) this year. I can't find any Dr. Suess fabric. Has anyone seen any lately?
Hi everyone... I just wanted you all to know that Ireland's had an accident. She needs a little pixie dust sent her way. She will need my care for a while, so I'm not sure when I will be back online. We just arrived home from the hospital, and I have to tell you....it was absolutely heartbreaking. Hearing that your child has been in an accident is just about the worst thing... I'm tearing up now, just thinking about how terrified I was..I won't go into detail, but to make a story short, while my Mom was watching her, and I was at school, she took out her bike, and had a terrible fall. She wasn't wearing a helmet. We live at the top of a hill, on a few acres, so thankfully she fell in the driveway and not in the street, but she lost consciousness and didn't know where she was or who she was. My mother had to carry her into the house. She wound up with a broken thumb, split lip, huge road rash area on her cheek and chin, which is really swollen, huge lump on her head, a concussion, and fluid in her elbow, that is supposed to go away. So my little darling will be out of commission for a while. Take care all and say a little prayer for her, and I think Santa will be buying her elbow pads, knee pads and a helmet..and maybe put the training wheels back on...
ok, here two more I finished today. the lighting was horrible tonight! Really bad, but now she is super grumpy and in a bath thank goodness!
Are you all sick of this pattern, yet? One last hoodie. Jack is in love with Spiderman right now!
Okay, I finally got my Disneyland trip photos photobucketed.
Here are the kids outside of California Adventures. They turned the letter A's into candy corns. I appliqued DD10s Halloween Mickey head shirt, DS8 and DS5's Jack Skellington shirts, and DD2's Mickey head Halloween shirt and I made her patchwork twirl skirt. You have seen them all before! I couldn't find DD2's black shoes (until I cleaned the playroom yesterday
Here are the kids at Ariel's Grotto for breakfast with the snotty Aurora
And the sweetest Ariel ever!
Here is my family with Peter and Wendy at Mickey's Halloween Treat. Peter and Wendy were playing tag with some cast members and no one even noticed them! Costumes were purchased before I took up sewing and this is the end of the night where hats have been shed and sweatshirts donned. (And DS8 is sick of photos and just wants a soft pretzel).
DD10 on the chaise at Minnie's house--No Sewing Machine at Disneyland!!! and Minnie's house will be closed when we go to Disney World! What am I to do?
Hi, welcome to my mini-trip report

They also had the scottie dog with the plaid that someone made an oufit out of.
Part 2:
DD could not stop dancing in her princess outfit!
We waited over an hour at Princess Fantasy Faire and I am SO glad that when we got to the front of the line Lily's beloved "Lella" was there!
Last one, I promise! We were exiting Space Mountain (where there was no line) and found Mickey and Minnie off in a little corner by the bathroom. I looked over and Minnie was peeking under the hood of my stroller waking DD2! (She'd had a long nap and looooves Minnie so it was all good!) We were practically the only ones around except, oddly, a family that lives in our neighborhood at home.
Sorry, my red-eye fixit tool went a little whacky.
Thanks for playin'! Now I get to sew! My fabric just arrived today from Yummy Fabrics.com--so excited! (and it only took 3 days
My sister is pregnant. They have been trying for almost a year and a half and finally after one IUI cycle - they are pregnant!
She is due in May and now I have a baby to sew for. They are not finding out the gender. Which means I must find all gender neutral things for now. Here is my first project. Both sister and BIL are Irish so the flannel fabric seems appropriate.

Drama queen Lauren wanted her picture taken too.
Ok, more picture from me!! These are from Halloween night with their costumes.
Nana made the Mulan dress for Emily (before broken arm). And, I spent ALL night Halloween eve making Madison's witch costume!! Nana hasn't even seen pictures of the all-night witch costume yet!!!
Here's a picture of the Christmas stripwork jumper that I made dd. The strap are just safety pinned for now...I haven't decided if I want to attempt button holes or just put sew on snaps on it... it is a size 5, and I thought it would be roomy on my dd, but it really isn't all that big. I think I should make a size 6 next time...anyone knows if the sizing runs slightly small.
This is the third thing that I ever sewn...and I know it is not perfect, especially the gathers but I don't think I can take it apart anymore..the fabric are already fraying!!

My Grandma called last night. Of course my DD has this and was making a picture just yesterday. I am so over all of these recalls on toys. My grandma said that she refuses to buy any toys for the kids for Christmas this year. I am starting to feel like I agree with her! We have had some of the recalled toys already, but this is a down right deadly one!!!!! Especially with a one year old in the house.

I'm so sorry to hear this! I know we don't know each other, but we send her lots of well wishes for a speedy recovery...What a scary day, lots of 
going your way...
and was looking forward to ruffling with this before I attached it....can I do that?Ok, I know this is not Disney, but Morgan wants to go to Grinchmas (She thinks the grinch is nice
I'm pretty sure my girls wouldn't ever put them in their mouths, but I can't take that chance...and what if Baddog Bob gets them in his mouth, he's constantly cruisin' the floor for leftovers. Not that my floor is EVER that dirty mind you.... 
But, my scrapbooks are finished! Can I get a

Well just had a baby that took a few naps longer than usual and I have been concentrating on sewing. I have to get some boy outfits done now, so look out for those!CuteOkay spill what is your secret ? Do you have a sewing fairy? because everytime i get on here you are posting 1 or 2 outfits.

Another vote to be careful with sleeve length!! The short sleeves are usually ok around here, but the long sleeves are definitely too short. ALSO, the neckline is tricky. I've found the best way to do it is by shirring instead of making a casing for elastic. I've also used the binding method and it works ok, but I still prefer shirring. If you've not tried that yet, it is SUPER easy to do and much easier and faster than elastic.
Baby!!!!!!!
I did a real bow made with ribbon only because I can't applique! I think they both look great though!
