[erikawolf2004]

I haven't been on here in a while...but now we have another trip planned for June that I have started on I miss all of you when I'm away, but I spend way too much time on the computer!!!!

.

I finished another Grinch Skirt...decided to try something with ruffles instead of tiers this time.

I want one in my size. That is adorable. Did you use a pattern?[/QUOTE]

This is sooo cute, love the ribbon/bow details!

[quote="VBAndrea, post: 43296222"]Since it's almost Thanksgiving, I thought it a fine time to share Halloween photos. Here you go .....

These are amazing!!!!

And since I was taking pics, this is a shirt I did ages ago -- maybe in May or June. It is a fill design and took about three hours to do. I have two or three more large fill trains to do, but time is not on my side!

This is really cool, reminds me of the Polar Express.


Disneymomto1, I loved all of your outfits for your trip!!! I love Disney at Christmas!!


And those Bat Mitzpha(sp) items are really beautiful!!!!

It is always so fun to see everyone's beautiful handy work....I have been away for far too long!!!

My little guy fell asleep on the way home so speech is cancelled. I am going to go and work on a few projects while he is asleep.

Just heard a few minutes ago from my daughter. DSIL was declared cancer free for FIVE years. He is now considered cured!

They have been hesitant about starting a family with the threat of the cancer returning looming over their heads.

I'm hoping this means we can start to expect a grand child soon! Or at least start seriously planning one!

Can't wait for them to get back from Birmingham from the doctor's appointment!

I'm with everyone else, I so don't think that you were trying to copy another small business lady. I do think you were both copying and then improving upon the Vera Bradley hipster, but I'm OK with that. Most, if not all patterns out there in cyber world are copies of something somewhere.

That is so true. I work in retail, and you can see how all the "cheap" brands copy off of the designers. Have you ever seen the fashion shows after the Oscars, where these companies hurry up and come out with a style matching the one on the red carpet? I usually see it on the View.

LOL...since we are going to Disney right after Thanksgiving...I'm guessing it will be more like a few days after Thanksgiving before a new baby will make its appearance!

Seeing things twice is fine, better than missing something.

super cute stuff. Phalen has a 'I need to hold my breath, these pants are too tight' face going on. Are you sure he's not modelling Finn's?

That's his "I keep dancing and laughing while you're trying to take a picture with the phone" face

No sewing at the machine for me the past few days. Life has been a whirl-wind. Poor DS has been rather sick (first fever and then after that he got a rash....needless to say I won't be going to church in the morning). I was able to work on a bib for my nephew for Thanksgiving. I had purchased it at Target for 50¢. I hand embroidered his name on there and then switched out the cheapy velcro closure for a snap. I think it turned out rather cute.

Close up of the embroidery.....not too bad for free handing it.

The other thing I've started working on (or rather helping DDs 8 & 5 work on) is some felt ornaments they will be giving away as Christmas presents. This is their first time doing any kind of embroidery (or needlework for that matter) and I think they are doing a fantastic job. I am one proud mama!

I am sorry to hear that your son has been sick. That's a cute bib! Your children did a wonderful job on those ornaments. You should be proud!

Here are a couple of things that I worked on this week:

Also, I mentioned these earlier this week so I thought I'd post pictures. These are the tallis and kippah sets that I made my daughters for their bat mitzvah. I still have the tie the fringe onto the corners but I'll do that like a month or so before their bat mitzvah. I made these a while ago but I never posted them on here.

Cute shirts! The bar mitzvah set look beautiful! I really like the detailing in the embroidery. Great job!

I will probably delete this before I let it actually post...but here goes.

Eleven years ago I had my first cancer scare. After not going to the gyn for over 18 years, I went in for some problems and they found some 'abnormal' cells. After a partial biopsy they decided it was cancerous cells, and I had a complete hysterectomy. Everything was taken out...including my cervix. As it turned out the uterus was only pre-cancerous, but the cervix was cancerous...opposite of what the doctor thought.

Then a couple years later, I had a breast cancer scare. A mammogram found some suspicious areas, three other super mammograms later I had a lumpectomy and biopsy. (it actually wasn't a lumpectomy, because there was no lump.) The doctor told me I would have a quarter inch scar...he uses a different ruler than I do...it is a good two inches. Just prior to the surgery we had already talked about my options. Because of what they suspected I would have a radical double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. That surgery was already scheduled even before the biopsy.

