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

[disneylovinfamily]

Here is Roseanna modeling it. She just woke up and I immediatly made her put it on. Poor kid. I will take better pics later when I make the bows and make her presentable! She is smaller than Isabelle so hopefully this will be perfect!

One question. DO you think I should do trim around the russle on the top? I was thinking red or yellow pom poms but I am not sure. Opinions???

I think it is BEAUTIFUL!

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.

I used CarlaC's Easy Fit Pants pattern and both of my kids wear the size 8. I was able to use one towel for each pair. I folded the towel in half the long way and used the hem in the end of the towel as the hem for my legs. I had about 8-10 (at least) inches leftover in the middle and maybe 2-3 inches to spare on the sides so you could probably still go a couple sizes bigger with one towel.

I only had time to read to page 34 this morning. We are going to the mall to get Tessa Build-A-Bear (she's been saving up her $$) and I need to get a few items for the Big Give projects I'm working on. Plus, we'll met Henry for lunch and get to ride the carousel at the mall. We live about 1/2 hour from the mall, so we don't get out much with gas prices the way they are.

To anyone looking at pictures of my house, I'd like to clarify that those pictures were taken before we moved in and there is construction dust everywhere!

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

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

Thank you!
Oh my gosh, I wish my back yard was that pretty!!! That is gorgeous! Our backyard is all patchy and pretty ugly, with one spot that is always wet, backed by a bean field.

Only clean '*** there are no kids livin' here! They're all grown!

What dirty word did you get edited for, you naughty girl!?

Well then it is official..... if our wall color, wood furniture colors,and leather chair colors are all the same,....... then............You really are cool!

I went to your pics- all I can say is WOW! I love your garage doors- and the way they angle out the way they do. I've always wanted to own a home with a garage like that. It's really comfortable looking to me.

Love your floors- Brazilian cherry by any chance? I wanted BC floors, but like I said, this was a model home and we took it the way it was. I actually have never really liked light colored floors, but in this house because of all the windows etc. the light wood looks good. But I love me some Brazilian Cherry wood floors for sure!

The mosiac work on the floor is outstanding! Did you do that?? Loved the sinks..... ah heck! I LOVED THE WHOLE HOUSE! Beautiful, beautiful home.

Karen said I'm cool! Karen said I'm cool! Oh wait, this is coming from a woman with a penchant for pink boas....

Thank you so much for the compliments on my house! I knew pretty much what I wanted but not how I wanted it to look, so I had a guy on ebay draw up house plans for me. He only charged $400 to completely design the blueprints and send us 8 copies!! This guy was amazing! He changed as many things as we wanted him to until it was just how we wanted it!

The floors are made out of kempas wood. I'd never heard of it either! I think they look pretty, but they scrath really easily. So, I wish we would have went with brazialian cherry, which was my original choice!

The sinks are hammered copper and were made by a guy named Pedro on ebay. They were only $99/each!! Gotta love ebay! I see he has doubled his price since then, though!

I love the whole process of picking out stuff for a new house and trying to find great prices on unique items. This is the 3rd house we've built for ourselves. I don't know how long we'll stay here, but having my mom and dad next door makes me reluctant to leave it!

We built this house for the price that most people in the area pay for a cookie cutter house that's less than 1/2 the size. Just one more thing to love about that husband of mine!

But, in my town you can't get a condo for under $400,000

OUCH!!

here you go...here are some pics of my ugly house!

Here is DD's bedroom

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

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!!!

Please point out the ugly parts about your house because I think it's very pretty! I love the shake siding on the outside! I love the palm tree in the HSM room. It's a HSM2 theme!

We can trade if ya want! I love granite in the kitchen.

I've had all sorts of kitchen counters- formica, tile, corian, and granite. My favorite, by far, is the granite. It's incredibly easy to keep clean and it doesn't get stains, scratches, or water marks on it! I LOVE it!!! My least favorite was corian! Ugh! That stuff stained so bad and scratched terribly.

