Hey ladies! I have been lurking on this thread for a while. All of you make such wonderful clothes! You have inspired me and I bought a bunch of fabric this week and I WILL make some stuff!!!!Tonight I made a tutu bottom for my DD's birthday outfit and it came out great! I am on my way! Hopefully when I have questions (and I am sure I will!) you ladies would be so kind as to help me. You really have some talent on this thread!
)!Yes, I wanted to make it extra special and add another chin for y'all!
I know exactly what you mean! I forgot to mention that I also had the Bebe Sounds baby monitor for Sawyer. I slept SO much better with that thing. Make sure you follow the directions and put a board underneath the pad that comes with the monitor to prevent false alarms. I also had a breathable bumper pad for his crib. Have you ever seen those? I got it at Target and I didn't have to worry about his bumper pad smothering him. Yes, I was very paranoid.
! I guess I was tired!
I think Lily has a pose like this too
! We have more on the way everyone, so start getting your stash ready!!
I love everyone's random photos,
And here is Sara Beth fishing in the closest thing we have to water! It was her first time!
Me too! I'm in SoCal and I'd love a DLR meet. 
- it crackys me up!
Teresa has Green POOH?!?!? Maybe she should see a Dr. for that?
Oh... I kill myself!!!!
Here's my pic of the day...well pictures actually:
A wave destroying their sandcastle
A wave practically knocking over DD10 (My friend who might come to the Dismeet is there in the brown suit running to catch her son!)
Vote on one:
A. A whale
B. A shark
C. A dolphin
D. A lochness monster
Stay cool...hopefully we won't top out at 100 today
. It is just too hot, they think the van probably became too hot in just minutes of her being left in it. Poor baby, I cannot imagine how terrible everyone involved in this feels. On the bright side though, it's only supposed to be 99 today. I guess we are getting a cold front.You are cracking me up!
I feel your pain! It was 102 degrees yesterday (for our fourth or fifth day in a row over 100). The day before a daycare left an 18 month old in the van and she died
just checking....are we all still dieting before our Feb Dis Meet?...please let me know if we're not...7-11 just got in these fabulous looking Pina Colada muffins...and I'm dying to try one...There is even a cherry on top..who can resist..
Prince Charming - and not bad looking either
Do you wonder what his mother must think of his job? She must be so proud to tell everyone her son is Prince Charming.
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.
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?)
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!!!
You are cracking me up!
And I loved the fanny pack too!
MOVING MORE
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.
Here is Sara beth at a park that Moonk's mom should recognize. She was supposed to be feeding the DUCKS! And yes, that is a mom made outfit...my mom made it. Pre-sew days. (Although I did make a dress years ago.)
Not today...too rainy! Which is a good thing!
Awww thanks for that! I love it too!
Oh very good....you must win a prize or something for that!
Sara Beth looks like an slightly older version of my DD...I think it must be the cute glasses!I love everyone's random photos, so I thought I would share a few of us!
And here is Sara Beth fishing in the closest thing we have to water! It was her first time!
I need to confess something.......
....here goes....I use a fanny pack all summer. I hate dragging along a purse and love the hands free thing. I figure I am too old to care if its fashionable or not!
Gee your kids are cute (albeit sad) but the teacher is really funny
looking...
I wonder if I look like that sometimes to my students??? Really cute outfit! I love the style and the fabrics!Thanks for letting me share!
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!
Kudos to you!!! You go girl!! I try not to focus on 30...it's such a big # I like WW's first goal is 10% of your weight. 16 seems so much nicer than 30- even though it's half