Test results came back sort of negative, so, other than mammograms every 6 months for three years, no further treatments needed.

A few months ago, I started having 'itchies' in the area where the scar is. Not on the skin, but deep under the skin. Not the type where you could actually scratch. This has been eight years since the surgery, so I am assuming that any itchiness from the surgery would have been long gone.

Today, I decided to do some research...and now I am a bit scared. It seems that this is a symptom of Inflammatory Breast Cancer (which is what they thought I had 8 years ago). But I don't have any of the other symptoms. No change in size (except that after the surgery I was a cup smaller on that size...and still am) no rash...nothing else.

I tend to be a worry wart anyway, and ignore my own health (hence the reason I had not gone to the gyn in 18 years...no need to!).

Now that I have written it all down, I am feeling rather silly. I mean, I don't think I am a hypochondriac, but it sure reads that way to me!

Maybe I'll post this anyway, so everyone can have a good laugh at me!

Nini

Nini, no one here is going to laugh at you. Please go and check with a doctor so you can have the peace of mind (if it is nothing) or have the appropriate treatment (if it is something).

Hi Everyone, I have not posted in ages, but we just returned from a fantastic week at WDW.

Here is our Chef Mickey/Magic Kingdom outfit. Another one of my favorites.
I will continue in the next post !!!

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I like this set the best!

Since it's almost Thanksgiving, I thought it a fine time to share Halloween photos. Here you go .....

I also have detailing on the backs, but didn't photograph those.

Wow wow wow! How many hours did you spend on that? They look amazing!

And since I was taking pics, this is a shirt I did ages ago -- maybe in May or June. It is a fill design and took about three hours to do. I have two or three more large fill trains to do, but time is not on my side!

3 hours?! I guess that's why we all like applique!

Looking for help with BOLT.

Has anyone done any Bolt clothes? Would love some ideas/inspiration. Is there any Bolt fabric that I have missed??? My DD would love a Bolt dress!!! Our dogs middle name is even Bolt she loves Bolt so much

Thank you for any help you can provide!!!

Warmly, Erika

Sorry I do not have any suggestions for you. I didn't see any Bolt fabric at all in my travels.

I posted on Facebook, so I apologize for those of you seeing this twice!

I am halfway done with my four Epcot Mickey Head shirts! I'm giving up for tonight because I need to re-stablize Finn's shirt and after I finish the tiny bit on his shirt, I still have my shirt & DH's to go around the Mickey Hat part in black - and my back wants a break

But - here's Phalen's all done!

I also finished their Cars Easy Fit Jeans today -
Phalen's (front):

(back):

Finn's (this is when I realized DH had put them on him backwards ):

(front):

(back):

I'm getting there! I have two pieces of Denim Decoupage to do (a skirt and a pair of capris) - but everything is cut and ready.
I have a skirt to add a ruffle to, two pairs of jeans to use some heat n' bond ULTRA on, two pairs of easy fits, a pair of easy fits for me (which I have yet to cut b/c I haven't printed that pattern yet), Tie T-shirts for the boys, 3 plain Mickey Heads to applique to shirts, and 3 "vintage mickey" applique shirts to make. Not bad, right?

Great job on the Epcot ball! The pants are cute. I hope your family will have lots of fun when you are away!

And I don't have time to multi-quote this morning...

First of all... Thank you everyone for your kind words about my bag... I really felt awful, but I really appreciate that all of you were so understanding. It means more to me than you know.

D~ <--- who hopes she didn't miss anyone...

D~ - I meant to say something too. I never would in a million years thought you copied someone else's design. Honestly, there are only so many ways to do crossbody bag, you know. I was actually thinking that it was a case of "great minds think alike."

Hi Everyone!!!

Okay - here is our girl Lindsay - Im posting her now, so you can be thinking over the weekend and during any Black Friday shopping. There are alot of special and fun things to do for her since she is a teen. She LOVES pj pants and tshirts! Loves photography, scrapbooking and baking! She is a preppy girl, and loves the traditional Mickey and Pooh charaters as well as some Lilo and Stitch, Harry Potter and Tink and the Fairies!!!!

