Ok, I had no clue what LGMH is.. According to google it is net speak for "love gives me hope". After a Dis boards search, I now get it. I will see if I can squeeze in a stop at Home Depot this morning.

Well, my packing is almost done, the house is clean enough, and we leave tomorrow! Yay!
I have the last few outfits to share.
Shirts for my in-laws who will be with us the first 3 days:

Epcot outfits
This is the design that I was most disappointed with. And, I did the Minnie version for me, but HATED how it turned out, so I did the red polo instead.
![]()
Close-up of embroidery (I do not recommend this design!)

Shirts I made for DH and I for Peter Pan day. Mine matches my skirt, and his is a line from a Captain Bogg & Salty song. (If you like Sharkey & Bones from Jake and the Neverland Pirates, you've got to hear CB&S!! It's their other band.)
![]()
Finally, a Mother/Daughter set. We're wearing these the first day at MK while the boys and Daddy(??) wear Cars outfits. This shirt is inspired by a dress by Gorgeous Girls Boutique that got me interested in customs in the first place. Also, the music notes fabric is based on my Steamboat Willie Hallmark ornament. Every time we turn our Christmas tree on, we hear. (You know the tune!)

Back of DD's pinafore (Can you spot the Hidden Mickey?)

Thank you for all the inspiration and fun along the way! I love this group!

Must get the kids ready for school and I have to finish my BG today -- wish me luck as I am a slow sewer and being sick will do me no favors. I'm almost done with my major contribution though and then have something much simpler to add to the package.
Excuse any typos -- I wrote "know" instead of "no" and "also" instead of "almost" but I had to take an excedrin pm so I could sleep last night. I'm sure there are typos I haven't caught.
Someone asked me about the Manhattan last week and I kept forgetting to post the modelled Pic. Here it is:

We were very fortunate to get all the gang into Chef Mickey's. We had been trying all week to get them added with no luck. When we got to the desk, they told us it was no problem.
I am not sure if it is the fact that we have been doing so much dining in the past few years that I have gotten jaded...or if the dining places have gotten worse...or maybe it is just that we are getting unlucky with our servers. Chef Mickey's was not what I remembered it. We had to ask our server to bring us more drink, to remove our plates...and we are still waiting on him to get the chef to talk to our vegetarian! That is ok...he made his $65 in tips from our table!

Good morning Ladies,
I can't even go back and quote everything b/c I can't remember where I left off. I'm very sick and drugged right now.
Megan was so sweet to want donations for Winter instead of birthday presents. And I adore her birthday outfit -- and really cute apron pics too! We have a huge quilt store in the next city over and I spend way too much $$ in there -- I'm glad it's not too close to my house!
Michellle, glad your MIL is taking a step in the right direction.
Carrie, Iyour outfits -- especially the Steamboat Willie.

QUESTION
Has anyone seen an applique design for the Arkansas Razorbacks?
I am making a gift for my cousins daughter and they are huge RAzorback fans and I want to do a matching skirt. I bought material from MaryJos when I was in Charlotte in May and I cut out the skirt this morning.
Thanks
I think stich on time has one

I don't have that machine but for my machine I need to set the stitch length to the tightest possible to get my satin stitches close enough together. I vary the width depending on what I am doing.Does anyone have a Janome, Memory Craft 4800? DH surprised me with it about 10 years ago after my 30 year old Kenmore stopped working. Okay to the question....what type of stitch would you use to attach a Mickey Mouse head onto a t-shirt? I tried a satin stitch before and it didn't seem tight enough so maybe I'm not using the right width or length combo? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

So I made this skirt b/c I had some extra Tink fabric. The jeans were size 24 months but still fit in the waist so I cut the legs off. Super easy project.

This is a BG I sent to Katelyn and family. Mom loves Mulan and Katelyn had Mulan on her favorites list as well. I made the Mulan t's for mom and Katleyn and dad got Mushu. I just did a dec skirt (Katelyn is 10 y/o) and a coordinating tote.
I don't why my fabrics look all wrinkled on the appliques -- they really look normal in person. The obi on the kimono is a blue as in the movie though it kind of looks purple in the photos, and the purple fabric for the deco is sparkly which doesn't show in the photo.
And a huge thanks to HEATHERSUE for sending me the designs -- I requested Mulan and Mushu and she sent Little Dog as well (which I didn't even know she had the design for). She's the greatest!!!!!!

