AWWWW!! That is so sweet. I could cry right now. I'm sure you were so excited when you saw that little princess face.I was in China meeting Morgan. I will never forget seeing that little face for the first time.
You got in a van!!!! EEEKKKK!! That is funny and scarey.We saw Mary Poppins!!!!! It was so cool. I actually cried when I saw how much Riley was loving it. Being sick for so long has been really tough on her and I was so glad that she got to have her trip. We tried to make it extra cool for her. We even took her to Sephora and bought her her first real makeup (sparkly lip gloss!) and then bought her first "real fake Coach purse" as she called it in China town the next day for her to carry it in. I usually hate fake bags, but for a 10 year old it was fun. We actually got in a van to buy it!
I have not been doing much sewing lately, but I finally got a chance to the past 2 days. Here is what I have been working on. No particular reason, just thought they were cute.
Now I'm off to play catchup on all your wonderful creations!
I would go with the purple too.
Have a great weekend Steph!! Hug those kids nice and tight!
These are adorable!!! You need to include your Ebay / Etsy IDs in your signature!These are from years past:

Comfy sets for the plane ride last year:
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party last year:
This is one of my all time favorite sets (now retired from production):
And today I'm working on a pettiskirt order.
UN Be LEIVABLE!!! GEESH!! That is is just awful! And, for the manager to LAUGH about it!! That is just ridiculous!So cute!!!!
You really should write to Disney. I had a nasty experience at POFQ in Aug 06. It was my family of 5 plus 2 other adult friends. I had requested connecting rooms as I didn't know how well my DS would do in a room with our friends. They had assigned us non connecting rooms so I asked if they could try to find us connecting rooms. I figured we would work it out somohow if they didn't have them but it was worth asking for them. The manager came over and made a call to the room assignor who I assume suggested water view rooms (we paid for standard) and she said "yah, I saw those but I don't want to give them those. I'll call maintenance on these other rooms." So she went in the back to call maintenance and came out and said we found you rooms but they aren't ready. So we went to Epcot and called about 3pm to get our room numbers. We got back to the resort around 9pm and went to find our rooms. We got to the rooms and one of the doors was ajar and the room had no carpet and no furniture-the adjoining room had about 20 matresses in it. We're all tired and getting cranky by this point. We go to the front desk and the girl on was very nice and quickly got us assigned to water view connecting rooms (who cares about water view at a moderate resort with exterior hallways????). We had to wait a while for our luggage to be delivered. NOT a fun way to start a trip.
So the next day I saw that manager and told her what happened and she laughed.And then she told me it wasn't her fault.
I was furious with her response and total lack of empathy for me traveling with 3 small children and a DH who doesn't like to travel and is not a Disney fan. I was determined not to let it ruin my trip but when I got home I did write to Disney and someone from the excutive offices did give me a call. It was nice to talk to someone about it and they at least pretened to listen and care. I don't know if my letter made a difference-if they made any changes or anything but I'm really glad I sent it.

You guys look great!!! What a handsome young man!! Does he go into middle school now?but I wanted to share my son's graduation pictures with you all
My dress was a hit!!!Everybody loved it...
Linnette
WOO HOO!!!
GREAT idea!!!!
An outfit a week as an admirable goal!!! And, it probably won't give you a horrible back ache like my outfit or two a day marathon did the week before we left! 
She didn't have a stitch of sun before she went, and her legs, face, and arms are just fried!! Her face is the worst. On her arm, there is a wide white band where her wrist band was. She thinks its funny...I don't. I gave her a cool shower and put aloe on her..Now she's shivering under the covers on the couch..At least her cold is better. I know I shouldn't have let her go, but she felt better this morning...Now little Lexie is the one blowing her nose, and coughing...Oh welll....RIP Franklin.
They are a great big contraption! If you do a search for ruffler attachment, I'm sure you will find a picture of one. You need to know what kind of shank you have on your sewing machine to get the right one (low, high, or slant)
The outfits and your girls look adorable!!Here are my finished outfits for the girls. I tried to get some cute pics but Katie has way too much attitude today.
Hi Everyone,
Well, I have the shirts and shorts finished for the Big Give family - I'll send them out this weekend!! JHAM made me a bow to go with the outfit for Isabelle - but I cant find the pic!!! It was really cute and colorful!!
Wendy
So cute!!! What a sweetie!So Katie decided to get out of her stink and she brought out the camera and was dressed like this.
I can't even TELL you how cute this is!!! I want some of that fabric SOOOO bad!!!!I got DD's Wall-e dress done and i think the shirring came out pretty good:
This first one was a practice. I pieced together a commercial pattern and followed another from TJ's bookmarks to put the pocket and hood on.

Great job on the outfits!!!! Your son is such a cutie!!! (and I see an Ariel in the background, although I always look for the Turtle!)TMNT shorts (no, they are not PJ's because the ones I made him last June are now too small. That was my official start to sewing (except for home ec class and the occasional Halloween costume butcher jobs I did)
http://
I scored this fabric this week. My daughter wants to make hair scrunchies or pillowcases out of them for her Bday sleepover. Thanks to all who gave me great ideas. I might go back to get another yard and make the main part of the pillowcases with a cheaper matching fabric and the end of it with HM fabric. There won't be more than 8 girls, so that is feasible on our budget!http://
Denise, it's so nice to see you posting again! It sounds like you've had a rough time of it! Poor Riley! I can't believe the doctor would suggest that it was all in your heads!!! What a complete idiot!!! I hope you find a doctor that can help her. The poor little girl!Hi all! I've been gone for a while dealing with real life. I decided to take a break from all of that to post one of the few things I've done over the last couple of months since I've posted.
Aww, that is so cool!!!
Thanks for doing that!I was in China meeting Morgan. I will never forget seeing that little face for the first time.
That child is such a blessing! We saw Mary Poppins!!!!! It was so cool. I actually cried when I saw how much Riley was loving it. Being sick for so long has been really tough on her and I was so glad that she got to have her trip. We tried to make it extra cool for her. We even took her to Sephora and bought her her first real makeup (sparkly lip gloss!) and then bought her first "real fake Coach purse" as she called it in China town the next day for her to carry it in.

