OH and I have to make her an ariel outfit for her Mermaid (NOT lil' mermaid) birthday. Hoping to get a weeki wachee mermaid to the house for the party, I know a few-lucky me, just don't know if they can get out of the park w/ their tails!
...t.
I am so jealous!! I was hoping to get to Weeki Wachee this year, but we didn't make it! We were SOOOOO close too! We drove to Crystal River to put flowers on my SIL's Mom's grave. Long story, but my SIL has never been to the cemetery, so every year we drive over and try to tidy it up a bit for her and put flowers out there. On the way, we kept seeing Weeki Wachee signs and I thought about you T.
2. Can some one explain what the appliques are and how to do them. If this has been explained several times I apologize

I am new to the thread and have not been able to read the whole thing.
Thanks for the help.
Heather wrote a fantastic tutorial that is in my bookmarks.
Just thought I would post real quick. We made it to WDW just fine. I did get a call on the drive over from my grandpa. He told me one of cousins had died in a car accident. He is only one year younger than me so that was hard. I wanted to turn around, but pawpaw said no that that is not what Josh would want. I was trying to be strong, but when DH and Jenna fell asleep I couldn't hold back. The song Arms of the Angels came on the radio and that was all it took.
I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. That had to be so hard for you to learn about that on your way to Disney.

I hope your vacation is extra magical.
I got the sewing machine out today. I am going to buy a pattern and darn it I'm going to make something!!
any suggestions for something simple and dope proof?
on another note...
There is a bad man who has an adult grandsom who lives down the street from us. This man is very large and very tall. He verbally assaulted me once (meaning he started yelling and advancing towards me in a very scary way) when I was walking my puppy and accused me of letting my dog go potty in his grandson's yard...which we do not do...I know who does though...*cough*HISnextdoorneighborlady*cough*...anyhow...he's very menacing and he scares me. Jay went out and *asked him nicely* to keep his body and his nasty language away from me from now on (love my man!

)...So today this man is walking up and down the sidewalk in front of our house. I don't know why. He keeps stopping and looking at my door and then starts pacing again. Jay is not home and I'm afraid to go outside. I'm not very big and neither is my puppy.
He's not doing anything illegal really. If I call the police it will cause massive bad neighbor relations and we have to live here at least six more months to a year. (wretched housing market!)
Part of me wants to open the door and tell him that he is scaring me and to please stop pacing in front of my house.
It bugs me being afraid of this man. But he's scary.
ick. what I hate is being afraid in my own house.
grrrr.
just thought I'd share. now I feel better.
That is so scary!

I am glad that you called the police and they took you seriously!
I absolutely love all of your creations! I have tried to copy some of the creations but you are all much better at this than I am. I can't wait to look everyday to see what is new. I will post pictures when I am allowed to.
You only need one more post!
...WELCOME HOME TERESA JOY AND HEATHER SUE!!!!!
I am sure you all are trying to catch up on some much needed sleep and then digging out from under Mt McLaundry...
side effects from a Disney Trip! Can't wait to see and hear all about your trip!!!!!
Awww, thanks!!!!! We got home last night, around 11:30. And, yep I have a ton of laundry to do! Heather had a washer where she was, so she's probably all caught up allready!
Oh, wait here is Megan (and Scrappy):
Stephanie, that is perfect!!! I love it!!! Hi Megan!!!
ARE THE SISTERS HOME?! Where MY GIRLZ AT?!
We are home!!! I thought about you on the plane ride home Miss Cammie!! It was a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY bumpy (frighting) flight!!! I said a prayer at take off, and many many more during the flight!!! And, I thought to myself, "Boy, I hope MissCammie lit some candles for this one!!" Lydia though, thought it was great fun!! She kept saying "WHEEE WHEEE WHEE!!!" as the plane dipped and dropped and tilted from side to side. (when you enter the plane and there is only ONE barf bag leftover in the entire row, it's a bad sign) while I had a death grip on the armrest, trying to plaster a fake smile onto my face (I didn't succeed!) Everyone on the plane clapped when we FINALLY landed!
Now, you guys have to pretend you didn't read that allready when you read my trip report, ok?
"Big Give" Possibility/Opportunity!!!!
Hey did any of you watch Oprah's BIG GIVE when it was on? I thought it was a rather inspiring show, I really enjoyed it. I have an idea on how we might be able to help an old DisBoutiquer who lost her sweet baby boy in a tragic car accident last October. I haven't brought this up to her yet because I don't know if anyone will be interested in helping or not. I have never met this person in real life, as she is an online friend, but she is the sweetest and bravest person I know. She has been through a lot and I just wanna help anyway I can. She has an adorable 5 year old little girl and they are planning a trip to WDW in few months. I am hoping I can talk some of you into donating a Disney themed outfit for her little girl. What do you guys think?? Can we "GIVE BIG"????
(Like I said, I have not mentioned this to her yet as I wanted to see if any of you would be willing to help first. Please PM me if you are interested in this possibilty. If I get some takers I will talk to her and make sure it is okay with her and then get her daughters measurements. I am planning on making her a few things. Maybe some of you have some gently used Disney customs that are just her daughter's size???)
P.S. If this is not okay to post, I apologize. Let me know and I will remove it. Thank you all!!!!
Beth that sounds like a great idea.

She use to post here sometimes. She made some amazing outfits by hand (she didn't have a sewing machine). I would love to participate. Hearing about her little boy just broke my heart, he was quite close in age to Sawyer, I can't imagine the heartache.
