s. I can so relate to the house and the crabby small person, we've been doing the tantrum thing and the completely destroyed house thing here as well. I'm sorry that things are so tough right now, it's hard when your spouse is away as well, I'm not sure how my mom did it (dad was Army) when he was gone. 
She had a hard time with the instructions too so I 'm glad it wasn't just me! The part that was giving us fits was the front wear the buttons are the rest was pretty easy and straight forward. Although my grammy commented a few times "why does it say to do it that way, That's not the way I do it." So I'm glad I asked for help and since I was already there and made use of the serger and got some more done on the "other" projects that have been started on but not yet finished. 
I love it - you and grammie did a great job - I must say though sometimes patterns are confusing and several times I have done it my way instead of there way.Well I ended up at my grammies again today as the romper was more difficult then I had thought it would be, plus she has that really cool janome machine that sews the buttons on for you
So here is sophia in her brand new seersucker romper:
Hi - I work in a children's hospital, and very closely with speech therapists. 2 1/2 year olds are famous for stuttering - its very developmental at this age because their world has just opened up and their vocabulary has grown tremendously - speaking is one of the finest of fine motor skills that we develop so the lips, tongue, jaw have trouble staying coordinated when the words come so quickly!!! Just be patient and encourage/allow her to take her time - I hear them say "use your turtle talk" with some of the older children who stutter - maybe that would work?????
My 5yo niece just had to get a 2nd set of tubes. She had them at 1 1/2 and they fell out about a year later - she went ear infection free until last summer - then she had a few. But, when I was spending a weekend with them in January ( our hubbies were away ) we started noticing things like she thought the phone didnt work when she held it up to her left year - and she thought my ipod earphone didnt work in the left ear - and she wouldnt always respond if you spoke quietly - and she said WHAT? constantly - so, after a hearing test by an audiologist confirmed hearing loss and a trip to the ENT we discovered that the fluid in her ears, all though not infected, was very viscous and the poor girl couldnt hear through all that gook!!!! So, a new set of tubes and the world is beautiful again!! She hears everything now and feels GREAT!!!!!!
When I have done those I have used heat n' bond most of the time and you can zigzag or straight stich depending on how you want it to look. Whe I haven't used heat n' bond it was for smallish size pieces and straight stiched around it twice. Then I used a pin to pull up the threads and start the fray.
I Love ALL of them- But my favs are the cinderella denim overall fluffy dress and the minnie mouse tulle skirt/outfit. Thanks for telling us how you did the dots- very creative!!I am new here, and love making my DD clothes for Disney. We mostly have gone to DL, but can't wait for our WDW trip....here are some of my creations:
Oh no sorry you didn't get the ticketsI am sitting anxiously at my computer. Mylie Cyrus (not Hannah Montana?) is playing in a town near me on the 4th of July and tickets go on sale on-line in 30 mins. The cheap seats start at only $35 and it includes a great fireworks show! So I'm sure the website will crash and I will totally not get tixbut hey, I have to try right? I just really need a Diet Pepsi right now and I'm all out
and I don't even dare leave my computer to go to the store (but even if I did dare, I couldn't, Lily is sleeping). Wish me luck! I REALLY need it!
I hate when you're almost there and you start to think you're really going to get something then at the last minute I know you'll have a great 4th anyway! 
I'm sure it would have been a great GNO 
I sadly have not really shared anything in a while. I am bust sewing for our trip in 12 days !!!!
Well here is a HSM outfit I made for anastasia and she does not like it at all!! so sad!!!
I was going to wait till we got back to share all the new customs I made for the trip but she does not like. so it is not coming with us - so sad....

Super Cute- Love it!!
[quote="xdanielleax, post: 24251627"]Hey Guys. I just need to vent...I've had just a horrible stressful day. Nothing terrible happened just small things that built up. I think Violette is starting her terrible 2's early because she was just a little meanie today. She had little tantrums all day and when I picked her up to bring her in the room for a nap, she clawed my face really hard. I was so mad and upset that I just put her in the crib and shut the door and let her scream. She takes out all her agression on me and it's really upsetting. DH is deployed to Iraq right now and my sick (mentally,physically)mom lives with me. My house is a wreck! And when I say wreck, I mean it. I don't have any clean dishes, there are toys, paper, junk, and laundry everywhere. I just feel so overwhelmed and don't know where to start. It's just not one room, it's the whole house. I wish I could afford to have someone help me organize. My organizational skills are slim to none. DH is the neater one. I just love coming on this board. Everyone is so nice and helpful and it brightens my day to come here. So, I'm sorry I've blabbered out. Just had to let it out.[/QUOTE]
:hug: We're here for ya!! It won't this way forever!! Just remember you have the horrible 4's to look forward to- you know when they sneak in the kitchen and start eating sugar first thing in the morning :rotfl2:
Then there is also the way they look when they are sleeping like little :angel: And the I love mommie paintings and snuggle times and funny dances and prononciations (sp?) When the crankies are coming on- Just say to yourself "this to shall pass"
This is so cute. I wish mine would still wear a romperWell I ended up at my grammies again today as the romper was more difficult then I had thought it would be, plus she has that really cool janome machine that sews the buttons on for you
So here is sophia in her brand new seersucker romper:
Sorry the color is bad I took the picture with my phone
And here is the back:
And when we got home I took another picture- And she would not "pose" unless she could hold the phone since I had previously used the phone to take the picture
And yes that is her "art work" on the wall behind her
I think the apron dress and pants will be done tomorrow- dh & ds & dh's dad are going to the sportsman show so I will have some time to sew while dd is napping!!
Well I better start reading- see what eveyones been upto today
And Teresa- Thanks again for the bookmarks- I used them a ton in the last couple days!!
. I love that pic with the cell phone. My Jenna is a cell phone freak too.I do the same.
Give me a couple of days. A very different Pirate dress is next on my to do pile.
(and I lost my instruction manual for my machine!) .

I hope today finds you better! I know that things have to be real hard on you and you know...it will get better! My DS4 waited on his terrible 2's until he was 3 1/2. He has put more scratches on me than I can recall...and he his HYPER!!! My DH is here, so I don't have that stress, but I do have a FIL living with us. He his sick and can be very hurtful to me in the things he says and does. It only adds to the stress of life. Sometimes, I have to get away from it all...go to the park with your little one and just listen to the outdoors! It helps me get back in the right frame of mind somedays. ...these guys have helped me more than they could ever know! It is weird, but it feels like I have somewhere to go to share and not feel alone in the mess around me! 
Awww, shucks...we love you too!And you guys have to know, I love you all DEARLY to share that with you because, as you know, we DO NOT speak of it....EVER!!!!!
I am new here, and love making my DD clothes for Disney. We mostly have gone to DL, but can't wait for our WDW trip....here are some of my creations:

We've ALL been there! These days just drive you nuts, but it will get better! I feel for you having your mother living with you, your husband overseas, and a toddler to deal with. Hope things are looking up today. 
Anna, this is adorable!!!! I just love the picture of her on the phone. That is so sweet! Sawyer likes it too! He keeps point to the screen and saying "oooohhh"
This board is addicting..............
Once upon a time I was content occassionally making Halloween costumes for my dds. Then we planned this trip to DW and I thought about making them the princess dresses (Belle and Snow White). Then I saw the cute Mickely ears shirts and had to do those. Now I am making them another outfit for Disney. I got the top almost done for older dd yesterday, just have to do the hem and capri pants. Oh, it has buttons. I've never done buttons before
