A Mickey curtain I found at Savers for $1.99 - I'm going to cut them out and use them for appliques! I also scored 2 brand new Anakin Skywalker (little Anakin) pillowcases for $1.99 each!!!

Adorable ranch kids themed fabric - I'm using it for MBYBBQ

Tigger Flannel (on clearance at Joann's!!!)

And Flags of the World CHRISTMAS fabric!

And my buttonhole attachment (it is in MINT condition!!!)

great fabric finds but i dearly LOVE the cowboy fabric...so sweet and so many possibilities....i'd love it for a knot dress with cowgirl boots,pigtails and big raggie hair bows!

 

[VBAndrea]

Newbie here, just had to post because I'm excited about what I made for my daughter last night in time for our trip:

Now that I'm hearing it's been so hot, though, I wonder if she'll get a chance to wear them!

Welcome Those are excellent! How old is your dd?

AWESOME!!!!
I keep meaning to tell you - Just Fabrics in RI (yes, I know you aren't there, but I also know she'll ship at a reasonable price) has LOTS of the different Beatles fabrics if you need any more . . .

So - I'm home from my weekend trip to RI. I saw my best friend marry the perfect girl for him and I wouldn't trade that for the world, but man! do I want my voice back! My fall allergies that I always had when I lived in RI attacked and my voice is GONE. It is NOT fun to go to a wedding and see people you haven't seen in 12 years and not be able to talk. BUT! I DID get to meet Michelle and we had a fabulous time at Joann's before my voice was completely gone! I scored some great fabrics while I was there and when I went to Just Fabrics AND my mom & I hit the sewing machine/embroidery machine place and they had a buttonhole attachment for my 401a!!!! Happy Dance City, let me tell you!

I'll post pics of the fabrics . . . but I think I'm at or over my limit here . . .

You told me she had fabrics, but I wouldn't have had time to get them shipped b/f I made these outfits so I bought the only Beatles fabric I have ever seen and snatched up the last 1.5 yds of it (I have some left over though). I should order at least two yrds of everything from Just Fabrics though b/c my kids are so into the Beatles that I know they would love more outfits. Never mind I'm not allowed to buy more fabric! I was thankful to find the embroidery designs -- very hard to find since they are likely illegal! THey didn't stitch out the greatest, but they are acceptable.

Sorry you were sick for the wedding. My voice is lost now too, but I think it's a normal illness rather than allergies b/c dh is sick too and he doesn't get allergies.

Great scores -- the curtain is my favorite b/c it's so different and has a full body Mickey which I like. I had some of the navy blue with fabric with Mickey on it and since I started doing BG's I wish I had bought a lot extra.

You were my first DISMeet It was fun shopping with you even though you were an enabler to my fabric hoarding

I would love to see pics of your machine too.

Fabric hoarding??? That is not allowed! I resisted half price clearance fabric at Joann's yesterday (though it really was calling my name!).

Crazy question, but did someone here say that are an eye doctor? I have a question that I would like to ask regarding my newborn grandson, and wondering if anyone here would know?

I am an optometrist so pm me if you wish. We don't see infants in our practice, but hopefully I will be able to you out.

 

[cogero]

Okay I am up way to early and should be working out but I am sitting here searching for appliques for Christmas presents instead.

 

[babynala]

If you heard a little scream coming from half way between Atlanta and Athens about an hour ago...don't worry...it was just me. After I finished piecing two king size quilts for Christmas presents, my oldest daughter informs me that she wants a quilt in different colors!

I don't have the time or money to get more fabric and piece another quilt...not by Dec 10!

Nini

Yikes. I think I would let her know that when she opens your gift she should say "thanks mom, its just what I wanted" and hope that next year you are nice enough to make another quilt for her (in the colors she wants).

AWESOME!!!!

Sounds like you had fun at the wedding but what a bummer that your allergies were acting up. Looks like you and Michelle had a successful shopping trip and I love all your fabrics, especially the little kids on the ranch fabric - too cute. Great score on the buttonhole attachment.

GrammytoMany - those matching dresses are so cute and they look so comfy. Love all the shades of purple.

DisneyJazz - hope you can get out of your rut. Maybe you could sew something for yourself so you can have some me time and something for just you. Glad to hear that everything is going well with Brendi. How exciting to be thinking about names, I'm no help with names. We picked our kids names in the hospital, after they were born.

D~ your machine looks great, I'm sure he is feeling the love and will be making perfect zig zags very soon.

 

[mphalens]

Love the ranch kids fabric - that is the sweetest! And so perfect for the MBYBBQ!

And - that buttonholer - AWESOME!!!! I need to learn how to use mine too... You know, Marianne, you've never posted pics of your machine either, come to think of it. It would be nice to see what that button holer attaches to... after all, you've been taunting me with that 401 of yours for months now... How do I even know you really have a 401??? Hmmmmm??????

D~

You were my first DISMeet It was fun shopping with you even though you were an enabler to my fabric hoarding

I would love to see pics of your machine too.

I will take pics this afternoon for y'all
If you're REALLY lucky I'll post them too!

great fabric finds but i dearly LOVE the cowboy fabric...so sweet and so many possibilities....i'd love it for a knot dress with cowgirl boots,pigtails and big raggie hair bows!

Hmm - think I can pull off that look? I don't have a little girl to dress up, although I wish I did!

