JC Penny's, I just started using them.

JC Penny's, I just started using them.

Really- I have been a loyal sears photo girl but have thought about trying pennys but I only know one person that goes there and she doesn't always get good shots I guess it all depends on the photographer, because you got some really beautiful pictures!! Maybe I'll give them a try next time. Thanks for sharing!

 

[teresajoy]

I bet she looks so different!! You are going to have to post some pictures! Megan has always preferred her hair shorter and I like to think that she looks younger right after a haircut.

I cut it some while we were in Florida, so it was about shoulder length, but she REALLY wanted it shorter, so I gave in and did it! It's pretty cute, but it is diffrent!

It isn't too hard to cut girl's hair. I use to cut Corey's too, but now he has my Mom do it!

1) You cannot cut that child's hair! My sister's hair is so similar, exact same color, slightly wavy. My mom thought a cute little pixie cut would bring out some of the curl (this was mid 70s). We found out that she has cowlicks all over her head and her hair stuck out in a million directions. She was mortified and has worn her hair long ever since.

I feel like I've told you this before. If I have ignore me. I just love Lydia's hair.

2) It is Mickey Mouse but with a zero where the "o" goes. Back then I just read and posted on the scrapbooking board. I wonder how my old buddies are doing...

Don't worry! I am not planning on cutting her hair!! I love it long!

So, Tom was a Diser BEFORE you?? That's pretty neat! I'm glad you came out of hiding with your own username!

Here is the first picture of my 3 kiddos. My mom made the girls outfit, and I just happen to have a frog outfit for my little man. Enjoy!

Oh my goodness, they are gorgeous!!!

:Well Corey would have really disliked my roommate then...she INSISTED that Bettas were happy living in one square inch with no room to move. She was a poot. Her last name was actually RUDE. I'm not kidding...and she WAS.




Embracing violence TJ?! Now REALLY!

*ahem*

I didn't mean I was REALLY little...I was medium little...like 10...or something. I don't really remember...but it's not like I was toddling about in pampers! I loved Blossom...and her brother Joey...WHOA!

MissCammie, you have me laughing too hard for this late at night!

Here our some pictures of the girls wearing wall-E. DD4 wore hers to the movie

So adorable!!!!!

I know you all want to see party pics.....
Here is my family- Mom, Dad, Brother, sister & me

:

How CUTE are you!!!! Seriously, you are just adorable!!!

And woo hoo for the magic recllining stroller!!!
It looks like you were all having a lot of fun!!!

Ok, now, I better get to bed!!!!

Teresa did you see I post my eeyore pics on you're TR?!?!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Love it Crystal

We love Halloween at our house too...but I also live right near Salem- you know of the witches fame- so everyone around here kinda celebrates Halloween. Aisling came home from the hospital on Halloween (she came a little early so she had an extended stay at the hospital). So she came home in a rediculously large pumpkin outfit. My BF bought it for her and apparently when I said she was tiny, she didn't get HOW tiny so she bought her a 3-6 month costume. Ya, I get it....DH and I are big people but really??? She was 5 lbs at the time!!!!

Oh so pretty!!!

Thanks everyone for the concern for Aisling. The headaches continue but the allergy medicine seems to have least gotten her past the "motion sickness" part. She does wear sunglasses EVERY time she's outside so we continue to do that. I haven't added a hat yet because I know it's going to be a huge battle but I'm going to find a great one she can't refuse before Florida!!!

 

[minnie2]

I was there yesterday and they do indeed have cheer stuff (but it is a super sized JoAnn's). Do you want me to snap a few pictures for you?

NAh but thanks! I have come to realize my Joann's is awful. They only had a Viking ruffler foot ad when I dared suggest that I know some one who ought on there for other machines she got rude. Then there has been several times the lady that cuts the material has been down right RUDE! Once to Nikki and I was fuming so much so I told the mgr. How can any one be rude to a little 8 yr old kid when was just trying to be helpful and hold a ult of fabric for her mom?!?!?!? Any way thank you very much. i did see a few online that I may order. Or I will actually take the time and figure out how to work my embroidery machine

How cool!!! The kids look so cute with the characters. I love George's comments. He sounds so much like Henry!