Also, if you could please go to their PTR and just say Hi to them and help them get excited about their trip. Mom had kind of let it go since no one was really following it!
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2725867

She looks just like a typical teenage girl - yet she is in so much pain and this disease is just dabilitating her! We have the power to cheer her up!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for helping her, even at this busy time of year!! Even if you dont want to sew, how about sending her some scrapbooking supplies or hair bows or a fleece blanket? Please consider helping Lindsay - and if you have any teens at home, maybe they could help you pick some things out!!!!

Thanks for getting this latest Give up and running Wendy.

I love the turkey shirts, but those shawls are stunning! May I ask what the Hebrew says?

As everyone else already said - get thee to a doctor forthwith! Your family needs you worry-free and healthy!

Hi Everyone, I have not posted in ages, but we just returned from a fantastic week at WDW. We had great weather and believe it or not I did let my DH relax, we spent nearly every afternoon at the pool. I had made my DD skirts and T's and then about a week before the trip she asked if I was going to make her any dressesso I quickly made a christmas dress for MVMCP.

This obviously was her Epcot outfit and my personal fave !!

Here is our Chef Mickey/Magic Kingdom outfit. Another one of my favorites.
I will continue in the next post !!!]

Thanks for sharing your photos! These two outfits are my favorite! May I CASE those skirts? So cute. And your dd has the most beautiful eyes and smile! She is very photogenic!

Since it's almost Thanksgiving, I thought it a fine time to share Halloween photos. Here you go .....

http://www.costumersguide.com/pepper/p3.jpg
Not sure if that will work -- but this way you can compare my work to the authentic costumes. I also have detailing on the backs, but didn't photograph those.

A.Maz.Ing Those are incredible! The detail is just...wow!

BTW, the lady who runs Costumer's Guide is an acquaintance of mine from Star Wars costuming. You should send her copies of your photos for her site! She's a HUGE Beatles fan!

(I'm embarrassed to admit that I was expecting to see the costumes from the Bee Gee's Sgt. Pepper album. I have no idea why I get those confused!)

I am halfway done with my four Epcot Mickey Head shirts! I'm giving up for tonight because I need to re-stablize Finn's shirt and after I finish the tiny bit on his shirt, I still have my shirt & DH's to go around the Mickey Hat part in black - and my back wants a break

But - here's Phalen's all done!

Great job on everything! The boys are going to be stylin'! Good luck with the rest of your To-Do list!

Just heard a few minutes ago from my daughter. DSIL was declared cancer free for FIVE years. He is now considered cured.
Nini

Wow! That's wonderful news! You truly have something to be thankful for this year! (Now, get to the doctor so you have two things! )



So, after several votes in favor, I decided to go for the Robin Hood and Maid Marian shirts for my sister's kids. I almost regretted it when I looked at the stitch chart for Marian - time consuming! (Heather - when you have some free time, how about doing some lesser known characters for us!!)

And, last night, it occurred to me that I should make the same shirts for all the grandkids and my parents - so, 7 Robins and 6 Marians. No, the machine will not be leaving with my mom after all. Dh is going to kill me!

He will also try again when he finds out I bought 4.5 yards of this tonight for our next trip, whenever that might be. But, who can resist Mickey fabric at 60% off!

December suddenly got busy, so back to work I go!
Regards,
C.

 

[mphalens]

I knocked a couple more things off my "to do" list tonight!

I finished all four of our Epcot Mickey shirts and both of the boys Comic Strip Mickey Easy Fits! I also cut out parts of one of my last appliques and worked on my Figment skirt.

Finn & DH modeled their shirts for me

Excuse DH - he did NOT want his picture taken and it's Monday so he's scruffy

Here's a pic of Finn's easy fits too:

The Hebrew has the blessing that says "Blessed are You, G-d, Ruler of the Universe, who has commanded us with the Divine Commandments to wrap oneself with tallit."

I bought some of that same Mickey fabric for the last Big Give. I have about 1/2 yard left. I am sure it will come in handy for another big give at some point.