This last one came out too big. Little is kinda between a 2 nad 3 and I made this top in a 3 and it didn't really work out. The pics of it don't really show the capris and make the top look longer than it is. I am probably not listing this right now, I don't have an even half way decent pic. I also listed the round necked beach dress.
I finally finished them and I got more inspiration on a recent fabric shopping trip. I hope to have a few more funky/punky things coming soon. These aren't on the site yet, I just e-mailed them to her, I expect they will be up soon. YAY, me!! I'm so excited.
But I gotta go B is getting anxious to leave.

I don't sell on Ebay as much as I used to. They've just gotten so ridiculous w/their new rules and fees that I'm just not into it right now. Instead I'm focusing on my website but I'm sure by the end of the summer I'll start to miss Ebay again.
Somehow I lost a quote but to the person who made those adorable outfits with the red hankerchief fabric and black/white cow pants/dress. Absolutely to die for!!! And your children are just beautiful too!!!
THank you
Oh Laura I just love that pattern and I can't wait to see your finished dress!!! ARe you making the hat too??? Really cute
That hat is AWESOME!!! I totally love it.
Awesome outfits and your kids are beautiful!!! Welcome!!!
Thank you very much.
Oh Linnette I am so glad you had something good happen! Your son is so handsome and you must be so proud!!! I agree with everyone else....your dress is amazing and you look beautiful in it!!! Hope all is going better now!!!
Okay..I just had to share...today was the saddest day for me. This morning my mother was at the house, when she left, she was only gone for like 2 minutes and came back in the house. She said..guess what I ran over...My heart dropped. At first I thought it was the little stray cat, that I feed outside, then she said it was the turtle. This turtle has been meandering around on the property for some time. I've only seen him infrequently. Now if you live in Florida, you know what I'm talking about. These turtles are huge! he was about 18 inches across. Well when I went outside to see him, my heart just broke. He was in VERY bad shape. I will save you the gory details, but lets just say, all that was inside was now outside his shell. And to make matters worse, he was still alive and trying to walk around. Thankfully he wasn't in the full sun, he was in the shade, and I covered him up with a little towel, and left his head sticking out. I thought for sure he would die right away, because he was bleeding very heavily. But he lived for 5 hours. I called animal control, and just before they came the poor thing finally died. I had to dig a hole and bury him. The girls named him Franklin. I didn't let them see the gory stuff, just his little face. So we now have a little Franklin grave in our yard. It was just sooo sad, I'm crying as I sit here...
Okay...sad stuff over...Miss Ireland went to her very first waterpark (that she remembers...we went to Wet N Wild a few times but she was very young) and I guess the sunblock I put on her this morning wore off...cause this is what she looked like when she came home...
She didn't have a stitch of sun before she went, and her legs, face, and arms are just fried!! Her face is the worst. On her arm, there is a wide white band where her wrist band was.

Thanks so much!!I just got back from the store with the iron ons DD wanted, so after supper I will pop them on for her! I may be starting off slow, but one day I hope I can be as great as all of you are!!
July 2nd unless I end up going into labor before thenand I'm not counting on it. And to be honest, I am a little bit of a control freak (my DH is laughing about the little part of this statement!) and I like getting to the hospital early in the morning, having everything planned, and getting the show on the road. Induction works for me. But my DH really wants to race to the hospital so I feel bad that I am depriving him of this experience! He said he is going to do it anyway on the day of the induction, silly boy! So if there is an accident on 7/2 in Dallas involving a fool and his pregnant wife, it's us!
Oh, and the doctor thought the baby was around 7 1/2 pounds today and would be between 8 and 8 1/2 if I made it to the induction date (which is a week earlier than my due date). Thank God I won't be having another 9 pounder like my first one!

Hi all! I've been gone for a while dealing with real life. I decided to take a break from all of that to post one of the few things I've done over the last couple of months since I've posted.
Drew wore this in some pictures that my nephew did of the girls in their dance stuff. Hopefully I'll get some of those soon so I can post a picture of her wearing it.
I've done a couple of other things that I haven't gotten pictures of yet. I haven't gotten to work on as much as I would like to, but I am hoping to get back to work soon.
Just so anyone who remembers who I am knows I didn't fall off of the face of the earth! Riley and I just got back from a very fun and much needed vacation to NYC with my niece to see her sister who moved from KS to the big apple!
Riley at the American Girl Cafe in NYC!!!
She was actually really having a tough day and was so sick she didn't even eat her food. Luckily she didn't miss much. AG meals are pretty much the grossest $25 plates of food that money can buy! She got to buy Ruthie and see the whole new Kit collection and I think she was still a pretty happy little camper.
All of us at the Statue of Liberty!
Brennen (our NY girl nowadays), Brittany, Me, Riley
Giant needle and thread in the fashion district
Parson school of design! For all of you Project Runway fans! We neve did find the Mood fabric store. I know we were probably standing right in front of it. We were kind of like the 4 biggest geeks in the very busy fashion district!
I was in China meeting Morgan. I will never forget seeing that little face for the first time.
