hi everyone!
i lurk here a lot, i love all the stuff y'all make!
i was crusing the interwebs and saw this website, i don't know if it's in the bookmarks or not, but when i saw it i immediately thought of the disboutiquers, hahah, so i thought i'd post it.
burdastyle.com/
kinda like YCMT, but not, lol.
I have that site in the bookmarks, but I can't always keep up with all the great stuff they post on there! I made Corey's tie from a pattern on there. It's a great site, and most of the patterns are free!!! Gotta love that!
I had a roommate in college that had beta fish. She kept them in these impossibly tiny plastic square things. I think they got depressed b/c their fins fell off...it was ick...then they died. Poor betas...:
That is terrible!!!Corey would be furious to hear that! We had a betta for about two years, he lived in his own 4 gallon tank with filter, heater, etc.. I don't know that Corey ever named him though. He gets really angry to hear about someone keeping Betas in tiny tanks!
Hey, has anyone heard from Linnette lately? I've noticed she hasn't graced us with her presence. I hope everything is okay, and she is just sewing away as usual.
I PMed her last week, but I didnt' hear anything back. I'm worried about her too!
Aww, Tom she looks so precious! Great job!!!
Seeing these pictures made me all sad though! It was just last year that you were making her first day of Kindergarten outfit, and now look at her! She looks so much older!
I am finished my Big Give #6 [Nicoledisneyfan] SeaWorld Custom for Victor. At first I tried to wing the pants and made them about 3 sizes to small, so I used the sewsensible Tween boutique pant pattern, since it was the only one I had handy.
Great job!
Hey all! Happy Friday! I finally finished up Baby Jack Jack! I don't have a model at the moment - she's asleep!
Here's the front -
and the back -
Lori, this is fantastic!!!!!!!!! I love it!!! That red swirly fabric is wonderful!!! I just love ruffles in the back, I guess that's why so many of Lydia's outfits have them!
FABULOUS as usual!!! So cute!!! I remember when hats with the brim rolled up in front were THE thing...very Blossom...oh my gosh does anyone remember that show?! I was sooo little when it was on but I remember Blossom's hats and her overall shorts!
Seriously young lady, do we have to come over there and smack you upside the head! Blossom was JUST on, recently, I know, I remember! It couldn't have been that long ago! I think Brian and I were allready married when it was on. Of course, we ARE celebrating our 20th anniversary on Wednesday!
That is so cool Jeanne!!! How special that you got to deliver things personally! Thank you for sharing the pictures!
We may go by my mom and dad's at their lake on the way home so Riley can go tubing for the first and probably only time this summer. It's been such a bummer not letting her do it, so we are really excited. I know some of you often get to go fancy schmancy places like the beach or Disney or even the mountains, but when you live in the midwest, Hillbilly land is about the fanciest place you can get in just a couple of hours! It is seriously the toothless capitol of the world. But we love it!!!!
I hope you and Riley and Drew and your sister all have fun!!!!
Whew! I got the quilt done. I'm going to toss it in to wash & dry so the cotton batting does it's slight shrinking - I like to do that before giving the gift so it's not a shock. Here it is before the wash:
I like it more now that it's done but there are things I'd do differently if I did it again.
BTW - It's not as misshapen as it looks in the photo. LOL I can never get my quilts to come out perfectly but it's closer to a straight rectangle than it looks.
That looks fantastic Lisa!!!! WOW!!
I made a quilt for my parents once. It was not easy!
You can NEVER have too many pictures!!!!!
I love this!!! Those fabrics are fantastic!!! It is making me sad though! I don't like the thought of school starting so soon!!!
WHY OH WHY did they have to have all day every day kindergarten when my baby is startging school??? WHYYYYYYYYYYY????
(Only Heather knows that I'm not just being overlydramatic to be funny!)
Here are the pictures of my babies when Lilly was 10 days old. I had her take pictures of each of the girls individually since they all just had birthdays (Grace just turned 5 last Saturday and Claire turned 3 in June). Sorry for so many pictures, get ready for photo overload!
Benita!What a gorgeous family!!! You are just stunning!
