Dallas' Wall E outfit! I made the pants about 2 weeks ago and had everything for the shirt, but was putting it off, so I finished it up last night!

Oh, you ask why the word Wall E is crooked! I have no idea besides it was midnight! I swear I made sure it was straight! because I knew it would ruin the whole shirt if it wasn't!!! Dallas doesn't even notice it though.

It looks great! He is a little boy if he is anything like Kyle everything is crocked on him so no one will ever know that it is sewn crocked.

Hi, I finally made it over. I was very depressed yesterday (thanks for the birthday wishes) because the ent (ear, nose and throat) doctor I was supposed to see postponed the appointment to next week because she is stuck in the airport in Atlanta. The new appointment is next week. Fortunately, my husband is smarter than I am and told me to call back and find out if another doctor in the practice could see me sooner, so I am going in Friday. I know my problems pale in comparison to Riley's and others, but I have had earaches and sinus headaches since the end of May so I was really hoping that yesterday would be the day I would get help for them. I can wait until Friday though.

Love all the new stuff. Maybe I will try to sew today to take my mind off of things.

T: I wouldn't worry too much about the cake. I ordered one for Megan the first year we went to the princess lunch in Norway and they forgot it. We ended up going to Beaches and Cream and the cms turned out the light and sang to her when they brought her ice cream. She was much more excited than she would have been had they plopped a cake on the table at lunch. I know I am talking to you, but just try to roll with it and you'll have a great time.

It came out great! Did you machine embrodier the wall-e, or is is applique? I love it! And it doesn't look crooked to me...but who knows!

Hi Everyone,

Well, here are my MT souviniers!! The Kallispell Joann's was AWESOME!! I found the Mickey Disco Dot I wanted for $3/yard!!! They only had about 2.5 yards, but I was very happy! Also, does that striped fabric coordinate with the mickey? It was right next to it, but I wasnt sure. Also got some cool tink, snoopy and poohbear!!! Got some disney cuties for 1.50/yard - not my favorite, but the girls just love it!! All the fabrics were on clearance except the red/black mickey icons and the summer snoopy!!

Wendy

Wow! What great finds! I am looking forward to our MIL trip next month. She has 3 joanns!

Here are a few pictures of Camp Promise. It was a wonderful year - only one incident of seizures and some sunburn - other than that everyone was happy and healthy! It was an amazing time, and I learned so much about acceptance, love and taking life for what ya got. Hopefully the campers learned some things too = lol!!!!

And here is a snow ball for all of you!!

Thanks so much for asking and thinking of us while we were at camp!!!

Wendy

Wow! they looked like they all had fun! Love the boys in their aprons! And look at all that snow. Living in the south, I forgot what real snow looks like!

Here is my latest. The kids wore these to our army family support group picinic.

They came out great! I love the dress!

GOOD MORNING. A quick post before I star catching up. Here is the princess pillowcase top and capris I made for Hannah. I had to upsize the armholes which only went to 7 and for some reason when I look at the pants one leg seems longer than the other but when I fold them in half they match up...I don't have a size 10 model so...I am keeping my fingers crossed that it fits and the legs are the same length.
But anyway, here it is...

I love it! I love that material and I love pillowcase dresses...so I love it all!

Well here is the casual fairy princess so far:

I have make the "fluffy" skirt part and put a hook an eye in the vest part

And here is Logans Big Give outfit- It's not as fancy as I was hoping for but I hope he likes it.

And a little something else for the Big Give #1

And here is the pirate ship, it is coming along nicely a little more paint and it'll be ready for all the little pirates and princesses coming on saturday!

The outfits came out great! and, I love your pirate ship. My girls would go nuts over it. We have a cheesy metal swing set that has seen better days. In fact, next year my vegetable garden is taking over an the swing set is going bon voyage!

forgive me my typos...I am still a little tired.

Feel better Sorry the dr canceled. Happy bday and good luck on friday I hope you get some much needed relief.

It is machine appliqued. I call it cheating! It is one of the few designs I like on the machine! I had it all planned to do by hand but then wanted to try that one out when i saw it.

It is much more satisfying to me to do it by hand.

Hello ladies! Sorry to be such a stranger around here, but I always seem to end up in "catch-up"/window shopper mode rather than having time to post. You ladies amaze me as always with your creativity and productivity.

I'm posting today because I have a few things to share. These are the autograph books that I made for the MAW Big Give #2. I haven't scrapped in ages. These were fun projects.

And here are the outfits that I made the kids for the 4th of July.

First...Good morning!

Next...two cents on the Wal Mart Fabric Dept. One of my Dad's friends and his wife work for a company that supplies fabric to WM (she designs patterns...what a cool job!)...they have been told that yes they will be getting rid of the fabric dept. over the next 3-4 years in all WM. I sure hope it takes a while...there are no other fabric stores in my town! I will have to drive to get to one.

