That sounds like a lot of fun Karen!! The recipe booklet you put together intrigues me!! I love that sort of thing! We use to make a lot of things like that for the kids at the daycare. It's such fun!
You are funny! Rotary Cutter Anxiety! I LOVE my rotary cutter, I use it for everything, I VERY rarely use my scissors anymore. It doesn't make my stuff look better though. But, it really does speed things up a lot, so you can get more done, so that you can use up your fabric stash, and then have a really great excuse to buy more!
Right now at our Walmart they have a really nice looking one on clearance for $7. It keeps calling to me, although I don't need a new one! I bought a nice big mat at Joanns a few months ago for $10 on clearance. Be aware though, that most of the mats STINK!!! REALLY STINK! Like a skunk! I think the ones that are sort of clear don't stink so much, but the ones that are a solid color are really smelly! (If you are ever walking through Joann's and think you smell a skunk, you are probably right by the cutting mats!)

I went to Joanns yesterday to check some cutters, mats and rubfflers out. Well Joanns said they don't sell the rufflers except for the viking machines they sell so I will have to get mine either on the net of at the little store in town. No mats or cutters on clearance. I did find a set by Fiskers and I was trying to convince ever so nicely to DH that I needed this and well he just kept saying I just bought you a Disney Timeshare so I figure now is not the time to push it. 
So it goes on my list of sewing things to get! Problem I am the least pateint person 
LOL that is funny and exactly like something I would do!I got a rotary cutter as a gift but haven't bought the mat yet. For small stuff I use a cutting board that is hanging on the kitchen wall to hide our remodeling mistake
It looks GREAT! I am really tempted to TRY appliqueing something! I am just not sure what! Probably Mickey ears on something how hard can that be right?Here is the beginning of my latest. It's cut out to be a halter top, but you never know....
I'm still having trouble with faces...faces and fingers...I don't know what it is...oh well. I like it. I think you can tell who they are...
I love the outfits! I was just thinking I wonder what I can make for DS next! Now I might make Buzz short and TRY I stress TRY to applique one of the Buzz pics on to a Tshirt.Here is the wall-e outfit I've been working on.
The Front & Back
dd wants a Wall-e outfit too. I still have some green, not sure what to make yet.
And this is for my sons friend.
This is meand this is my kids
To them...no big deal...but I just learned how to make a ruffle!!!!! I am so excited...i have always been so scard of that thing...but now...
I know many of you can and have done this...but I am so happy and I don't have anyone to share with at the house...
Love everything...I'm busy making a really cute outfit for the 4th parade next weekend. Can't wait to share...it is turning out so cute.
Another thing I need to learn how to do! UGH Ruffles! ok maybe I will try making a ruffle something next or maybe applique... so confused It is so pretty!here's something I made today:
they look YUMMY! I wonder if it would work with a gluten free cake mix... I might have to try them for my dd!Who was it that was having a cupcake theme party? I don't know you've had the party already or not, but I saw these on another message board today and they are sooooooo stinkin cute, I thought I'd post them anyway!

Hi!Here is one of two 4th of July outfits for the girls to wear to the fireworks and carnival we have near our home. DD4 requested a long (to her ankles) dress....yikes....and she got it....does it look ok soooo long??? Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that its a combination 4th of July/Ragedy Ann and Andy outfit from one of those make-a-books. So its sort of red, white and blue too!
Pointing at the ice cream man coming by!
A curtsey:
Now I have until Thursday night to make an entire 2nd outfit for DD3!Here she is in her favorite PJ's
Don't you just love freshly bathed children!!!!!
Ok, here it is, my dress-shirt!
I worked all day on this and like I said in my previous post, I'm now going to follow patterns and my mom is giving me her sewing machine, woo hoo!
I used the green trim because it was all I could find! It came out too short for a dress, so it's now a shirt!
I went to the store today and bought 2 patterns and some material, I'm going to work on those this coming week.
It was so overwhelming today looking at materials, I didn't know where to start! So I bought enough to make each of my girls an outfit and have some left over to start a stash.
Renae
Seriously Michelle! You are quite talented to be able to "mindread quotes" before they are even made
JK...thanks very much!
Castle...love those stepsisters and I can't wait to see the finished masterpiece!
Cheeseball...very cute dress and DD....whoo hooo
Glad to hear about the Wall E movie....I actually have a GNO planned for the second week of July (girls night out). Maybe we can see it then??
Very cute Wall E outfits too! Course I won't be wearing one myself....
Did you use a ruffler foot or the old fashioned way?
Here is the beginning of my latest. It's cut out to be a halter top, but you never know....
I'm still having trouble with faces...faces and fingers...I don't know what it is...oh well. I like it. I think you can tell who they are...

I finished Hannah's Bullseye dress last night.
I think the part that took me the longest was trying to find a good picture of Bullseye to use as a pattern for the applique. I ended up using a screen shot from the dvd.
I also made a little dress for her doll or stuffed animal.
I was hoping to find a more girly cowgirl (or "call girl" if you've read my trip report) fabric, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Hopefully she'll like it!
I was going to post this last night, but the boards were down for maintenance.

(or maybe it will eventually show up in some random location ) Sorry I've been absent for a couple of days. As usual there has been some amazing stuff posted! I have been 
and doing another local boutique with Jen/Sugarbees. It was fun. I even managed to make more money than I spent! 
I made some bracelets also this time.
That is so cute. I love the combination of fabrics. That redish one is really pretty.MAKE A WISH BIG GIVE

OOHHH... Cricut Expression and 4 Disney cartridges!!! I'm jealous! I did finally buy the basic Cricut and one Disney cartridge last month. I finally pulled it out of the box yesterday but still haven't tried it out
Those are so cute!! I'm going to have a cupckae themed party for Megan's birthday in December. Those would make cute guest gifts. I have also been thinking about making individual cupcakes in 1/2-pint mason jars for guest gifts (saw it on a blog also.)
I have the large Cupcake pan you used for your daughter's party, but haven't tried it out yet. I also bought the smaller version last week... tried it out a couple of days ago and it was a BIG MESS!! I couldn't get the cake out of the pan. I ended up having to scoop it out with my fingers and threw away all of the cake. I did use a cake mix that I had never tried before and I think it was too soft... at least that's they story I'm going with
I'm so excited... I think I have an upcoming WDW trip to plan for!!! My mom and I have been talking about doing the Princess 1/2 Marathon in March. The trip will be just the two of us, and we will not stay too long (probably 4 days) but Mom has never been to WDW. Now to come up with some non-clothing things to make for us!
What!?! You know...you could have made a triffle, stuck in the freezer for "one of those days"...NEVER throw cake out!
Wait, wait, wait...let me get this straight...you threw the cake out?
