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

KAREN: I love Barry Manilow but I do not like what he's done to his face! We are going to Vegas in October and maybe I will try to talk DH into taking me. Last time we went he took me to Phantom of the Opera and fell asleep!

I got out an UFO (thanks Lisa) and finished it today. It is a circle skirt I was trying to make for an 8 year old but I did the calculations for the circle with the measurement of the waist, not the waist times 1.5 so it ended up too tight for the older girl. That is the second time I have done it, so you would think I would learn. So I shortened it and gave it to Megan. I asked her if she wanted a guitar on the t, but she insisted on a M. Or she said I could do a G (for her middle name) if I wanted.

Megan says this is the proper Megan:

Too many Megans!:rotfl:

Cute outfit and cute girl!!! Good for you for completing a UFO!

I agree about Barry's face. He has really done some serious plastic surgery, and teeth stuff. He got what I call the "Vegas" look. I'm not so fond of it myself, but I do enjoy all his music and his show is fantastic! If you talk your husband into going to see it in October, he may just be surprised that he likes Barry Manilow after all!

Glorib- You have a very nice craft room. It looks neat, clean and organized.... but I totally understand your dilemma with the cords under the desk- I have the same problem..... see............

You and I could make our millions if we could put our heads together and find a fix for that mess couldn't we?? Right now, those cords are the bane of my existence!

Yes, let's think of something, shall we? The problem is, whenever I think I have a brilliant idea, I find out someone else has already thought of it! :rotfl:



OOOOh were did you get the "spinny things" for your scrapbooking supplies?

I love those spinny things! I got the white one at Pottery Barn Kids, but Making Memories also has one out now and I think I like it better actually. The black one is called a Clip It Up and I got it at Archiver's. Both were kind of expensive, but I really like them and think they've been worth the money.

Some day I'm going to take a field trip to Archivers!!! I think the closest one is like 10 states away!!!
 

Wow! Go away for a week and come back to 20+ pages!! Lots of great syuff lately, but Tom!! Love the MAW set and it's so nice to see you sewing (and posting) again!!
 
love the megan outfit and she is so beautiful...;)
I am on a mad search for a coloring page for playhouse Disney's Bunnytown :headache: that is Mayson's favorite show as of now :cool1: and i thought how cute to do a applique on a pair of short overalls . if anyone see's one or knows of a site please let me know:lovestruc they do not have any on playhouse disney.com:confused3
 
Somehow I knew that you would appreciate these pics! :laughing:

Okay so i think every house should have one of these Nannies,:lmao:
Here is jayedyn reading her 15 mins to Daizie and she actually looks like she is enjoying it:rotfl: :rotfl:

Okay i am off to SEP teacher conferences...

They actually have a program in Chicago (I think) schools where the kids read to dogs and it has actually improved their reading abilities. My Oscar would be perfect for this program since all it would involve is him lying there while they read to him. The only problem would be the kid reading would have to yell over his snoring! He sounds like a freight train!

OK, here are pics of my (mostly) clean craftin' area!

You'll have to excuse the mess o' wires - the outlets in this room are in very inconvenient places!

Now if I could just keep it this clean! It seems like whenever I make something, I make a huge old mess!

Wow, that is an impressive craft room! And I'm jealous of all of your "stuff"! I love to scrapbook too. I just need to finish a scrapbook though.

I love Archiver's! We had one when I lived in Overland Park, KS but we don't have them here in the Dallas area. I keep hoping that they will open one in the Dallas area since all of the Recollections (the Michael's version of Archiver's - but not nearly as good) went out of business in January. We actually don't have any major scrapbooking stores near me anymore. Right before Recollections closed 3 area scrapbook stores went out of business. We just have one very tiny scrapbook store locally now. :sad2:
 
I don't remember who it was that said they were hoping that their DD could have a birthday cake, but she couldn't because she couldn't get one that was Gluten Free. Well I found a website that sells a Gluten Free cake mix. I thought that all of you that need would enjoy the link to the site. http://www.bobsredmill.com/home.php?cat=109
This company says that they use an ELISA Assay test to determine is a product is gluten free. I don't know if that helps.

I am on a mad search for a coloring page for playhouse Disney's Bunnytown :headache: that is Mayson's favorite show as of now :cool1: and i thought how cute to do a applique on a pair of short overalls . if anyone see's one or knows of a site please let me know:lovestruc they do not have any on playhouse disney.com:confused3


Well spongie...... it's not a coloring page, but it is some pics that you could enlarge and cut just like you do with a coloring page. Hope it helps some!

Those are the cutests smileys ever!!!!

I searched around the other night trying to find you a Happy Anniversary smiley, but I coudnl't find any, so I thougt I'd look on Wednesday, but then I didn't get a chance to!
Hi everyone, you all have been busy. I haven't been on here since uhhh.. Dec 4 of last year yikes! I found out I was having a baby boy, and was too depressed to sew! (Really wanted another girl) Actually I couldn't lean over to cut out the fabric on the floor anymore. Finishing my DD Thanksgiving outfit made me so sick, I was done sewing until now. Trying to make a tutu for her Charlie and Lola party!. Any who my son is two months old now, and in desperate need of some cute boy stuff. So please keep on inspiring me!

Hey! Nice to see you posting again!!! And, congratulations on the new baby!!!! How exciting! I remember your daughter, she was the one who ate teh Mickey Bar without getting ANY on herself!!! Very impressive!


