Where do you all get the red with white dot minnie fabric? I have small white dots but I have yet to see the big white dots. Thanks!

 

[100AcrePrincess]

My birthstone is pee yellow, too. I was always envious of Teresa's diamond birthstone.

See Teresa, you didn't get ALL the ugly stuff!

And Heather Sue, just had to say that my birthday is November 13 and MY birthstone (according to me) is BLUE topaz. Not that pee yellow one.

I sooo know how you both feel. The 13th is my birthday too & as soon as I found out about the blue topaz, I was all about it. I have to say though, after reading Twilight I'm starting to like yellow topaz a lot better.

Speaking of, Misty, have you finished Breaking Dawn yet????

I hope Aisling gets to feeling better. We have lots of sinus/allergy problems around here too, but fortunately the girls haven't gotten too bad. Yet.

I must get going. I know I wanted to comment on something else, but I've forgotten it. Figures. I need to get busy on my baby's outfit for the first day of Kindergarten too. I'm so not ready for this, but she's so excited.

 

[disneymommieof2]

My girlfriend teases me about my purse and wallet too! I figured if George can have all of these fancy computers and electronics I can have a fancy pure at least!

Are you a November bday? Teresa is she Jan? My sil I think is diamond and she is Jan. I am a sapphire and I love it!

WOW your kids let you l seep until 7:30am! I have already been up for 2.5 hours by that time That darn dog has me up at 5am to go potty and if I don't let her she whines at the edge of the bed until I get up! then if I try to go to bed after I take her she whines to eat so I feed her and then try to go back to sleep ad Nik is usually up by 6am! So my attempts to sleep late are futile! So 7:30am would be wonderful!

I have one coach bag- it's a diaper bag with a changing pad inside. It's nice a big but heavy! January is garnet, April is Diamond. My kids are Jan. & July so I have to red stones. (July is Ruby)

My dd turns 5 yesterday! Hard to believe that my little baby girl is now 5 years old!! She asked for a cupcake dress, and picked out this fabric...here is the dress that I made her:

The back of the dress...I really wanted to use three different fabric, but couldn't find any that I like...so I stuck with the light pink/white polka dot fabric for the three back ruffles...

Her birthday cake is a blizzard cake from Dairy Queen since she is allergic to wheat...

DD and her favorite birthday present...her very first AG doll - a just like you doll which she named after herself, Kirsten....her poor Sleeping Beauty Doll that she got at WDW has been neglected and possibly replaced!

Happy Birthday Kirsten!! Maybe after the intial "honeymoon period" She have room in her life for Aurora too! Her dress is very cute!!

Hey everyone!! I have been loving all of your creations, you guys are sure an inspiration!! Well I Have finally finished my project, and a couple more! I am so proud of myself for learning to sew, not a big thing for you guys, but I am still proud of my simple accomplishments!!
Here is my first creation

Here is a Winnie the Pooh shirt(no she is not holding the cat, she decided to jump up when I was taking the pic..lol)

And back

Minnie dress with matching doll dress

And back

Skirt (I had made that for Abby to wear to her cousins bday party on Sunday, well they had a musician playing a guitar and singing, and some of the people were dancing around, got hot and decided to take the cover off of the easy set pool (about knee deep on an adult) and dance around in it, well they put Abby in it too and the skirt got all creased and muddy and yucky, I was scared because I hadn’t had time to stitch the elastic together and tuck it into the waist band so I thought it was going to break, but it didn’t!)

Twirling...lol

Thanks for looking!!

They all look great!! The cat pic is perfect timing- Like you told her to stand pretty or something! Thanks for reminding me I bought some of that shirred material- I better make something with it before it gets cold around here!!

Hi everyone! Just dropping in to say Hello and to catch up! We had such a busy weekend...

Friday I took Timmy back to the doctor to have him checked again...he goes into a cast this Thursday. The doctor opted to leave it off over the weekend becasue we were going to the beach. He said we could take the splint off to go in the water. DH and me were scared that he would hurt it worse because he is so rough. So we left eh splint on and found this really cool thing you can put over the cast or in our case splint to waterproof it.

