Thanks so much!! Is it a fairly easy pattern to follow??

I am mysterious!

Not really, I don't talk about it a lot. I found extremely stressful because I knew it cost my parents a lot of money to do it so I over-analyzed every mistake and really worked myself up about it. I didn't eat for days the one time I brought a whip into the dressage ring and was disqualified from the entire competition. They wouldn't even let me do cross country and stadium and we had driven eight hours to be there. I still think that is one of the worst days of my life.

I do miss my horses. I had a welsh pony named Shamrock and when I outgrew him a half app/thoroughbred named Buddy. See Miss Cammie, we are not a good naming family!

Steph....sorry about the whip thing. Yeeshhh a little over-dramatic repercussion don't you think? I can't believe they did that to you. I am not competitive. Even when I showed I wasn't really good at it cause of nerves etc. I even got worked up over my daughter's 4H fair horseshow. I don't think we are going to do it again. For one thing, horses are ridiculously expensive and take lots of time/energy, which is why we don't own one.
I still love horses though. I feed two horses twice a week and can groom and ride one of them for free. Now that is great fun! No pressure!
Here is a pic of them in their pasture:

And the one I ride. He's an appy (clearly!):

my stuff.

3.) leave it blank.

Would love opinions because my gut is going with the easiest way out at this point.

I love the glider as I am sure you will too! My vote is #3! I think you should leave it blank cause you will have a dotted window treatment there. And if you put up a shelf or something with monkeys it will pull the whole thing together! You really did a great job!!!

ms_mckenna,

those polka dots are AMAZING! I think it looks great as is. If it was my nursery I would probably pick a color (blue, yellow, or green) and paint it on the bottom half of all of the walls or paint the other 2 walls. I think it would tie all of the walls together. You've done an awesome job!!

 

[twob4him]

I sewed something today!

What is it you ask???? Well, I went to Staples with DD10 to do a little back-to-school shopping and I picked up some cool goodies to go with my laptop for work. I needed a "numbers pad" to add to the side of my laptop so I can type in grades easily. I also found a cute little mouse and also a neat remote to go along with my power point slideshows so I don't have to stand by my computer hitting the button. However I noticed they had neat wrist rests for the laptop and also "cooling" things that put your laptop at an angle so heat can leave the bottom. They were kind of expensive though. $16 for the wrist thing and $30 for the cooling thing. Sooooooo....long story long ....I made my own! I even made a pouch for the numbers pad. Here's a close up!

While I was at it, I covered the mouse pad in fabric! Are you worried about me yet???

And just to seem normal, here is DD's adorable pink backpack. On her desk is her summer reading project! She is ready to go back.... Me....not so much

I have been off lately and I have missed 60 pages!!! I have got a few questions.
First - my DS loves "Army Men". I want to make him a bowling shirt with a toy story army man appliqued on. However, I cannot find a good picture of an Army man. Does anyone have a fairly simple army man from Toy Story?

Second- I am going to Cindy's castle for my birthday dinner. I even have a BBB appointment for my child and me for that day!! Anyway, I want a Cinderella themed adult dress. I found a cute simple dress and I was thing that I could applique something Cinderella related on the bottom of the dress and make it in the light blue color. I was kind of thinking about a slipper and "shoes can change your life". Any ideas?

TIA!!

PS - everything that has been posted lately is wonderful!! I am in awe of all the talent on this board!!

 

[DisneyMama629]

Was it the pink w/ black mickeys you were looking for? I found some on clearance at my walmart and bought what they had left (around 2 yds) and posted for you but I guess you were already on your trip...sorry I tried to help!

...t.

Yes it was the pink and black! Thanks for finding some for me. I must have been gone already. I have plenty now, but if you aren't going to use it, I don't want you to be stuck with it. I'll buy it from you if you want to get rid of it.

Also, thanks for voting, those of you are!!!!

We are finally back from Chuck E Cheese. Jenna and her friends had a great time with her daddy. I found out tonight that he is a major push over when it comes to his daughter. He gave her everything that she asked for. They were very comfortable with each other. Like they had seen each other everyday since the day she was born. He is very sorry for not being around for her all of this time. I honestly think that he means what he is saying.

I figured I would add in the thing that he said that would help to win the DisBoutiquers over..... He is planning on a family trip with him, his mom, his brother, his sister-in-law, his neice, his other DD and her adoptive mom and Jenna and I to WDW for one whole week sometime next year. Now do I think that DH would go for this? I doubt it. He is very jealous of us spending time with Eddie. I think that he is going overboard with his jealousy.

Jenna decided to wear a Halloween custom that I made for her. I know it's not halloween yet, but I decided not to argue with her. I decided that it's her visit with her daddy she can wear what she wants to.

Here is Jenna and her daddy.

Here is Jenna showing off her stuff she got.

