No, the instructions there were NOT from MS.

Silly girl, I have those in the bookmarks too!
Hi all! I had a long, busy weekend so I haven't had a chance to catch up with you all. But, I wanted to post pictures of Tessa's Buzz Lightyear dress that I made her to match Sawyer's Buzz Lightyear shirt. His birthday party was yesterday and it was a Toy Story theme. Here's some pictures:
Tessa picked out the green fabric, she's been bugging me to make her something green. This is Simplicity 2909.
Here's Sawyer's cake. I didn't get too imaginative with it this year.
Here he is blowing out his candle. Actually, he was just blowing, he never did quite get it blown out, Armind had to help him along. I see in this picture he was already sampling the cake...no wonder no one seemed too anxious to eat it!
Here's the only picture I got of them together in their matching outfits.
I love those kids!
What did you say..I couldn't hear you...:
Oh, you think you are funny, don't you!! OK, so do I!!!
Just dropping by to say a quick hi...we got back from our trip yesterday, and I have been busy doing laundry and unpacking....haven't had a chance to catch up on the board...I probably will start a trip report sometime this week...everyone had a great time, and dh is already talking about going back next year...
Welcome home! Sounds like you havea great dh!
Here is what I made yesterday and today. It is for my friend's daughter. I am not feeling the love for it but I had a hard time finding a third fabric I liked so I did the patchwork tier. Oh well, I hope she doesn't hate it anyway. She is my best customer I think I'll throw in a free headband or something.
I think it looks great!
She then in an very un-walmartish way proceeded to be chatty and informative
That made me laugh, because I thought you were going to say she was rude, and thatwasujn-Walmartish, and I was thinking, "no, rude IS the
Walmart way!"
Except for Jessica's hubby, who I'm sure is another exception!
Here is one dress that got done. DD2 is wearing it, so messy face and chasing her to get pictures was alot of fun.
DD4 was at gymnastics but has the same dress.
SOOOOO cute!!!!
I finished my niece's dress!
With a little luck I can ship it to her tomorrow and she will have it for her bday!
That is just darling!!
Had to post my newest addition.
Attikus is a month old already, I think I may cry.
Have some cute material for Disney in September. Now if he will just grow, that way the rompers will fit.
OHHHHHHH!!! I want another baby so bad!
Here is DD4 in her dress, she wasn't happy that I took pictures of her sister and not her.
You have adorable daughters!
Heather and Teresa....up to date on the trip reports. Can't wait to read more. But can I just say that the more I read about your "less than magical" experience with BBB, I really think you have to file complaints! I've read that some little girls had their hairdos last OVERNIGHT. I don't think an hour is two much to ask!
Thanks for reading! About the bun, all the other girls hair lasted through the night too!! It was just such a disapointing experience overall. And, noe I hear thev'e RAISED the prices again!!! They aren't earning what they charge NOW! I don't know why that makes meso mad, but it does!
Here is my latest:
Just and everyday outfit, but DD loves it b/c it is princess. She wants to wear it to bible school tomorrow.
cute cute cute!!!!!
Hi Everyone,
Here is Abby in the watermelon outfit I made her. I used some peoples suggestion about 1 button on the shoulder, and found watermelon buttons to use there!!
I used the 4/5 size for her - do you think i should have bumped her up a size for the round neck part? does it not cover the shoulders enough???? thoughts??? thanks!!
wendy
It's VERY cute! I was thinking it might be a bit big. And, wondered if you could have the material less gathered around the collar, so the front is wider.
She went crazy the first time she saw hay come out of a hay baler in a bale- she thought it grew that way!
Here is the top that I asked the question about a page or two back.
I was contemplating put another ladybug on the "peek" of the skirt but since the applique on the bodice doesn't show on the inside (the top is lined and I did the ladybug before attaching the two pieces) I'm afraid it will look weird with just one showing on the inside of the garment.
I plan on making shorts to go with this top and possibly putting a ladybug on one of the legs of the shorts.
I love that!
Sorry I have not been on much. Things at our house have not been wonderful.
The adoption fell through and we have decided we are done with fostering and CPS. We are going to hopefully try IVF or some form of it next year, we are still looking at the specifics of it all including the cost.
Callie, I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry.
