Rocky update.

Sadly a few hours ago we had to make the call to say good bye to him. My kids are a mess and Kyle keeps saying 'who can I sing to now?' I tell him me or our other dog Daisy but he keeps saying we don't listen and like it like Rocky did. My heart breaks for them. I knew this was coming since Friday and have been doing my best to prepare them but they are still so young they don't understand just how sick he was and how this is the best thing for him even though it hurts us so much....

I also want to tell you that i am so sorry about Rocky, we had a mutt (rotti/pit-bull mix) " Baby Miller" for 10yrs and she took ill suddenly (kidney failure) we tried in vain to hold on to her and spent a lot of money in treatments that did not work and finally she passed away in my arms my older son was home and it was devastating for him that was over 4mths ago and we still miss her and cry for her to this day, true to her name she was our baby

it will be hard for you and the kids but have comfort in the knowledge that he will no longer suffer and is/will be at peace

MINNIE2 - I just wanted to say I'm so sorry! I know how difficult it is to lose a pet that is a member of your family.



ENABLER ALERT!
I went to Kohl's this morning and stopped by the toddler girl and little girl sections. They had their "jumping beans" line table on sale for 1/2 off. I grabbed several pairs of the little girl denim capris. They're PERFECT for embellishing. I use them a lot for my DD. They have an elastic waist, so they pull on. The front are not elasticized, and have pockets. ANYWAY, I went to check out, and they rang up at $2.40 each! I'm going back to get more, I think. I bought 10 pair - some for my DD, and some that I can use for upcoming Big Give projects. You just can't beat the price!

Oh No...I can never go into Kohls and come out with just one thing!!!

Minnie2 - I am sorry to hear about Rocky.

Our Kohl's is still under construction. Okay ladies, I am leaving work to sew. I am still waffling between making a wrap skirt or a patchwork twirl for MK. I guess I'll have to decide while I'm at Joanns.

Alright, after fighting with Photobucket all morning (I eventually had to have DH upload them) I have pics of the pillow case.

Up close shot of the seam...I even got it pretty straight!

OK ladies and Tom! I've been sewing with my semi-busted machine and here's my latest! It's a case from LisaZoe's giant applique! Thanks Lisa for the inspiration and for being cool about my caseing!

My first plan was to do Baby Jack Jack because he's one of Ella's very favorites, but I wanted to do a trial run first, so I did the little alien from toy Story instead - plus, I wanted to keep it fairly simple! This little guy was pretty easy. One thing about big appliques - if you make a mistake, it shows up easier since it's on a larger scale. Not that I know from experience or anything!

OK, so have I kept you waiting long enough?

I tried to make it kinda big, hoping it would fit for our next trip, but it seems to fit pretty well now. It is shirred in the back, so she has some room there, I guess. And I could always make shorts or capris if the dress becomes too short.

Thanks for the notice. I never think to check Kohl's since there's only one I know about and it's not near most of the shopping areas I hit. Not that I need any blanks but...

That came out great! Although it fits well know, it looks like your DD will have plenty of room to grow. That's why I love that style for tops/dresses. I don't like to make things Zoe will grow out of in one season.

You did a FABULOUS job! It looks GREAT! Do you mind sharing what pattern you used for the dress? I love the way it ties in the back. Very cute!

CRYSTAL :Love, Love the outfits and the FN accessories!!!! So sad I do not have a girl, I was asking my boys if they were familiar with FN books.... I did not get an answer as they are still laughing!!!

Glorib: Love your applique !!!

To you ladies (and Tom) that do applique how do you find the fabric for the applique ? Is that left over fabric or do you look at a design and then buy the fabric to make it...

I told the kids that Polie ( the cat we had to say good bye 2 a few yrs ago) was lonely and wanted his brother with him and that they now had each other. the poor kids wanted to know then who will Daisy have to play with now that Rocky is gone. So I told them she has us but they didn't buy it. Oh well I tried!

thank you every one for your wishes. I think today I will just have a huge bowl of ice cream and let the kids play in the water and hopefully throw myself into finishing Nikki's patchwork skirt. Maybe that will get my mind off things.


Actually I think I am going to go nap I have a huge headache and the ice cream didn't help...

SOOO sorry!!!!!!

Thanks everyone! It was totally fun to make!

As for the pattern, I didn't really use one. Just kind of made it up as I went. For the back, though, I just made a small loop of ribbon in the middle and then tied the ties through the loop.

Okay, I finally made it over to the new thread and we are already about a tenth of the way finished with it! I know I'm not going to have time to catch up, you guys are moving way too fast and I'm trying to sew some too. For anyone that is interested I saw some cute stuff at Joann's yesterday! I am making this a big size font in case anyone who doesn't read everything everyone writes might be interested!

At Joann's in the iron-on section they had very cool black Mickey Silhouettes (like the applique shape) with letters on them in white. They were iron on transfers so you could use them to personalize a shirt or something, almost exactly like the ones in the sticker section for scrapbooking. Thought they might come in handy if anyone is looking for something like that!


Also, Wal-Mart (if you still have a fabric dept.) and JoAnn's both had back to school fabrics if you are looking for them. They were the same prints at both places but Joanns had some extra coordinating prints that Wal-Mart didn't have. Does anyone know if there is a difference in the quality of the fabric since the print design is the same? Just curious!

Those appliques sound cute. How are you feeling? Is baby still easy?

I also want to tell you that i am so sorry about Rocky, we had a mutt (rotti/pit-bull mix) " Baby Miller" for 10yrs and she took ill suddenly (kidney failure) we tried in vain to hold on to her and spent a lot of money in treatments that did not work and finally she passed away in my arms my older son was home and it was devastating for him that was over 4mths ago and we still miss her and cry for her to this day, true to her name she was our baby

Sorry for your loss. She was so cute!

I have to go-I've got a 30% off coupon.

Baby Miller was so handsome! He has such a sweet face and gentle eyes. Like my Rocky. I am sorry. Sounds like you went thought with him what I went through with Rocky.

On a brighter note my step brother's wife had her baby. The sweet guy he is decided to text message his brothers that they are Uncles and have one of them call their father. Nice huh?

Okay, so I'm finally getting some pictures of Lilly out for everyone to see our new addition! I tried to get some done earlier but my computer was acting weird. So here she is! I'm not looking my best in these pictures so forgive me please!

Lilly with the doctor after birth.

Lilly and I right after birth.

Lilly getting weighed and measured. Aren't those little hats cute?

Lilly with her Dad, my DH!

All of us leaving the hospital. Notice the Fourth of July customs for Grace and Claire that I made a few weeks before having Lilly. I love that criss cross dress pattern from YCMT! Hmm, looking at that picture you can see I've got some good drugs in me! Looking a little goofy!

Before checking out of the hospital, one last picture of all of the girls together!

Now if the photographer I had take pictures on Monday night gets back with us I'll have more pictures soon to share, but she was a little flaky so I'm not thinking it will happen too quickly.

Look at you and your Princesses...how sweet is that???
Did you tell us how much she weighed? She looks so tiny!
