'm not 100% happy with the way it stitches on fills, but appliques look really good. (not that I do much fills anyway!)

I didn't get a final count of how many raffle tickets were purchased for my Pink Rosetta bag; but when I left, 2 hours after the event started, it was up to 47 and there were still people in line to purchase the tickets. Since the event didn't officially end until lunch time yesterday, I won't know the final count until Monday afternoon.

It was not displayed very nice, just laying on a table with a bunch of other junk they were selling. I was really surprised that it was even noticed. Most of the people that bought tickets were word of mouth...and there was a stack of my business cards there in case anyone wanted one...

I am hoping my sewing student cancels tomorrow. Again. I really have some shopping to do at Joann's. As often as she cancels, her baby will be here before she even gets started on the quilt! But since I have something I really need to get done, she will be here with bells on!

To all those hit by the storms, my heart and prayers go out to you. To the family members of all those still missing, I can only image the pain of not knowing. To all those helping, even in some small way, I know the victims are very grateful.

All of my family and extended family made it through safely. (we just heard from the final few yesterday) Those in North Alabama have managed to contact us, even though they are without power. (power not expected to be on for a couple of weeks) My Son in laws family were extremely lucky. They didn't even loose a single shingle off their roof after at least FIVE tornadoes touched down a few yards from their house. Friday evening, they found two bodies in the field across the street from their house. So far, they are unidentified.




On a good note, we are going to be able to take advantage of free dining again this year. I really need to get busy making customs....oh wait a minute. My daughter won't wear customs this year. That's right, I get to make T SHIRTS only!

today's project is to work on some gives.

I did all the Heat Press shirts for one yesterday. I would like to get 4 Tshirts done today.

I also need to do 2 skirts hoping those get cut out. Looks like I will be bringing the embroidery machine to the dining room table for the day.

Questions?

If by chance I might need to order some thread and prewound bobbins for the PE770 I am confused as to what to order.

Bobbins are sided and sideless
What do I buy???
Do I buy sided or sideless?
Do I buy Polyester filament or spun polyester?
Do I buy a set of black and a set of white?
What size set is recommended -- I'd rather order more than not enough?

For thread I was planning on the 50 most popular colors. Do I buy the polyester collection or the rayon collection?

And scissors are included with the PE770??? Are they decent or do I need to buy something better? I assume the hoops come with the machine, correct?

I reread alot of the questions and answers posted by Vester on part 24 or I'd have even more questions. I would just really appreciate any detailed help i can get on ordering from Marathon.

Is there anything else I would need to order from Marathon? I assume I can just get spray adhesive from Joanns and I already have plenty of stabilizer from hand appliqueing.

Dh will have to help me with a thumb drive and all the computer things.

And HEATHERSUE, how about a ShihTzu design and some horses (Bella Sara style would be perfect!!)?

Thanks ladies and gent(s).

The dress came out really nice. That fabric is gorgeous.

So pretty! I love the princess ribbon.

Ugh I can't get my machine to recognize a PES design.

THis is the first time this has happened to me. When I try the DST version it says it is to big for my hoop. It was the last shirt I needed for one of my gives.

Going to go work on 2 tinkerbell shirts instead.

 

[mkwj]

Scissors should come with it. If you need applique scissors, revlon nail scissors work great. I saw a cheap set at walmart the other day too in the sewing section. As for the bobbins I am not sure. I always buy the spool and just do them myself. I have never used black bobbin thread. It would be useful when doing a black design. Sadly I have had to use a sharpie before to cover a few threads.

I wish I could help you with the PE770 - sadly, I don't own one yet. I am hoping soon though.

I just wanted to stop in and show a picture of dd's skirt for the wedding... again, I let her choose the fabric and the pattern - I just sewed. I really love how this one turned out.

I made these outfits for Avy's wish trip. The mom was intersted in Candyland outfits for GKTW so I made Vidas for Avy and her sister Ella. AboveH20 was kind enough to applique coordinating shirts for the boys and she made Avy and Ella some cute purses with gingerbread men in them too (hopefully she'll post hers soon).

Avy's dress is Princess Frostine with the purple and blues and Ella has Princess Lolli with the pinks and oranges:

It's a small world afterall I used to live in Goldenridge when I went to Truman many many many long years ago

definitely a small world!!!I've been in Yellowood almost my whole life Once when we went to Chef Mickey's.... we were seated next to a family from Blue Ridge. I still chuckle at that.....traveling over 1000 miles to meet 'neighbors'




I got an email from Joann's..... This wednesday they are offering a senior citizen discount an additional 20% off IN STORE. I'm debating whether or not to drag my MIL shopping.

This is beautiful! I have really enjoyed seeing these "commoner" dresses as an alternative to the princess-y dresses. It's seems perfect timing with the Royal wedding and all.

So so cute. Your dd has a great eye for coordinating fabrics. I'm guessing you have a future designer of sorts there with you. You must share the pattern!

I am still in awe of how wonderful these dresses are. Mom must THRILLED with the results! And I love your teacher gifts, but lost the quote somewhere.

Your dresses are wonderful and mom was VERY appreciative. I'm sooooo far behind in commenting that I actually wrote it on my list of things to do today. (Haven't gotten to it yet, but I mowed the lawn for the first time this year - husband planned his out of town trip well!)

Here are the t-shirts I made for the boys. Mom wanted something for Candyland, and try as I might I couldn't find anything boyish and don't have Andrea's hand applique skills. I made single color gingerbread men, hoping they look like the game pieces from Candyland.

I purchased a candy font that was waaaay too big for the t-shirts so decided to make little bags for the girls.

They ended up being smaller than I expected (don't know why, the first try was too big!) so I decided to put something in them.

Those ITH (in the hoop) gingerbread men can be a little addicting.
