AAAAHH!!! I had a more obnoxiously long than usual multi-quote going when ds1 restarted my computer for me. Thanks Sawyer! Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone for their sweet comments on the nightgown I made. It's really big, but Tessa loves it and says it's "comfy cozy".
I also wanted to share my big '90's hair with you all. This is the story of how I met my husband- at the MALL!! The 2nd pic down showcases the biggest my hair ever got. It was just me, my curling iron, and a bottle of Stiff Stuff.

IT'S SUMMERTIME!!! Just picture me dancing as I say that!
Anyway, I do have a question for you. How did you make the strip thingy in the back to put buttons on? I'm wanting to do a dress for DD3 (will be DD4 tomorrow!) and want to use that in the back. I haven't read thru the rest of the posts yet, so maybe this has already be asked and answered.

I don't have a clue how I did it! I just followed the directions on the pattern and it magically formed. Seriously, I didn't think it would turn out because the instructions didn't make much sense. But, I did what they said and it turned out okay. The pattern is McCall's 5224
My DD gets really upset when DH and I do the hot dog dance. We tell we can't help. I hear the music and I have to hot dog. Man it ticks her off!
I love ANY parents who tick their kid off by doing the hot dog dance!
Oh, goodness, you are going to get me all crying here! I still remember the day Mom and Dad brought you home, all wrapped up in that orange clown blanket. But, despite the scary clowns, I still thought you were the most adorable thing I had ever seen!
(you still are!)
How long before they kick us off the board for excessive sappyness?
(And by the way folks, I do an EXCELLENT impersonation of a dancing banana. Heather said so!)
She really does!
If there were 3 of her, she'd look just like that!
Just remember custom carseat covers are NOT considered safe. They are not flame retardant and do not meet the federal guidelines that are required. Using one will void any warranty on your seat and release the carseat manufacturer from any liability if your child is hurt in their seat, it may also change the way the straps fit making it unsafe in a crash. Just my FYI for the day.
Wow, I didn't realize that. I didn't know that regular car seat covers were flame retardant. I thought my DD's was just regular denim. Thank you for the heads up!
He went to get a new key for the lawn mower and came home with a new sewing machine. He bought me the Brother 6000i I was looking at to surprise me.
Now I am going to read through the manual.
Do they make a ruffler foot for this machine?
WOW!! What a husband!!! I hope your head is feeling better. I know how awful those migraines can be.
That's SO cute!! What an adorable girl, too!
Thanks to everyone who commented on my jumper and Megan's loose tooth. When I told her about each one she said, see, I told you they would want to know. She was especially glad that the "mommy who made the Simba dress" liked her tooth. She is a crack up.
How weird am I that I feel so honored that she was especially glad that I liked her tooth? She is just such a sweet looking little girl! She could be a model! I love the new outfit- GREAT job!!
Nothin' worse than a pillowcase wedgie...
I'm just sitting here wondering how you would know that!
That's really cute!! Great idea and great job!
I LOVE it!! It's so original and your DD is so pretty!
I want to add that I SO appreciate everyone's silly sense of humor on here! You all always put me in a good mood!
I am NOT meant to sew today!!! I started making a ruffle fro DD's Halloween outfit...it didn't work!!! After trying to do it using a basting stitch (it broke BOTH times) I broke out the dental floss. 
Of course I didn't have quite enough, so I shortened my ruffle. After zigzaging over the floos I startrd gathering. Much better, until I came to a section where the needle caught the floss!!! AHHHH!! 
I tugged too hard and heard the tell-tale SNAP.....the zigzag stitch broke!!! I decided to give up on that for now and finish DD's "Cow" dress for a birthday party tomorrow. While hemming it (not even an inch into the hem actually) The machines needle hits a pin...bending it into a "W" shape and of course breaking the needle!!!!!
