[mytwotinks]

I'll add my random photo...here is Ireland at the mall with her daddy..

That is a really cute picture! I love her curls there. I bet this picture is very special to Ireland!

Sorry I am not multiquoting but love all the new customs and random pictures, and sending prayers to all of you who are going through rough times.

Anyway, here is a picture of my BIG GIVE outfit...yes, I am a little behind here and just finish working on Isabel/Alicia's big give outfit recently. I got my dd to model it. It is a little bit big on her, but hopefully it will fit Isabel. She was more interested in watching tv than modeling the outfit for me....

 

[sahm1000]

To everyone going through such rough times right now.

Thanks to HeatherSue for letting me use her Big Give tee as inspiration for this one:

Ohh, another fantastic design Lisa!

I'm so excited! Guess what arrived today!?! My DOUBLE WIDE! My Hoop It All Super Giant Double Wide, that is! It will allow me to embroider a field up to 9 1/2 " x 21 " without re-hooping! I can't wait to get this thing hooked up to my machine and start playing! Anyone have one? What do you think?

Okay, can you explain how to do the machine embroidery? How do you know how big to cut the fabric when you do your design? I'm very !

I love the t-shirt. I missed HeatherSue's because this thread goes too fast and I just can't keep up. I know that I'm missing some good stuff though.

I love the silhouette though. In fact, I made this dress. I actually started it late spring and finished it up a few weeks ago.

Again pics are posted with parent's permission.

Whoops: Sorry pics are so big. Let me see if I can resize them.

Ooh! Love all of the ruffles! It's a beautiful outfit!

If your machine will zig-zag, you can applique with it!

Or, are you wishing you had an embroidery machine? I would LOVE to have one! But, I do like to hand piece the appliques, too.

As Heather said, as long as your machine does a zigzag and you can adjust the stitch length, you can do appliqué. Some ladies do have embroidery machines that do the stitching for them but my understanding is they still have to do all the same prep work of cutting and assembling the pieces. It takes a little patience and practice but I really think most people can do it. In fact, I'm pretty sure many who post their appliqué here first experimented with appliqué as a result of this thread (or previous incarnations of it LOL).



If your DH ever complains about how much fabric you have, you can always point at mine and say "but at least I'm not as bad as her". I think it was Angela, camelotcats?, who had a stash that was probably 3-4 times the size of mine. When I saw hers I didn't feel so bad about how much I buy.

Yeah, I have kind of figured out the hand appliqueing rotfl2: but not to the extent that you have) but only done a few Mickey heads - I haven't ventured out any further than that. But I don't understand the machines that do it for you. How do you know how to cut out the fabric? That really confuses me!

Let me introduce you to my favorite drink in the world right now...Caffeine Free Diet Coke. I am still nursing Miss Molly and it has been my savior through the pregnancy and since she was born. I do allow myself to have one "leaded" version every couple of days, usually in the morning when I get to work. It is my "coffee".

Yeah, I know about Caffeine Free Diet Coke but it doesn't have the same "kick" as the regular stuff. And I know it is horrible for me but I love it!

Alright ladies it's time for me to go home. My sugar craving did pass after a couple spoonfuls of Dark Chocolate Dream peanut butter. Now I'm just hungry- it's dinner time.

I am off to go home and figure out my plans for our trip to WDW in 3 weeks. To see whether or not I want to try to put together a twirl for Lily or work on some of my plans for our OCT. trip and let her wear them more than once.

Maybe I'll work on something tonight- If I don't crash on the couch

...t.

After seeing your previous post on the Dark Chocolate Dream I spotted it at the grocery store today and bought it! It is really good! It's not nutella (which I adore) but I would highly recommend it! I'm eating it as I type and so is Claire. She thinks it is pudding but keeps saying it is yummy!

Also our store had a white chocolate version but I didn't buy it. Does anyone know how that is?

