It's called the Rosetta, found on You Can Make This.

Okay, now my turn to ask a repeat question

ANYONE know where I saw the Buzz Lightyear arm design embroidery design?? I know I saw it somewhere, but can't find it now to save my life and it's makin' me CRAZY!! It was the letters "S" and "R" with a spaceship/rocket between the letters, surrounded by a somewhat geometric shape. Anyone? Ferris? Bueller?

Do you think maybe it was one of bowandclothes and now she has them hidden unless you request to see them on facebook?

Just a reminder that today is the ship date for Lisa's Big Give. Please come on over to the Big Give and make sure you didn't sign up for something you forgot about.

Thanks everyone!

I just checked bows and cloths and it wasn't under toy story, so its not hers.

I finished our first Halloween skirt this weekend. I need to do at least 2 more (one for Allie and one for Anna.) We went a bit crazy at the fabric store so I have enough for 10 more skirts.

Hope you like BIG pictures:

What a cute skirt! Looking forward to seeing the other two!

Disney Hollywood Studios Day!

Luckily, we had already done DHS with just the 4 of us, so it didn't really bother us too much that we had to miss out on some things we wanted to do. It is really difficult to get 10 people all in the same place at the same time!

Mr D was again the Rebel Spy in Star Tours, so we tell him we have to watch him a little closer since obviously Disney knows something about him that we don't know!!

The only time we experienced crowds was when the parade went by and we had to wait on it to get to where we were going....weather was a s hot as ever, with only a few stray clouds.

We ended up not doing Sci Fi Drive In. It would have been out of pocket, and we were all tired. We went back to the room a little after 5 and spent the evening in the pool. We had a CS meal at POFQ and then went to bed early!

We did decide to not travel with family next trip...it is too stressful traveling with the whole family. (My DS and DIL took a teenage girl that is supposed to be there to 'watch' the grand daughter. So, how come I am the one who is babysitting? She spent the night with us last night because they wanted to do EMH at Epcot. They were eating with the Princesses and she had to eat CS.....)

Today is our AK/Epcot split day. I am thinking of leaving my husband's phone at the room on 'accident'. They are having his friends funeral today. He is upset because he was supposed to be a pall bearer, and everyone keeps calling him asking why he won't cut his vacation short. They have almost convinced him to fly back and let us fend for ourselves getting home. (I can't drive for long distances since my mini stroke.)

We discovered last night we have extra CS credits (probably from not eating lunch on our first day here!) so we are going to Pizzafari for breakfast this morning...IF I can get everyone up and at 'em...so far it is just me and DS. DD, DGD, and DH are still snoring away....15 minutes after being woke up!!!


===============

I have to say...the Easy Tether I bought for my Droid is the best investment EVER! Even with my phone battery low I can still surf just as quickly as with my Hi Speed at home! I am sold! Seriously thinking about putting it on hubby's phone as well...not that HE would know how to use it, but it would give me a back up.

=================

Still have not used the photopass more than once or twice. Going to have to use it pretty heavy these last 2 days to get my money out of it...I'm thinking we will have to hit every photog we see for the last 2 days to make it semi worth the money I have already spent! Plus we get that stupid photo book from the free dining promotion.

Oh, my free dining flyer is the same picture, but offers the regular dining for moderates. I keep going over and over it to make sure...because the one in my DS room also says only the QS dining for moderates... Mine is definitely different! Now if we can just choose the dates.



(sorry for so jumbled up....not sure what is going on with my tired old brain!)


Nini

Sounds like you had an ok day at DHS. I am not sure if I would travel with extended family to WDW again after our last experience with my parents, my sibilings, and their families. Let's just say my brother and plans do not get along. Telling him we want to be at the bus stop at 7:30 was useless as we were still sitting at the food court watching him eat at 8:30.

Sorry to hear that your DH's co-workers are making comments that make him upset. I imagine they are letting their anger and frustration over what had happened on him (since he is the easy target). I hope your DH will see that spending time with his family is very important too.

I know I asked before, and it did get answered, but I misplaced it. What is the pattern called for the ruffled purse?

It's the Rosetta from YMCT. It's a fun purse to put together.