The only "cool" thing about my house is, it is only 20 minutes from WDW!

That tops anything I've got, Cindee!!!

Wow! Everyone has been soooo busy! And thanks for the email about the Big Give going on over here! How nice! I haven't posted in sooo long, but it has been crazy and busy around here and I have been having some health issues, so I just haven't had the time! I do try to read and keep up sometimes, but I have found it impossible!LOL Just wanted to say HI and I would like to participate in the Big Give, but I have a few dilemmas! For one I don't sew very quickly, and I don't get to sew often! So I don't think I could swing making an outfit! That being said, I can make hairbows, pony tail streamers or headband, clippies, any kind of hair accessory needed. So if the child wore hair things, and someone wantssomething to match an outfit, I would be willing to make something and mail it to you so that you can send it with your outfit! If this is not needed, I'M SORRY, but I just feel like that is the only thing I could possibly swing at the moment! I think this is soo AMAZING for you all to do for these families! Once again, this is the VERY BEST group of people EVER

I think it's gorgeous! I'm not sure about pompom trim, but maybe some yellow ric rac to pull the yellow from the bodice? I'd only add it if you really feel like it. It looks great the way it is.

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!

Both of my kids were allergic to cow's milk, so I had to avoid it when nursing. Just FYI. It's more common than people think.

Hope she's feeling better soon!

ETA: Oops, Adrienne said the same thing already!

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.

Alice on the halter bodice:

Doorknob and cheshire cat

tweedles and white rabbit

pants (have posted before) queen of hearts and painting the roses red

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[disneylovinfamily]

We are going to have to cancel our Disney trip. Mark called and they are pushing his homecoming date to the end of October. That is an estimate of course but he definatly won't be jome for our trip. No free dining for me Hopefully a good code comes out for november and maybe we can go then but I am not sure he will want to. It will have to be a really good deal.

I am trhowing myself a pity party and going for fabric therapy.

[100AcrePrincess]

Wow! It's just amazing. I like it the way it is, but pom-pom trim would be cute too.

I like seeing everyone's houses. If I can find the pics of mine from when we were working on it I'll post them.

That is adorable. I wouldn't add anything at all to it. It would distract from the applique' work.

Hang in there I think calling the sunday school teacher is a good idea. Maybe the stint will help her heal. Still praying for you and your family.

Alice on the halter bodice:

Wow, that is one lucky girl! You did a great job. I agree with a PP that the pompom trim would detract from the appliqué.

all these outfits are amazing!!

One question - what is the big give?

Many who post regularly to this board worked together to make outfits for someone who was going to WDW with her family for the first time since they'd lost a child. The idea was to help make this trip a little more magical since it would no doubt also be very sad. Mousetriper organized that one and it was dubbed the Big Give (I missed how the name came about). I'm not sure how exactly it was decided to continue this but revrob found a Make A Wish family to be the next recipients. We've now moved a lot of the planning and such to a separate board to make it easier to keep up. If you click on the Big Give logo in my sig, it will take you to that other board. Many others have the same logo or similar ones that are links, too, so people can always find the board again if they lose the address.

Wow! Everyone has been soooo busy! And thanks for the email about the Big Give going on over here! How nice! I haven't posted in sooo long, but it has been crazy and busy around here and I have been having some health issues, so I just haven't had the time!

Once again, this is the VERY BEST group of people EVER

We encourage lots of "pixie dust" in addition to the clothes and bigger items. People send notes, coloring pages, stickers, etc. We feel that just getting something in the mail is so fun for most kids so the more the merrier. if you'd like to coordinate, please come to the board where we're planning current and future Gives (click the logo in my sig).

We are going to have to cancel our Disney trip. Mark called and they are pushing his homecoming date to the end of October. That is an estimate of course but he definatly won't be jome for our trip.

I am throwing myself a pity party and going for fabric therapy.

Oh, I'm so sorry for the delay. I totally understand the need for a pity party. I'll bring the whine.
