thanks all
I'm so sorry about your Mom.:hug: I have no idea how to prepare your daughter. When Grandma was in the hospital the other week, Lydia asked me if she was going to get better, and I really didn't know, so I told her that the doctors were trying to help her, but we didn't know what was going to happen, so Lydia wanted to pray for her. That seemed to help. :hug:

That is a very cute outfit!
and your pictures are a great size!

Wow, 21 months without dairy products is very impressive! I don't think I could do it!

Thankfully, with all of the pixiedust and prayers sent our way, Lilly seems to have gotten over the gas. Thanks to everyone who sent us some, we really appreciate it! I guess I'll just avoid onions in case that is what bothered her. I'd much rather skip onions and have a happy baby than eat them and have her cry for hours. Onions really arent' that big of a sacrifice, not like dairy!



Prayers and pixiedust: are being sent your way!
I'm glad Lily is doing better!

BIG GIVE FINALLY DONE (ALMOST)

All I have left is final assembly of bodice to skirt portion and then I am done. the facial features are drying so that will have to wait until the morning. i am also making bows to go with it. Do you think I should add pom pom trim around the top part of the ruffle on the skirt part? I am thinking it might look good but am not sure. I was thinking yellow. What do you ladies and Tom think? I will have Roseanna model it tommorrow afternoon before I ship it. I want to finish the bows first.

WOW! That is amazing!!!

boy, a bunch of my multiquotes disapeared!!! Some gorgeous houses pictures were posted!!! And, those towel pants are cute!!

And, I think it was Lovesdumbo that commented on my new bookmark link, Thanks! ;) That was one sweet machine, it used glue to sew! Don't you just love my haircut?? It seems I had a series of unfortunate haircuts! I just HATED that haircut though! I thought it was ugly at the time!
 
I almost forgot, I found a really cute reversible wrap skirt tutorial today. Heather told me I should post it so everyone was sure to see it!

http://whatdidshedotoday.wordpress....er-tutorial-for-the-wrap-skirt-april-26-2008/

This lady also has a cute little wrap dress tutorial on her site.

I put these in the bookmarks too. Actually, I think maybe I still need to add the dress one, but I'll get to that tomorrow, I need to get to bed!!!
 
disneylovinfamily- WOW That is definitely worth waiting for!! :worship: to your applique skills!!


We had a great day the boys had so much fun at the play! It was hilarious.

And I decided on stiffened ribbon for the hair, it's already dry just need to cut and glue it on. Lucas said his mermaid has black hair so black it is! I didn't have any blonde-ish light brown colored ribbon.
THANK YOU so much for the ideas!! My mind is turning into mush.
I love planning and having fun theme parties but by the finals days before the party my creative juices start to run a little low.I start to get :confused: and :eek: Maybe its lack of sleep. Like a zombie syndrome or something.
Well anyway I'll have lots of pictures sunday or monday!! I'll just have to catch up then! Good night ladies & Tom!
 
BTW, Glad to hear that Jenna is feeling better today. Aisling is anxiously awaiting for her playdate in Lousiana!
I'm glad that the playdate is for here. I don't think I could convince DH to fly two places in one year. :lmao:

OK LADIES (AND TOM) IS OFFICIAL I DO NOT FEEL LIKE SEWING AT ALL!!!!:scared1: I HAVE NOT STARTED WITH MY PROJECTS YET,NOT EVEN GETTING THE FABRIC THAT I ORDERED ONLINE (FINALLY!!!) HAS GOT ME IN THE MOOD:sad2::confused3 :confused3 :confused3 I HOPE THAT I FEEL LIKE SEWING TOMORROW!!!



we live in an apartment in Brooklyn (rented) and you will think that for the amount of money we pay monthly(2,000+) will be better looking :sad2: and bigger!!! I have to give the master room to my boys and take the smaller room for me and my husband, the bed along takes over the room :lmao: :lmao: and I do my sewing in my bed (pathetic huh???)and my bathroom is a joke... you have to close the door to be able to fit in it:rotfl2:
in the funny side my husband is 6'5 , 250lb and the toilet is too small for him:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :lmao: he can only accommodate half of his b**t in the toilet seat:rotfl2: (I am 4'11 so I am so glad for my compact size:rotfl: )



But in two more years he will retire and we will be moving to Oklahoma or Shreveport depending where my sister will go (she is in the Air Force) we will buy a house then, until then I will keep dreaming;)

Linnette

Teresa: anything yet????:)
My vote is for Shreveport. It is only two hours away from someone who sews:rolleyes1 .