If anyone ever needs one...here is the link. http://www.drycorp.com/

i had never heard of this before...never had to deal with a broken arm before. It worked great!


Here they all are before getting wet...

Here is Timmy "surfing" (that's what he calls it!)

Katie in the boogie board and Patrick playing with his boat...

We had a blast at the beach and it was so nice that we didn't have to worry about his arm!

We had a good time just hanging out with the kids.

I also did a small update to my TRIP REPORT if anyone is interested!

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

IF anyone has shipped anything for my Big Give (MISTYMOUSE5001) can you please let me know??? I don't recall seeing anything yet. The ship date isn't until the 22nd so it's not a rush...I just want to keep track!

Thanks
Kristine

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Has anyone done the Simply Sweet dress in a size 6 months? How well did it fit? I hav a baby shower coming up for my assistant manager and want to make her dd's matching dresses. If I make a 6 month size dress, how long till it fits an average size baby?

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I don't know if anybody else has received this message, but I thought I would go ahead and post it.

hi
I am mrsmiller(linnette)'s husband , my wife asked me few days back to send you a email, (sorry it took me long but did not know how to ,as i am not familiar with this board) she's been in the hospital for over a week and had a lumbar punture to relieve preassure for the headaches, we were told she needs surgery but she is refusing to do anything now

my wife is really worried about some big dis project that she was working on, she told me to please let you (or who is in charge) that is almost done, please send everybody her regards

The doctors told me she should be home maybe tomorrow , If i know my wife as I think I do(lol) i know she will be on the computer as soon as she gets home(lol)

thanks

I made a school outfit for Tessa this week. I'm not sure if it's going to be her first day outfit or not. She LOVES it, so I'm leaning towards yes.

I used my dad's SLR camera. That thing is so cool! I think I might steal it from him. So, these pics were taken in their yard. I also had fun decorating them with Corel paint shop.

I don't think we'll have anyone searching ebay for THIS pout anytime soon!

 

[minnie2]

So I just got word from my mom that she is going to help me pay for Georgia's 7th birthday.....at DISNEYLAND!! I am soo darn excited. We are just going to say we are going to visit Grandma for the weekend and not tell her until we get down there. hehehe

So I guess I better dust that machine off asap and get to work on her outfits! on top of school clothes. ha!

http://www.dairyqueen.com/upload/AllergenBrochureTreats.pdf Here is a link to the allergen information from DQ. If the DQ near you is like the one that I worked at than they should be able to substitute things for you. We have done plenty of cakes without the cookie insert in them. As for them cleaning the blizzard machine in between uses....they don't. They clean it when the whole machine is messy.


Those are some really pretty skirts.

That is real exciting!!!!

Thanks! We usually just do the sot serve or a dillyb ar for Nikki to be safe.

Where do you all get the red with white dot minnie fabric? I have small white dots but I have yet to see the big white dots. Thanks!

What fun you must of had! I hope your ds arm is feeling better. I love the idea of something to go over it so he can still go swimming!

I don't know if anybody else has received this message, but I thought I would go ahead and post it.

OMG I hope she is feeling better! Poor thing! She is too sweet worrying about others when she should be simply just worrying about her self ad feeling better!!!!!

The dress is adorable. It is easy to see why she loves it. She looks great in it, too.

So, I downloaded the free trial for Paint Shop. Who wants to come over and teach me how to use it? Anyone?

Okay, then, who want to write a Paint Shop for Dummies tutorial?

Thanks for looking!!

I love the minnie dress was it hard to make?
i am just starting out and i am new to this thread but i've just read through it all and been looking at the lovely dresses to hopefully give me ideas

 

[HeatherSue]

How sweet is that Megan? I'll PM you. HOW did you miss that photo? Especially when the caption was something like "and this photo is just for Tessa"

That is such a pretty dress! I love how you did the back! You have a beautiful girl, too!

Now HeatherSue...I think that perhaps you should TRY a Coach bag...so you can understand the depth of love that forms... It's a very emotional experience...

Yes, I'm sure it would be a very emotional experience as I'm trying to convince the store employee that I HAVE to return it or my husband will kill me!!!