I have told you and Teresa in both of your TR that Henry and George would be the best of friends because it sure sounds like they are cut from the same cloth!

Oh and on the school supplies with bot my kids the teachers ALWAY end up adding tot he supply lis AFTER school starts! UGH! That reminds me I need to go order Nikki's HM backpack from the Disney store!

Well, I decided to try doing tiny appliquéd apples to use for the covered buttons. Here's my test button:

I only had one button set in that size so I just did this one to try it. I'm glad it's only a test because I realized the thread ends from my knots show through the yellow fabric. I need to get some buttons today so I can make the final ones to use - and then the dress is finally done!!!

Perfect as usual! Do you ever get tired of being perfect? Seriously you are such and inspiration!
I was at the Disney store the other day and I thought of you when I saw this new Cindy tshirt it was just her head and HUGE ! My main thought was Lisa makes them SOOO much nicer if more people only knew!

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...

So pretty! The halloween dress came out great too!!!!!

 

[ncmomof2]

Adorable! Very scary

How do you get an applique on the pants? Are they jeans that you added it to or did you make the pants. I have thought about trying this but the pant legs in jean are so small... Am I missing something?

 

[kimmylaj]

Ok ladies, I did it. After faithfully reading this thread for a year, I bought a sewing machine today !!! I am so excited to get started, I have never touched a sewing machine so while reading the manual I am a little intimidated. I am sure it will take me a while to learn all the bells and whistles. I got the machine, it's a Brother and is a special edition Project Runway model for $130.00. I bought some clearance fabric and will practice on that. We are going to MVMCP in December and my goal is to make matching outfits for DD and DNiece. I bought some Mickey and Cinderella appliques yesterday and plan on finishing off some plain shirts with the appliques and other trimmings.

I am so excited to get started, of course DH has already said don't try to make any matching shirts for him because I would be wasting my time. He is such a party pooper. Oh well back to the manual, you know I bought fabric, good scissors but what did I forget to buy, Thread!!! So back to the store tomorrow after work so I can play around with the machine a little bit tomorrow night.

you are going to have so much fun i only started sewing about 6 or 7 weeks ago and had never touched the machine before. it really is easier than i thought, and buying fabric is so much fun. i have made my dd2 about 5 or 6 outfits already and my ds5 4 pairs of shorts. my advice to someone new like me is to get the carla c patterns you will feel like you really know what you are doing, i can do the easy fit shorts/pants in my sleep now. i love them have fun

oh I am working on our second halloween outfit... we love boo day around here.. We call it jo-toberfest since it is josephines birthday on halloween. so we celebrate all year long.
I tried to get her to be scared for the pictures...hmmmm

so adorable.. i have to start doing some stuff other than disney, our trip is in 15 days and i dont think the kids want to wear disney all year long, but you never know

I know you all want to see party pics.....
Here is my family- Mom, Dad, Brother, sister & me

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!

Welcome! under you own name

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 )

Glad you had a nice time! I love the coach outlet and store!

I can't wait to see what you make!

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!

WHY OH WHY did they have to have all day every day kindergarten when my baby is startging school??? WHYYYYYYYYYYY????

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.

HAPPY EARLY ANNIVERSARY! i love hearing about couples being together for yrs! George and I are at 14 yrs married 18yrs together.

I was the same way when Nikki started Kindergarten I told George that was one thing I was happy about when we left GA that IL has 1/2 day kindergarten. Of course her teacher told me she would have loved full day! Problem is Mommy wouldn't have! Kyle is headed into 1st grade and I can't believe they are growing uop so fast I am not ready to have him away all day yet. Heck I don't think he wants to e away all day yet. I guess it is a good thing i help ut in both of their classes at least once a week. I am not too over protective

I cut George and Kyle's hair. Well I buzz them or scalp them as I call it I threaten Nik to do the same to her hair if she doesn't learn to brush it at least once a day!

