Hi! Mick here.
My mom spent last week making me clothes for our WDW trip in October. She's not completly finished making things for me yet, but I wanted to show these off to you.
First, here I am in my Chef Mickey's outfit. We're going to eat there for dinner our first night at the World, and I wanted to make sure that I was properly dressed for the occasion. (The pants are made of black linen. Good thing she has a scrap fabric box around the house to get nice fabrics from so I could look my best for when I meet Mickey.)
Next, she decided that I would need something to sleep in, so she made these cozy jammies for me. She bought the bunny slippers at Target.
We're also eating at the 50's Prime Time Diner, so I wanted something cool to wear. Mom bought the Van's shoes while she was in California this summer. She made the t-shirt out of an old tee. She made it so the back completely opens up, and it fastens together with velcro. It makes getting in and out if it a lot easier than trying to get it over my head.
She also finally got around to getting me a National's baseball hat to go with my t-shirt. I had to model it for you, of course!
Now,
that outfit is for dad. THIS is the true baseball team, according to mom. GO Dodgers!
When we visit Epcot I wanted to make sure that I am ready with my passport to get it stamped in the WS pavilions. Mom made my tee from an old t-shirt, and the sandals are from Target. (What would we do without Target?, mom always says!) The passport is made by Jolee's and she got the visor at Michaels.
Here's a close-up of my passport. Mom used velcro at the top of the ribbon so it would be easy to take on and off.:
It's a quick change to taking off my passport and lime-green DIS visor and putting on my sunglasses and pin lanyard.
Here's a close-up of the lanyard. Mom used grosgrain ribbon to make this. She purchased clip hooks and split rings from the jewelry-making section of the craft store and sewed them on to the ribbon, adding a snap at the top. Then she scanned the tag at the bottom of her own pin lanyard, reduced it and laminated it and hung it on the clip hook. She's going to get a flat add-a-charm when we're at WDW to put on the hook for a decoration, just like the medallions big people can get.
Okay - this outfit embarasses me. She says I might want it for when we eat dinner at the Kona Cafe. I don't think so. I think that I look like Minnie, don't you?
I look a whole lot better without the stuff! Mom couldn't find Hawaiian print fabric for my shirt, so she used the next best thing - batik!
The cargo shorts have nifty pockets on them - and all of my pants have a hole for my tail to go through, too!
The last thing she bought for me (so far!) is my new backpack from Build a Bear. It will hold lots of souvenirs, too.
Mom also told me that she will get me a rain poncho, Mickey Mouse and safari outfits, and a Pirate outfit for
MNSSHP when we get to WDW. She made the cargo shorts for the safari outfit and these cool pants for the Pirate outfit:
The only problem is that she has lost my carrying lanyard. "It's somewhere around this messy house," mom says. I guess that she'll have to clean every room untitl she finds it.
That's it for now. She told me to tell you that you can ask her any questions about my outfits if you want.
Bye!
) and I looked everywhere for the Santa suit because I had promised a friend I'd look for her. I couldn't find it anywhere on property. I'm sure it will be out in a few weeks....by October I'd bet.