I know I dont post that often,but would you mind keeping my family in your prayers.My mom was put into ccu yeterday afternoon with pneumonia and kidney failure its not looking good at all,I just got back from the hospital after being there all night last night(my dh made me come home to sleep but I cant) she is the only blood relative I have left,I dont know what I will do if we lose her or even how to prepare my dd for this.any ideas?
thanks all
:hug: I am so sorry to hear this. I sure hope your mom gets better soon.:hug:
 

Yeah, I know I said goodbye and I know it's 2:04 am but I am printing out Lily's birthday shirt and haven't got to her minnie skirt. I still have 3 hours to pack and sew???? Ya think I'll make it?:rotfl: :rotfl: I am giving up on the skirt probably but at least her Cinderella outfit got done. Though she doesn't want to wear it over her petti she threw a fit. She just wants to wear the petti by itself...I can hardly blame her. She came in and told me that her stepsisters ripped it.:laughing: I can't wait till she meets them!!!
well, it sounds like the printers done, so I guess I'd better go home and iron this on and finish up my RIP HEATH shirt for the Batman opening.:surfweb: I'll probably sleep through it:3dglasses

Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend

BTW when I get home and am less pressed for time I'm gonna have to try some of those towel pants....very cool:cool2:

...t.
 
i am on my way. I would like to say that I was on time . I haven't gone to bed but I was on time. My family however, well let's just say think we'll be seeing the good morning song.
Hope it is a beautiful day in your neighborhood

Hi, NEW to this board--I was sent here from the DISIGN Board. Wondering if anyone makes quilted bags or knows where I might find a pattern for them.
Thanks

I so totally undertand Linette. I grew up in Queens in an apartment with 6 people. my parents, myself and 3 brothers. We had one bathroom to share, and yes you had to close the door to pee! We did have 3 bedrooms, but my brothers had the master bedroom and my parents got the smallest bedroom! I had the middle one. We moved to Long Island when I was a teenager into a 2 bedroom apt with even less space! At one point I slept in the closet under the stairs! Once I moved away to the south and got married I finally can sleep in a real room! So, it will come your way too!

Here are the towel pants! They were quick, fun and cute!

th_100_6388.jpg


th_100_6392.jpg


Dallas' are about 2 inches too long (i didn't hem either side) and want to make sure they fit for next year, as he grows up hopefully they'll just turn into shorter capri style and fit for years!

th_100_6394.jpg


my friend's daugher we decided to do more capri-ish.

i can't wait to do more and love how the characters fell just right with a little though! now don't everyone go and buy towels before Dallas gets a pirate and power rangers pair! lol!

Sorry, the shift key is messed up and doesn't work all the time!

They came out so cute! They would be a hit at the pool! We still have some towels ons sale at Disney store...they are buzz and tink....maybe I will have to try some!

Saying a prayer for your mom. Hope you can help dd with the loss.

:worship: WOW! that i AWSOME! You are AWESOME! The pictures are great. I can tell a lot of hard work went into it. cAn't wait to see it all together!
 
I need some pixiedust sent my way! Something I ate has upset Lilly's stomach and she has GAS! It happened with both of my girls when they were infants and I was able to figure out that cabbage (from Cole Slaw and Chinese food) upset Grace so I never ate that again and I still won't eat it when I am nursing and corn upset Claire. So clearly I have been avoiding those foods this time around. But I haven't eaten anything that I can think of that should have upset Lilly. The only thing that I can think of that might have upset her is onions. I made shrimp fried rice last night and it had some onions in it, but not a huge amount. Poor baby has had two bouts of bad gas and she will finally poop but scream when she does. We are giving her mylicon which seems to help but I really can't figure out if it is the onions. How do you avoid eating onions - they are in everything it seems!

I just put her down for a nap and I am hoping she stays asleep. My DH just went to the gym and took Grace and Claire so I have the time if Lilly cooperates to cut out fabric for the girls back to school dresses. Wish me luck!

how is she doing this am?

YOU AND Heather live in my dream houses!!! Wow ladies!

The only kinda "nice" part of my house is my backyard
backyard.jpg

backyard2.jpg
I would love to live on the water!

