Just one more to go!
I bought some Aristocat Marie fabric from you know where a long time ago and finally used it. DD's middle name is Marie, so a Marie outfit was a must, but fabric is sooooo hard to find! I was also making a twirl top to go with this as well, kind of like aimeeg's cinderella, only with Marie's face on the bodice. It looks good on paper and I've got the pieces cut out and mostly fused, but I just can't bring myself to actually applique it right now. I've got a few more things to sew for the trip, so if I get those finished and still have time, I may go ahead, but it's on the back burner for now.
Ok, I think that's it for now! Thanks if you stayed with me till the end of this monster post! Now I've got some catching up to do. . .
Fork head. That's totally something I would say.
You know I just made B watch The Outsiders for the first time. He was like I'm gonna hate this, right? I was all "probably, but since it's a complete sin that your english teachers never made you read it, the least you can do is watch the movie!!"
I knew he'd hate it. I made him watch Hairspray and Crybaby (my very fave Johnny Depp pic!!!) and he hated them both, I had a feeling The Outsiders was gonna go the same way. I think he liked it well enough though.
Lloyd Lloyd all null and void!!! SWEET!
BTW I am way too young to actually know these things.
Gotta side with your husband on this one! I think it was the only John Cusack movie I've seen that I didn't like. My sister-in-law loved it, I should have known!
Don't quite know why, but this sent me into a fit of laughter!OK- it's a hijack of the original intent of the thread, but since everyone else is doing it, I'm gonna too!!! LOL
Just for you sahm1000- a pic I took from a recent concert I attended:

I'm with you, that and Patrick Dempsie (is that his name? From Grey's Anatomy?) who was the nerd on Can't Buy Me Love. I mean, Come on, what are they trying to pull?Nope, I remember it too!I use to watch it.
From Footloose on I couldn't quite accept Sarah Jessica Parker as a blonde.Then when I watch her on Sex in the City I get flashbacks to her geek role on Square Pegs & can't grasp the cool girl she's trying to portray!!
Hello Ladies and Tom! Been away for a few days (well, just lurking here and there.) I'll have to play catch-up tonight.
Next is the crayon roll-ups. These were posted a long time ago and have been on my to-do list since then. They are just too cute! And they come together very quickly, which is always a bonus. I normally wouldn't have put rick rack on the one for DS, but he said he wanted it "because it looks like dinosaur spikes." Who can argue with that?
These are great, what did you fill them with?? Sorry if this has been answered, but I decided to post before reading every post. I love it that your mom still had the "jug o' junk"!!!! That is great!!! Still have to get my bag out of the van and take a picture of it! One of these days I'll remember to do that!Ok, next are the I spy bags. Now after all the posts about these recently, I just HAD to make some. So, can y'all stop posting all these ridiculously cute things that I MUST make?Now, I must also tell you the best thing about these bags - I was remembering all these small toys I used to have as a kid that would have been perfect for these, and then I remembered that my mom used to have this huge jug of all these "junky" toys of mine - all the little toys and pieces of playsets that I had. So I called her up to see if maybe she still had it around. Sure enough - she did! So we went over and brought it home and dumped it out on the living room floor and the kids had an absolute blast going through all of my old toys! There was a TON of stuff perfect for I spy bags! I also went through my scrapbooking stash and found some fun stuff for them! These were WAY fun to make!
My thought is that I want to know how you did that!!! It looks great! I think it would look great in the Tink fabric!Still with me?
Here's an experimental shirt I made for DD with some thermal and some rib knit fabric. I had never worked with knits before, and I was dying to try one of those spiral hoodies I've seen on ebay. I searched and searched for the pattern for those hoodies (it's Farbenmix Jule but I could only find it in stock in a couple of stores - european, of course, and I'm too impatient to try and order from out of the country.) So, I played around with a couple of different patterns - Burda 9627 for the shirt and Burda 9676 for the hood, although it is just a plain hood - I added my own spiralie thingie. Anyhoo, I was thinking about doing something along these lines for that black and white Tinkerbell fabric. Thoughts?
Just one more to go!

