Disboutiquers Part 7 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[karebear1]

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.

Beautiful baby and beautiful family! CONGRATS to you all!

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.

That is way cool! I love the fabric on the back. Is that an ebay find?

What a beautiful family! All 3 of your princesses are just darling! And you look awesome!!!!!!


Love the criss/cross dresses. I've been on the fence about that pattern. I think my DD-9 is too modest to wear that pattern and I think its a bit "girly" for my tomboy. I did buy the tiered flouncy sundress yesterday. I think I'm going to use the bodice style from that but just do an A-line style for the rest to make a Cars dress for my tomboy.

I love this. I haven't seen the fabric.

I've been thinking about the crayon roll ups now for awhile, and I had a question for someone who has them.
This is the sort of thing that I wil obsess over, so if anyone can shed some light on this, I'd be forever grateful!

I found some Princess and Tink Crayons, but they seemed awfully skinny. I wondered how they would work. I would guess when the crayons get too short, you get new ones.

Everyone else thinks I am crazy and should be locked up because I like Disney too much!!

Everyone here says the same. My sister thinks I need a 12 step program. But I say they are the ones with the problem!

I would have thought medical science had come farther than that

I wouldn't give up tho'. My sister was told my numerous Drs. that she couldnt do anything about her toes. One on each foot is extrememly short. She finally had a Dr. tell her, if she didn't do something about them, she's start to have alot of pain. Well, she went and one foot done, but had alot of trouble with infections. They thought it had something to do with something they used outside the foot. When she went back and had the 2nd one, more infections. They foudn she was allergic to the rod they use. Anyway, she is now getting the pain the Dr. talked about.

Anyway, they might now be able to do anything now, but in a few years, they might. But as long as it doesn't affect her esteme or self worth. I wouldn't worry about it. To, you know where, with people that feel the need to make remarks.

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!

OMG! This came out wonderful!

Congratulations! I wish you many nights of good sleep.

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!

What a cute pillowcase! And really straight stitching. I will not be showing my stitching...I try to use thread that blends in so I don't have to stitch straight!

It is awesome! I love the alien on it! My dd loves that character! Where did you find that fabric on the back.. I can never find cool fabric!

Lilly is beautiful. Really makes me want to have another one. Remind me of the no sleep! You have beautiful girls. I love their hair! and their 4th outfits came out great! Congrats!

I finished school and moved to Staten Island, one day crossing Hylan Bldv (will never forget!!) I went blind and lost consciousness I was taken to Staten Island University Hospital, and there I was seen by the ER doctors that had no idea what was wrong with me , It so happen that a group of medical student were at the emergency room and because I was a "rare" case asked me if they could see me and talk to me, I first did not wanted to speak to this young kids that were not even doctors...after they saw me one of the medical student remembered discussing in class about a medical syndrome called pseudo tumor celebri... I did not fit the profile but the doctors decided to do some test and do a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and the pressure was so high that the doctors could not believe that I still have my sight.

hi i live in staten island and just wanted to let you know that i hope you are feeling better. also i too have a hard time with disney fabric but i go to the walmart right across the bridge in jersey. they usually have 2 or 3 fabrics max

Thanks guys for all the hugs. I have social anxieties, but unlike some people whose anxiety keeps them isolated, mine hits when I'm alone. I can be pretty ok in a group of people (especially w/ a margarita or 2) but then when we leave I think they're all talking about me or before we go I just know that I'm not wanted. BUT my DH makes me go out to all of his gigs, he doesn't like it when I stay home but I much prefer it to going out in public. I am pretty sure everyone is conspiring against me at all times. I hate to project it onto you guys, so I am sorry I mentioned my thoughts of disappearing.
Besides, I am way too excited about the MAW projects to quit cold.
...t.

just wanted to say i understand about anxiety. i had post partum depression after dd and the doc said the best thing( besides meds) was a hobby and friends. i always worried about what people said about me as a mom, friend, etc along with 1000 other worries. just letting you know you are great and everyone of you is a wonderful addition to my world

I've had this done for about a week now, but wanted to wait until the launch before I posted it. DS LOVES it!! Mickey is his favorite right now!

love love love it

Aren't they gorgeous!?!?!?!?!? I bet that baby ends up with that pretty curly hair too!