Hi Everyone,

Im psyched - someone on the Disigns board asked me to make them a name design with Walle and they liked it!!! That has never happened to me before!!! If anyone wants a name design, just let me know, I'd be happy to give it a try for ya!!!!

thanks, wendy

How cool!

I just finished an outfit for Jenna. I got inspired by all the recent Halloween things that I have been seeing lately. You can't see it very well in the picture, but it has witches all over it.


She insisted that I take a pic with the hoodie on her head. So, this is her with the hoodie on her head.

So fun! I love the fabric. I just bought the Mickey and Minnie fabric where Minnie is a witch and Mickey is dracula and now I am trying to figure out what to make with it. Do I waste it on the kids or do I make something for me!

Here is the first picture of my 3 kiddos. My mom made the girls outfit, and I just happen to have a frog outfit for my little man. Enjoy!

So sweet! The best creations yet! I used to LOVE to put Kyle in those colors. I think he may have even had a shirt /onsie exactly like that . Maybe it was Carters....

You got it sister!!! How well do y'all already know me?!

This was for our FIRST wedding anniversary present!!

Front!

if I could marry a bag...this would be the one!!! I love it!!

I am very lucky to live near THE Flagship Coach store...it's RIGHT next to Bloomingdales...my idea of Heaven!!!! 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!!!

what? I don't have a problem...I DON'T...it's an APPRECIATION...a deep abiding LOVE if you will...

*ahem*

Maybe your hubby will surprise you Jham!!! You did bear him four GORGEOUS children after all!

Sista you are speaking my language! I ADORE Coach! When I had diaper bags George always said if Coach made diaper bags I would want one. Of course just after I stopped using them they came out with one! Lucky George George usually gets me one for our anniversary/ mothers day( they are with in days of each other) This is my latest except I have the dark brown. It is the Carly
http://www.coach.com/content/product.aspx?product_no=9089&category_id=889
The only problem with it is it is SOOO heavy! It is worth it though.
George is SOO good about getting me bags 2 yrs ago for Christmas he even spoiled me and wanted to get me something I normally wouldn't buy and he bought me a burberry wallet! I LOVE it but once again it is so HEAVY!
George is a oddball he has no problem spending a fortune on a coach bag for me but the thought of $10 on a CarlaC pattern sends him over the edge

I tried to get her to be scared for the pictures...hmmmm

Love it1 We like Halloween too! When I was pg with Nikki I was hoping she was born on Halloween because I loved the October birthstone. She decided to come 4 days later and has a pee yellow birthstone oh well...

Here our some pictures of the girls wearing wall-E. DD4 wore hers to the movie

Love these!

Here is my little man Attikus in his 4th of July outfit that my mom made. She had to trace around an outfit he had to make a pattern small enough.

so sweet!

This is the 4th of July skirt that my girls wore. I have to find pictures of them wearing it. I know I have twirl factor.

Love patchwork twirls!

I know you all want to see party pics.....

Salem is so fun at Halloween! We went yrs ago and it was a hoot! We have actually ben a few times yrs ago when we still lived in NJ.
Love the pumpkin outfit!

Hi everyone, I am a lurker learning to sew. Some of you may remember a couple of months ago I was making a quilting organizer (well that's not done yet) but I did finish my first sewing project and it was so fun. For those of you who didn't know, I bought my first sewing machine right after Christmas and I bought it at Joann's fabrics. In Joann's is a store (close to home it's called) that rents space from Joann's. Well if you buy a machine from them you get 12 months free of a Creative Sew Club that meets once a month. So far I have been working on my organizer (for three classes now), usually it's a different project. Anyway July's was a scalloped pillowcase and I finished it. The yellow fabric is supposed to be cording but I did a flat cording (just because I'm still a beginner and I wanted to be able to finish mine that night). So here is my first COMPLETE project. I figure I can make a lot of pillowcases now, lol.

This is the whole pillowcase

Here's a closeup of the scalloped edging.

Ya, I think most people in the South haven't heard of half of the stuff this woman comes up with BUT it's always good for a laugh...and sometimes she is right!