And the Wall-e shirt
Front
I know that the circle is supposed to be red, but there isn't much/any red on the fabric and I though it would look weird. I think that I am going to make black shorts. This shirt is for Jackson. The 3-4 will fit him perfectly. I will make the smaller size for Coops. I think that Cooper will have a black stripe so that Wall-e shows up a bit better. I will make Coops yellow shorts, maybe. I don't know.
Adorable Stacy!!!
Heather and Teresa! I was searching around the trip report board and found a report about a young college girl who is in the Disney college-training program. She is writing about her experiences....interestingly enough, she is a FGIT!!!!! I was reading it to see if it shed some light on your very grouchy FGIT.....not so much....this girl is a ball of energy. But here is the link to her report
http://http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1828676
I can't get the link to work. I think I've seen her tr though, I'll have to find it and read it!
Thanks for the nice comment on the watermellon outfit - I gues what I dont like is seeing all the skin by the armpit/shoulder area - do you think maybe I spaced the panel in too small of an area?
thanks, Wendy
That's what I was thinking too.
Thank you for the link!! Did you see that I had a FGIT comment on my TR a couple of times? She didn't make me feel much better about the situtation, though.
.
Yeah, basically, she said our FGITs treated everyone
else wonderfully!
Can't wait to see the pettis in all of their wonderful fluffiness!!!
I hope you share pictures!!!
Petty Steph Warning: My neighbor and her daughter came by last week and they saw the nightgown on the table. The daughter asks me to make her one. This is the one I made the Thanksgiving outfits for and she never thanked me. I don't know if I should make her a peasant dress nightgown (much easier) or what. I really don't want to make her anything because I am petty.
Here is the outfit for the Big Give. I just need to add a ruffle on the bottom of the peasant top. I tried the rolled hem on the bottom of the skirt and I am not sure if I did it right. And the ties in the back seem too short so I might take them out and try a few rows of elastic thread instead. So I guess it's really not done yet, lol!
.
I love the nightgown and the Marie outfit! It looks even better on Megan than on Mickey!
I wouldn't make anything for your neighbor again! Did she EVER say anything about the Thanksgiving outfit???
gorgeous in it, too!
Minnie2: Teresa posted a picture of the 3 different shank types once and I can't find it. I'll e-mail her and ask her to post it again.
Um, yah, about that picture, it was in the OLD Photobucket account.....
....I'll try to find it again though.
BIG GIVE OUTFIT
So here is my BIG GIVE outfit I have been working on.
It looks great Beth!! You are really talented!
Where are the old Disboutique threads located?
I have links to them all in the first post.
WOW!!!!! You ROCK!!! It's gorgeous! I can't believe you even made shoes. That is just too cute!
Here's a link to the TR that explains it all.

We're making outfits for their daughter to wear on their next trip, after the tragic death of their son. I think they probably have about 5 outfits/day at this point!
I'm hoping we can continue the BIG GIVE with another family, or something, soon! Any ideas out there? Teresa mentioned that maybe we could make clothes for foster kids?
I've been PMing Callie, and I'm going to making some things for little foster girls she knows. I'm really excited to be able to help out some little kids that don't have much! I'm just hoping that I can make some little kids smile at what must be such a difficuolt time. Thanks Callie.
I used CarlaC's easy-fit pants pattern and made the capris. (They really are supposed to be capris...LOL... my little one is just younger and (hopefully) shorter than Isabelle. Hahaha. Then I was inspired to paint princesses all over them. I had to paint Snow White twice because the first shirt I used was way too big!!!! I guess I bought a boy's tshirt instead of a girls and it was way too long. This shirt looks better. Oh and then I got some white hightops and painted them to match. I have to admit though, painting princess faces on the side of shoes was NOT as easy as I had hoped for either. Hahahaha. Anyway....what do you guys think????
Love Scrappy looking through his doggy door. Luke saw those pictures of Megan and now he is BEGGING me to put a pool in our backyard.
) I'm sure I have 4 days worth of customs for Lily already.
Any ideas? This is the room I am going to put a long work table along the wall where DD is sitting on the bed. And the shelves will hold my fabric and notions. DH wants to put a peg board on the wall for me to hang ribbon etc. My sewing machine will go smack in the middle of the shelved wall.
