I have finally finished something new:
This is my first ever attempt at applique (albeit a pathetic one):
I figured on DD wearing this over a white top, with white tights as it is still way too cold here
Geesh those moms are a lot crazier than out gym. though one parent was banned for her bad behavior. They basically fired 3 of the coaches 7 weeks before nationals and these parents were crazy upset! yelling at the owner fo the gym. whom I met for the first time in over a year at the gym!YIKES!!! I coach competitive cheer squads and the other coaches and I had to put a stop to parents coming in to practice at all! It was the little girls' idea actually. It was too distracting for them. Two mothers actually got into a fist fight in the parking lot.Their little girls were clinging to each other, screaming at their mom's to STOP fighting. It was SO awful. Once we put a stop to parents coming in, the girls started to have fun again. For awhile there, almost the entire squad came to practice in TEARS b/c of the "pep talks" they had gotten from parents before hand. The kids would stand on the floor petrified, looking at their moms and not the coaches. It got to be a safety issue.
I'm sorry your little girl has been a target for an unhappy mom. Being talented can bring ugly comments. Tell her to keep shining!!
These moms need to take up sewing...and Dis-ing...maybe they'd calm down some!

Our gym will have all of the parents come in on the practice before a competition so we can watch the routine before it hits the floor. We are also allowed to come in and watch the first practice of each month. So it works.Sadly, it's this way with boys' sports too. I love my son's competitive soccer team, but the parents: sheesh!Why do some parents take their kids' sports so seriously?
Cameron is moving from coach pitch to kid pitch in baseball and from flag to tackle in football. It should be fun. As a former competitive and HS cheer coach (in Ohio-near you) I can telly ou, no matter how much a coach tries to avoid there being any drama, oh man! It is always in the girls and parents. I must admit, this is one of the reasons I am not coaching right now. I love it, but I needed a break. Maybe I will return some day, but for now, I SO enjoy the no Cheer mom and girls drama LOLBut, I must say, I did have some fantastic girls and parents that have become great friends of mine.
But, I will tell you, take the drama with a grain of salt. When she is done with it all, you will look back and laugh your rear off!!
It was as sad night here!
know it did thatHere is a laugh for the day.
Months ago I bough about 50 spools of thread from voldermart . They were the tall thin ones. I loved all the colors but hated using them because the silver spindle thing on my sewing machine was to short for it. I had to stop ever few stitches and loosen the thread (Ok I am sure you know where this is going).
So last night I was using a spool and was thinking would it be great is this spindle was taller so the tall thread would fit right? So I pull up it and bamm!!!! It does go taller
I cant believe I went all of these months and didn't
I needed a good laugh this morning! This reminds me of the time my husband tried to use sewing sissors of mine. could not get them to work. well the lock was on!!!!!!!! I think this is great. I love the more simple styles. That applique looks wonderful too. I'm afraid to try
That's really cute and I think you did a super job for your first applique.
That is funny. I do stuff like that all the time. I can't remember what I was messing with, but I found that it did something cool so I told DH and asked him did you know that it did this and he was like "Yeah, you should read the manual."Here is a laugh for the day.

That's funny...well actually it's not funny...but I had to laugh anyway. It sounds like something I would do.
called the Disboutiquers. I wanted to start a sewing group for a while, that was Disney related and not entirely based on sewing ability. If anyone is interested in joining, PM me. Thanks!

)In response to all of the gym stories. We have coaches that must be totally not interested in teaching. My dd does gymnastics and has the potential to be really good. The coaches arrive to the gym and teach in low rise jeans, that they constantly have to pull up, due to the fact they are very overweight, (not unlike me, but I'm not trying to coach) they can't show the girls what is expected of them, because I seriously don't think they can even do any of those moves anymore. It's kind of funny actually, but my dd learns best by watching the bigger girls. I'm leaving her with this gym for a few more months, and in August, she is getting a private trainer, who is actually athletic...
These pics are so cute.BTW - If anyone's intrested, I updated my TR. Here's a peek...
Here is what I made while the monkey was at school. She said she hates it because it has buttons. I offered to send it to one of our little online friends who might appreciate it and then she said she would keep it. Whew!
This set is the first from my "OK to Wear Every Day Collection"
Attention all Sewers!!
I just wanted to let you all know that I started a group on

I've seen this top done by a few people lately - what's the pattern? I love it Must make!
I really want to make DD something Peter Pan for our next trip (end of this month!). But she's a unique spirit, and her favorite part of the movie is the crocodile doing silly things! What can I do? I can find a few cute pictues of Tick Tock, but can't figure out how it's going to look "Disney" without a whole lot more applique! Any good ideas?
Deb