This is Meranda holding the cup that Eddie bought for all fo the kids. He left the table to go buy more tokens and ended up buying 4 light up Chuck E cups. (Like I said major push over)

And this is Amber dressed up in some of Jenna's Fancy Nancy stuff that I gave her for her birthday.

And just so ya'll can see Chandler here he is.

This is a picture of Jenna's daddy when he was in the Air Force.

It's nice they get along.
Tread carefully. I can see why he'd be upset because you seem to be going overboard with Jenna's dad.
I wouldn't rock the boat and honestly, let Jenna go with her dad and you stay home with your husband.
Has your husband been there for you?
Is he dependable?
Are you willing to lose him?
Jenna's dad has shown that you can't depend on him.
Be careful.

The visits with Jenna's dad are being supervised right now because of an issue with his other DD. That's why she has an adoptive mother. It will be awhile before my trust is up enough to allow her to go on a visit with him alone. And to answer your questions no my DH is not dependable, and is not really here for me like he should be and he isn't much of a step-father to Jenna. Our marriage is on the rocks and has been there for awhile.

 

[rie'smom]

I'm very sorry.

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I'm very sorry.

It's ok. There is more to the story than just that. It is not my intention to leave my DH for him. DH and I are trying to work things out, but he is not trying to do what it is he is saying he is going to do. The only time that he even attempted to be a step-father to Jenna was when he found out that her daddy was back in town (only for a short time), but that was when he started saying stuff like I was going to leave him for her daddy. My big fear right now is that DH is cheating. As for the trip to WDW I doubt that I would go. I would love to go because I have always gotten along really well with Eddie's family. I adore his mom.

 

[rie'smom]

Bless your heart, I hope everything works out for you.

 

[teresajoy]

I don't think this is the kind of crying she was talking about. I know it wasn't what I was talking about. I hope nobody was thinking I was saying it harmed kids to know their moms like having them around!

I didn't think that was what you were saying at all.

Hey everyone, I have really enjoyed looking at all of your creations!!! I went to a local fabric store yesterday and got some fabric, but I seem to have lost all creative ability!!! LOL I have no real idea on what to make with the fabric. For the Stitch fabric, I was thinking of making a strip skirt with it, DD really wants a dress with it, I am not sure it that works with that material though...any suggestions anyone has would be great!!!

It was all a great deal Stitch was $3/M Mickey and Minnie was $4/M and the tropical one was $2.50/M, I couldn't really pass them up!

Thanks so much!

Oh WOW!!! That is some GREAT fabric!!!!! I love it all!

i have so missed all of you. I only just went back a few pages and every thing looks great as usual. Gorgeous pics of tessa and sawyer! Really those pics are stunning and I love the goofy ones too.

I am still going to be on and off for awhile because of BTS sad1: (Roseanna starts 9/2., getting ready for Mark's homecoming , finishing my homeimprovement projects and my crazy business venture and my presidency of the local moms club---not much time for anything! But I miss all of you!

Here is a pic of roseanna's back to school outfits (one of them) using moda wee play fabric:

That is so cute!!!!

That was my thought! We have a breakfast and a dinner ressie there, but I am not sure if the pink tropical 'goes' with the stitch....any suggestions?

I was thinking that his ears were pink and it would match too!

Well i had to share this is my chair I am picking up tomorrow off Craigs list. It is a glider!

Could not believe how well it is going to coordinate with teh sock monkey fabrics!

I got ticked at my stencil I bought so I free handed the words.

Would love opinions because my gut is going with the easiest way out at this point.

That glider is going to look great in there!!!

I like option 2, with the words.

You are never going to believe this....but my friend who is in Disney (MK at this moment!) just called me. They have been talking about buying DVC for over a year. Well, they went on the tour today and I think they are going to buy it! I am soooo excited for them! They both love Disney and have three kids so they will definately use it!!!
And guess what's more......she insisted we stay at Saratoga Springs when we go to the Feb Dismeet!!!!!

I am soooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!

COOL!!!!!

I bet she had a nice CM!

Thanks so much!! Is it a fairly easy pattern to follow??

YES!!!! It is really easy!!! There is one part where you are sewing the lining and the outside, that always confuses me, but if you just do what she says, it turns out great and is easy!! I don't usually put as many layers as it says in the pattern, I just do the lining and then the outside fabric.

Steph....sorry about the whip thing. Yeeshhh a little over-dramatic repercussion don't you think? I can't believe they did that to you. I am not competitive. Even when I showed I wasn't really good at it cause of nerves etc. I even got worked up over my daughter's 4H fair horseshow. I don't think we are going to do it again.

And the one I ride. He's an appy (clearly!):

That looks like a horse I use to have, Raspberry! He was NOT a good pony! He use to step on our feet, on purpose! He ran me into a big bush by the side of our house once, and then just stood there so I would get off! Right in the middle of the bush!!!