Another snack we love around our house is Clif brand Kids Organic Z bars. They are really good too. We like the Chocolate Brownie and Chocolate Chip flavors. Our Super Target has them if anyone is interested in them but they put them in a weird place, kind of by the pharmacy section with all of the other nutritional bars, not by the cereal.

I can not sew a lick but my DD 7 would really like a Blue Belle dress to wear to the Princess breakfast. Is there anyone on this thread that could make one? I would definitely pay whatever it is worth I have not been able to find the blue outfit anywhere only the ball gown Feel free to pm if you want to-Thanks

Hello all you wonderfully talented people. I have been reading all these posts for a couple of weeks and I am amazed and inspired by all of you. I do sew but for the past few years just quilts. I am beginning to get stoked to do some sewing for my kids now.
The reason I am posting is because I may have a solution for the "non flared skirt". I made a formal dress for my daughter a few years ago and to have the bottom flare without a crinolin (sp?) I was instructed to sew horsehair braid into the hem. It is a woven braid that is about 3/4 of an inch wide and it gives a bit (not too much) of stiffness to the bottom of the skirt causing it to fan out. I am not explaining it very well here is a tutorial on using it and she does a better job. http://www.expertvillage.com/video/16290_sew-horsehair.htm
Hope that help and keep up the good work everyone
Christine

To all of the newbies!

 

[sahm1000]

So maybe this one would be more accurate

Look at poor Maddy no wonder we ended up at the Pedatric urgent care instead of the Magic Kingdom

She didnt get to enjoy the breakfast with her Favorite, Minnie After breakfast we ended up going back to the townhose and then to urgent care. Where she had to have 2 breathing treatments and a SHOT of steriods!

Poor baby! Stuff like that isn't supposed to happen at WDW!

There were some really pretty things posted today!!! I loved all of them! T!!!! You got CASED!!!!! How cool is that!!!! I love all the random pictures you guys are posting!!!

Thanks Heather for bringing up my green pooh



fabric!

One time when Heather was about 3, she came running down the stairs at our house yelling, "David is reading Teresa's brown diarrhea!!!"

He was reading my diary.

I have a really great picture of one of Heather's first modeling gigs! She was modeling some workout wear!!! She has absolutely FORBIDDEN me to post them though!!!! Lucky for her my scanner isn't working!


My prayers will be with everyone that needs them tonight. QUOTE]

Please, Please share the pictures! That is just teasing us!

grrrrr. I just got a speeding ticket on my way home from work. I haven't gotten a ticket since high school. And that was a long time ago. I was soooo tired and just distracted thinking about one of the babies I took care of last night - did I chart that med? I know I gave it, but did I chart it . . . flashing lights. . . ma'am did you know you were speeding? I'm so mad at myself. There goes my fabric money for the month. . .

good night, all. I need some sleep!

Oh, that sucks! My DH seems to get tickets all of the time and it burns me up! I hate wasting money. You were coming from work (as a nurse especially) and he wouldn't give you a break? I thought most cops usually gave nurses "warnings". My friend is an ER nurse and she always got "warnings" when she got pulled over. Of course I think she also let it be known that she was a nurse (like putting her stethoscope on her rear view mirror, etc.).

George and I meeting the members of Journey a few yrs ago. I am the fat one in the front with the black coach purse and blonde hair. It was HOT and may hair frizzed!

Meeting some members of Def Leppard

This one is For Either Teresa or Heather I can't remember which one we had the Corey hart talk and I said George lets me have my Dl guitarist crush well my hubby is so good he got me seats for a show this close! Front row!

Yeah I am a nerd and proud of it! And YEs He knows I would leave him for this man too. Heck he would leave me for Jennifer Love Hewitt

Back to your regularly scheduled sewing!

Journey and Def Leppard? That is pretty funny!

I shouldn't talk since I adore Barry Manilow! And I made my DH go see him in concert in February with me. God I love that man (Barry, not dh ).

My "freebie" would probably be Bono. My DH says he doesn't have one that he only wants me. Whatever!

