Its funny that I was thinking the same thing about Tom's dresses. He does beautiful work but all that white does scare me.It goes without saying that this is beautiful. However, I must admit my next thought was that either you are a very brave man to use so much white in your DD's outfits or your DD is exceptionally careful. I don't even buy white tees much because they invariably end with stains.
Hi Everyone,
Anyone live near Philly? I went to "fabric row" today, and I have to say I was disappointed. Like really no disney fabric - lots of furniture fabric and fancy stuff - and then the cotton stuff was like 7.99/yard. I guess I was thinking tons of cool fabric and cheap prices~~oh well,,,,did I miss anything??????

Maggi I'm in DFW also. I'm guessing you're some where out near Irving or north of the airport from what you posted? My BIL use to work for Delta, so I'm familar with the area somewhat.
I'm the gal who posted about the cooties on the airplane blankets. I'm a germaphob in a way. Especially when it comes to travel & recycled airplane air etc.
Hi Maggi,
Welcome! My sister is in your area-she is transplanted from Michigan as well! She is in Midlothian (she doesn't sew and refuses to go to Hobby Lobby for me
What part of Michigan are you from?

Well, all my friends and my dh laugh at me, because anytime I'm asked that question I hold up my hand, palm side in, and say, "I'm from the middle of the mitt, (while pointing) from a little town called Edmore. It had one blinking stoplight and more bars than grocery stores." But the Michiganders will know exactly what I'm talking about. Probably not where I'm talking about, but my method of describing it will be familiar!! My dad still lives there in a stone house my grandfather and his father built together, way out in the country. He loves it there, doesn't mind the snow and says he's never moving.
I, on the other hand, detest the snow. I can handle the intense summers here, although this one was kinda wimpy compared to what's normal.
I know exactly where Midlothian is....awww, if you even need someone to go to Hobby Lobby for ya, just let me know! We have two here, the fabric selection isn't quite what it used to be, but I can always use a good excuse to go in!

Morgan went to her first Ren faire today. At first she was a little unsure, but quickly got the hang of it.
She met the Queen and was personally invited to her tea.
Full length of her dress
She just ran in here and told me she wants a gold dress next year LOL.

WHERE IS JORD????!!!???? WHERE IS JORD????!!!????[/SIZE]
Hello All!
Wanted to share a pic of the kiddos all dressed up for Trick or Treat. Max's bear costume was from the Land's End outlet way back before he was even born ( MIL bought it) but it was def. warm and comfy! Laila got a lot of comments on her Cowgirl- and she kept tipping her hat at people!!
She actually wore a diff. Halloween outfit everyday- now to start on fall/Thanksgiving!!
Sort of OT- but has anyone had problems with the tulle from the tutus - like condensing and not being nearly as puffy? I used the tulle on a roll from Hobby Lobby and it totally deflated. Do you think ironing the strips on low and spray starching them would bring it back to life?
Finally, we are off to Epcot and Liliana is in her minnie dot outfit. We will be looking out for disneymommieof2 and her family.
Hopefully I get good pics of little in her minnie outfit.
Oh and today is our anniversary, I'm so excited, I get an Anniversary button at WDW!!!

Hmmmm.... Nope, not a designer!

Here is Riley in her vampire bride costume! She watched me make it and kept saying "not too puffy, I want it to be scary" and I kept adding and adding the tule saying "it's not going to be puffy
I cheated on Drew. Here she is in her store bought costume!
WooHoo!!!! Halloween is officially over! I am going to start on Christmas right now!
I love looking at everyone's halloween outfits. Megan came down with pink eye. I let her go anyway but now she is stuck with me today and tomorrow so I am not getting anything done. At least she is very good about letting me give her the eye drops (so far). I am trying my hardest to stop touching my eyes, but it is so hard! I do not want to get this too.
My mother bought this ridiculous costume for Scrappy. Next year I will make him something myself so it will long enough! He did not care for it either, surprise!
Okay, here is my HSM cheerleading outfit. Donno know if you can see, but between each pleat on the white is a black painted music note. Down each sleeve of the under shirt on one side says "GO" the other says "WILDCATS". I also embelished her bag and sewed the pom poms straight to the bag so she didn't have to carry them. I also made the hair bow streamers.
Somebody is seriously laughing at you I'm afraid! Talk about extremes, yikes! Is it actually safe to leave when it is that cold? I really can't imagine. I lived in Cleveland for a year and thought I was going to die from the cold, but they have nothing on you guys!
So I made my first tiered twirl skirt for my DD for Halloween. I started it a couple of weeks ago and I never really got a chance to put the ruffle on and add the elastic casing and elastic. So time flies by and I end up trying to put the finishing touches on it on "Halloween Eve". I start working on it after getting the kids in bed at 8. Start cutting my ruffle fabric and ruffling(with my ruffler foot) all is going well until I ran out of my ruffle fabric, stabbed my hand with the seam ripper and broke a needle. AGGHH I finally finish the skirt at 1:30am.
So after being up TOO late I don't hear the alarm clock going off because I am exhausted so I wake up 10 minutes before the bus comes. My DD REFUSES to have to be a "car rider"(being dropped off by your parents). So we get her dressed in her nice newly finished twirl skirt and pack her lunch and she makes the bus. Then after she gets off the bus I ask to do a quick twirl for me since I didn't get a chance to see her spin in the morning. My very accident prone 6 year old does half a spin and falls FACE FIRST into the corner of the wall!!!!! She caught her fall with her head. She has this HUGE goose egg on her eyebrow and forehead! This is 2 hours before trick or treating and she WILL be going and wearing the Tooth Fairy Dress from heck!!! I make her lay on the couch until I can get the Dr. to call me back. They give me the head injury check list and my DD iced her head for quite a while but she was able to trick or treat!
Yes my clumsy DD was the first to be injured in her twirl skirt!!!!! I know our motto is there is no such thing as too much twirl, but I think this particular skirt had TOO much twirl!!
Too tired to post much, I promise to return to my formerly chatty self ASAP..
But heres a bit of our Epcot Day
On our way
Lily's first Kidcot experience...I wish I'd cropped my double chin outta this one
Kids are friends NOT food
Lily just HAD to get a pic w/ Figment-but she wouldn't stop making THAT face
You can see her bow really well in this one (Thanks to my2angels for the minnie and halloween bows- she did an excellent job!)
But really we took this pic to show off our little pin trader- she ended up picking simba and cinderella. Gotta raise em right, ya know?
I also ran into another disboutiquer while we were at Epcot, though it wasn't disneymommieof2. I hate to admit that I didn't know her name, but I had seem the dresses her girls were wearing. That's SO COOL. I also spotted a Dis'er at the Kona Cafe at the table next to us. My family thought I was nuts. I kept looking at her and finally asked if she was a member of the disboards, she looked surprised and said "How did you know that??!!" I told her the "Passporters" and the Crocs gave her away!! How 'bout that, I spotted a Dis'er w/out a hint of lime green!!! I'm good