That's a nice family picture. Thank you for sharing the work your wife did!

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Do you think maybe it was one of bowandclothes and now she has them hidden unless you request to see them on facebook?

Nope, I checked her site, but thanks for the idea.

I just checked bows and cloths and it wasn't under toy story, so its not hers.

Thank you, I was thinking it was her too. I'm starting to think it was Dena from Digital by Design, but she seems to have fallen off the face of the planet

 

[Diz-Mommy]

Here's what I'm needing in case any of you lovely digitizers would like to make my week. I'll love you forever, just sayin'

 

[NiniMorris]

And now we return to our story....As the Trip Turns...or something like that! Yesterday was a strange day. We did Ak in the am and Epcot in the pm. Nothing went according to plan, but in the end it all worked out...more or less!

Due to hurt feelings and sibling rivalry, we did not stay together the whole day. In fact we only saw my DS, DIL, and grand daughter when they needed me to watch the GD while they rode something. (still not sure why we all pitched in to pay for the 'nanny' to come with us!)

DIL and DS decided to go back to the room instead of doing Epcot with us, since they had been there for EMH the night before without GD. Which made our dinner ressie go from 8 people to 4 people. Garden Grill did not disappoint! Our server, Patrick, was well worth the price of admission. In case you don't recognize the name, he is the singing server. He sang the menu to us, sang a song for Dale (because Chip gets all the attention) and sang a special Birthday song to DS. The characters were even better than I remembered them being. (one of the handlers came back to ask why I had them signing fabric blocks, and wants to see it when it is finished ...the quilt that is..)

We endedup not staying for the fireworks as it looked like another storm was coming in...lots of thunder and lightning, but not sure about the rain...I think I was asleep when it came through. I know the power went out in the resort for a while, just enough to mess up the clocks! (and the room got a tad warm while waiting for the air to come back on.)


OK, funny from yesterday...and it did not even happen at Disney! My middle son (who is staying home and watching our dogs at our house) called to let us know they finally returned husband's police car to the house. (only a couple days late) Micheal came home from work to see the police car parked...in our neighbor's driveway! Not only did they park it at the wrong house, but they had blocked in their cars! Not sure exactly when it was parked there, because Michael has to leave at 4 am for work...luckily, he knew where the spare key was and was able to move it back to its own home and spot in the driveway!

I would have loved to hear the phone call from the neighbor to 911 asking why there was a police car blocking their driveway!


Today is our last day at the parks, and I am a little sad. I am a LOT tired, but a little sad on leaving. We will spend a bit of time at DHS in the morning and then go over to MK for the rest of the day ending with dinner at CRT and then home to pack. The other two parts of the family will be going to the party .... if they can stop fighting long enough!

It should be an interesting trip home if they don't make up...they are all riding in the same car!

Enjoy your last day in the parks and I hope the drama settles down for you.

Sarah Love the skirt! I thought about making something for Halloween for my grandchildren but couldn't come up with anything but that skirt is cute!


I'm planning to sew today! I haven't sewn a thing since August and I am really happy to finally be able to get back into my sewing room!

What a fun picture. The costumes came out awesome. Looks like everyone was having a good time. Your wife did a great job on the costumes.

Nini - How fun that your DS was the spy again and it sounds like you had a great time at Garden Grill. The whole nanny thing is very strange but I can't believe you chipped in to pay for her trip too and now you are getting put on babysitting duty. I hope you husband is doing OK with the loss of his friend. I'm sure he feels bad enough and you would think his co-workers would understand that if he could be there he would be. That is a funny story about your husband's police car! Have a safe trip home.

 

[miprender]

Nini A big group hug. Sometimes when DH starts planning a huge trip with everyone that is how I envision it going down with everyone fighting. I hope despite everything happening you still are having a great time. As for the photopass I heard if you prepaid and didn't feel like you had enough pictures they will refund your money.

I can't believe that I drove to Woonsocket, RI to check out the fabric at the Walmart....only to discover that the store is NO LONGER THERE...even the store sign was down. When did that happen? I was there at least 3 months ago to pickup oil for my car -- I saw some awesome fabric but didn't have the time to really shop.