OK everyone- are you ready for today's trip?? Well, if you're not- then get ready! It's gonna be a long day as we will walk around Portland, OR then go to the coast in Oregon and back to see some scenic beauty at Multnomah Falls.


We begin our journey with a lovely sunset viewed from our overnight accommadations at Hotel Happy Valley- ah!

Up bright and early for our big walk! Off we go to the Portland Marathon. Don't worry- we're just gonna do the Mayor's Walk portion of it- and we'll take it slow so everyone can enjoy! Portland is PROUD of all it's steel bridges that cross over the Willamette River that flows through downtown Portland.

DANG IT!! I forgot my fanny pack!

There now- we're finished! See?? I told you it wouldn't ake long!

Now that we're done, we can change our clothes and head off to the coast... but look what we find along the way: Isn't this just perfect?

FINALLY! We arrive at the coast. Now- it may be gray and cloudy, but it's still rather romantic isn't it?

5 fanny packs to anyone that can guess what this is!

And look who else we met there! this poor little Sock Monkey was sitting on the beach in TEARS, SOBBING something about Dis something or others not liking him. I felt so bad for the little guy, that we picked him up and took him home.

We'll now leave the coast and head back inland to Multnomah Falls- This place is absloutely breathtaking! A look from the bottom:

And from the top!

That's it for today's trip. Tomorrow- it's a SURPRISE! But here's a clue.... we're heading back towards the East to a place that some of our friends here are very familiar with!

Loving your trips Karen! Keep up the good work!

 

[lovesdumbo]

Also, I meant to ask if anyone has every retrieved anything from mousekeeping that they left in a room? I had Lily's lanyard in my hand in the morning but it didn't seem to make it back into the luggage. By the time we drove to the poly to pin do some trading I realized it was missing.. you should've seen me digging through the suitcases in the parking lot.

We called the resort 3 times (the first only an hour or so after we'd checked out) and noone had any word for us but they said to call back later in the week b/c sometimes lost items are in "transit" for a few days until they reach the lost and found.

It bums me out b/c she is little and doesn't trade really so most of her pins were gifts or commemorative of an event (like her dinner w/ cinderella) She probably had 10 or 12 of them. Mostly cinderella and princess like pins. I think we will NOT be getting it back.

...t.

I took my youngest to Pop in May. It was her first one on one trip with me and she was very excited about the trip. I give my kids a $25 spending limit for a trip. She told me months before the trip that she wanted to get a stuffed Timon and pen, and matchbox car, and I forget now what else but Timon was #1 on her list. Would you believe I forgot to look for it at AK but we found it at the toy store at DTD. Our last night at Pop a friend met us there and we were walking around and Emma had her Timon. I was taking picture of her and saw her put Timon down and then of course forgot about him. We got back to room and I was packing when Emma realized we lost Timon. My friend went out looking for him, I went to the front desk but no Timon. We checked the next morning and headed to Epcot. I couldn't find Timon there so I left Emma with my friend and went to DTD. I just couldn't go home without the #1 thing she had been talking about for months. We also lost a hat on that trip-only I didn't know if we lost it at Epcot, DTD, Pop, BC or on a bus. When I got home I called the park Lost & Found, DTD Lost & Found, BC Lost & Found, and Pop Lost & Found. No luck but I kept calling for days. I never did find the hat but Pop Lost & Found (after it got transfered out of the resort) did find Timon and they sent him to us. Now we have Timon & Uncle Max. I think Timon was at the resort front desk that very first night we lost him but they didn't know who Timon was. When I finally got the person who did find him she wasn't sure which character he was.


.....SO....there is hope for your pins. I hope they find them!!!!!!!!!!

I made the pillowcase before we left. I just used pink material to match DD's room and appliqued a Mickey Head on the front. The embroidery hoop was great in keeping the fabric taut - the characters were easily able to sign and I could "orchestrate" where they signed to keep things balanced. I really should take a picture of it now.

