I am so far behind. I think that I have 20+ pages to catch up on. I have been so busy with my baby's birthday. I originally planned our trip to be before he turned 3, but had to reschedule. Boo!! Anyway, here are a few pics-

My baby boy, a few minutes old (remember I said he wasn't a cute newborn. . .)

Bruising due to scar tissue and a crazy long c-section (Don't worry Miss Cammie this is very rare!!!)

He turned cute pretty quick (at least to me), he was a few months old here.

And my sweetie this past week

and the reason that I am so far behind

Off to catch up. Love everything I have seen so far.

I love the simply sweet top. I use a LIGHT underlining ie light muslin ect. It cuts down on the bulkyness. If I am using a particulary bulky fabric I skip it. I kinda like that it has some substance to it.


On another note I just had to share that my DD wore one of my creations to a birthday party for my cousin's child today. It was the frist time she had worn something I had made anwhere other than walmart ect. I got a lot of compliments and one girl said "You MADE that I just assumed it came from Tiny Town." which is a local botique. It made me feel good so I just had to share. I was kinda nervous about letting her wear something I made since I'm new at the whole sewing thing.

I used a quilting calico for the lining, a very light panel for the fashion fabric, and a very light muslin for the inter lining. I think I'll like it more tomorrow. My DD who I made if for loves it. My older DD said "WOW" when she saw it on her and my DS even told her he liked it. And I think I'll like it more when I make the capris but I need more fabric.

How cool that people thought you bought your DD's outfit at a botique!

HOW on earth did you make the mickey head on that cake?

HOW on earth did you make the mickey head on that cake?

Styrofoam covered in buttercream, covered in marshmallow fondant (my first time to use this and I LOVED it!)

Ladies you have till tomorrow afternoon to send me pms on the princess fabric. I will be drawing around 4 or so because I AM taking a nap tomorrow DH has agreed I need one lmao.'

We saw our four year old today and I showed her the pattern. She just lit up! I may actually have a girly girl! I cannot wait lol. I bought a few more sets to send to her she is supposed to do 7 for me the first time.

this is the frog outfit I got at Walmart the green will be the pants and the bodice the rest is strips.

the top of this print I noticed later tonight has that same rainbow stripe ... I am wondering if there is a way to use that for the ruffel? I bought the pink for those and the yellow is the pants and bodice.

The print with the zebras is the bodice and the pant and then the other 2 are strips. I loved the fabric when I saw it not sure why but it was a pain to match.

this is up close of the print.

And this is not going tobe used yet but I bought the Alexander Henry fabric in Dallas a few months ago. I had been looking for it for a year, I saw it on a little girls pirate outfit on ebay they had made a corset out of it and thought it was beautfiul lol. I found the red last night at Walmart it looks just like the red roses on the fabric but smaller. I have no idea what I want to do with it but I was too excited I had to share ... I think I have 6 yards of each. I would love to find some tulle with skulls on it and make a skirt with that tulle sticking out.

I just found a good tutorial for making those juicebox purses. It's got lots of pictures:
http://www.mormonchic.com/crafty/juice-pouch-purse.asp
I missed a couple of pages a while back, so sorry if this was already posted. I added it to the bookmarks (under bags), too.
ETA: I think our LDS buddies will appreciate the name of this site!

Thanks Heather- My husband is "helping me out by drinking some caprisun- Except I forgot to tell him NOT to use the straw-

Thanks for all your help with my tear, I got it fixed and here are some pictures of the finished product

A close up of my correction. I ended up having to all the ribbon because (1) my hand sewing abilities could use a little work and (2) when I was ironing, my iron was too hot and I ended up burning the fabric a little and the ribbon covers up most of it. I'm glad I'm done with this one!!!!!!!

Now, I have to stop sewing and finish scrapbooking some calendars for Mother's Day so I can get those sent out before we leave in 8 days.

Emily

Great fix!! Looks super cute!!

When cutting buttonholes, put a pin at the end of the buttonhole and your seam ripper will not cut beyond that. BTDT too!
How many posts do I need before I can add pictures and do the "quote" thingy??
Sue

My grammy told me about the pin trick!! Works really slick!!

Can I get your opinion? I saw these outfits, well the dress and top at Wallyworld today, and thought they'd be great for the cruise. I bought Lex a white skirt to go with her top, but it was awful, so she has on her white pants for the picture, any way, they looked nice at first, but the more I looked at them, the less I liked them...are they ugly? They still have the tags on, and can go back if needed.

I also wanted to add, that I bought Lexie's outfit big,because she will have grown by then, and if not, I can just take up the straps.
Oh yeah...we got out Kaiya Eve pettiskirt top, the ruffle one today in the mail...wha-hoo!

I think they look cute- I like the pants with it!

Okay so seriously...I would fail the glucose test. I simply can't NOT throw up gag inducing thick liquids...even typing that makes me gag a little bit.

So is this test a MUST? Is there another way to test for it? What would happen if one was going the "totally natural", taking prenatal vitamins and that's IT as far as medical intervention route? I've been reading y'all...I've been reading about how women are CONVINCED that this or that test is "necessary" when really it's just for the doctor to keep his rear covered and his malpractice insurance prices down...so women are told things that are scary sounding and made to feel like they have to submit to unnecessary testing and needle sticks and exams and such.

this freaks me out.

I don't like being fibbed to and I don't like being a pin cushion so the doctor can have lower insurance premiums.

am I just a nut?

I had kidney problems when I was little and i was in and out of hospitals and a total pin cushion for big mean jerk face doctors who would say something wasn't going to hurt and then it DID...just another issue that makes the MissCammie Personality Soup!

