Thank you! He did. We are hoping things work out for her and she can start a new treatment this friday. I think the increased steroid is finally kicking in!

​

He is adorable and I LOVE his outfit!!!

I am so worried about Allison, I hope they can help her feel better and that you are still able to take your Florida trip. I am certain that must be a huge concern.

Thank you! We are keeping our fingers crossed but it is looking better for us to still go! YAY!

The cake is great! And I love the addition of the mouse ears to Christopher's party hat.

I'm so sorry Allison hasn't been doing well. Glad she avoided the hospital stay with an NG tube (yuck!) but sorry she had to increase the steroids she's been trying to wean off of. I just hope that if she persists with the pediasure that she will start to feel better.

Thank you! You are too kind my Andrea!

We had a GREAT visit today from Andrea and her two cute peanuts!! Jonathon loved playing with them and Alli enjoyed A's company. Christopher was being shy!!

Andrea was sweet enough to bring a little something for Alli! (Although, to us, it wasn't little!! Alli is in LOVE!!)

She also brought me over our shirts for our trip! She was nice enough to put some appliques for our breakfast at Chef Mickeys. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they turned out!!

Things feel like they are coming along. I put Christophers Mickey shorts on today and they are much too long. I will send those to my nephew and make Christopher a new pair. I will make the pockets a little smaller and the shorts.. shorter. I am not worried though since I inteded to make a pair for Camden anyway. I am glad I waited to make the shorts for Animal Kingdom, or I would have had to redo the length...

great news Alli is feeling better

oh my those shirts are so cute!!! love the fabric on the MH's!

that Andrea is a sweetie

I'm so glad Alli likes her Tink shirt

FYI to those reading along -- the Tink was a surprise. Amy's mom bought all the red shirts and appliqued them for Amy. Loree did the names for us since I don't have a program to combine fonts -- she sent Amy the files and we just stitched them out.

And my kids want to know when they can visit again! I think they'd like to move in with you!

fabulous job on the shirts Andrea and I love the material you used on the Tink Shirt.

 

[DMGeurts]

Phew... Am I late to this party or what???

I didn't even realize you had a PTR going until Andrea linked to it in the Disbou thread...

I sure hope Alli is feeling better by now?

I missed a birthday too... Happy (belated) Birthday to Christopher!

And I love everything you have made so far... It's all so cute! I can't believe how much you have accomplished! Great job!

Joining in! Like D~, I didn't know you had a PTR until Andrea linked to it.

Love the pictures on the first page! Your family is adorable.

I so hope that Allison starts feeling better soon and that her new treatment goes well. It is so hard when they aren't feeling well.

You have been doing a lot of sewing! I love the toiletry bags and the tote bags. The shorts look great too. I wanted to do a bowling shirt for our trip back in March but DS wouldn't wear it so I didn't waste my time. Yours looks great. I am in awe of the tie dyed Mickey shirts. I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. Love the Tink shirt Andrea did for Allison. I especially love the dark pink of the shirt. The Mickey shirts look awesome! Love the materials used in the appliques. I know I probably missed something but I think you are doing a wonderful job and can't wait to see what you do next!

Allison LOVES the Tink shirt, and was very happy when Andrea said it was washed and ready to wear! She wore it today when we went to the hospital for her Neurology appointment. It was the "last" thing she needed to do before starting her new treatment! They did a nerve conduction study. All was well and we got the all clear to go in tomorrow for the new meds. BUT... there is always a BUT! She has developed a deep productive cough that is causing a bit of pain. So, she needs to be evaluated for that before starting another new med. Any time she goes up on the prednisone it seems to happen, the littlest thing makes her a bit sick.

I also was able to finish the Pirate shorts! THe WONDERFUL appliques Andrea did turned out fantastic!! I am more than pleased. As is Jonathon!!

Ugh, don't pay much attention to my Crucked lines!!! THey are terrible I know!!! But I just didn't have it in my to rip them out and start over. No one will notice when they are on him anyway... RIGHT?!?!?!?

Can't wait for them to come back again too!!! Thanks for explaining all that about the shirts. I am a bit forgetful!! Sorry Loree!!

I wasn't sure if Andrea wanted me to post pictures of what she has done or not, but I am glad she sent you guys over to take a peak!! She has done a fantastic job!!

If all works out, Allison may start her new treatment tomorrow and we are all so EXCITED!

 

[mommy2mrb]

Alli looks very cute in her Tink shirt....hope the tests come out good and she can start her new treatment!

the little pirates shorts are adorable...love the appliques!!

The pirate shorts look sooooo good!!! But I won't say a thing about the one pocket with the crooked lines though I do wonder what you were drinking when you did that one

What length are you making the shorts for Jonathon? I am making a pair for a 4 y/o and don't know how long to make them.

Love the pic of Alli in her shirt! I really thought the junior fit t's had more of deeper scoop neck -- Tink really could stand to be a wee bit lower.

I got your e-mail with the olive fabrics. I'm thinking the mottled one for the shirt and one of the others for the hat. I won't get to it for at least two weeks though (unless you get really lucky and I can squeeze it in next week).

Hope Alli is doing OK today

 

[4monkeys]

WOO HOO!! ALLISON STARTED HER NEW TREATMENT TODAY!!!

Christophers shorts for AK!

 

[mommy2mrb]

that's great news...hope it brings her relief and she is feeling better soon!


those shorts are so cute! great job!

 

[VBAndrea]

The AK shorts are cute! I couldn't remember what you wanted on them and I'm mad b/c I just ordered a design yesterday and if I ordered another design I would have gotten a 25% discount. Oh well!

I just made a pair of Easy Fits with pockets and I'm doing a polo and it wasn't lining up right. Then I realized too late my hooped popped out on one end. I am desperately trying to rescue the shirt but not sure yet -- had to come downstairs to help ds with a report and didn't realize dh was making him ramen so he up and left! Grrr! It's a pain too get him to do his homework and now I have to drag him back here when he's done eating.

Hope the new treatment goes well for Allison and that she is feeling better in no time. Is she an artist? I noticed the sketch pad she was holding in her lap..

I am so in love with the pirate shorts!! Are you doing the pirates and pals cruise this go round? Or are they an Ode to Jake and the Neverland pirates?

I also love Allison's pink Tink Tee that Andrea made, so cute! Because of everyone's cute stuff on here and other TR's I got sucked into the fabric store on the way to J's appointment yesterday Not only did I come out with a bunch of Disney coloured ribbons and notions I also came out with a one year membership for fabricland *sigh* (small voice) "well a bunch of their printed fabrics are on for $5 a meter instead of $16 with a membership...so... really"

Did I already ask when in June do you go? We are arriving on the 5th.

Don't start sewing too much!!!! Your mailbox is going to start to be filling up in the next couple of weeks!!!

ACCKK! Still hard to believe! Lol! Don't worry I
#1 don't have that much talent &
#2 I don't have that much time!

When we were at the fabric store I had J with me and when I agreed to the membership he said Yesss! I asked why he was excited and he said that he thought I could make him a shirt or something... and then today he said "I thought that you were going back to fabricland...? Lol... That being said I am trying to think about what I can give back to the BG's So my brain is whirling a bit
