Has anyone seen machine applique embroidery designs with Halloween Mickey/Minnie themes? Like Minnie with a witch hat - Mickey as a ghost, etc. If you've seen these designs, could you please PM me the address? Thanks!

yikes! I have never posted anything that I have made before. I can't sew a button, but Stephres has inspired me to make shoes for our trip!! She is making my daughter a safari minnie outfit, and I thought it would be fun to have shoes to match. So I made some shoes. Then I thought okay this isn't so hard so I made another pair, then came Ariel and now my son has a Pirate set for our upcoming trip! okay, I have to be honest...it was harder than I thought, and it made me appreciate what goes into making an outfit (and these are just shoes)! You all do beautiful work and I think the Big Give is such a wonderful thing as well! God Bless you all

btw, Hi Steph - tell sweet Megan I said hello too!!

I have been away a few days and have lots to catch up on, but I needed to commet on these shoes! They came out great! I love them! Did you embroider right on the shoes, or just glue it on? I would love to make a pair too!

Did I embroider? Oh hunny you just made my day. I used an adhesive glue Thank you for the compliment! They are pretty fun to do!

Where did you get the letters? Are they just like patch letters that you glued on? I've never seen letters in that font and color. I seriously love the Ariel shoes. They're totally cute! WELL, all of them are, but my DD would FLIP over that Ariel pair!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

I love these shoes. I want to make some fancy shoes for Jenna.

In my search for how to make a dwarf costume I found this AWESOME site. Now I could have gone on just hoping none of you knew of it so I could make something totally awesome and you would all think I was clever...but that would be wickedness and I leave that for our dear Miss Cammie.

This is a video tut on making a shirred dress...duh..but there's other stuff that is totally great. ood for beginners too, it talked about how cotton is made and what the bias is (true bias is a 45 degree angle...who knew?)

I watched the video on DIY Fairy Wings... wow!!! So much better than the poster board wings my mom made me 30+ years ago.

I wanted to share some photos of a very short and last minute camping trip Zoe and I made this weekend.

I've never seen those before. I think I could "camp" in one of those.

As a child I did so much camping with my dad and with Girl Scouts that I just don't have any desire to camp again... the leaking air mattress, the hard ground, the heat, the humidity, the rain knocking down the tent, breaking my tailbone... really, this is supposed to be fun?? Problem is that my DH is itching to take DD camping. So now I'm trying to talk DH into buying a TearDrop Trailer. They are so cute... a little sleeping compartment that you pull behind your car/truck. They hold a double/queen mattress and can be outfitted with air conditioning!!! A/C and a bed... now that's my idea of camping. I told DH that he and DD can rough it in tents and the dog and I will sleep in airconditioned comfort

Halloween picture people.......... I LOVE THESE PICS! You are all so good to me posting the pics of your little kiddles so I can have memories come flooding back about my own kids when they were young. It's ahrd being the "Grandma" in the group..... even though I am only 49........ NO!! REALLY!!!! I am only 49! [/QUOTE]

I belong to the grandma club too. I am only 51, just had my birthday, and I have 5 grandkids. Now I make their costumes.

Wow great shoes!! I too love the Ariel, my daughter would go crazy!! Very cute and creative!!

Got my luggage tags today in the mail from ME Very excited

I just got home from work and in the mailbox was my luggage tags for ME! I have dinner, clean up and the bed as I have work all day tomorrow.

I won't be able to sew again until Wed morning.

Mrs. Miller, please do tell me how on earth you made that beautiful dress. I love yours and that it is lined. As you could see in the picture of mine it showed through a bit. I also want to get detailed instructions on how you put in the casing.

Thank you again for posting the pictures of how you put it together. I am a kinetics learner now and the photos help.

For the casing did you just stich a line 1/2 inche from the edge and then put elastic thru? It really looks good and I want to copy your pattern if I may.

Please as model your dress. I am sure you look super in it. Are you going to MNSSHP? I am so excited to be going to Disney soon.

Thanks to everyone for the support and help. I like that fabric suggested. I saw a light fleece at $3.99 a yard at the store. IS that a good price? It is creamy brown.

I'm back from my camping trip! Now if I could just do a little laundry and clean my craft room I might be able to SEW!!!

Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Luke, Izzy and cousin doggy Luna:

Cheeeeeez!