Has anyone seen the Ricki Lake documentary "The Business of Being Born"?

I may go the hippie "Don't touch me" route.

I didn't think the glucose stuff was that bad, They had it in fridge so it was cold. I drank it warm the first time around. It is much better cold!! It's like really sugary pop!

All the curly hair and baby pics are super cute- thanks for sharing!!

I am so far behind. I think that I have 20+ pages to catch up on. I have been so busy with my baby's birthday. I originally planned our trip to be before he turned 3, but had to reschedule. Boo!! Anyway, here are a few pics-

My baby boy, a few minutes old (remember I said he wasn't a cute newborn. . .)

Bruising due to scar tissue and a crazy long c-section (Don't worry Miss Cammie this is very rare!!!)

He turned cute pretty quick (at least to me), he was a few months old here.

And my sweetie this past week

and the reason that I am so far behind

Off to catch up. Love everything I have seen so far.

He's beautiful!!! Your cake is fantastic!!

 

[domesticdiva]

I am not crafty with a sewing machine AT ALL, but wondered if there was anyone on this thread that would sew a Minnie costume (just like the ones at Disney) for my 8year old daughter? I would also like to buy a pillowcase dress or two. Any takers or advice as to where I can get this done?

Oh my goodness! You are genious. That cake is awesome. What a lot of hard work.

 

[poohluvrs]

here is the mickey head I used as an appplique template.

If you need help with applique the applique tutorial in a previous post is how I learned. Using good materials (heat and bond LITE is a must) and a stabilizer is the key, plus paying attention to needle position when turning. She explains it really well in the tutorial. I am really flattered that you like it. I am fairly new at sewing too so don't be scared it's not that bad. You just have to take the plunge and try. If you mess up, it's only a little fabric. Recut and try it agian. I got that zebra fabric at Walmart. They had cheetah too.


Thanks so much for the encouragement! I saved the tutorial & got the heat & bond lite but need the fabric & stabilizer, our Walmart is a bit of a ride but I may venture there later!

He is a beautiful baby!!! (And a beautiful BIG BOY!) When I saw that first picture I went into social worker mode without even realizing it and I was trying to identify the nature of the bruises! (hands, object, grade of force etc) I was silently cussing the doctor who had grabbed and handled that poor baby so roughly! Of course then I realized that the nature of the bruises must have been a rough birth!

That cake is PHENOMENAL!!!

awesome job!!

thanks for sharing the pictures!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I bought some of that froggy material with the camo in the background. I didn't get any of the other. I went with coordinating striped material. I have no clue of what I am going to do with it.

 

[Twins+2more]

little one is so so so cute in those piggy tails!!!

I tend to wait for the end of the party for treat bags. It helps ease the *pain* of the party being over...gives the kiddies something to take home and it keeps them from making a mess with whatever is in the bag all over YOUR house!

you are a good person to foster a dog. Poor babies...so many pups out there need help!

I also wait till everyone leaves. My dd personally can say goodbye and give the bag. It assures that everyone gets a thank you from the birthday girl. Also if you have a lot of kids, they will empty the bag and complain I am missing this and thats mine.... you know how that can get.

 

[Twins+2more]

Found this on Isn't it adorable!!The seller says it's a new fabric. Now I have something to look forward to!

That fabric is AWSOME....if anyone finds it please let us know. I love it!

 

[Twins+2more]

okay, now imma share something personal.... cause y'all are my 'puter friends. Those who have been here since the first thread know that my 4 daughters are all adopted (from my husbasnds 5th cousin once removed.) You also know that there are 8 other siblings we do not have. My oldest is 8 and is ADHD, ODD, OCD, bi-polar, depressed with high anxiety, has sensory issues, propreoceptive and vistibular delays and is LD. She is being medicated for the ADHD, and the bi-polar (I know some of you don't believe in medication children - please don't get upset with me untill you've walked a mile in my shoes) If some of you remember me sharing the story of her (around 2 months ago) thinking worms were invading her body. (frequent baths, wash hands 15 tiems a day, change bedding daily, picking skin, pulling out hair - its better, but not gone now.) Well last night the babysitter calls us and tells us that she took a knife and was threatning to kill herself with it. My sitter had to straddle her and pull the knife from her - OFF HER CHEST! We made it home in lightning speed. Anyway....about 3 months ago she was cutting her wrist with sharp pencils (this happened twice in school)...so our counselor has been working with us on everything. We see a counselor every other week, a psycologist once a month or every 2 weeks (depends on how things are going) we also see a ocupational theyrapis every other week, and have a group setting every other week. SO, meds are not alone, we are constantally learning how to deal with thought, emotions, and other ways of coping. I don't want any sympathy, just some prayers. I need to stay strong. It gets so hard. I also have 4 year old twins - one is special needs, and a 7 year old. It is so hard to give them all the time they need when i have my 8 year old needing me also. My Husband travels Monday- Friday and he took a vacation for this week comming up (thank god!) But I swear, Im gonna loose it. Im so sick of crying. My 8 year old says things like "Im going to live with my birth mom" "you don't love me" "call the Police, I hate it here". I've had her since she was 13 months old. It tears me up to hear these things. I just don't know what to do. I walk on pins and needles and try not to set her off. I hate calling my monm and/or sister for support when my husband is out of town, but I do. Please, just pray for me some strength, and pray for my baby to be okay. I don't want to take her to rescue crisis and have her admitted. I know she needs us right now. When she is not haveing an "eppisode" she is such a good kid, and can be so kind and gentle. But anyhow, thanks for letting me talk about this, its so much better when I get it out.
