awwwww what a cutie!!! How come New Jersey isn't on your list?! You've got NY and PA...Jersey isn't that far of a stretch! It's the GARDEN state! come on!!!
I think it is so wonderful that you work so hard on behalf of these dogs! Good Karma girlfriend!!!
I hope Blakely finds a home!!! I can't believe nobody in his "family" wanted him!
You can kind of see it in this picture, it looks a little swollen on the lower left side but it's not. Not the best photo but one that was in photobucket. (but it's at Castaway Cay to be almost on-topic 
)
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Seriously...Lily gets me every time! She is just too precious for words!!! AND she's wearing Ladybugs! My FAVORITE bug!!!
darling outfit!! Darling daughter!!!
) I started this Elephant stripwork before Christmas (cut it all out) and started to sew it together last weekend and it is too short, even if I make it a top (which is how I make most of her stuff-just shy of knee length to wear w/ pants or shorts) it will need an under layer. I don't want that to happen again. Plus I have to narrow down the outfit options. Picking is the hardest thing to do. I have been hording some of the booak minnie dot to make her an outfit BUT really want to do JHAM's cinderella zuma outfit(which I am still taking creative credit for ) for MK cause I think we'll do CRT but then...should I have a fancier dress for that? Wanting to do something NEW for AK this year, but can't decide on what(made an animal/dot stripwork last year) Have Friends around the world fabric (all of them, I think) for Epcot- though it's tough not to do a nemo outfit, and she is totally inlove w/ I can't remember who's little einsteins outfit.
There have been so many wonderful outfits and so many of you look like you had WONDERFUL trips. I am jealous of all of you!! Still trying to catch up but you'll be onto a new thread before I do probably. We are trying to get online at home since soon I will be going to school ***FULL TIME-NO WORKING AT THE SUCKY JOB CAUSE I AM NOT GOING BACK!!!****
I am recovering from my surgery though I am surprised at how sore my foot still is (2.5 weeks later) it was just about a 3/4" cut. I am planning on starting to sew Little's WDW outfits since we now have a date of OCT 17-24th @ the Marriott's Grand Vista Villas. ( I need to add it to my Siggy) But I am afraid she'll either have some HUGE growth spurt or just not grow at all. She is in a 2T now (She'll be 3 in July
In a SURPRISE turn of events Big Brother said "Mom, can you sew something for me?" WOW, my soon to be 10 yo wants me to SEW FOR HIM!!!! I think he mostly wants to help. Great, I may be calling Steph to get some applique help I need to see someone do this! Sounds like I'm going to have a lot o applique-ing to do.
I am resolving myself to get at least one outfit done by monday, disney related or not. Will post pictures mon.
I need to get a few of Carla's patterns and the zuma pattern...hmmm I have MOST of my fabrics (thinking of getting a story book to make the story book panel skirt)
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!

Here is the other skirt that I finished for Parker to wear to school this morning for her teddy bear picnic.
Before school:
Today we hit the zoo for a preschool field trip. The girls had a great time and really enjoyed their "zoo dresses." We even saw a baby elephant named Samson. He was so cute!

First let me say that these are some very pretty dresses. Second the dress that the little one wearing is it the Belle Ellyse Pinafore pattern with sleeves added? Cause if it is that is too cool that you did that because i was wondering if it could be done.Today we hit the zoo for a preschool field trip.

Noah has one on his eyebrow (assalt from a toybox
It doesn't seem like it matches the pettiskirt at all. I should have picked a solid color for the ruffle, I think the stripes are too distracting. I don't know if I should start again and chuck it or what. I am a little depressed, I thought she could wear it to the princess lunch on her birthday and now I have to start over.
or as someone mentioned, you could do the pillowcase/halter style and make it longer as a dress. She would probably need a tshirt under it though. (ignore the squinty face)
Here is what I made today, completely my own idea (ha!). I did the more modest halter top from CarlaC with elastic thread in the back instead of one piece of elastic and I like the way it fits, although I liked the other one too. I can't tell much of a difference (maybe I did the old one, lol).
I don't like it though.

After school (orange juice drops all over the top and no hair bow)
Better pic of the monkey on the shirt (the shirt is Gymboree):
And here is Gigi the bear in her matching skirt:
She was mad this morning b/c the bear had a skirt and not shorts. I finally convinced her that the bear was a girl and not a boy. I think the bear probably needs a shirt or something. I'm not going to make it a peasant blouse b/c I don't even like making those for Parker. I'm thinking a little bikini looking top -- what do y'all think?

You seem to whip them out faster than all of us...I'm struggling to just get a skirt done. I have a cold and don't like sewing when I'm sick...or doing much elseI think that it is very pretty and Megan seems to really like it.
Anyway . . . the babes dress is a Simplicity pattern 3511. I loved it. It goes from size 1/2-4. Can't beat a 99 cent pattern. 
I also bought the Disney petti and paired it with a plain white tank. If you really want to do it again I would do a white halter or tank and applique a crown. Let the skirt be fancy and the applique match one of the designs from the skirt. I put fancy bows and bling on my DD to dress up the top. I think I will make her a top to wear with the petti but she just wanted to wear it then! LOL
Then I glued some bling on with E6000--my first ever experience with E6000--I loved it! I just hope the washing machine does too! 
Some day I'll have a photo with a model. I used the sparkly pink fabric from Joanns for the crown and it matched really well (especially after all that ironing with the heat 'n' bond).