My girls:

Lily throwing rocks by the trailer:

Jayden (in the orange shirt) and my sisters walking to the lake (with Bald Mountain in the background, we were at 10,000 ft. elevation):

Izzy napping on Lily's princess chair:

a little light reading:

my fisherboy, okay, Uncle Brad caught the fish, but Seth was in the canoe with him when he did. The poor boys just don't know how to set the hook when they get a nibble (either do I) (they are rainbow trout BTW)

Ohh I love camping. These pictures are wonderful and wherever you were is just breathtaking!!!!!

It doesn't often get hot enough around here to need AC while camping - at least not as long as there's a creek/river/lake nearby. However, having a real bed definitely makes camping so much more appealing. I went camping with my sister, BIL and lots of Boy Scouts for several years as well as family trips. We thought luxury was having a chemical toilet but I'm too old for that now. I need flush toilets, hot showers and the ability to stand to dress as well as a soft bed for the night. Beyond that I'm fairly low maintenance.

I belong to the grandma club too. I am only 51, just had my birthday, and I have 5 grandkids. Now I make their costumes.

I'm not a grandma but I'll be 46 in October. I have made costumes for my great nephews, though. Does that count?

These are all cute but I'll agree with PPs that the Ariel shoes are my favorite. You might have glued the elements to the shoes rather than sewing but don't dismiss the artistry of putting things together.

I know this is totally off topic but I got to bring my doggy, Rusty, home from the vet today. He had been there since last Monday. He has developed an autoimmune disorder that is common to Cockers. He just turned 5. My family has owned about 14 Cockers and we've never had this before. His plateletts got all the way down to 34 and the bottom of normal is 175. They added another medicine, a chemo type drug, with the prednisone and his count was 265 today. He will have weekly blood tests to monitor his counts and hopefully he can eventually be weened off the meds.

But he's finally home. He spent the evening laying in my lap.

Yay!! How happy you guys must be to have your baby home. I hope he continues to get better.

 

[TravelinGal]

Ok guys this is no where near the level you guys are at, but pretty happy for a first time going. This is what I was able to do in about 2 hours. Not great, but can tell, practicing will help. So happy

this was the first one I did last night at home by myself with no directions, what a mess!

You're improving really fast! I tried those darn Mickey heads about 10 times and I think maybe my last one looked like your first one. You're doing super! Keep it up!

Oh my gosh, those are GREAT! Very creative! You don't have to use a needle and thread to create custom outfits/accessories! Two thumbs up!

I'm sorry for the stress you're going through with your furbaby. I'm sure everyone involved is happy he's home - especially him! I've never heard of that problem with cockers. Hugs to you and your furbaby.

I AM THE WORST MOTHER EVER!!!!!
...t.

You are not the worst mother ever.... I was zipping up Jayedyn's pant this morning and caught her V***** Let's just say i made her bleed and now she is sore ......

Try #1 at the dress. I am almost there but still need to fix the width at underarm.

How can I get a curve to the bust? Also to the side at the shoulder point before it goes up? I need to attach fringe to the top but this is just a fitting dress so far. Not bad for no pattern.

It looks good so far.... can't wait to see it finished..

Love the costumes ..

So Cute i love them all

Here are the Pics from Zofia's party yesterday!!

playing games:
That is my sister (Nani to my kids) Shushing them. LoL! She looks like such a grump in this pic!

That picture is scary! It looks just like Rusty's Grandma. I should know because I have his grandma, dad and sister. He also favors his daddy big time. That picture looks so much like my Maddie, little head and everything. Rusty is such a momma's boy!

 

[GoofyG]

Not the best picture, this is the feet are wet kennel.


They all sleep in a HUGE kennel together. I don't trust them alone with the kids toys, or PACI! I'll have to find that picture of one of them carry the paci in their mouth!

Wow what a great View!! Looks you all had fun too!! Thanks for taking us along!

I made my boys matching shirts for animal kingdom. My middle child seemed to be getting jealous that I was sewing for his sister! They have so many disney shirts that I don't want to make one for each day though.
My oldest says the shirt is itchy around the applique. Is that normal? What can I do? Thanks!

I love all the halloween pictures!

They look so cute!! Maybe you can make themes from the shirt they already have. Toy story theme, Cars theme... Don't stress about it though! They will have a great time and look adorable no matter what they wear!!

Ok guys this is no where near the level you guys are at, but pretty happy for a first time going. This is what I was able to do in about 2 hours. Not great, but can tell, practicing will help. So happy