"Your" appy looks much nicer!!!

I sewed something today!

That is so neat Cathy! Great job!

Here is Jenna and her daddy.

I'm glad it went so well! I can understand your husband being jealous, but I hope he sees that it is good for Jenna to spend some time with her bio Dad too. Can he come with you sometimes when you see him? Does Eddie consider himself Jenna's Dad? This has to be hard for him, but I hope he gets his feelings worked out for the good of Jenna.

And, those cups from Chuck E Cheese, did you know you can take those back on future trips and you don't have to pay for pop? At least that's how it works around here. So, actually, it was a very wise financial choice he made, buying those!

 

[twins4mimi]

Hello, I need help!!! I saw a few months ago tshirts that had mickey heads with different fabrics. You used fabric cut into a large mickey head, transfer paper and puff paint... sounded pretty simple which is what I would have to do, but very adorable. Anyone know what I am talking about??

To answer your questions Eddie does consider himself her dad and he introduced himself to her as her dad. So far DH has been at work the two times that we have seen Eddie.

I did not know that about those cups. I have a ton of them. One from everytime that she has been. (yeah I'm a pushover too!!)

Hello everyone. I haven't been posting lately, just lurking. I am having a hard time finding any sewing time since my dad passed away. I have had to help my mom with so much paperwork, it is crazy. Anyway, I was just lurking and reading, and thought I would post some pics from my april trip. This is one of me and my girls with my SIL and our custom shirts.

Everywhere we went, people asked where we bought our shirts. At Tiffani's custom boutique, of course.

She is so cute! I just read your TR on TGM site last night. Vero Beach looked great.

 

[LisaZoe]

I don't think this is the kind of crying she was talking about. I know it wasn't what I was talking about. I hope nobody was thinking I was saying it harmed kids to know their moms like having them around!

I tell my kids I'm gonna miss them. Drew said, "just go to Target until we get home." So she didn't seemed to traumatized at the thought of me missing her a little!

I'm talking about this lady and her husband at our school who SOB! When Riley was in Kindergarten she was scaring the kids to death. She actually looked at her husband and through her sobbing tears said in an out of control cry voice, "I'm so afraid to leave him here with no one to watch him." As she kept going on and on the kids were getting more and more scared.

I say if you're gonna cry, just do it with a little bit of a sense of humor and kind of tell your kids that you know they are going to have so much fun and you are so excited for them!

Or do what I did and gamble your sorrows away!

I feel sorry for the child. He/she will undoubtedly struggle at every milestone to gain any kind of independence. I think it's fine to let kids know they'll be missed but expressing such thoughts as the above is disturbing.

While I don't tell Zoe I'll be glad to be rid of her , I let her know I'm looking forward to school starting as much as she is. I don't often admit that to other moms because I feel like I'll be judged for not crying or missing her. Zoe and I talk about how much she'll learn, the kids she'll meet, etc. and I also mention what I'll be doing while she's gone. As much as I love her and enjoy being her mom, I think it's important for her to understand that I need time for myself, too. Unfortunately, as a single work-at-home mom, I don't get much time for myself since I can't afford a sitter except on special occasions. Once school starts I'll be able to focus more on taking care of things around the house, working on my business as well as just enjoying some quiet without feeling like I'm neglecting her.

I haven't done this myself so this is just my idea of how I'd do it. I'd get the Heat N Bond Ultra fusible web. It's the kind that should hold without sewing - in fact it really can't be sewn. I'd trace the shape I wanted onto the backing paper, fuse it to the fabric, cut out the shape and fuse it into place. Once that was done, I'd go around the edge with the puffy paint to keep the fabric edge from fraying.

I hope that helps!

 

[LisaZoe]

So, here's what I've been working on recently. These are another step in reducing my tee stash as well as using up some of the miscellaneous fabric from my stash. I have one other set, in pink, in progress. I just need to finish the appliqué of Aurora. My photos are bugging me so I'm going to try for better ones tomorrow.

​

This is a work in progress. It's not quite a UFO but the appliqué is one I cut out months ago and it was smaller than I wanted for the dress I was making then so I put this one away and started over. I'd almost forgotten about it until I was organizing my appliqué folder and found it. This dress is also using up some remnants of fabric from other projects, including the straps that were left overs from past dresses.

Woops, I got that backwards! I meant to ask if your husband considered himself Jenna's dad. I hope everything works out Crystal, because if either one of these guys hurts you or Jenna, they will have US to answer to!

When we went to Chuck E Cheese the other week, I saw a cup with a crown on top that I really wanted!!! But, I resisted! But, I really wanted it!

You guys look so cute! I love those shirts!!! I hope you can get back to sewing soon. I know this must be a really hard time for you.

And, wait a minute! She is posting trip reports over there??? What about here???? Did I miss it??