Just popping in. I was just wondering if everyone could say a prayer for my mother in law. She had a stroke yesterday and not sure how much damage has been done.![]()
Contrary to popular belief, HeatherSue does NOT have an applique design of Mickey standing on his head.
Me <----------- who just ripped out 135 inches of stitches.
I have so much catching up to do. We were at WDW from Sept 10th through the 17th. We stayed at All Star Movies and I loved it there. I'd like to stay at every hotel at least once!
I didn't see very many customs and whenever I did and wanted to approach the mom, it always looked like a bad time (either their child or mine seemed unhappy at the time.)
My dd wore her animal kingdom pettiskirt twice because she like it the best and flat our refused to wear her rapunzel. It wasn't a big deal to me, but I think it made my dh mad. She told me what she didn't like about her rapunzel so I told her I'd change it when we got home. She turned 6 on the 16th and we went to the Halloween party. She wore her Belle dress that entire day and really liked it. The cast members and Belle liked it too.
Here are a few pictures

I have to repair the Belle dress a little. She stepped on the hem several times and ripped out part of the gathering.
Thanks for looking.
This is my second jellyroll skirt. I have another idea for a third jellyroll skirt with the leftover pieces from this skirt. I only had to use half of the jellyroll for this skirt because it didn't have much gathering so it didn't use that much fabric.

When I was sewing the skirt my younger daughter said that it looked like a box of crayons with all the colors. Then I remembered that I had the crayon alphabet from Planet Applique and here is the results.

just want to share a special something D~ made for Megan....I had asked for a simple t-shirt with a mickey head on it and D~ added her special pixie dust of course and sent this.....

an adorable shirt, skirt and hair bow!
thanks D~ Megan LOVES IT!!!
LOL! I've NEVER done that....(ok maybe a few hundred times!)
So, yesterday was Animal Kingdom day. We managed to get in all the kids favorites and a few extras as well. Somehow the heat made us a bit more tired than normal, so we left around 2:30... took a short shopping trip (hubby forgot his swim trunks) and came back tot he room where DD and I took a nice stroll around the grounds and Dad and DS stayed int eh room and...wrestled!
Dinner last night was at 1900 Park Fare. Got to meet Kristen for a couple of minutes...she and her family (gorgeous) were leaving as we arrived.
I had heard so many good things about 1900 Park Fare ...it left me a bit flat. The buffet line is set up a bit weird, two lines that meet in the middle with different foods in each. Food was only so so for us, and the extreme loudness made it really hard on Mr D. The server, even after being reminded REPEATEDLY about Mr D's birthday brought a cupcake to the woman sitting next to us (her birthday as well) but totally forgot him. Of course, all the characters wished him Happy Birthday...but he was very disappointed.
Came back to the room watching an extreme lightning show! It was beautiful! (however, kinda strange these people in FL...I would NEVER stay in the pool while all the lightning and thunder going on around us. The pool was JAMMED FULL!

Glad to hear there is some improvement. I guess she really had a craving for sugar. Keep us updated. Still praying for a full recovery.Thanks everyone for the prayers. They do believe she will be able to walk again. But some of her behavior is a little wonky even though her family seems not want to admit it. She ate a whole bag of hershey kisses and then was begging for more like a drug addict.They actually had to give her an insulin shot. And her speech is still slurred.
Our house is command central so all week we have had people coming and going. I miss my alone time with just my family. But my kids are getting to see their cousin and having so much fun.

I realize that I rarely post, but I want to tell you how much I enjoy reading and seeing your creations. The sense of humor and wit does a lot to pick me up!
Many of you know that I have been struggling with health issues. Because of dizziness, I still can't sew right now (and is why T-beri now has a new to her car,) but am hopeful that my new doctor will get to the bottom of WHY it and other things are happening. She has already discovered that one of the meds the other dr. had me on was causing my coughing (I've got ribs of steel, ladies.)
I have 3 appointments next week and at least one the week after with different specialists. I can live with pain (I have since I was 12 years old.) I am asking you to pray that they are able to stop the dizziness, nausea and falling. I am so lucky that I haven't broken anything other than a couple of toes!
This is an outfit I did for a BG, it's a CASE form Ellen, I believe (in the photobucket account). It was my first time doing the audrey skirt. Aside from cutting my finger, it was fairly simple and quick, and I got to do rolled hems on my serger for the first time, too. I hope to make some more of these skirts, but my dd doesn't like the ruffles just in the back. She wants them all the way around.

My first spiral skirt out of another of those decades-unfinished projects that make me feel better about my lack of focus. These fabrics were supposed to be a duvet cover for my bed... when I was about 8!
![]()
But I couldn't figure out a top I liked to go with the skirt once my theme changed (after a week of chasing Nemo fabrics and finally realizing that the one I ordered online wasn't going to get here in time). So I adapted the same tute/pattern into a dress. This one is made from the Cinderella simply sweet I made DD10 for our last trip. She ruined it with the Sharpie from her autograph book so I threw it in the scrap fabric bag.