Would love to see it. I should post pictures of one I did for my DS but I didn't make the pillowcase.

First off -
Sorry I haven't been able to keep up here lately - we have been in and out of town and are leaving again tomorrow! I do try to peek through and always love seeing what you all are creating.

I wanted to share what I finished for Emma today - I fell in LOVE with this fabric at the sewing expo and have had it sitting here for a couple of months. I am pretty happy how it turned out. Thanks for letting me share!

That is wonderful! Love that fabric!

Sorry I am not multiquoting but love all the new customs and random pictures, and sending prayers to all of you who are going through rough times.

Anyway, here is a picture of my BIG GIVE outfit...yes, I am a little behind here and just finish working on Isabel/Alicia's big give outfit recently. I got my dd to model it. It is a little bit big on her, but hopefully it will fit Isabel. She was more interested in watching tv than modeling the outfit for me....

SO cool!!!!

Yeah, I have kind of figured out the hand appliqueing rotfl2: but not to the extent that you have) but only done a few Mickey heads - I haven't ventured out any further than that. But I don't understand the machines that do it for you. How do you know how to cut out the fabric? That really confuses me!

I was so confused by that too. I asked last week how they work when I was looking at machines. I did NOT buy an embroidery machine. SO....you have a pattern and cut out the pieces. You can get an adhesive that irons onto the fabric before you cut it out like wonder under but the adhesive under the paper is pressure sensitive so you don't have to iron it on. So you have all your pieces cut out and the machine first stiches in straight stitches the placement for the piece so you know where to put it-with the pressure sensitive (repositionable) adhesive you don't have to iron it in place. You've got as wide as the satin stitch is to be a tiny bit imperfect in cutting and placement.

 

[sahm1000]

I have a favour to ask you ladies! The next time you're at Target / WalMart / CVS / Walgreens / someplace similar can you look at the adhesive eye-patches? Would you be able to let me know if any stores carry the cute printed ones & how what the cost is? I payed 10,99$ for one box of 20 Nexcare junior orthoptic eye-patches. If I can get them printed I know that DD would prefer them! Thanks so much - a big Montreal two cheek kiss to you!

Stephanie

I'll look the next time I'm out!

And here is Mac's old room. We did a makeover for his 6th birthday while he was away w/ his bio-dad for the weekend

It seems the only pics I have of the mural from the digital are ones in progress, so they'll have to do.
My FIL and B built the bed and the desk. My MIL, mom and I made the valance (we hand stamped all of the leaves) and my mom made the tiger skin rug and matching pillow.

Mom working on the mural (my mom, B and my FIL all painted the mural, I painted the walls greed )

B painting the tiki (can you spy it in the picture above this one?)

th_

Mom working on the tiger

Ken hanging the valance...a week or so later the bamboo blinds i'd ordered finally came, I wish I had a pic of them too.

a kinda finished pic

Mac was SURPRISED

We were only there another year before we moved and his room now is just white and nothing even decorated, we've been there for 3 years. We have vowed to get his and lily's rooms done before the end of the year though. We feel bad that we haven't done them yet. There's so much to do in a new house!!!

Cool room!

Oh nuts! That still sounds like a lot of work! I was hoping it would be super easy!

 

[sohappy]

I am on really, really quickly. It has been a crazy day. I wanted to say:

2bforhim- Love the pics of the vacay (yes, I am that far behind), looks like a blast. You are sadly mistaken if you think that you look bad in the swimsuit. I will not be posting any of me. . .until I loose weight!

Jham- Cooper saw Lily's pic and said "ooohhh Lily, can I play dolls with her, I bring my Lilo." Lilo is his favorite baby that no one is allowed to touch.

And last but not least----

I GOT THE PROMOTION!! I just found out. I will have a transition period, but the raises that I have gotten this year (22.5%) will make it worth it. Feb Dismeet here I come!!! I might just have to bring the kiddos too!