I am not so paranoid about these things. We talk about "stranger danger" a lot w/ Mac, lily is still too young. We talk about tactics a predator might use such as threatening to hurt me. I always tell him that I am an adult and will take care of me, that his responsibility is to GET AWAY. We have these conversations a lot so I guess I am a little paranoid, but not enough so that I use code names or have a secret password in case friends need to get him. We live around so many family and CLOSE friends(we don't have many) that I HIGHLY doubt that there will ever be a time when I am forced to send someone w/ a secret word to his bus stop or school to pick him up that he has NEVER met or doesn't know.

Does anyone have any tricks for applying an html code to the signatures???

...t.

To apply html to your siggy, just type out the name of the link or the picture code yaddayaddayadda [img]. Then, highlight it and click on the little world picture in the toolbar. Then, you put in the website that you want to link it to (the full site name html.....com). Does that make sense?

We really like this video:
[url]http://www.amazon.com/Stranger-Safety-Angela-Shelton/dp/B0009LS9Y4[/url]

It teaches kids about stranger safety without scaring them. It also teaches that kids also need to be wary around people they don't know WELL, not just strangers. But, it does it in a fun way! It would even be great for Lily!

WOW!! Look at you!!! These are fantastic!! I would never look at these things and think you just started sewing. You really have a knack for this! Your daughter is gorgeous!!!

:

Cute purse and the minnie skirts are GREAT! You should make a matching skirt for poor "little Niki"!!

So I just got word from my mom that she is going to help me pay for Georgia's 7th birthday.....at DISNEYLAND!! I am soo darn excited.We are just going to say we are going to visit Grandma for the weekend and not tell her until we get down there. hehehe

WOO-HOOO!!!! That is great news!

It's so hard. How to talk to them without scaring them. How do you teach them to be open, honest and trusting, but not with everyone? It stinks that we even have to think about such stuff. And what's even harder is that I have to mark everything the kids wear to daycare, but then I don't want to mark it conspicuously. Argh. We do

I really recommend the video I posted a link to above!!

I also did a small update to my TRIP REPORT if anyone is interested!

What a bunch of cuties! It looks like you had a great time!

I'm off to read your TR after I finish this obnoxiously long multi-quote!

IF anyone has shipped anything for my Big Give (MISTYMOUSE5001) can you please let me know??? I don't recall seeing anything yet. The ship date isn't until the 22nd so it's not a rush...I just want to keep track!

I had no idea we were supposed to post when things were shipped!

BIG GIVE UPDATE for Project Nicoledisneyfan: We have people signed up to do everything now except the passports. If this is something you'd like to do, please come on over to the DisBoutique board to sign up: http://disboutiquers.proboards106.c...tinformation&action=display&thread=311&page=2

Also, if you've signed up for this or another Big Give and you haven't already updated the status once your items were shipped and/or received, please take a moment to do that. It really helps the project coordinator keep track of what can be crossed off the lists as done.

Thanks!!!!

I didn't know we were supposed to post when we ship things and when they are received! OOPS! I'll go over there and do that. Do you want us to just post on the thread where we signed up?

I don't know if anybody else has received this message, but I thought I would go ahead and post it.

Thanks for letting us know, Crystal. I was afraid she might be in the hospital. I hope she's back soon!!

Love the fabric! It came out so pretty! Love her sandals too!

Thank you! I got those sandals at Family Dollar for $1!!

The dress is adorable. It is easy to see why she loves it. She looks great in it, too.

So, I downloaded the free trial for Paint Shop. Who wants to come over and teach me how to use it? Anyone?

Okay, then, who want to write a Paint Shop for Dummies tutorial?

Thank you!! I've found some pretty good tutorials online by googling things like "border tutorial corel paint shop"

 

[LisaZoe]

I didn't know we were supposed to post when we ship things and when they are received! OOPS! I'll go over there and do that. Do you want us to just post on the thread where we signed up?

