I am So grateful for the bookmarks and are going through them this morning trying to decide what to do with my stash. I have to say, though, that this is the funniest thing I have read in an online tutorial so far:
As explained last week, I have moved from an obsession with dressing like a jellyfish to action!

Here is the Wall E dress I made yesterday for my Wall E obsessed niece. She just woke up from a nap and wasn't in a picture posing mood![]()

I am a control freak just like you! With my DD I assumed she would come on her dd period because that is when they said she would come. But she was 5 days early and I couldn't tell if my water broke. That freaked my DH out big time. He kept saying 'what do you mean you don't know?!?!?" Turns out her head kept plugging the hole. Then my son I begged to be induced saying I know he is going to be alot bigger then her and asking so I could make arrangements for my dd(2 at the time) and they wouldn't. I actually went to the hospital thinking I was in labor 3 times and as soon as they hooked me up to those machines my labor would stop. I remember being 3cm and 80% and them sending me home. I remember calling my best friend crying because I knew she was less then that when they took her son. For some reason my kid like to have me go to the hospital at 3am! My son ended up coming on his due date. I was right too he was 2lbs and 2 1/2 inches bigger then his sister. When the nurses weighed him they couldn't believe how much bigger he was from her. I told my dr see I told you he was big!![]()
I certainly hope you have a nice easy delivery and labor and a good sleeper!

Oh, what a little cutie!!!! The dress is adorable!!! I wish I could find some of that fabric!
HOW CUTE!! I'm sure she lovers it!
Trying to find a pattern for a button up shirt dress style for Lily for her AK outfit. You know to make like a little khaki safari style something. Any ideas??/

Me too!My sister happened to be in a town near hers with a Hancocks and picked some up for her kids and a yard for me. Then we went to make pajama pants for her DS and didn't have enough fabric, so I gave her back the yard she bought me
to finish his pjs. Now I have to try to make something for Lily out of the scraps

I don't think the jellyfish dress is quite me. And I'm kinda waiting for my three year old little model to forget that Miss Cayla accidently stuck her with a pin last week. (It was very minor but she's a bit of a drama queen.)
So, my projects for today are:
trying to find something to do with the top fabric from Simplicity 2988 because I can't find the coordinating fabric;
Figure out how to bind one of those pre-quilted panels
Try to resist driving to the next town over to see if Hancock's has any Wall-E fabric.
I agree, the bowling shirt would be cute!
That is so sad! Poor little Lily, getting scraps!![]()
I keep trying to justify a trip to the Hancock's closest to us, it's an hour away! But, there IS a Disney Store there too.....
Jeanne you're a genius. I never make her pants (or shorts) Like NEVER. I just want something different, it seems like the same styles are made over and over for AK. That's definitely an idea. See why we keep you around?

Cayla, stop fighting it!!! Go to Hancock's!!!!
Sorry your little girl has been so sick.
I am surprised the AG food wasn't good. The one in Chicago is wonderful at least for breakfast. The best part for us now if I found out they can accommodate my DD8 gluten free needs! So She can still go there. We might head there over 4th of July when my mom comes in to town.

We wanted to go to the brunch instead, but they weren't offering it for any of the days we were there. I assumed that the brunch would be pretty good because how can French toast be anything but wonderful???? We did the lunch in Chicago in March and after doing it twice now I would definitely recomend sticking with the breakfast food!
That dress is so cute. I plan on using the same pattern to make Jenna's Wall-E dress. I love the color combination.Here is the Wall E dress I made yesterday for my Wall E obsessed niece. She just woke up from a nap and wasn't in a picture posing mood![]()

Here is a pattern I bought. http://www.lanetzliving.net/inc/sdetail/9676 I was going to do the same thing with it for Jenna, but decided not to. If you can downsize a pattern I will give you the one I have. It is a size 6.Trying to find a pattern for a button up shirt dress style for Lily for her AK outfit.

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 have a question. We are debating on where we want to go next year for our annual family vacation. DH has said no to WDW and the UK. So I have come up with Las Vegas and New York. Which one would you think would be more fun?

I was induced with both of my children too. Michael came at 40wks1day. I was 1 cm dialated and they hooked me up to pitocin around 2 am and he was born at 3 pm. They nurses and my doctor were estimating his weight at about 8 lbs. and I kept telling them he was bigger. Then a couple of nurses told me I was crazy, that it was my first baby and they knew better than I did about his size. Well, when I started pushing, I told them "he's 10 lbs, he's 10 lbs." and they continued to tell me "no". I only pushed for about 30 minutes and when he came out, they all said "wow, he's huge" and I said "I told you so". He was 9lbs. 8oz. With my daughter I was induced 8 days early b/c I did not want to be in the hospital on Christmas (she was due the 23rd). I was 1 or 2 cm. dialated already and they started the pitocin around 8 am and Parker was born at 12:30 pm. Very easy delivery, she weighed 9lbs. 9oz and we all actually thought she was going to weigh more.