DISboutiquers/BigGive Participants...
I've wanted to come over here for awhile now to thank you all for the amazing things you've done for us. It is so moving to witness the type of kindness in today's world, and the great thing is that when such deeds are done for us, it often inspires us to do for others. Kindness is contagious, and because of you, my entire family is inspired to pay it forward. My son has challenges to face every day, mild as they may be. Sometimes it's hard to hear about the teasing he suffers (although I think it bothers us more than him) but I hope that the pain of it will purify me to be the person I am supposed to be in this world. I pray that for his siblings as well. If I can spread a little light to others in the same way you have done for us, I want to do so. You are the epitome of compassion, and as I have said many times, a mere thank you is so inadequate! Please know that what you are doing is truly life-changing for so many. You have helped give us memories that we will never, ever forget!
Now, how do I learn to sew???

Oh goodness, now you've went and made me all teary eyed! I wasn't part of your Big Give, but your words are very touching! Thank you!

Hey, T I can't see your ticker, lol!

Well I sewed and sewed and messed up and ripped seams and sewed some more but I finished Jacob's birthday shirt. It just fits him so I guess I should have went up a size even though he measured smaller. :confused3

First, here is his first day of school outfit. He picked out the fabric for the shorts and we found the t to match:

IMG_0662.jpg


I bought the wrong size buttons :headache: so I convinced him that the open shirt look was cool:

IMG_0663.jpg


I imagine that he's thinking, "Hey Arminda, what's up?" :rotfl2:

The back:

IMG_0664.jpg


We won't lose him in a crowd, lol. I don't know if I was hurrying too much or what but I had a lot of trouble with this pattern. It is also pretty heavy with it being lined. I should have picked a thinner fabric for the lining but I wanted to stick to 100% cotton since the dragon fabric was cotton. It was a learning experience!
I had to call Arminda over to the computer for this one!!!! You should have seen her face when we got to the Arminda part!!!! Love it!!!! Oh, I'd only have had my camera out!

Goodness, Jacob is such a handsome boy!!! (Arminda agrees too!)

Arminda was wondering if Jacob got his haircut.

And, his birthday was Wednesday? I missed that somewhere along the line!
:
We are all just sniffly all OVER the place...I SWEAR I know some parents who throw a big party when kindergarten starts!
I don't believe such stories!!! WHO would do such a thing!

Megan says this is the proper Megan:

Great room and very organized! :thumbsup2 Love the fabric stash!!!

I do make a mess too but, I have learned to just clean up as I go and then vacumm etc when I am completed a project...especially since I have little kids. And poor T, stepped on a pin once :scared1: and needed surgery, so I am trying to keep mine neat for that reason! :hug:
 
Whew! caught up just from yesterday! I worked ALL day. Work at Disney Store from 10-4:30, came home and ate dinner, then went to the conisgnment sale I work at and worked from 6-10! I am pooped! Get to do it all over today.

I've been keeping it up and putting ice on it when I can... but eventually the swelling comes back.:


Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday so far!!
...t.

t.- I can't see most of your pics....what are they, where did they go?
Love your stash. I should take a pic of mine but it is a mess right now! And your poor ankle. I really wish you can find someone to take a look at it.

Here are my first creations.

These of course were very easy since they were pre-shired....that is my idea of sewing :lmao:
2741052735_db656b7a6b.jpg


My model was not cooperating so here is the pillowcase dress, made with help from my mom :love: Made this to coordinate with the birthday dress my bought for my 3yo DD for her party at Chef Mickeys
2741895290_11ce58cd40.jpg


2741897610_153ae70c61.jpg

Very cute! I love those pre-shirred materials!

OK - I got Mickey done. I think I'm going to do a cake or something on the back after the front is completely dried. Not sure if I want to do something on the legs... thoughts on that?
Or maybe put a cake on one of the legs and balloons on the back? OR??

bdaypants.jpg

WOW! girl you are good at painting! I would have thought it was store bought! but better! Great job!

Now... let's see............... WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR , especially a few of you that have excellent taste in music! ;)

Vegas now. ...... I think I need to gop and visit her there- SOON!!

Love your trip report! So cool to see barry! Was it a surprise or did you know he would be there? Very fun!

Here's the back. I should have gone with a more simple image... Pluto doesn't look much like Pluto. :headache: (it does look better in the photo than in person.)

Looks like pluto to me! Love it!

I got out an UFO (thanks Lisa) and finished it today. It is a circle skirt I was trying to make for an 8 year old but I did the calculations for the circle with the measurement of the waist, not the waist times 1.5 so it ended up too tight for the older girl.

I love that skirt. I remember the last one. How do you attach the tulled to the skirt? I really wanted to add that to one of dd's dresses! And next time we will do the megan!

This company says that they use an ELISA Assay test to determine is a product is gluten free. I don't know if that helps.

I use some of the products from this manufacturer. I can usually find a whole assortment of items just at the grocery store. I really like their apple spice cake (not GF) but I have a gluten free brownie mix in the pantry to try soon just because.
 
just a quick question. my computer was running slow yesterday so dh did a scan and a security warning came up saying that the proboards disboutiquers was a known phishing site. i have never seen that before and don't post any of my own info, but i was wondering if we should pm the wishtrippers address and stuff to anyone who is participating. i dont know much about phishing so please if i am overlly neurotic just let me know. thanks

I hope someone more computer savvy might be able to chime in on this. Identity theft scares the beejeesus out of me.

I was wondering if there was a different way, simply because the board is not private. But then again, my address is listed in the phone book, so I guess it isn't much different.

I have no idea about the phishing part.