Here is my Big Give outfit for Sasha (NicoleDisneyFan)
That looks fantastic!!! I love it!
so i have attempted some bows and so far i am terrible at, i'll keep trying though because they look so cute, i gave up on them for the afternoon and finished ryans pirate shirt. i told him he could pick a character and i would try to do it for him. so he picks captain jack sparrow. aaaaaargh. after 10 attempts to get the hair and jawline right this is what ive got.

Wow! great job!!! That looks REALLY complicated!!! Your son is TOO cute!
Well I decided to do the applique.
SAHM1000 - I love the family photos!
It was cute before, but now it's perfect!
Does anyone think that one of those super fun bucket hats might help? I'm thinking about trying my hand at one (clearly it's late and I'm not thinking clearly!) My DH's grandmother (who lives next door) and is from the South and OF COURSE, is FULL of home remedies/wives tales (seriously the woman has lived here for 50 plus years but suddenly has a Southern accent when she needs to impart wisdom) says that the headaches are caused by not wearing a hat (something about the sun beating into her head!). Is there any truth to this? Cuz if it will work...I'm going to try it. Hate to keep pumping my kid full of meds.
My headaches are worse if the sun is in my eyes, so I think she might have a point. But, if I have a headache already, a hat is unbearable to wear. And they will sometimes give me a headache. Maybe a nice lightweight straw hat would be a good idea and definetely some sunglasses.
Look who I ran into last night!!!!!!!!!!!!
COOL!!!! That looks like so much fun!!!
WOW!!! Those are fabulous!!! The Ariel is my very favorite!! It is so bright and colorfull, it's just perfect!! I love the little things hanging down! Great job Cathy!!!
I knew Jenna and Megan would make great friends! I think they both look fabulous with their shorter haircuts!
She doesn't look more grown up: she just looks cuter (can you tell I am in denial).
Arminda's haircut is about that length now too. I cut it a few days ago. Megan looks adorable like that. Not older, just even more irresistably adorable! Lydia briefly mentioned me cutting her hair shorter, but I refused to hear her! I did layer it a bit though, so that her curls have more bounce.
I posted a picture of this outfit, before it was done...a long time ago..
Anyway, I finally took a photo of Ireland in it today...and she wanted me to tell you all that she got her hair cut...6 inches. Ouch! I was not expectng that, when you ask for just a trim...
That turned out so cute!!! And, Ireland's hair looks great! Lydia was asking about her today! She asked if she was ok, because she remembered she fell off her bike and got hurt. So, I told her I'd ask. Elisa, how's Ireland doing?
[ I laughed during Teresa's trip report when she mentioned giving Lydia a 10 minute warning before brushing her hair. I have to do the same thing! So do you like Ireland hair this length? Is it easier? It still looks very long and pretty![/COLOR][/SIZE]
It is a problem! I only wish I had been exagerating!
The dress is actually very pretty! But, Ireland's makup seriously scares me!!!
I was just looking through some of my paterns for one of the Big Gives, and was wondering how one of them might look with shirring in the back instead of a zipper. I though it might make the fit a bit more flexible. I love the way this one turned out, so I might just try it! It's funny you posted that today though!
Hi, I've been lurking for ever and posting under my DD's name GoofyG.
I'm finally on here, yeah!
My DD and her kids and my DH and I go to Disney World together. My DD comes up with the ideas for the clothes, and I get the privilege of sewing for her 3 kiddos!
Kathy! It's about time!
I posted for a year under my husband's name until I was brave enough to get my own. So welcome back!
So, what's Tom's username?
I'm back from a nice relaxing night away with DH. We had fun and he even let me do a little shopping at the outlets in Park City, but sadly no new bag at the Coach outlet. They had some cute stuff and some great deals. I thought of you Miss Cammie. In fact I said to myself, if it were Jay and Miss Cammie's 17th wedding anniversary, I'm sure she would be getting a cute new Coach bag! (I may have even said it aloud to DH
)
Hey, did I miss your anniversary??? When was it??? Happy Anniversary Jeanne!
under your new name 
Great job Cathy!!!
BUT it's always good for a laugh...and sometimes she is right!
You are going to be showing off all your great creations very soon! I can't wait to see what you make!
I can browse myself silly and sometimes my darling hubby gets the hint and hits it out of the park!! The girls at the Coach store call me every time something from a new line comes in. They know how I love to "try on" bags!!!
Where is the tag fairy when ya need her???