I love old homes! They have a character that newer homes just don't have.Unfortunately, I just don't have the patience to restore one! I have a friend that owns a big ol' beautiful Victorian home that she has turned into a B&B (www.honeybeeinn.com)- it's gorgeous.... but I sure as heck wouldn't want to do all the work she's done to make it that way! I've often said that if I could buy an old home that was already restored, I'd do it in a minute. It takes a special kind of person, with the patience of Job to restore one of these kinds of houses! Anyway- I would love to see pics of your home!
Here is a picture of the original fireplace in our house. It is right behind me in the office. I took it right after we painted over the god awful wallpaper that was in here!
DSCN0782.jpg


this is a picture from Christmas eve that is why it is so dark. It is from the living room ad you can see the foyer and the stairs in it. My stairs are the same stair that are in our Town Opera house since my house was built by the same people who built the opera house in town.
Yeah I know lots of presents from Santa my kids are spoiled:rotfl:
IMG_4056.jpg


This is looking out the window from the kitchen.
DSCN0778.jpg

You all have seen the floors when I have posted picts of stuff I have made. We still have the original inlay hard wood from 1891. Which has been destroyed by our dogs. SHHH don't tell DH he hasn't noticed:rotfl:
You all have also seen the dek because that is where I take a lot of the picutre and the god awful mint green that the house is painted. It is a victorian so I guess it has to be an funky color. We call it out painted lady like in San fran wit the old victorians. Hey I can dream can't I:lmao:

I couldn't get any other pictures to upload for some reason. Right now my house is trashed from the past week but I will take some once I get it cleaned for Kyle's bday party next weekend.
 
Heather - Thanks for sharing the pictures of your house! I love your green too! We have a little bit of the vaulted ceiling/slanted wall thing going on too, so I liked seeing how well yours flows. Everything here is just white right now. Of course, my whole living/dining/kitchen/entry would fit in your living room...:rotfl:


Glad the picture posting helps you with your color choice- but now we need to see pics when you're done painting. Make them before and afters so we can see the change - ok?? ;)

I will share, but it will probably be a while. This will be a fall/winter project since we have lots of outside projects to keep us busy right now.

What brand/color is your green?


I had asked about them and whipped up 2 pairs yesterday too! i loved them and can't wait to make more. The kids loved them and put them on after playing on the water slide and wouldn't take them off all night!

i'll try and post pictures later!

Thanks for the idea! Here are my towel capris in action.

I know I dont post that often,but would you mind keeping my family in your prayers.My mom was put into ccu yeterday afternoon with pneumonia and kidney failure its not looking good at all,I just got back from the hospital after being there all night last night(my dh made me come home to sleep but I cant) she is the only blood relative I have left,I dont know what I will do if we lose her or even how to prepare my dd for this.any ideas?

My father passed away 2 weeks ago and I started preparing my children by telling them he was sick and wasn't going to get better. Everyday as the situation presented itself I'd tell them how sick he was. Now, depending on your religion that can come into play and you didn't mention that so I don't know. We're Baptist so I brought our beliefs in about heaven and what it's like, on a child level. The morning he died my husband told them, I just couldn't and then we talked about how much we'd miss him and that it's ok to miss him but then bringing our religious beliefs into it again. I didn't have them attend the funeral services. Whatever you say, however you say it, it won't be easy and it's ok for them to see you upset about it (but not psycho), but at same time you have to be strong for them. I would start preparing your child now. I'm not sure of the age either of your child which plays into it.
 
here you go...here are some pics of my ugly house!

I should explain why there is a palm tree in a HSM bedroom...her room USED to be Lilo and Stitch and I like the palm tree so I left it up

Aoldroom.jpg


Aoldroom2.jpg


You'll see what i'm talking about by the "no charm" thing...notice how everything is a little crooked? It's not my camera!!!
What do you mean ugly? I like it!

Oh I wish it was something as exciting as a whole lake! It's really just a small pond (only about a half mile around) But we do get some interesting wildlife back there. The only part I like about it is that my room is in the back of the house and the way our bed faces I literally look out onto the water when I am in bed. It is pretty. BUT the rest of my house is just downright ugly and rather embarassing. But we rent it (yes, I spend money every year to go to Disney and don't own my home...I'll put on my flame suit now!) But, in my town you can't get a condo for under $400,000 (and we want a single family home) so we are saving and plan to buy next year (when half my pay check isn't going to day care!)
No flaming here! You have to do what you have to do right? I grew up in a 2 family house my parents didn't own and we had a boat. No one under stood why my parents would have a boat but not invest in a house. They felt if they couldn't afford a house then at least they would take a nice vacation every yr.

