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

[ms_mckenna]

I just finished up Joy's Minnie Dress, Minnie is her favorite Disney character, really the only one she recognizes (she's only 15 months!) When we went last time, she got sick and had a pretty rough trip, and we bought her this large, soft, pink, plush Minnie doll and she sleeps with it now and just loves her Minnie. It's one of the few words she can say! So I made her a Minnie dress and cannot wait until we go again in Sept and she sees real life Minnie!

Such a sweet dress and a precious little girl!

Whew! It was a BUSY weekend. We all survived the party even though mother nature was threatening to drowned us in buckets and buckets of rain!! It did finally stop raining after about the first hour of the party and then the sun came out and the kids got to play on the pirate ship. We also went to see Wall- E yesterday. Although I forgot to have lucas wear his wall-e outfit-
Here's the pictures

The other little boy is my nephew. He stayed with us after the party. the kids were exhausted!
I only got one picture of Lucas in his pirate outfit but it was after he was fully water logged. So I guess He'll be dressing up another day for those pictures.

Things look great! Glad they had fun! Love DD's dress!

kinda boring, but I was going through my photos and I don't think I posted this one. I made this skirt for DD10's friend. I made a similar skirt for this girl's little sister. (oh and this is my pseudo dress form from Hobby Lobby that Sugarbees picked up for me on sale for $25, she has a smaller one that works better for little stuff)

I really like that skirt!!!!

Thanks I am going to check it out. My only thing is I want straight edges without ruffles so I am hoping I can find something like that.

You shouldn't have any trouble finding a nice tailored crib skirt pattern. I've seen several over the past few years.

Happy Birthday, Karen!

(btw, that's a pink birthday message to match your boa!)

Well ladies today my baby boy is 13 years old!!!! Last night he made DH and I cry because it was the first time we had seen him walk as far as he did. About 20 feet which was SUPER cool.

DH got my sewing room finished enough to sew in so now I just have to clean up the mess he made to get it that way. I am hoping to get in there and start sewing by this weekend it would be really cool!

OK and even though I should not get myself in this mode I will. Did you do customs if you had an infant in the park with you? And if you did what would you do for a 5 month old?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN!!!!

 

[Clared]

I remembered my question!

Does anyone know where to buy green grass hula skirts? I want to make the girls outfits something like this-

(not exactly, but something like it) and can't find grass skirts anywhere. I found a brown one at Hobby Lobby, but I would rather use green ones. Thanks!

Renae

Assuming that they sell the same over here as they do over there, have you tried Toys R us?

What about a party store? It's still Luau City at the Party City stores by me.

Please check out my ticker..... when I first posted it, it was over 6 months...now we're almost 2 and change...

WOOHOO! We're sailing not long before you... I booked the trip in January 2007, almost 19 months out. I can't believe it's almost here!

It means "Dream" Which was a complete set up because the kid didn't sleep through the night until she was 2 1/2

Ha! I know what you mean... our son's name is Dexter, which means right-handed. He's a lefty. We figured we were *really* tempting fate naming our daughter Celeste - which means heaven.

YESSSS!!!!!!!!! That is why I have 6 drawers and 3 big bins of fabric. Hi. My name is Kathy and I am a fabric-holic.

I've been meaning to ask this question:

What does your stash look like? How much fabric do you have, and how is it stored/organized? Any photos to share?

I

Doing the Megan! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's awesome!

Sophia has been going on the potty some too! But she just turned 2 so I don't have too much hope that the diapers will be gone soon.

I am in "catch up" mode but wanted to comment on this...Claire wore her last diaper when not sleeping on her 2nd birthday, so it is possible to be finished that early. We used the cotton training pants with the plastic pants over it. We used pull-ups at night only. Within 3 weeks she was wearing "big girl" underpants and within 3 months was dry 95% of the time at night. She trained herself basically. Your DD will let you know when she is ready.

 

[Camping Griswalds]

Thanks! Yes I made the bows too.

The bows and outfit are stunning! I missed you at the beach this year! If you come down again, give me a call! Oh and I can't get the right link to your ID. Do you have - or maybe* between the words? You can PM me the correct thing if you want!