She does have season allergies like everyone else is my family. Issue is that August in NE is not usually a "bad" season (like Spring) so I'm wondering why the constant headaches BUT this had been a really weird summer weather-wise so who knows. Poor kid. I just wish her Pedi would take it a little more seriously than saying it's a "virus" when clearly it isn't. Viruses don't cause headaches that last a month!

Thanks Crystal for listening to my whining!!!

I know you posted this a few pages back, but I have noticed (I live in NH) that I have been sneezing a TON lately. I think it is all the rain we've been having, supposedly mold spores are super high. Could she be allergic to that?

And were you just looking for an excuse to make those adorable bucket hats? I know I am! (Please know I am just kidding, I know having a sick kid with no explanation is NO fun!)

oh I am working on our second halloween outfit... we love boo day around here.. We call it jo-toberfest since it is josephines birthday on halloween. so we celebrate all year long.
I tried to get her to be scared for the pictures...hmmmm

Hey, my DD's birthday is Halloween, too! Which is awesome because that is my FAVORITE holiday.

Good Morning Good Morning!! I am back to work this week after getting less than desired accomplished on my week off. I just wanted to pop in and say Hi. I was keeping up on the blackberry whenever I could sneak it away from my husband.

I brought our camera in w/ me to work to try to upload the pics. I have some from out trip to MK and a simply sweet dress I made for Lily MONTHS ago and her 4th outfit I never got around to posting ( she wore it to school today and I had the camera in my hand so I thought I'd grab a few shots for you guys) Now if I can figure out how to get the pics from the camera into my computer we'll be in business

Glad to be back. I'll holla at you girls later!

Has your daughter been checked for Migraines? I started getting them when I was FIVE. Your daughters headaches and the following side effects sounds very similar to my migraine stuff when I was that age! You might mention it to the doctor...sometimes they don't think to check for migraines in children. I hope it's not, but if it is you could get proper medication and she'd feel a lot better!!!

Welcome! under you own name

I hear you on the heavy bags! My Legacy bag gets VERY weighted down b/c I fill any bag I have. It's a terrible habit. Jay got me a little Coach swing pack for the summer in the hopes that I wouldn't fill it...I so found a way to fill it without it looking over stuffed!

I am a pack RAT.

Jay is the same way in terms of the inconsistent shock at price tags...he'll spend a fortune on a Coach bag but then he balks at the price of Hanes undershirts!

She is adorable in her little pumpkin sleeper! I just love halloween festivities. Is there extra halloween festivites going on around salem?

Adorable! Very scary

How do you get an applique on the pants? Are they jeans that you added it to or did you make the pants. I have thought about trying this but the pant legs in jean are so small... Am I missing something?

yep they are jeans, I just take out one of the side seams and then applique. when I am don I sew the seam back together.

so adorable.. i have to start doing some stuff other than disney, our trip is in 15 days and i dont think the kids want to wear disney all year long, but you never know

oh my goodness my kids love wearing disney all year long. but holidays are fun too!

OK - still thinking about something special for my DS to wear @ WDW on his birthday. I found a cute image of Mickey with a birthday hat and balloons (coloring page actually) and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me more about painting on denim. I tried doing web searches but couldn't find anything that really told me how to do it.

Things like: what type of paint is best, what type of brushes are best, does denim need any special treatment before applying paint (other than washing first/no fabric softener), anything you can do to get brighter colors on denim other than making the paint layer really thick? -- anything else that is pertinent? Are there any online sites that have more information?

I'm not really sure if it will come out good at all, but figured I still have 2 months, so I could give it a try. Just don't want to waste money and buy the wrong stuff. (I'll do something on an old pair of shorts first to find out what I'm getting into...)

I'm just thinking this is a project I could do with him in the room, where sewing would be a real task right now. (my sewing machine is in our unfinished basement and not safe for DS to be down there and since he doesn't nap anymore I don't have time to sew a shirt right now.)

I do not think denim needs any special treatment. I have been told the "apple" paints are the best. Have you thought of appliqing mickey holding a birthday cake or ballons on a shirt or jeans?