I think I can remember seeing at LEAST 6 different ones - and I know she has lots because they're sort of hidden in a back corner Yup, I am SO not helpful when it comes to NOT buying fabrics! Sorry

I think my favorite might be the Mickey curtain too! I took all the stitches out of it last night and the holes practically disappeared! I'm definitely using two of the Mickeys on the boys park bags. . . have ideas for some others . . .

Those sister dresses are so sweet! Cute taggie blanket! I have to try one of those some day!

Now that I'm hearing it's been so hot, though, I wonder if she'll get a chance to wear them!

Nice job! Are those painted?

Great finds! I love the ranch fabric! I'm always looking for cute cowboy stuff because we are in the heart of cowboy country, lol.

Let us know how the buttonhole attachment works!

 

[cogero]

I am at work and I am a bit bored.

I have a few things I should be doing but nothing I want to do LOL.

Trying to find a couple of videos on my serger since for the life of me I can't get it re-threaded.

 

[connie1042]

Can someone give me a website to buy Mickey Mouse Buttons. I would like the colored ones and some black ones. Thanks.

 

[belle41379]

Ugh! I have been so busy, I STILL haven't made it to look for fabric. Of course, I still don't know what I'm making, so maybe that's not a bad idea!

What are you all making for Christmas/winter trips to the World?

 

[VBAndrea]

Can someone give me a website to buy Mickey Mouse Buttons. I would like the colored ones and some black ones. Thanks.

I would do a search on etsy -- that is the only place I have seen them for sale. You can get some bright colored flat ones in the scrapbook section at Michael's or ACMoore. And then you can misplace them and never use them -- not that I would know

 

[RMAMom]

First of all....to all those that commented on the princess dress and Minnie Vida THANK YOU! I, of course, had a long multi going, then got busy and now it's gone! It's so lovely to see all the wonderful things you guys say. I know we all do this for our love of sewing and our kids, but it is still nice to be acknowledged!



I have the one you are talking about...let me see if I can find where I got it....GOT IT! http://www.swakembroidery.com/info/in-the-hoop/SWAK_ppd_ith_ChristmasAdventCalendar.htm

It is really cute and not difficult. I got about 8-10 numbers done last year and ran our of time (story of my life!). Good luck!

Jessica

Thanks for all the compliments on the outfits. The kids loved them and love wearing them to school now. They are educating all their classmates on who the Beatles are lol! I am not the Beatles fan, dh is, though since having The Beatles rock band on Wii I have grown to appreciate them a little more.

I swore I had some bookmarked, but this is the only one I have and it is not sewing:

I will try a Pinterst search and see if I can come up with any others. BRB......

There are way too many to post -- go on Pinterest and do a serach for "advent" and you'll get a bunch of ideas that pop up. HTH.

Thanks Ladies!
Andrea, I haven't joined pininterest yet, I would like to check it out a little more when I have a minute!

Jessica, Thats the one I was looking for!! Thank you!!!!!

Let me know if you do need anything. I need an excuse to go over there

Well I am better because I wanted to go back on Sunday and use my 25% coupon again

I am an optometrist so pm me if you wish. We don't see infants in our practice, but hopefully I will be able to you out.

I learn something new everyday. I didn't know you were an optomestrist.

ROFL - AAAAnnnnndddddd she loses everything... Is someone due for an exam????


Anyways... Poor Marianne has been kicked out of my PTR for a few days, because I made her an Ultimate Disney Park Bag - and she can't see it until it gets delivered in the mail. Which means I can't post it here either, but I will post the link to my post in my PTR so you all can see it too... (No, Marianne, you can't click on it)

Marianne's bag Enjoy!!!

Hi Everyone - I have some sad news.....One of our little Big Give children, Hannah is not doing well at all. Her latest blog post talks bout the major medications that she is on for pain relief, the oxygen and how mom is just loving her baby as she struggles - and, how much she will miss her Hannah...Mom came to me with one request. She would like to make a book of celebration for Hannah - I think it may be to use as a guest book at her funeral. She would like it to have a minnie mouse type cover (I can get many more details from mom- Carrie). She would like to have the people at her funeral write happy memories about Hannah in it. She is willing to pay, but cant afford much - but will try to raise money if she needs to for one of the disboutiquers/scrapbookers to make this book for her baby. If anyone is willing and able to do this, please pm, facebook or email me and I will connect you with mom. We did her give back in April, and they appreciated it so much - I feel this is an honor that mom has looked to us for help in their time of need....

Hannah is such a cutie pie - please say a prayer for peace for her and her family!!!!!

 

[dianemom2]

D- I love the bag. That is one my favorite characters!

Andrea- I also didn't know you were an optometrist. I am still cracking up about the Mickey buttons!

I finally got to make the chemo caps for my friend. Just in time too. Her hair is starting to fall out and she's coming over tomorrow so that I can shave her head for her. Here are a couple of pictures:

Please excuse the lumpy looking head. I used some cans of diced tomatoes because I was too lazy to go upstairs and get my wig stand.

I made two of each color that I bought:

I still have enough fabric left to make two more of each color. I hope that they fit my friend. I used my measurements but when I was done the hats felt a little snug.

Wendy sending prayers to Hannah and her mom. that is so so heartbreaking.

Prayers being said for this sweet family. I just wanted to offer up that I have some Disney scrapbook supplies that I would send out to somebody if there is somebody who would have the time to make the scrapbook up for Hannah's family. I just do not have the time right now. Thanks for considering.
