Why don't we make this trip report about 2012 & 2013.

[cogero]

So we are at 30 days today and I am finally beginning to get my but in gear, which is a good thing because we have competitions the next 2 weekends and one is an overnighter actually it is a whole weekend but it will be fun because my mom and sister are coming with us but it means 2 weekends with now sewing and G happens to be off.

Today I ordered the photopass from December, I paid our baggage fees and paid for the guaranteed seating on Spirit. If I wasn't pregnant I would of cheaped out but being pregnant I want to be comfortable.

I am going to work on some sewing this weekend.

I have a Tshirt order to do which is first and then 3 pillowcases for a big give and then 1 pillowcase for C for our trip. She likes them better than autograph books now.

I also have 3 pairs of shorts cut out for J, I think I will be making a list of what needs to be done. I also have 2 launches to plan for so I really need to make lists.

I have sewn every day since Wednesday and I Have been a happier person because of it.

I am also going to work on my mini planner while watching the Nascar races this weekend. I hope to post some pictures over the next couple of days since I have finished things.

This is what I worked on yesterday. I finished the pjs for Miss C

Today I am making the pants for Cs solo costume.

I am also going to work on pillowcases for a big give and a tee shirt order. while watching the Daytona 500.

So glad you've been feeling better. I can only imagine how wearing it was on you to have to be bus driver on top of everything else going on in your family. The outfits you posted are grand, as always. You find the most amazing fabrics and appliqués and your execution is always spot on.

 

[cogero]

Thanks Cheryl it was horrible driving over 3 hours each day.

I have been busy finishing orders and a couple of RTS things also need to work on launch sets and a big give next week.

today I have to pick C up early from school and we are headed to Pennsylvania for the first dance competition of the season.

I am bringing my laptop because there is going to be a huge amount of down time and I can check in.

My mom and sister are also coming with us too.

We are home from the competition and the teams did really well for their first time out. This was a strange compeitition with there was a lot of acro/gymnastics numbers. We aren't used to that. C had a new solo this year and placed 3 in her category which isn't bad considering she was against a pure gymnastics number.

I am working on lists of things I need to do for our trip. I have 3 pairs of shorts cut out for J and am planning my appliques right now. Need to also see what else C needs as she is down for one dress and possibly a second dress.

Right now I am working on a big give and a couple of orders and hope to share some pictures tomorrow.

 

[DMGeurts]

I wanted to stop by and say hello... You've been on my mind a lot these last few days - so I just wanted to let you know.

Glad Miss C did well in the competition - no surprises there!

Your trip is coming quick! Can't wait to see everything else you've made for it!

Love the new outfits!
I didn't realize you had a budding gymnast on your hands. I competed for years and years and years...

She is actually a dancer. She just happened to compete against a full on acro number. She is in her 8th year of dance.

We are actually heading to Port Cester tomorrow for another competition.

Too funny! We're heading to Long Island to visit my step-dad. After Hebrew School and tae kwon do....
I was on a gymnastics team in Queens when I was in high school. I grew up in Port Washington. I used to take the LIRR home after practice!

Just checking in to see what is new with you and how your plans are going. Have you made your lists yet? I cannot do anything without a list first!! I love everything you've posted and can't wait to see what you've done lately. I'm so glad you are feeling so much more energy now that that nasty bus strike is over. Three hours is a LOT of time on the road when you could be home doing lots of other things.

Can I ask you where you get your appliqué/embroidery designs?

Hope the competition goes well this weekend. I'm sure Miss C will do great!

 

[DMGeurts]

Stopping by too... Just to say hi!

Also to wish Miss C good luck at the dance competition today!

Thanks I do have been working on things in the morning except yesterday and today though I am going to try a few things when I get home tonight.

My favorite designers are froufroubyheathersue, misskenziemac, cutebykira, digitalbydesign(this is a Facebook only and not instant download) I also like bowsanclothes and divas doodles, linniepinne.

I try to get reviews when I use bowsandclothes and there is another sweetpeasplace that I will only use occassionally my machine doesn't like those designs as much.

I have never had bad designs from the first 4 listed. Some day when I get time I might try hand appliqué.

Stopping by too... Just to say hi!

Also to wish Miss C good luck at the dance competition today!

Thanks D. This is a solo only competition so I get to sit and watch a lot of numbers

 

[cogero]

The competition went well but it meant no sewing for me this weekend. Competitions take so much out of me and being pregnant it was even more.

Today I am working on finishing a patch order and I did cut out Cs autograph pillowcase.

I also planned an outfit for one of my launch groups. Will be posting pictures later tonight hopefully.

 

[DMGeurts]

HOpe you get some rest... Yay! Can't wait to see what you're making!

[babynala]

Congrats to C on her great performances.

I can't believe your trip is coming up so quickly. I'm sure you are looking forward to the warm weather.

 

[cogero]

i have been working on a Pixar set for an order today but am going to be putting it on the side to work on a launch set and some of the things for our trip. After I do a few appliques for Js sets I will go back to the Pixar set.

Here is an outfit I did about a week ago, I actually started it a while ago.

I also did some pillowcases for a big give but have to wait until the family receives them to share.