We rented for a few yrs before we built our house in GA. When we lived in Nj there would have been NO way in heck tat we could have afforded to buy a house. That is why we moved to GA.
OK LADIES (AND TOM) IS OFFICIAL I DO NOT FEEL LIKE SEWING AT ALL!!!!:scared1: I HAVE NOT STARTED WITH MY PROJECTS YET,NOT EVEN GETTING THE FABRIC THAT I ORDERED ONLINE (FINALLY!!!) HAS GOT ME IN THE MOOD:sad2::confused3 :confused3 :confused3 I HOPE THAT I FEEL LIKE SEWING TOMORROW!!!
we live in an apartment in Brooklyn (rented) and you will think that for the amount of money we pay monthly(2,000+) will be better looking :sad2: and bigger!!! I have to give the master room to my boys and take the smaller room for me and my husband, the bed along takes over the room :lmao: :lmao: and I do my sewing in my bed (pathetic huh???)and my bathroom is a joke... you have to close the door to be able to fit in it:rotfl2:

I hope the sewing mood strike for soon! I enjoy seeing your creations!

I wouldn't be able to afford anything n Brooklyn either! My brother lives there and things are VERY$$$$$$$ They can only afford a loft.

We gave up our master to Nikki with the intention of redoing the bonus room attached to the bedroom we took. We figured we could make it a master bath or a cedar closet. Well let's just say it is still a bonus room and my king sized bed barely fits in it! I went from a HUGE master bedroom in GA to a small bedroom with a small closet in a victorian! Our bathroom sounds like yours too :rotfl: Since we have a victorian that is old it only really has 1 bathroom and you never have any privacy EVER! If the kids aren't there with me it is the dog. I look forward to one day taking a shower with out interruption.:confused3 :rotfl2:

I am just stopping by to say See Ya REAL SOON!!!

Nothing is finished and it is late and I am frustrated w/ everyone I know and I am on my way home to try to wash pack and sew. Oh and go to wally world.

I'll be back monday w/ pics.

Have a great weekend! Hold down the fort for me.
Have a fun safe trip!

Here are the towel pants! They were quick, fun and cute!

thanks all
I am so so sorry. I know loosing a dog is o comparison but when we just lost our dog he was really sick so we were just honest with the kids and said he was very sick. When he was at the puppy hospital we told the kids they were trying to make him better but there were no guarantees. When the time came and we did have to say good bye I told them it was for the best and that he was in heaven with our at Polie and they were together playing . He was in no more pain but he would always be with them in their heart.

I am sorry I pray a miracle happens for you and your family.

All I have left is final assembly of bodice to skirt portion and then I am done. the facial features are drying so that will have to wait until the morning. i am also making bows to go with it. Do you think I should add pom pom trim around the top part of the ruffle on the skirt part? I am thinking it might look good but am not sure. I was thinking yellow. What do you ladies and Tom think? I will have Roseanna model it tommorrow afternoon before I ship it. I want to finish the bows first.

Your house is adorable! But I can understand being where you aren’t truly content. We built a detached garage with a 1 bedroom apartment and lived in that for almost 2 years while we built our house – a family of five! Talk about togetherness!
The only "cool" thing about my house is, it is only 20 minutes from WDW!
That is SO not fair!!
Glorib – your alien dress is so cute! Now if only my 9 year old would wear something like that…hmmm….

Quick Question... Were you able to make the towel capris out of 1 towel or 2? I am thinking 2, but want to make sure before I buy. THANKS!

BTW... I am almost done with my first twirl skirt... Hannah Montana one. I work Full Time, so my sewing time is limited. Anyhooo... I didn't use a pattern and it is turning out LOVELY. A friend is going to WDW in a couple of weeks and wants me to make her 2 skirts for her girls. I will hopefully post a pic this weekend.

The morning he died my husband told them, I just couldn't and then we talked about how much we'd miss him and that it's ok to miss him but then bringing our religious beliefs into it again. I didn't have them attend the funeral services. Whatever you say, however you say it, it won't be easy and it's ok for them to see you upset about it (but not psycho), but at same time you have to be strong for them. I would start preparing your child now. I'm not sure of the age either of your child which plays into it.

Sorry about your dad :hug:

all these outfits are amazing!!

One question - what is the big give?

Many of us have been creating outfits and "pixie dust" for some DISers who are about to leave on Make-a-Wish trips to Disneyworld. You can click on the link in my siggy to read more about it.

my friend's daugher we decided to do more capri-ish.

Those are great! The character placement did work out nicely.

I made mine capris too and it left just enough fabric from the middle to make a tote bag or maybe a drawstring backpack for the rest of their swim gear. That will be a project for another day - LOL!