Yay for keeping the machine... Anyone want to drop their machine off for me to use for a while??? I know a lot of you don't use your embroidery machines on a daily basis - I would only need it for a year or two.

And this is one of my fav holiday fabrics - I don't own any of it though...

CUTE! I already commented in your PTR... but, you know me, I don't mind commenting again.

You're lucky your DH even posed for you... My DH would never pose - and he, for sure, would never wear a shirt I made for him - I don't think - I guess I've never attempted.

Doin' the "5 Day Dance" with you!!!

Just heard a few minutes ago from my daughter. DSIL was declared cancer free for FIVE years. He is now considered cured!

I'm hoping this means we can start to expect a grand child soon! Or at least start seriously planning one!

Can't wait for them to get back from Birmingham from the doctor's appointment!

Nini

Congratulations and what a wonderful relief for your family. I hope they begin a family soon - how fun!!

That Mickey Christmas Fabric is one of my favorite I used it on last years skirt that I am thinking of adding top stitching it. It is one of the skirts I made.

I used it for Barbara's auction.

 

[Meshell2002]

Marianne-- yeah for progress! it all looks great.

Nini- that's great news! I got my master's (nursing) @ UAB......love Birmingham hospitals. It's a beautiful day to drive today!

Picture day today for DD, then when we get back hoping to finish DS dress shirt so I can start blocking up DD christmas dress (running so behind on this, usually I'm done with christmas before thanksgiving, yikes!)

 

[NiniMorris]

Nini- that's great news! I got my master's (nursing) @ UAB......love Birmingham hospitals. It's a beautiful day to drive today!

Maybe not such a good day for a drive...they had to wait an additional two hours at his cardiologist's appointment (he was born with a serious heart condition that required two open heart surgeries...first one at two days old) so they ended up not getting home until after midnight. She said the traffic was terrible all the way home.

I didn't expect the traffic to get bad until tonight...guess I was wrong!

I agree with what everyone else has said. Just mention it to your DR. and go from there. I have a friend that was complaining that she wasn't feeling right and the more she worried the worse she felt until she went to the doctor. Luckily everything turned out OK and I think alot of her symptoms were stress related but I think it is always better to get a professional opinion than reading it on the internet.

DS3 just saw the photo and said he wants a Polar Express shirt.
But WOW 3hrs is a long time but it came out beautiful

I haven't been on here in a while...but now we have another trip planned for June that I have started on I miss all of you when I'm away, but I spend way too much time on the computer!!!!

When are you going? We will be down there from 6/23-7/6.

WOW 60% off on that fabric. I bought the rest they had at my Joanne's but I think I only got 30%off.
Yeah for keeping the machine longer. I was wondering how you were going to be able to return it

Sorry about the late appt, glad everyone got home safe. I-65 can be a parking lot at times....I"m sure the other I's are the same way....especially rush hr on a non-holiday week. When I had an 8am class I always had to leave by 6am, even though I'm only 80 miles from B'Ham...the am traffic is that bad....and if my class got out at 4pm...I got home at 630 or 7pm. They don't have enough lanes to accomodate the amount of traffic, and over the yrs its gotten worse.

Still great news

 

[dianemom2]

Everything looks wonderful.
Did you ever get enough of that fabric for the tables clothes? I remember you were looking for some but can't remember if you had enough.

Yes, thanks to one of our Disboutiquer friends, NaeNae. She helped me find the exact fabric I was looking for. A very nice manager at her store gave her a list of about 20 stores that still had the fabric in stock. So that night I got on the phone and started calling all the stores. I managed to get just enough fabric by ordering from several stores. A nice bonus was that the fabric ended up being on clearance for $1 per yard. I spent almost as much on the shipping as on the fabric but I was so happy to find it. The table clothes are all finished and put away for the big event. My husband spent all summer laughing at me because I also made all the centerpieces while the kids were at summer camp. He thinks that I am very funny because I have the table clothes, centerpieces, tallitot (plural of tallit) and kippahs finished but it is still 18 months until their bat mitzvah. I have always been a planner and I LOVE doing this kind of stuff!

$1/yard was a great price. I enjoy hearing stories of how Disboutiquers helping each other out. I am a planner too, but not as nearly organized as you are!