 

[t-beri]

STACY- btw you are gorgeous!! I'm SOHAPPY for you If I remember correctly this might mean another participant in the dismeet

 

[ncmomof2]

Here is what I made today. When I was in the doctor's office this week I noticed a girl's dress that was made like this, shirred some space and then shirred again. I like how it turned out. I ment it to be a shirt but once I added the ruffle it is long enough to be a dress.

 

[revrob]

Okay, can you explain how to do the machine embroidery? How do you know how big to cut the fabric when you do your design? I'm very !

Yeah, I have kind of figured out the hand appliqueing rotfl2: but not to the extent that you have) but only done a few Mickey heads - I haven't ventured out any further than that. But I don't understand the machines that do it for you. How do you know how to cut out the fabric? That really confuses me!

I print out a template, cut sorta around it, spray it with temporary spray, put it on the fabric I'm going to use, trim around on the line, stitch the first line of stitches, spray the back of the fabric with temporary spray, lay it down inside the line that you just stitched and resume stitching.



OK! I sewed today! I did a little m2mg work this afternoon.

Ready for school!

STUPID PHOTOBUCKET! I Promise I resized and rotated. Maybe it'll catch up later.

 

[princessmom29]

Hi guys!!! I went shopping toady and have a few products to share is the quest to eliminate HFCS.
1. Heinz makes organic ketchup. Tastes like the regular stuff
2. Skippy all natural peanut butter. Peanuts, Salt, Palm oil that's it. Half the price of the other all naturals!
3. Bertoli organic spagetti sauce. Only about 20 cents more a jar than regular, and really good. We had it for dinner tonight!
4. Quaker natural harvest granola bars. I like them better than the regular one, and DD who has never cared for anything with that gariny texture loved them.
Found all this at target and the bill was about the same as normal!! I am encouraged.

I love this style, and the dots! You know you've become obsessed when you see something in the store or on someone and think, hmmm I could totally recreate that!

I print out a template, cut sorta around it, spray it with temporary spray, put it on the fabric I'm going to use, trim around on the line, stitch the first line of stitches, spray the back of the fabric with temporary spray, lay it down inside the line that you just stitched and resume stitching.

This is so sweet! I love it as the dress. Reminds me of Minnie.

.....SO....there is hope for your pins. I hope they find them!!!!!!!!!!
.

We lost our Dear Sweet Betty. She's about 3yo. We left her in the stroller and think another little kid picked her up. Who would have thought, after all, she has dread locks. Anyway, it took about 3 days and she finally showed up at the lost and found. A wonderful CM called us and went out of her way to get her to us at the hotel.

We also lost one of those kids cameras. It was in the hotel L&F, we got it back on our last day, when we realized it had disappeared.

I got a post card once saying I left something in my room. I called about it, but it wasn't from our room, it had boys clothes with it. And I know that luggage pick up has found things we left and brought it down with our luggage. I have no idea where it was (I don't even remember what it was), I looked in all the draws and under the bed. It had to be in the bedding. I was impressed!

[LisaZoe]

Ahhhhhhh-HA!!! Welcome to the cool club! So... who else wants to come clean? Hummmmmmmmmmm??? Come on Teresa and Heather- 'fess up!

You can add Zoe to the club.

OK! I sewed today! I did a little m2mg work this afternoon.

Ready for school!

That is really cute. It reminds me that I need to start thinking of somethings to make for Zoe for "back to school".

You have been sewing alot! The outfit is really cute! Are you in NC? Where?
QUOTE]

I am no longer in NC. We moved to TX over a year ago. We were in Raleigh for about 10 years. I have been sewing alot. I do this with crafty things and it makes my DH laugh. I start something new and go crazy! I assume this will last until our trip in Sept then I will cool off until next summer. We will see! I taught myself to knit a few years ago and knit for a few months making Christmas presents, I have not kintted since I hope to keep up the sewing. I have continued my bow making that I started about a year ago.