I think that Riley may have another infection. I had a little unpleasant interaction with a nurse I can't stand. She once said when I called in "the doctor doesn't know what else to do and he doesn't know who would so I don't know what you want from me." Yeah, she's not my favorite.

Today she told me that they had decided that Riley would be cath'ed every time she leaves a sample from now on. I had never been told this and I am not really o.k. with them making medical decisions for my child without even asking me. I said NO and gave my reasons and the nurse (I call her hag in my mind!) asked me "what do you want me to do." Before I even knew it, I was being really snotty and said, "well for starters you could show a little compasion and then you can tell the doctor that I would like to discuss this before a decision is made." I know I shouldn't have been so ugly to her, but I've had it!

Basically the doctor is trying to convince me that she hasn't been getting infections that the "clean catch" samples just aren't sterile. Whatever!!!! The cultures have grown out all but a couple of times so this doesn't even make sense. We compromised and agreed that she will leave a clean catch sample (potty in a cup) but we won't start any antibiotic treatment until the culture comes back in 2 days. I told Riley that when she is in a lot of pain we need to do a cath so that she doesn't have to suffer. She pinky promised that she would tell me when it was bad. So now we wait. She says it's not so bad right now. I just hope it stays that way.

I actually overheard the hag nurse say, "I'm not even going in that room" to another nurse that needed some help with the computer. I started laughing and really wanted to call out into the hall, "you want a piece of me" but I wasn't sure she'd see the humor in it! Riley and I did though!

I'm sorry that nurse was so mean! That's just wrong! I'm sorry Riley continues to have problems. I sure hope something works out soon.

Those are cute 4th of July outfits and autograph books! Great job! If you don't mind me asking, how did you make those autograph books? I am going to Disney World in September and we have 5 kids that are going for the 1st time, so I would love to make something for them. Thanks!

I love the Wall E set. Do you mind telling me where you got/bought the Wall-e embroidery design? Is it one of Brother's cartridge?

 

[Clutterbug]

Just wanted to share a few designs! I just finished the pictures up and wanted to share with everyone!

The first one is Abby in a Euro Cinderella hoody top:

Then olivia in her Belle dress:

Then Oliviain her Halloween outfit (I am also maing a Nightmare outfit JUSt like this one I think

These are all so great! I just love knits and I need to learn to sew with them. The cruise sounds fabulous!

Welcome home those outfits are the sweetest!!!

While ya'll were moving the board I went and sent out Hannah's Princess outfit (MAW#1)
I am so nervous, it would suck to be anticipating it's arrival and then it not fit. So keep your fingers crossed for me.

NOW, onto Lily's minnie outfit and Cinderella story book twirl. Which one do I do first. IF I only get one done before Fri. Do I want her to go to 1900 PF princessless or go to MK minnie mouse-less?? The kids all have matching appliqued tees (except Lily's is going onto a peasant top) Goofy, Donald, Mickey and Minnie. I suppose worse comes to worst Lily's applique can go onto a t-shirt like the rest. So I should work on the Cindy twirl???? And who thinks I should do a tutu underneath since I don't have a pettis and we are going to meet Cinderella???? SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!!

And I still haven't decided on a skirt pattern for minnie.

I would say go with the princess twirl first since you already have a plan for that. It will be perfectly appropriate for MK. It will be okay if she's dressed differently because it's her special day! Now get to work!!

Thanks for the reassuring words about the shorts.

Lisa - I think the shorts were perfect. Wyatt is 6 and he would love them!

awww - thanks!

Good to see you posting again Lori!

So I need some inspiration! I'm working on curtains for DD9 for her HM room and I can't seem to get my butt into gear. I've had the fabric for about 6 mo and now I'm finally working on it. The top is going to be a puff valance and then a shear behind it..I know super easy, but I just can't seem to get it done.

Plus the other projects I have keep backing up. I'm actually banned from Joanne's until I finish them . How does everyone finish their projects? How do you stay inspiried to finish?

I say go through your pile of projects and pick the one that is either the quickest or inspires you the most. Once you get going your mojo should come back.

Thanks for the suggestions! I will try them. Last night was awful he is still refusing food which is NOT like him at all! Rhodesian Ridgebacks are known to eat and eat and then throw up and go back for more.

He also peed in the house every few hours all last night it was awful.
this morning I gave him some ginger root water I boiled for him last night with his 1 set of meds in them. He drank it then pottyed outside.

Still o eating though. I think when I run to get the car oil changed today I am going to lock him in the bathroom with some food just incase he has some accidents. Daisy our other Ridgeback is in the crate.

Poor Daisy is so freaked out by him she is hiding under my computer desk right now.

