[t-beri]

Eeyore: The Pooh outfit is just adorable. I think you could do the shorts either way.

Let's see if we can see my ticker now?

GRR...Not yet. I don't think I can fit it all in. flapdoodle!

Mousetriper, I am so excited about this. Tell Alicia that I will put my best into her piece (I am going to try some more detailed appliques on this depending on the theme of the outfit---I assume that you are going to coordinate so she doesn't get similar items) and I send my love to her family.

I hate to critisize, but sent you a pm. Pleae don't be offended, i do want to help. please take this as friendly advice. -Michelle

question for you ebayers. I am trying to get started on selling my stuff on ebay and was hoping for any tips that anyone would be willing to share with little old me. My 1st auction didn't sell but somehow my pics got all distorted so that may have played a factor. I have a couple wthchers on other auctions but no takers yet. Does it just take time to get established or is there something that I am doing wrong? I hope that my stuff is ebay worthy but now I am feeling that ping of rejection. I am hoping to make money for our trip when DH gets home from Iraq because he is super worried about $. SO I figure if I can earn money that we are not counting on then it would make it easier to go. Sorry this is long but I just need some advice and I am feeling lonely today and missing DH. On a side note I found out that he is moving from a pretty safe place to Baghdad and I am less then thrilled. I already am super worried over my bro who is in Ramadi and now I can be super worried about him too. I may be gray by the time they both make it home.

UPDATE ON BIG GIVE!!!!

Okay I just heard back from Alicia and she is overwhelmed by our generosity!!!! She was in tears and could not believe we were going to do this for her daughter. She asked that I pass on her thanks and appreciation to all of you who have so kindly agreed to help!!!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!

Now I am just waiting for a few more bits of information from her and then we can set this plan into ACTION!!!! You guys are truly the best and I just know that this act of kindness is going to make a huge impact on Alicia and Isabelle. They have been through a terrible tragedy and if we can make them smile just a tad then it is so worth it!!!!

THANK YOU AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!!!!!!:

I really wish that I was more advanced to help. But, it is taking me a little longer than I thought it would to make my DD's outfits for our trip. I have 1 top done... I think it's such a wonderful thing you all are doing and I can't wait to see what everyone has made for the little sweetie!

Oh thank you. Okay, I think Ill leave them as "shorts" rather than making them a little like a bloomer, probably get longer wear out of them that way. I would have done the hem on them differently had I left them with just a cuff. Oh well.

HI!
I just found your thread and i was looking through it. I hope you don't mind me crashing the party?

I just had to say the outfits you guys have made your little ones and grandkids are wonderful!!! I love them!

I really need to get my sewing machine fixed! I am having problems with my tension. I have never made my kids clothes but i have made a bunch of American Girl dresses. The 1st one i made happened to be Sleeping beauty's dress. I was so impressed with myself! Little did I know with silky material you have to do something special with the edges. Oh well it looks cute!

I am really tempted to try to make my little girl some cute things. In fact my girlfriend and I were just talking how we need to get together and make our girls some cute summer dresses! She was just saying how she doesn't know any one else who likes to sew until we started talking. We figured it would be so much more fun to let the kids run and play and we can gab and sew some stuff together!

Anyway I just wanted to say Keep up the great work!

lots of pages to catch up on, but here are 2 pics I wanted to post.

Here is DD with our 2 labbies Darby (black) will be 15 in Oct, Jessie (yellow) is 6. DD has a temp and cough and runny nose- PLEEEEEZE be gone by next week!


Here is outfit I finished last night- just have to do waist band.
I was going to run some elastic along the inside edge of yellow trim on shorts to gather it just a bit- but DH (who says he can't "see" things unless its already done) says leave them as shorts- what do you think?
sorry this pic is so crummy but its cold and rainy and my house is a mess at the moment....

These look great! I like the shorts as shorts, and then you don't have as much to do either!

Anyway, thanks so much for the cute idea and I hope you do not mind!

Here is the crying over being a monkey girl instead of Snow White!

This turned out really really cute Aimee!!!

Poor Hannah having to be Monkey girl instead of Snow White though!

Hi, haven't been on here for a long time....just wanted to let anyone know who goes on the Disney Cruise....you know the vests that the waiters wear in Artist Pallete...they start out black and white and then reverse to the colorful Mickey side? They sell that fabric in the gift shop on board! It was in a lot of 5 yards premeasured for $25. It was one of my best finds on my recent cruise.

Happy sewing...haven't been sewing at all lately... bad me. Have to wait for another trip with Makayla!

Susan

Have to mention that I went to the DVC meeting on the ship and my name was drawn and I won $300 ship board credit!!! YEA WOW...I was so excited I scared the guy who was drawing names!

Do you have pictures of the fabric? That sounds really neat! And congratulations on your big win!!!!! We've missed you around here Susan!

a side note I found out that he is moving from a pretty safe place to Baghdad and I am less then thrilled. I already am super worried over my bro who is in Ramadi and now I can be super worried about him too. I may be gray by the time they both make it home.

Hang in there! We'll be praying for his safety and that of your brother.

ETA: I just looked at your completed auctions, and I would say that the problem is with your pictures. They are too small to see. You need nice clear pictures, and lots of them! Show off those creations!

THANK YOU AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!!!!!!:

No Beth, thank YOU! for getting this going!!! I can't wait to get started!!

I looked at the rest of your aucitons too, and while you have some gorgeous pictures of your daughter, the pictures don't showcase your outfits very well. When I'm looking at outfits, I like to really see the entire outfit. The strawberry outfit, I can not tell what the pants look like. I think the outfits look like they are really cute, but it's hard to tell from your pictures. I bet if you change the pictures, you will be getting bids left and right!

Thanks for the advice Teresa. I may have to go out and get some more shots tonight. The problem is that I have to go to a friends to upload them and that is a huge pain. My USB port took a poop awile ago and I am not replacing it because when DH gets home we are going to use his brand new laptop as our home computer.

 

[candicenicole19]

Oh, that's a pain! I hate uploading pictures on my own computer, I'd really hate having to go somewhere to do it!

Your daughter is just GORGEOUS by the way!!! Truly stunning!

Oohhh, we could make family shirts for one day - Im good at the iron on's - lol!!! Just let me know what to do - I'll help in any way I can to bring a smile to their faces!!!

HUGE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had finally had enough of this USB thing so I tried to reinstall windows and everything and guess what? After about an hour of installing, it works!!!! One of my friends is coming over for sewing lessons but I will have some pics on shortly to share of my newest creation.

 

[billwendy]

Hi Guys, Here are my latest tries - the short set is for Tim, and the dress is for Elizabeth - I think I might make hannah a flounder outfit to match (hmmm, where did I see that idea) lol!~ do you think the dress needs something more??? This is the portrait peasant dress, I did a size 7 for her - does anyone else thing the elastic for the neck is too big?

When I get a chance I will post a pic of it.

I would be happy to make something. Let me know size and details.
I have corresponded with Alicia and it is amazing that God has given her the grace to get through all of this. I don't think a day goes by that I don't think of her and her family.
