Anyway, I wanted to thank everyone again who made a custom for my girls. We got so much attention and so many compliments on the princess skirts and minnie skirts! Now to figure out next year's outfits. 
Hopefully, I can get some of you ladies to make my girls stuff again for next year.
Alexis looks precious in Ireland's costume!!!! You did an amazing job!Finally...I got some photos taken of the Diner Costume. This is Irelands costume, but Alexis is wearing it. The pettiskirt cost only 14 dollars!! yea!!

We're back from Disney! We had a great time. My husband who didn't even want to go on the trip had such a great time, he's already booked our trip for next year. Yay!!!!
how cute is that! great job. i have that same problem my DS2 is almost the same size he wears between a 12-18 month he just saw your picture and started singing m i ck e y m o u s e .where did you find that cute nascar fabric?Here is my newest Creation! I have finally mastered these Jumpers! Whew! I like to line them, I think it looks neater and it is softer for the baby! I made this a tad too big. It is a size 2ish and he wears a 18m currently. I am sure shortly it will fit.
and here is the back!
I am working on getting pics of the pirate one. but Nicholas is feeling fussy already today!

I'm in the process of tying on all of the tule pieces to make a skirt for my dd's pirate halloween skirt. Do I sew around the top to keep the "knots" from coming loose? 25 down and 75 more to knot! (Should be about 100 yds - one fluffy pirate!)
I have the fleece to make three of these blankets. I haven't done it yet though. I don't want to sit under two layers of fleece when it is 90 degrees outside!I still have to cut the edges too.
Anyways, I was thinking I may want to add something to them. Ribbon or Rick rack or something.
Has anyone made these before? Anyone have any ideas?
I am making a Mickey blanket, a Pirate Blanket, and an Ariel Blanket.
Just checked out your site with the clothes WOW do you paint them all free hand or do you use so kind of pattern (sp?) Either way SO Cool!!! You are very talented

Some things on the outfit that I wanted to point out.
I actually used piping on the hat and on the apron.
I also use duck cloth to give the apron a stiff shape.
I did cuffs on the sleeves for the first time. I even added a little button to the cuff.
The back of the shirt, has an iron on on Pop's Malt Shop, that I printed out on the computer, and the little cupcake on the Apron I bought from Michaels.
The glasses are from the costume shop, I just had to take out the lenses...LOL
I'm also going to add a name tag, and I'm going to find a smaller wig. This one, said it will fit children, but it's a little big.
Here's a few pics from our photopass, I still need to go through and delete all the bad ones from the camera.... I've flipped all these photos in photobucket, but they have a mind of their own. Now they decide to behave.....
At Pirate and Princess Party I forgot to mention the hook. Suddenly she wanted to be captain Hook, so Daddy made her hook, from the top of a hanger in the closet, a plastic cup, note paper, sharpie, clothes pin, and tape. She never put it down, she carried her little loot bag on it, and would hold it up at the treasure spots!
Her Epcot outfit, that hardly anybody saw, it rained alot, so she went barefoot, and was covered in a poncho in the stroller, so much for the shoes! Note my skirt I made it at the last minute, I got lots of attention too. Someone even offered to buy it off of me. Sorry, I need some sort of bottoms for the day.!
Here's Wendy checking out DD outfit. She got tons of attention this day! She was showing Wendy her brothers on her necklace.
The highlight of her trip, I have video of her jumping up and down, screaming, ANNIE ANNIE ANNIE, as they walked to the photo spot!

My little princess
Gosh darn it, aren't we stinkin cute!
Castle creations that diner costume is way too awesome! I love it! I should make one for me!
Although I won't be sewing for a while, I must convert my scrapbook room back into a scrapbook room.I've been printing pics, now I gotta have someplace to put them
I thought scrapbooking was messy, sewing is a lot worse. Fabric and strings stick to everything!
Alexis looks precious in Ireland's costume!!!! You did an amazing job!
Just the fact that the apron is white, would guarantee my dd would shmutz some S'mores all over it. I'd have to bring Shout towelettes. My Norah's such a messy little princess.
I'm off to cut out and get started on this much dreaded witch slash ballerina costume. Mine's nearly done, so I'll post em when I'm done. I plan on taking my sweet time with what I have left to do!
TEN more days till the Utahans pass through the Arch of Wonder.
ONE day left of my 30's!!!!! Crap, I'm 40 tomorrow. What are these wrinkles doing showing up 1 day early???? Heh...

! Thanks for all your help with Emma's outfits. I may pop in here and there before we leave - but in case I get lost in panic land - SEE YOU ALL AFTER the 23rd! We are so excited - but I am in pack, clean, shop stress mode. I keep telling myself to BREATHE!!! I saw a license plate frame this AM that said "I'm too blessed to be stressed" LOVE IT! Karrierock- Your pictures are wonderful! You have a beautiful family.
Castle and revrob - Cute, cute costumes!
Not sure when you're going, but we leave 12/8 and we're at 87 days.
WooHoo! Have a great trip and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
I haven't touched my scrapping in months either. Good thing, I don't think I can afford to buy supplies for both addictions, err hobbies, at once.
We are off tomorrow for 10 days in the WORLD
I've gotten fabric and a pattern for 2 flannel robes for the kids, stabilizer, elastic, 2 spools of bobbin thread, and pirate fabric for applique shirts for DS all for 40% off.I have the fleece to make three of these blankets. I haven't done it yet though. I don't want to sit under two layers of fleece when it is 90 degrees outside!