That's good to know!! My ds was about 3 yrs and 2 weeks when he decided he was done with diapers! We had tried to "train" him a few different times before that. He had shown interest in the potty around 2 yrs old, so I wasn't getting my hopes up this time. Oh and she just #2'd on the toilet (for the first time) a little bit ago! TMI I know but it's a big for us! Maybe it won't be too long after all! Fingers crossed!

For a girl I would do little bloomers with a mickey head on the rear! That with a really cute tank top.

Probably for a boy I would just do little shorts and a mickey applique'd onesie or t-shirt.

For a girl you could do some really sweet little dresses too! Maybe not with the applique's , but some comfy cotton dresses that were interpretations of the princesses. Like a blue skirt with the little side flounces in lighter blue for cinderella. You could also do the princess skirts and just do plain t-shirts with them.

You could have so much fun!!!! Oh, and don't forget those binkies!!!!!

Ok. Here are some pics from the party. My MIL just e-mailed me. I haven't had a chance to upload my dad's or my camera.

 

[Twins+2more]

Have a super birthday Karen

Lily looks so pretty!!! I love the picture of her with Cinderella. Now we need more photos, we want a better view of the storybook skirt!

and just because here's one of B and me @ my Pap's 75th b-day party July 5th

FANTASTIC!!! well, after our Dis weekend and me avoiding the cameras AGAIN I started back on south beach today. So, we can suffer through this together. Great job!!! I am hoping to join you in the losing soon.

Happy Birthday Karen

I will post pics soon.

OH and Lily said when she was 3 she would be bigger and could wear her big girl underpants. she hasn't worn them yet but she has gone to the potty more often than not since saturday.

...t.

Count me in on the losing weight thing! I've got about 9 pounds left of baby weight (I gained somewhere around 30) and a whole bunch more from before that! Ideally after the baby weight I need to lose about 30-40 pounds. Yikes! That is a number!

My DH has made a mess of things too around our house. We decided that with the arrival of Lilly that we needed to make the second bedroom on the first floor of our home a true bedroom instead of my DH's office. But to do that it meant walling off our formal living room and making it an office. Of course, we decided to do this in January and my DH just got around to getting the ball rolling on it! Grr! So last Wednesday the carpenters showed up to wall it off, Saturday the electrician was here and today, joy of all joys, the drywallers are here. My house is a disaster! Don't you always want your home torn up two weeks after having a baby during the summer (with the door open during 100 degree heat with your a/c running) with your two oldest children home instead of at school?

I have a question about what customs to put Lilly in for our trip to WDW too. She is only going to be about 10 weeks and none of my YCMT patterns are that small. I know that they make commercial patterns for that size, anyone have any recommendations?

I've been meaning to ask this question:

What does your stash look like? How much fabric do you have, and how is it stored/organized? Any photos to share?

I don't have a very big fabric stash but what I have I keep in a clear Rubbermaid container in my closet. It's not ideal (I really want a craft room!) but at least it stays contained in one spot.

Okay, you so don't have any weight to lose! Give me a break!

Weith losing ladies:

I don't usually post about stuff like this, cause I don't want people to think I'm a weirdo hippy or something, but have you already or have you considered taking all of the HFCS and Hydrogenated oils out of your diets?

Artificial sweeteners are one of the things that Riley has to avoid and in the process I read up and learned a lot about HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) and it is some nasty stuff. It makes you crave more and more and more.........

We recently got back on track after a week of eating too much junk and I can't even tell you the difference I see in the way my girls eat when they have "detoxed." I can make anything with real sugar and while it sounds good and we like it, it isn't the same as when we have HFCS in our systems and we think we're gonna die if we don't get something sweet! Drew ASKED for salad for dinner last night and lunch today.

We'll never be able to cut it out 100%. I won't make my kids live like hermits, but I can sure tell when I haven't been careful enough. I can sooooo tell the difference in myself too. I made peanut butter cookies (my favorite!!!!) and the batch lasted a week and I think I ate 2. That is not like me! I'm the girl who just can't back away from the cookies!!!

When we originally did this, I lost 10 pounds just because. I didn't change anything else. It has also given me the control to eat better when I need to drop a few here and there. You'll be amazed where you find that nasty stuff when you start looking for it.

I can help you find stuff without it if anyone is interested.

 

[mytwotinks]

I love this one! She looks like she's so excited she's about to burst!!!
