I've been wondering the same thing. Tereas better watch out or she'll be ousted from the top poster spot!
Here is my sweet little one with my beautiful Mother. I loved that the three of us were able to take this trip together. It was such a special trip & one I will cherish forever.[/I]
I love the poses! Leslie, When I think of an "Emily" pose, I think of that one where she is glancing over her shoulder. I think she is wearing the Tink with the elastic straps. She is so cute in that picture and looks like a model.
Anywho, this is what I did today! I am so happy to be finished!
The Tessa/Megan
The JoJo
Oh, the scalloped edge skirt was so easy! It took a while for me to do, probably because I am slow, but it's wasn't hard at all and the directions were terrific. Next time I might attempt it with tulle, but I do like this look so she can wear it to school and Disney. Thanks Carla!
I like it as always. I am so sorry you have not been feeling well.The time has come for the much anticipated Doodlebops concert. We leave tomorrow. My DD has been very excited. I promised her that I would make her a skirt. I had the embroidered panels done a week ago. I've been sick for two weeks, the last 3 days have been very, very bad. We also had a death that we had do deal with so that cut into some sewing time. This isn't my best work by any means. But I'm sure my DD will love it, and I was able to get it done, which is the most important thing at this point.
The DeeDee panel is the front.
Obviously, I need to come up with a top. I'm gonna check the weather to see if I can alter a short sleeve t-shirt. Whatever I do, it's gonna have to be easy and quick. Any ideas?
Where are you guys going to see the Doodlebops?Okay, got my camera battery charged. Here are my Minnie Head panels, there are 2 different poses and I threw a dinner plate in there to show you the size. If I don't mess up my applique too much I should have a few of these Minnie Heads to give away in a few days.
Here is what I am doing with one. I found a pattern with a slightly larger bodice than the stripwork jumper. I traced the pattern piece on my heat-n-bond then ironed it on to Minnie then trimmed her out using the pattern piece for some of the borders. I still need to cut out the actual bodice and put it on that. I will probably use the purple fabric in the background (and for the rest of the bodice), but not 100% sure yet. I didn't want the bow to be the only pink thing in there so I used a purple fabric marker to change the bow from pink to purple, but I doubt that it will show much once seams are sewn and the shoulder straps flap over the top. The skirt will be the floral mickey/minnie fabric. Not sure how it will turn out, but DD LOVES Minnie so she won't complain
BTW for those of you w/this fabric, it also looks really cute with denim.
I like it as always. I am so sorry you have not been feeling well.
oh my gosh I love this!had to share my newest headband.
Riley wanted me to make something for Drew to wear to her basketball games. Riley also wanted me to tell you that Drew doesn't tuck the shirt in all dorky like that and that I just did that so the words showed up in the picture!
Drew calls this her cheerleader outfit. I didn't want to do all of the pleats of a cheerleader skirt so I cheated and told her that cheerleaders sometimes wear skirts like this!
Here's the Seth:
and the Seafood: (sorry, at least the nose is empty)
She's going to wear it to our town's main parade on Sunday. It's kind of cold out right now So I'm trying to find her a Green, Yellow or Purple sweatshirt so I can make her a matching jacket. She has a matching hat to it already.
I think it is cute like it is pictured above.My first thought was that I wanted to find the font for the Doodlebops and applique it. That was a month ago when we bought the tickets. I should have said something earlier, but honestly, this has just kinda snuck up on me. I knew it was coming, and I kept thinking that I would get on this when I felt better, and that just just hasn't happened. We're going regardless. I've had antibiotics in me for 24 hours and I can feel some difference already, so I'm really hoping that by this time tomorrow, I'll be much better.
SO, after I posted the pics, I went and dug around in the closet and come up with this. I know it's not completely boutique, but I just don't have it in me to make a top tonight. Do you think it's gonna work?
Hey everyone! All the outfits look great! I have the sick that went through my house. Not fun. I thought I was going to get lucky, but NOOOOOO.
Ok, I know you all have been waiting to find out.The winner of the mommy and me outfit is.........
100acreprincess!!!!
I'll PM you later. I am going to go lie down for now.
Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find out a user manual for this sewing machine? It is a National Sewing Maching Co. Model B400. I can't find it online and I checked with one of the large suppliers of manuals. Anyone seen anything like it before?
I have to decide whether I try to use this one or buy a new one that I have a manual for.
Okay, here are a few pictures from our trip this past September. I made these simple little pants which were really comfy for my little one. They were perfect when we ended up at the GF beach one afternoon. We were just going to check out the hotel but then decided we needed to go down to the water. My dd loved playing in the sand and we stayed until it got dark and the rain hit

How cute! What agreat looking family!I guess you just never know with the dye - we did some for our family - got wet and no problem - i guess its just a 50/50 shot at the running???
That is soooo cute!Riley wanted me to make something for Drew to wear to her basketball games. Riley also wanted me to tell you that Drew doesn't tuck the shirt in all dorky like that and that I just did that so the words showed up in the picture!

This is HILARIOUS!The Luke:
(yes, that is drool on the sheet, and no, I did not paint those walls! They were like that when we moved in and I took this photo before the room got re-painted)
this is the kid that actually fell asleep on the merry-go-round last October.
I haven't seen those top two! My dd4 would love that tink!Ok I am going abck and reading. My you ladies have been busy today while I was gone! I had to go to Dallas to take DS to Scottish Rite and get his new braces and I passed a Jo Anns! I was so excited! I didn't have much time so I was limited to what I got. And nothing was onsale blah. I am sure everyone has already seen these but they were new to me.
Tink and blue hearts that looks like her wings put together. No clue what I am going to be doing with it but I liked it.
DD has said she wants something Jess like so I have been looking for boy material to match for MGM.
And I KNOW everyone has seen this but I was so excited to get it! DD found it online about a year ago and begged for it. I could not find it anywhere but I did today and got 4 yards! I am going to do one of the cirlcle skirts with tulle under it and pirate shirt with a corset to wear for MK next Dec. She will wear leggings under. I know ambitious considering I do not sew really yet ... but I have faith.

I finally finished my other DDs valentine dress.
Oh, this is my new machine! Still figuring it out.
Okay, LOVE this! Please share instructions if you don't mind?had to share my newest headband.
She is such a DOLL!Ok, here's the Emma... I have no idea where this came from, but she does it all the time!
GOOD LUCK! My daughter potty trained herself, so I am scared to even think about my one year old! I don't think you get that lucky twice!Ok, I'm going to be MIA this weekend. We are potty training and we start cold turkey tomorrow morning. I can't leave dd2's side, so I won't be on here much, maybe naptime and after bedtime. I also have a lot of sewing to catch up on! I just dread coming back on Monday to 75 pages to catch up on!!!! So, everyone needs to stay busy this weekend and keep the posting to a minimum
She is beautiful!I spent part of my afternoon going through my digital photos. I cried when I saw how much my kids had grown! I found some classic "poses"
Here is the Jayden version of the Emily
Here she is at Disneyland, just outside of Grizzly River Rapids with Seth and 2 of Sugarbees boys (NO CUSTOMS
