When do Feb rates come out????

 

[karebear1]

Should we organize a special event for our Dis Meet trip?? I'd be happy to look into it!

I also have the DDE- so we can use mine as well as t-beri's if we need to!

The twins were so tired

your girls are gorgeous! It looks like they had a lot of fun!

Woohoo! I finally got Hannah's dress finished last night and will ship it out today. I test fitted it on Zoe since the two girls seem to be about the same size. My photos with her "modeling" didn't come out so I just put it on my largest dress form so I could have photos for my portfolio. I sure hope Hannah and Heather (MAW Big Give #1) like it.

Gorgeous! Anyone would love it! Someday maybe I can afford a Lisazoe outfit! I love everything you do!

That looks like a lot of fun! Gotta love those mental health days!

Oh man, I'm so tempted to jump on this (assuming I'd be welcome ). Is this a ladies only trip or will some be bringing kids? I ask because IF I were to go, it's more likely to happen with Zoe than without. Not that I think I could realistically do the trip since we're in Oregon and flights would add a lot to the total cost. I can dream though....

Heather will have her 2 kids and I will have my 4 (well 5 if you count DH) We would love to meet you and Zoe!

When do Feb rates come out????

I was just looking in my passporter and last year I think they came out on August 5.

Hey everyone. We are back from our vacation to Traverse City Michigan. We had a fun time, and the girls enjoyed themselves. Tuesday morning was prettty dreary and wet ... the kid cruise we were goign to go on was cancled. But it was the cherry festival and we found other things to do around town. Here are some photos of the trip. I missed you all.




The sand castle

The girls all 4 shared a king bed. One girl for every corner. Sierra in the morning

The girls loved the hot tub.

You have beautiful girls and it looks like they had a great time!!

Yeah, I made that same mistake with Lily's minnie top.

I will definitely give it a little bit of an a-line if I did that again
...t.

I think it's adorable!

We took a mental health day today...and headed to the mall. Someone, who shall remain nameless, told us about the sale at the Disney store, so I just had to go.. I wound up with 4 pair of sunglasses, 2 pair of pajamas, 4 tee shirts, 1 pair of sneakers, and something else..can't think right now...
Then I hit up Yankee Candle for some seriously overpriced Starfruit and Orange sented candles...yummy
Then up to the food court for a huge oversided piece of pizza, and then off to the nail salon. Ireland and I both got ours done.
It was fun!!
I have been sewing my fingers off making those crayon roll up thing-ies..I only have 4 left to make. I am making one for each child in Alexis' preschool class.
I also found a great deal on flower leis...7 cents each...yup 7 cents...they were on clearance at CVS. I bought all that they had!
Here are some photos of the previous events ...

My Mickey nails...don't worry, he's only on the thumbs..

Sounds like a great day and I love the mannis.

I tried to comment on everything in the last 15 pages or so, but I got overwhelmed and gave up!

I am here! I'm reading along, but I've been gone all day and haven't been able to comment.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT FEBRUARY!!!

Lisa, you are most definitely welcome! I'm bringing both kids and my mom and I think everyone else is bringing their kids.

We are planning on staying at POP and we'll fill up whole room with 4 of us. But, you're all welcome to sleep on the bathroom floor!

Yes, we need some sort of special event planned for us all! Any ideas!

Who all is definitely going in Jan/February and who is thinking of going? I'll start a list and you copy and paste the list and add yourself! Add your name if you live in Florida and you want to drive there to meet us for the day, too.



Definitely going in Jan/February:

HeatherSue: 2/3-2/10


Maybe going in February:

I was gonna mention it. I also will have the Disney Dining Experience which will get 20% off food at most locations for up to I think 10 ppl. So, getting rooms w/ my AP and sharing them may work out less than a pkg. deal. W/ the current AP rates I got Coronado Springs for $144 a night. In Feb. I expect better rates. The 4-15th of Feb. is one of the lowest expected attendance levels of the year, so I expect pretty good rates. The only thing is you have to check closer to the date. LMK if you guys wanna look into sharing a couple of rooms.

...t.

ooooh a Dis board WDW party!!!!!!

MAW Big Give - GoofyDoo

Here is the shirt for Clay. I skipped the sponge like circles on him because I really like the way it looks now. Do you guys think that is okay? I was just going to do circles outlined in the gold but afraid it will take away from sponge himself (and that they won't be too circle-y when I am done).

It is raining out right now so no modeled pictures!

Wow, it's perfect just like that! Very Spongie! I need to work on my applique. You guys do cool stuff!

Ok. Let their be Lily's!!! and coordinating outfits

 

[minnie2]

Okay, I would make your squares 6x6" plus seam allowance, so if you like a 1/4" seam allowance, then make your squares 6.5" X 6.5" then make a 2" band at the top like this:

Make the band the same width as your top tier. Since her waist is 22" I would double it but since 6 doesn't go evenly into 44, I would just make 7 squares for the top tier and make it 42" (or 8 squares and 48", either way) The solid top strip I would cut 42.5" x 3.5" so you have about 1 1/4" to fold over and make about a 1" casing for your elastic. For the second tier, I would double the first and make 14 squares and for the bottom tier I would make 28 squares. Let me know if it doesn't make sense. I find that having the narrow solid band at the top makes the casing much easier.

Patchwork twirl skirts are very forgiving!

For my DD who's about the same size I make 2x twirl skirts. Roughly. I make my first tier at 8 squares, cut 6.5". I sew with a 1/4" seam. Second tier is double that, 16 squares. Third tier is double the second, or 32 squares. This part of the skirt will end up 18" long.Then I put a ruffle on the bottom that's about 1.5" wide.

Then I make a yoke for the top that's 24-25" long by about 3" wide. Sew a casing for 5/8" elastic at the top, then sew it to the top tier. Then thread the elastic, put it on DD, and fix the elastic size. The yoke makes it so much easier to fit - the elastic goes through there much nicer.

You'll need 56 squares that are 6.5", 16"x width of fabric for the ruffle, and 3"x25" for the yoke.

My first tier is 6x8 = 48", tier 2 is 96", tier 3 is 192", ruffle is 288"! My overall skirt is 3x6=18, +1.5 ruffle = 19.5, + 1.5 yoke =21" total length.

The easiest thing for me is to sew the tiers together from the largest to smallest, so first is the ruffle to tier 3, tier 3 to tier 2, tier 2 to 1, tier 1 to yoke. I have started going back over all my straight stitches with an overlock, to lock in some of the ruffling that's not-so-perfect and to eliminate 'hairy' insides. I also hand-gather as I'm not so good at precision ruffling with my ruffling foot - it takes over an hour to do

This pic is from May: DD likes them long - this goes from about an inch under her belly button to probably 2" below her knee.

I'm thinking about a blue twirl with a Cindy top for our next trip!

Deb

thank you guys so much! I LOVE both of these skirts!!!!!!!!