I am really not sure what I am going to do DH said he either starts to eat or collapses and then we do the deed. Problem is if he collapses again I CAN"T get him to the car. There is no way I can ask neighbors again to help me. I can't lift him he is almost a 100 lbs and I have a broken back (spondylilothesis) and major back issues and DH just doesn't get that I can't physically lift him! My neck/shoulder and right hand are already numb from the 1st time trying to lift him. I am a bit freaked because I don't want the kids to see him if he does collapse again.

Sorry I guess I needed to vent...

I hopw your big guy starts feeling better soon.

I really like this set. First one I've seen for a boy I think. I so adore this movie. My daughter has seen it now 2 times, and is actually pushing for a third. I think it's time her Daddy took her Anyway I think the WALL E looks artistic And at least it isn't "sleep bidding" on ebay, it's just sleepy artistic lettering

Thanks so much! I made these autograph books out of some albums that I found at the dollar store. The covers were thin chipboard and they had board book pages. I removed the pages, cut them down, decorated them and used them to reinforce the covers (which I also altered). Then I cut plain cardstock pages. I had intended to alter plain, spiralbound bound books, but of course I couldn't find them anywhere around here and I had to get the books finished this weekend. If I were doing more, I would opt for a pre-made book since it would be sturdier. Last I looked they had lots of styles at Oriental Trading Co.

So sorry you are feeling bad- and on your birthday too! That is just not fair! Hope the doc does wonders for you on Friday.

Whew! I am so glad that you said it was machine done. It is just soooo perfect. I was feeling especially untalented. I too really appreciate the hand pieced ones. I feel a much better sense of accomplishment with those. where did you get the design? I think that my boys NEED that shirt!

Denise,
Before I give up my new addiction to this thread in the name of the Big Give for Karlyn, I really want to respond to this post. I am a pediatric nurse and I work for a group of 48 pediatricians. If you have not done so yet, please tell the doctor what the nurse said and how you and Riley were treated. I would also let him know that you would like to make a written complaint concerning the incident. If the office has an office manager, do the same thing with the manager. You could also contact your insurance company and tell them about this. Sadly, not everyone who works in pediatrics love kids and want the best for them. I agree that if possible, it is probably time to look for another physician that you can communicate with and who will communicate with you. Remember, you are the consumer and it is no different than choosing where you shop. If you don't get good service, let them know, give them a chance to make things right and if it doesn't happen, find someone else who will give you and Riley the care you deserve. I pray for the best for you and for Riley and some answers that will give you comfort and peace.

(Sorry to butt in, but I just had to!)
By the way, I love your name!
Denise (bigdisgrandma)

I have been wanting to post to this thread forever! I was around when the original thread was started (the first part one!) and then got busy and never actually sewed (or finished) anything. Well I finally finished this twirl skirt for my youngest dd!

I am going to sew some decorative buttons on that strip of yellow ribbon as soon as I decide which ones I definitely want to use.

I made this skirt with the original idea of having it to use this summer, but then I got to thinking it would be so cute to have some custom stuff for Disneyworld next May. You can't see, but she is wearing white bike shorts under these. If it ends up being too short next May, I can add another ruffle to add some length. It looked really short when I was holding it up, but I think it looks just the right length actually on her ... right now. But if she shoots up 2 inches by May then we're in trouble, ha ha!

Here is a Euro ruffle that I added to one of the white blocks

Here is an inset ruffle and the yellow ribbon for the buttons

Here is a row of pompons that I added as well

I posted this on several message boards because I'm really proud that I actually FINISHED something, lol. I'm notorious for starting a project and quitting half way through!

 

[CampbellScot]

Hey all!! Just wanted to drop by the new thread and say howdy do! I sort of dropped off the face of the earth for a while.

anyhow...

My Two Tinks:
I hope Riley is feeling better soon. I'm not sure what she's dealing with, but as a child I had massive kidney and bladder infections and issues abound. I wee'd in cups 84,000 times. It sounds like the nurses and doctors are being ugly to you b/c they don't know how to help Riley but instead of saying "We dont' know"...they blame you instead and it sounds like they are making threats as in "Okay well if you INSIST on coming in, then we are going to do something unpleasant to Riley from now on..." as a deterrent to keep you from the office. If a person hasn't experienced kidney and bladder issues, then they don't know the misery...the aches, the fevers, the horrible uncomfortable feeling that you have to wee but can't...or don't really have to. It's wretched.

sounds like it's time to find a new practice. I had some wonderful nurses work with me when I was young and I had some sadistic wenches who told me I was sick all the time b/c I was BAD and that I was going to have to have my kidneys cut out.

nice huh? Don't let them bully you! As someone stated before, you are the consumer. You have a right to a certain level of service. If you don't get it, COMPLAIN...loudly.

hang in there...prayers for Riley!!!