 

[glorib]

LOVE that!!!! Love all the fabrics-especially the stripes and buzz back-where did you find that buzz fabric? It came out so cute!!! My DD(5) would love that!

I found the fabric actually at Hancock's - but it was about a year ago? A long time, anyway. I haven't been to one in a while, so I'm not sure if they still have it.

Thanks! No Hancock's around here.

So- I hear this big thunk outside and look out the window. Well- it looks as though my recycleable bin has blown off the driveway and into the street. I think that's odd, but go outside to bring it back into the garage. When I turn around to bring it back , this is what I see....

And this is how hard the wind is blowing!

HOLY COW!!!! I had no idea there were even storms in the area! Just had a HUGE thunderboomer over my house!

I LOVE THESE STORMS!

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....

Oh no, I'm so sorry. My prayers will be with you and your family.

We had to put our dog, Tomia, to sleep a little over a year ago. She was 16 years old, but in great health up until the end. Holding her as they put her to sleep was one of the hardest things I ever did. I still miss my little sweetie and still accidentally call to her every once in a while.

Oh no. We lost our kitty in January. It is so hard on the kiddos. I don't know if you have anyone in your family who has passed but we had my dad, grandfather, and best friend who had recently passed away when Cleo went to kitty heaven so we were able to tell DD that they were bored in heaven and wanted a pet so God gave them Cleo because Cleo was sick on earth but in heaven she won't be in pain anymore. It helped a little.

Henry's grandpa passed away a month before Tomia. So, we were able to tell Tessa that Tomia was with Papa Stan. She still talks about them being together in Heaven.

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/

Linnette

What a pretty dog! I'm so sorry you lost her.

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

Very pretty!!!

That is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!! Truly one of my favorites!! I love those little green guys in Toy Story and you did such a great job on the applique. Just too cute for words, and so is your little sweetie!!

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...

should I put a little applique in the shorts or leave them solid color(black) and

is ok to do a tshirt with Goofy on a red tshirt instead of orange

is this lenght ok

Linnette

1. I usually dig through my scraps for applique fabric. But, if I can't find what I need, I go to the store and buy 1/4 yard or something, depending on how wide of a piece I need. Another great place for applique scraps is the remnant bin at the fabric store.

2. I think a little applique would be all right on the shorts, even for an older kid.

3. I think a red shirt would be great with a Goofy applique, especially since it's his favorite color.

4. I think that's a good length. You could go slightly shorter, too. But, I wouldn't go too short for a teenager.

That's just to get you in the sewing mood!

What a beautiful newborn Lilly is!!! These are my favorite pictures and I think you look beautiful! Your girls are all gorgeous!! Love the 4th of July outfits, too! How are you feeling?

 

[revrob]

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.

Thanks! That makes sense! I'll give it a shot!

I LOVE THESE STORMS!

First of all, what are you doing outside taking pictures when the sky looks like that?! Are you TRYING to get struck by lightning? You're as bad as Henry.

Second, you have a GORGEOUS house! Wow! I love your flowers, too. SOO pretty! It looks like you have a very nice valance over your window, too! Pretty tree outside the window and I love the grids in your windows. Now I need more pictures of your house!!

 

[t-beri]

HOORAY a new Lilly for the boutiquers'!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

This is why I live in the lightning capital of the world! BTW your house is gorgeous!!


OK. back to the drawing board. I am thinking mickey patchwork twirl and sewing the story book together w/out any strips in between. the pages are like 7" and there are maybe 10 of them which will make the skirt plenty big for Lily. a peasant top to go w/ the story book and putting the minnie applique on a tank ...it's july and it will be hot.

Wow! Gorgeous house!! Just lovely, really. Also, I LOVE those kinds of storms, too! Well, as long as they aren't the kind that do a lot of damage to people's homes and such. Plus, I don't really like them when I'm at work because I worry about not being at home with the kids and also because storms usually mean a crazy night at the hospital! Gee, I'm not picky or anything, am I?

Are you still working on things for FRIDAY...as in two days from now?!?! You are GOOD. If I was in your shoes, I would have thrown in the fabric (so to speak) and headed to the nearest Disney Store for $3 tees and Target for $3.48 skorts!!!

Send some of that rain our way please! We've had 20 straight months of below average rainfall in my neck of the woods (north AL) . Enjoy the rain!