Sheila

Sorry you drove there. They actually closed last week and opened a super Walmart off 146A in Smithfield. I just checked out their fabric department yesterday and they had some cool pirate fabric that I had been wanting for a while.

So where do you live? Hopefully it wasn't that far of a drive.

That is funny b/c I thought about calling her! I found some on line for only $5 a yard as well, but I also knew our small Joanne's had the fabric forever. I kept looking at b/c my dh likes the Beatles but never knew what to make him (this was 2 yrs ago when I first saw it). Well, now dh bought Beatles Rockband so the kids are into them and beleive me, I remembered where that fabric was.

!).

Did you call? I did see alot when I was there in the summer too. It was tucked away in the corner section.

Great job on the skirt x3 .

So sad when the trip is over Love the picture. Did you get more pictures at MNSCHP. If I ever go I want the one in front of the HM with the ghosts.

Thank you, I was thinking it was her too. I'm starting to think it was Dena from Digital by Design, but she seems to have fallen off the face of the planet

I don't know what happened to her either but I noticed on FB she deleted all her current comments.

T-Shirt Question: I want to purchase some t-shirts for our family for our upcoming trip from Jiffy Shirts. I wanted to get some shirts that are for women and ideally a little fitted but not tight. Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Are they any particular ones that you don't like?

I don't want to spend a fortune on shirts that we are only going to wear once.

Nothing like waiting until the last minute!!

TIA

I do wonder what happened to her. I tried to contact her on FB and via email recently and did not hear back from her.

I know! Her designs are still on her page...and yes I did look through them all and didn't see it.

I was going to buy 2 designs from her a couple weeks ago, but saw the postings about her not responding and got worried, so I just digitized them myself!

I ordered these last time I ordered for myself. I am 36, have 2 kids and teeter between a 16 to a size 20....depending on the cut of the shirt. This shirt is cut for a female, and it is not so fitted that you have to order a size larger (like those of us with cantalopes/ watermelons tend to do ) I ordered the 2 XL and it was too big, but not so big I would pay shipping to send it back, but I will order the XL next time. It had minimal shrinkage when I washed and dried it on the white cycle with DH undershirts.

 

[GrammytoMany]

(Miprender) Thanks for the information about the new Walmart off of 146A in Smithfield. I'll have to go down there (maybe this weekend)...live in MA about 3 miles from the Cumberland, RI line...so it wasn't a long drive. Just a pain to get there and see it gone.

Okay all you creative types...I have a challenge for you...

I was talking with the lady that I do the surgery caps for at Vandy Children's Hosp...and we got on the subject that they really need Halloween costumes for the kiddos to trick or treat in if they are in hospital during this time. So we were trying to brainstorm some about what we could do to make some easy costumes that would be a variety of both boys and girls from toddler sizes to probably preteen/teen agers. I know she is going to make some lady bugs out of cotton (If you got the Joanns mailer recently she is making those on p 15!). I was thinking of doing varios capes of a few different sizes...ones like SuperHero capes for boys, princess capes for girls, generic butterfly or birds or bumbees for both... I would love to hear everyone's suggestions. Remeber it needs to be relatively easy, relatively inexpensive material, and can not really be fitted in any manner since we will have no idea of counts and sizes.

Thanks for sharing your creativity!

Please help!

I think it was a few threads back, but awhile ago Froggy (I think it was her) gave us directions on how to add names to designs in Stitch Era. I was successfully doing it and then I didn't sew much over the summer. Now, for the life of me, I can't figure how what I am doing wrong. They just refuse to show up on my machine when I am adding names to designs. I really wanted to do a pumpkin shirt for both of my girls tonight with their names, but it just will not work!!!! I can't find the directions she gave us. Can any of you help me out and repost them if you know where they are?

Thanks!

 

[disneygirlsanddrew]

Or if someone can talk me through it like I have never done it before so maybe I can figure out what I have been doing wrong, that would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wonderful!!!!

I have a brother machine so it would need to be saved in PES format if that helps. I have just been picking one of the brother vertical hoops that is around the 5x7 size since they don't list the PE770 in there.