More of my favorite movies:
Footloose
Footloose footloose kickofff your Sunday shoes (know I will be singing that song all night)
and
Flashdance
Just love that movie.
Melanie
Don't forget Grease & Dirty Dancing for the ultimate chick flik fest!! Great movies, but I never realized how raunchy some of them are until my boys watched bits of them. ds(6) just stared at the Flashdancer & ds(3) shouted "that's a baaaad movie, don't wook!!! Ahk!" & ran outta the room!
Almost Paradise was the theme for our 8th grade dance.
Lost my quote: 2cutekidz I love that McDonalds commercial because it reminds me of the Mother/Son dance last year. They had a dj who played that song and Jacob made me do it with him. Can I tell you that song goes on forever? I thought it would never end! It was the only time he would do any dancing so I didn't mind.
I do belive that calls for a picture of yourself!!!
Love Donny's shirt!!! I always thought he was pretty cute too!!!Glorib- LOVE all that stuff!!! What is the stuff in the I spy bags? Are those little beads???
And now.................. for your viewing pleasure (and mine) ............. I would like to introduce my teenage crushes....
Donny, the cutest boy from the 70's, Osmond!
and...... remember the hottest TV doctor EVER.... Dr. Joe Gannon??? (aka Chad Everett)
He's Yummy!!!
Uggh!! What a month! I hope it gets better! Was anyone hurt yesterday?I'm a little nervous now, waiting for the other shoe to drop since bad things always happen in 3s.
1. Fractured my foot slipping down the stairs 3 weeks before leaving for WDW.
2. A man rear ended my Mini van yesterday doing $4000 worth of damage and it will take a week to repair (all at his insurance cost of course.)
3. ? ? ?
Oooooohhhhhhhhh..... I GET IT!!! You're hinting that you want a more current pic of him! Well............. here ya go!!
Not too bad for a guy that's gonna be 50 next month- huh?
I'm a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock and roll...
Loved that show! I remember looking forward all week until it was on!
I had that record too! How funny!
Ok, I got a little bit of sewing done while singing songs in my head and looking at heartthrobs. Oh, Heather I forgot to say I used the ruffler foot on the bottom ruffle on the top! I hate it, mostly because I didn't know what I was doing. I have to play with it more I guess, I forgot to turn the tension way up like it said in the YCMT pdf. I chickened out for the ruffles on the pants and just gathered them by hand. Here is the completed outfit:
Ok, now I have to just get my house picked up and the kids and I packed. We are leaving for my parents tomorrow and it's quite a mess! Does anyone else have to furiously clean the house before they leave?
(That just makes me laugh!)
Hey Tom - before I head to bed for the night, I can tell you that Nana is sleeping right now, because she's going to be heading out to drive down here to FL to visit for Thanksgiving! So, I'll see if she can give you her answer tomorrow when she gets here.
I remember Emergency! Ah yes, Shawn Cassidy.....Hi Everyone,
Okay - how about do you remember the show Emergency???? I loved Johnny Gauge!!!! Oh, and what about Shawn Cassidy?????
How can I finish the face of the snowman on this top?
Time for Beddie By!!!! Good night everyone!!
The back does tie here's a photo
I made these shorts to go with the top
Here's another set I made with matching pants
OH NO!!!
I hope you find the stuff that Nana recommended to you!!! And, I hope it works so he can have his Kachow! back!!I'm not 100% sure why appliques bother him, it's sensory based. For the past year he only wears plain, no graphics, no silk screen, no applique boring shirts. Nothing that adds any weight, texture or anything-can he tolerate. No tags in anything either, since he was a baby. Use to be only 100% cotton for the longest time, but I think he's building a tolerance. because our Disneyland shirts were 50/50. His senses in his skin are in overdrive & what doesn't seem like anything to most is horrible for him.
Where are Spongie and Utahmama when you need them? These people need to be educated about the Osmonds!
I feel so bad that you all have not experienced "puppy love" via these guys! They were the heartthrobs of my day.....
I can see you maybe not knowing Dr. Gannon (Chad Everett), but... DONNY OSMOND?? You don't know him? He and his family have been all over the tv the past month!
Oooooohhhhhhhhh..... I GET IT!!! You're hinting that you want a more current pic of him! Well............. here ya go!!

Hello Ladies and Tom! Been away for a few days (well, just lurking here and there.) I'll have to play catch-up tonight.

Just had to jump in here--Spongie and Utahmama were at my house!
But anyhoo, I love Donny. And apparently he is a very nice guy in real life. My BIL was building a house for him and whenever Donny was around he was soooo nice to the guys working there. He even helped haul some heavy stuff around. I had the Donny and Marie barbies when I was little. They came with a poster of each of them (wearing purple). As a joke my friend and I hung the Donny poster in our locker in High School and the 2 guys next to us begged for Marie, so they hung her in their locker. Good times....good times.
I finally got all caught back up and just had to say that I love all the new creations on here. Oh and I also had quite a few laughs reading through all the crushes you guys have had!!! However, I think you all missed the most IMPORTANT and CUTEST CRUSHES OF THEM ALL. Here are MINE:
1. Mickey Mouse
2. Donald Duck
3. Goofy
4. Pluto
5. Chip & Dale
P.S. Ohh I almost forgot, if any of you need pictures, just let me know.
Yes, please, we need PICTURES!!!
The laptop seems to have survived "Lydia Attack 2007"! The screens a bit smeared from the kiss though! I tried to take a picture of it for you (Lydia hugging the laptop) but, I had limited mobility since the laptop was, well, on my lap and Lydia was on top of that! I quickly reached for my camera, but Corey had taken the batteries out! But, trust me, it was really cute!Thanks so much for all the wonderdul compliments on all my projects! It truly means the world to me! TeresaJoy- you'll have to thank Lydia and tell her that her reaction was the best compliment a person could ask for!! But please don't bill me for the laptop - I spent all my money on that Marie fabric!
Ok, now I have to just get my house picked up and the kids and I packed. We are leaving for my parents tomorrow and it's quite a mess! Does anyone else have to furiously clean the house before they leave?
Hi Everyone,
Here are a few pics of my creations - still a newbie and trying hard, but having fun and fortunately, kids are so enthralled by the cool fabric they dont notice the imperfections!!!
How can I finish the face of the snowman on this top?
Not sure if DN will fit in these jeans yet, but if she does, i was thinking of some red rick rack along the bottom? any other suggestions?
Jumper for DH
This is the top I was wrestling with!!!
Twirl skirt for one of my mom's Grand daughters
Time for Beddie By!!!! Good night everyone!!
that Marie outfit! Your applique looks perfect! I also love that hoodie!How can I finish the face of the snowman on this top?
I just wresteled with making a tshirt top - how do you keep the fabric straight when you pin it to the shirt? I decided to leave the shirt long for warmth - not sure I love it, we will see....
This is the top I was wrestling with!!!