This isn't something we've asked people to do before but I think it does help the coordinators to keep track. That way, too, if the deadline has passed and an item or two isn't marked as sent, the coordinator will be able to contact those people to check if everything is OK. I know we've all had times when things just don't go as planned. Luckily we usually have time between the shipping deadline and the actual date of travel so if something goes out a bit late, it would still get there with more expensive shipping options (like the 7 family tees for the Robin+5 give that I still need to finish and ship ).

BTW - Yes, you can just post a quick note that your item(s) was sent and/or received. I know many of us check the PTR for the families to see photos. That's a good way to be sure an item was received. I have a feeling the Big Give moms PM the sender of most packages but they don't always know who sent the package.

 

[HeatherSue]

Where do you all get the red with white dot minnie fabric? I have small white dots but I have yet to see the big white dots. Thanks!

I got it last year around Halloween at WalMart. They also used to sell it at Hancocks. I'm not sure where people are getting it now. I know some have bought it on ebay.

 

[t-beri]

WOW!!! Heather, you have made some really great stuff but this is FANTASTIC is it a clever frankenpattern or did you use an actual pattern...I've already decided HOW to frankenpattern (or how I would at least)it but I am still curious. I love the pocket on the dress

So, I downloaded the free trial for Paint Shop. Who wants to come over and teach me how to use it? Anyone?

You know now that you said this that Heather will be typing one up.


Just got bad news about the sink hole. It looks like the ins. co. is going to pay for the structure remediation directly to the contractor and is only giving me $11,000.00 for cosmetic damages and I owe the Public Adjuster I hired to handle the thing 10% which is roughly $9,000.00 So, I will have $2000.00 to repair all of the cracks in the stucco and block, my grout joints in the bathroom, the cracks in all of the drywall throughout the house, replace my linoleum that is molding and lifting from water damage fom the cracks in the block, replace molding and my kitchen backsplash which are lifting from the same thing. and I'm not sure what all else....OH YEAH paint my house after the cracks in the block are repaired. Not to mention whatever damage they cause to landscape and or the house when they put my house on jacks to drill large holes under it to pipe in concrete.
This was me when they told me: furious:
This is me now :

My public adjuster recommends that I hire an attorney b/c he feels that the ins. co. is not working in my favor. I will see what the attorney has to say but basically it comes down to THIS

I owe $164000.00 on the house. The attorney will charge me 20(ish)% and the Public Adjuster 10% of whatever the settlement is. So in order to pay them and my mortgage I'm going to have to get 3x what they are currently willing to give me.

If I go ahead and sign a contract to repair the damages and take the 11 grand then I am stuck w/ a $1500 a month mortgage on a house that is falling apart due to the sinkhole. Having repaired it the damage shouldn't be getting worse but I am going to be left w/20,000.00 worth of damage that I can't repair and a house I can't get rid of b/c it is now worth less than I mortgaged it for b/c of the problems caused by the sinkhole.

I called the attorney but I am not getting my hopes up.
It's a good thing that I didn't register for classes b/c I am going to have to look for a full time job now as the situation w/ my parents was only supposed to be for the summer.

I didn't mean to get all whiney but I needed to vent. Sorry and thanks.
...t.

 

[t-beri]

Thanks Heather, but it's an actual HTML code for a ticker I am trying to add to my siggy. There isn't a link it's an embedded code ( I think)

Thank you so much, T! I'm so glad you noticed the pocket, I was particularly proud of that! I looked through the bookmarks at a few different a-line skirt tutorials. Then, I sat down and made up a pattern for one since I didn't see just what I was looking for. I cut the striped fabric on the bias and then made sure the stripes matched up when I sewed it together. The shirt is Carlac's portrait peasant top, but I lengthened it (and flared it out) and then ran 3 rows of shirring around the middle. I sewed 2 striped pieces together for each sleeve, then cut out the sleeve pattern. It was much easier than I'm making it sound!

SHIRRING ON A BROTHER CS6000i
I did the shirring on Tessa's shirt on this machine. I wound the bobbin with the machine, and I left all the settings the same (2.5 stitch length and 1 tension). It shirred right up!


I'm sorry things aren't working out with your sinkhole. That must be so frustrating!!

Beautiful!! The dress, your daughter, the pictures! I want an SLR camera! I only have less than two months to convince my huuby of this before our trip.
