Yup!
I usually only go back a few pages when I get on here. That way, I can stay fairly current on what people are talking about. I hate that I miss things, though!
I haven't heard anything, but I was wondering about the fate of our old thread (and the new one) too!
We have those tees at Walmart too - but in long sleeves. It is starting to get easier to find short sleeve tees in Michigan now. Good thing I didn't need to buy any for our trip! I'm down to single digit days!! I'm sooo excited!!
HeatherSue - very cute! I love the color on that dress!
Carla - thanks for giving us the instructons for that adorable skirt! Wouldn't you know it, my DS gets to be my model sometimes too...
We've discussed how much therapy this boy will need on this thread many times!
I WANT IT! 
O.k. I am trying to get a better pic. of the guitar outfit and for some reason it is just giving me fits. The close up came out o.k.
I don't know what I am doing to mess this up though.
I was trying to find the link to the boden shirt that I copied, but a picture isn't showing up. I'll look for that again later. Maybe there sight is down or something.
That is so sweet!! Too funny that he was boxing, too! I'm not sure where you guys live, but Luke will have to move to my hometown. My little girl isn't getting married and moving far away from her mommy!Luke is a lucky guy! I said "Luke do you wanna see who you're going to marry?" When he stopped shadow boxing he said "are there more pictures of Tessa on here?"
I love that dress and the way the fabric goes with Ariel's hair! So cool! And Tessa is so gorgeous!
It's not done! I made some red (lightweight) velvet pants and a white short sleeved jacket. But, I have to put snaps on the jacket and I still have to add all the embellishing stuff to it. I'm just kind of lost as to what to do next! I don't know how to make those things that go on the shoulder that look like brushes. I have the braided tassle trim, but I don't know how to make the shoulder pad thing, or how to attach it to the jacket.
Wow! Those skirts are really cute! I don't think they look too busy at all, great job!This is what I've been busy doing the past few days. I'm not happy with the fabrics I chose for the patchwork skirts. Too busy!!! I needed to get a solid color in there. But it was the first time I did them and I'll know better next time. I used a full 2x the width of each row.....and I hand gathered the ruffles......Oh my gosh it took forever!!! One is a size 12 and the other is a size 4. I still have to make the baby one but hopefully that won't be as bad! And the apron is a present for my SIL. We get together and sew every friday night so I thought this would come in handy.
There's my little peanut!!! She was just so adorable and tiny!!!! She still is!Arminda (and all the other girls too) was 5 in these pictures
Unfortunately, there was a great big mirror in the room, so basically, all Arminda ever did was stare at herself!!!!
I'm so glad you found us! Make sure you post whatever you make!

Here's a close up
Here's what Sawyer was doing while I was sewing:
He got into my ebay supplies.
If anyone from the USPS is reading this- I rolled these back up will use them for official priority mail packages only!
That is so pretty Heather! And, look at my little Soybean!!! Such a cutie!
Luke is a lucky guy! I said "Luke do you wanna see who you're going to marry?" When he stopped shadow boxing he said "are there more pictures of Tessa on here?"
I agree, he is lucky!So, he knows all about this marriage thing, right?

That looks fantastic!!! But, I have two words for you: Ruffler foot. It will change your life!!!
What luxury!
Very cool, I love the hidden characters!!!
Those are some close ups. I'm not sure where the one of me disappeared to
She is, Lydia is quickly catching up!
Ok, I took pictures of the rocket, I'll post them in a minute....

These are the outfits that Vicki was referring to. I bought the shorts and made the shirts to match. We got a ton of comments from other guests and CMs. Each shirt has a hidden character too.

Those are so cool! So you scanned the shorts and then printed out on iron on paper? How original: I love it!
Welcome! I can't wait to see what you make.
On a similiar vein as the Nemo shirt, I made this while Megan was at school. She must have grown four inches since last summer, because that skirt is short! I don't know what I am going to do about that. Maybe just pass it along to a friend with a little one.
I think you have a few here! Just whip up a matching T--size 3T with a "L", don't worry, if needed I can re-size the elastic in the waist. 
You are killing me with the new outfit every day Steph! Love the Nemo shirt BTW. I'm still trying to start sewing today. I have to pick up DS at school and then go back and pick up DD an hour later (she has to stay after to get caught up 
). Someday.....
A friend with a little one?
Here's a little tute on how to make the reversible twirl skirt:
Carla
).
I haven't caught up on the last day and a half, but here's what I was working on yesterday. A gigantic Ariel head dress! The 3rd picture is our Michigan version of a sundress and the 4th picture is Tessa boxing. As we all know, Ariel is quite the boxer.
This went pretty fast, but I'm not real happy with the way it fits her. I shirred it in the back, but it's still too loose. The fabric is sparkly variegated colors with gold hearts.
She is ADORABLE! I will have to find my dd's ballet pics and post them!The pictures should work now! Sorry about that!
-------------------------------------
I also found pictures of Arminda in her ballet class! Remember way back on our old board when we were sharing these! Well, now I can too!
Arminda (and all the other girls too) was 5 in these pictures:
As you can see, Arminda is very very short! The teacher actually had to put in another barre so Arminda could reach it!
The studio wasn't quite finished for this first class! But, isn't Arminda a cutie!!!
Unfortunately, there was a great big mirror in the room, so basically, all Arminda ever did was stare at herself!!!!

FREE! WOW! VERY COOL!Here it is before they started playing on it. Sorry the pictures arent' real clear, I wasn't about to actually go outside, so I used extreme zoom and stood at the back door!
Here they are playing:
Pretty cool for free!

Look at you! You're a sewing maniac! This is adorable! I love the closeup of Megan, she's such a pretty little girl!
