Anyway, you guys miss me? I missed you! And I missed Heather's birthday and sweet story. I am always so exhausted when I visit my parents because I have to sleep in the same bed with Jacob the sleeping whirling dervish! I swear I didn't sleep but a couple of hours the whole time I was up there.
Loved all the new Christmas customs: I have got to get started on mine. Of course, now that I have time to make Megan's fleece Ariel jacket it is back up to the 80s here. And I am going to case that sweatshirt with the tree and Mickey buttons: so cute!
This is what I have been working on. There is a mother/son dance at the school Friday and the theme is 50s so I had to make a poodle skirt. Actually, it is a dachshund skirt. The pattern came with instructions for a pettiskirt: should I try it? It seems a little too flat and needs to be fluffed up. I am askeered though, the pattern did say easy, so how hard could it be (har har). I guess I'm taking a trip to JoAnn's tomorrow to get pettiskirt material.
I hope you all notice my JoJo pose! Jacob insisted I stand this way when he took the picture!

There is no picture of me twirling: I didn't want to scare you too much!
I know how you feel, I had to sleep with dd2 at my inlaws and her hair was all in my face every 10 minutes. And when it wasn't, her feet were! UGH!
Ok, if it's been in the 80's can I safely assume we'll have good weather this coming week? I'm really hoping for it, though I am packing leggings, jeans, ls tshirts and jackets just in case! How close are you to Orlando? I'd love to meet you. I don't believe our rental house has any fish

I love the skirt and the JoJo pose!!!! How much fabric did that take? I know for one for dd8 it took a lot! Please let me know how the petti turns out, wait... now that I think of it, I think I have a pattern too. I think one came with the poodle skirt pattern I bought for dd8, HMM... I must check!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much to all those who expressed well wishes for me. I'm still struggling with pain but I'm either getting more used to it or it's lessening. I'm still sewing and have very good motivation to get caught up by Friday - I'm going on a "girls only" weekend with some friends.

Amazing, as always!!! I wish I had your eye for coordinating fabrics. The best I can do is look at someone else's and find fabrics that are closely match!
Ohhhhh, I forgot to mention that I talked to the Mom whose daughter I made the turkey outfit for that M is wearing in my sig and she told me Thanksgiving was cancelled because her husband caught a stomach virus. Selfish me could only think of "she didn't even get to wear the outfit?" When I dropped off the outfit she was sick with the bug so I gave it to her husband. She never mentioned it or thanked me for it. Do you think I should casually bring it up? Or should I stop thinking about myself and just wait for her to say something?
Geesh!!!! I'd definitely bring it up! I'd just ask if it fit ok and if she got to wear it. Maybe she'll be able to wear it next year. And, if she doesn't plan to, I'd ask if I could have it back! That was a really cute outfit.

There in the background are my DD9 and DD2.5 and sitting in front is a former dance studio kid who has gone to Disney to dance in High School Musical. He flew in for the recital....

Thats about as close as I come to knowing a Disney CM
That costume is very pretty! And, are you saying he was in the actual HSM movie? That's super cool! And is this your ds?
I love the shirts for Ohana, I just had to cancel our ADRs for next week due to budget issues

Yes, I missed you! I feel for you having to sleep in the same bed as a kid. Ugh! However, perhaps it was the thought of something else keeping you awake....![]()

Clutterbug, you were SOOO close, with 99 posts. I just can't seem to break into the top ten, myself. I've gotta stop with the obnoxiously long, no one reads them anyway, multiquotes!!
Ahh, to be #2



Good grief you posted this almost 2 months ago! I'm so sorry I never responded! You probably long ago found an answer but I'll still reply. The top is shirred in the back with 4 lines. This makes the sash optional. However, I bought this outfit on ebay instead of sewing it myself so I can't be more specific.