I ended up happy with the way both came out, so instead of being practice pieces destined for the dress-up box DD has two new twirly pretty things, and I know exactly what I need to do to make her Christmas dress.
Please ignore all the threads- I managed to get everything on for the test fit, but I don't think I'd get it back on her tonight- the threads will be gone before we leave, I promise
It's an Insa skirt- Ithis skirt pattern; Heathersue's appliques, and I made up the top.

Sorry for so many pics, but its the only way to see the whole thing
Almost forgot- I cased the concept from Leslie- did a different top, and different fabrics, but the idea of using floral fabric, Princesses, Insa and the ruffles were inspired by her outfit.
My take on Tink was Carla's twirl scallopini- it could be done with a leafier looking panel and a frankenpatterned simply sweet I think to make a cute tink...

I love the dress!!!! I can't wait to see the pictures of Sara Beth in it!!
By the way, I saw Sara Beth at our fair the other day. She walked right by me. Long hair, cute little glasses. I didn't see you though!
okay I did a little sewing today. I made a taggy blanket to go with the gift card for my DH's partner. They had a little girl after years of tryin

My daughter totally agrees with you. We are so lucky to live near Winter and my daughter's class took a field trip there. She fell in love with her so we had her 7th birthday there. This is the outfit I made for her party.

She got to pet Winter!

We haven't see it yet but Megan can tell from the commercials that it the story has been altered and she is not happy about it! I don't know why they do that when the story is compelling as it is. I mean the story made a six year old have her birthday with Winter and ask for donations in lieu of presents so it must be pretty good! Anyway, if anyone ever veers over to Clearwater from Disney Megan would love to take you to show you her friend!
Awesome birthday present. The dress is so cute. My DD wants one, but I think she is going to wait till next year to get that. She isnt really good yet at taking care of her dolls.

mommyof2princesses -
Great job on the AG dress! The triplets aren't into AG dolls yet but two of my other granddaughters are. They would love this!
(My daughter says that I need to get my post count to 10 to post pictures.)

Well my MIL has been moved to rehab and has actually taken a few steps so she is heading on the road to recovery.I had to tell my boss today that I will need to be flexible on one of my days as I scrounge around for a sitter. Luckily my mom said she will take both days but I don't want to feel like I am taking advantage of her.

I can't even go back and quote everything b/c I can't remember where I left off. I'm very sick and drugged right now.
Short drive by post....we leave in 45 minutes and I haven't gotten the kiddoes up yet, much less dressed!
Our relaxing day rained the second half...and that helped to make it very relaxing. We managed to spend an hour at the pool in the morning, get everyone checked in and lunch at Earl of Sandwich (and most importantly my DS got his birthday present of Cars Legos!) before it started raining. I loved the boat ride to DTD. No worrying about a place to park...wonderful. We got the last ride back to POFQ before the lightning started and they shut down the boat. (my son and his family got stuck taking a bus back...took them over an hour!!!) Of course, walking in the rain was kind of nice...
We were very fortunate to get all the gang into Chef Mickey's. We had been trying all week to get them added with no luck. When we got to the desk, they told us it was no problem.
I am not sure if it is the fact that we have been doing so much dining in the past few years that I have gotten jaded...or if the dining places have gotten worse...or maybe it is just that we are getting unlucky with our servers. Chef Mickey's was not what I remembered it. We had to ask our server to bring us more drink, to remove our plates...and we are still waiting on him to get the chef to talk to our vegetarian! That is ok...he made his $65 in tips from our table!
The characters get a mixed review...Mickey and Minnie were hilarious, while Donald was just going through the motions. Pluto was our favorite. He managed to embarrass the 16 year old in our trip! We took a video to send to her boyfriend...
Today is Magic Kingdom and Biergarten for dinner in Epcot. Looks like the rain will stay away most of the day, so we should actually get to see some fireworks tonight at Epcot!
(seeing a few more customs yesterday...and our Chef Mickey shirts were the hit of Chef Mickey's...all the handlers loved them!)

mommyof2princesses that is the doll she wants. She loves the long hair on her and the Hawaiian outfits. I bought her one of the Disney dolls while we were there this summer and so far it is still just sitting in a chair. Hopefully she will start to play with it more. I cant/wont play Barbies with her (shes too picky) but I really want to start playing dolls cause I
