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

[cogero]

I once had a studio I adored but had to convert it to Js room. I never had the basement set up the way I totally wanted but I am doing that now.

Once I get rid of the store stuff, I am going to put our home gym down there with my new pilates seat and what I call the machine from hell it is an elliptical climber (I need to ask my dad to have his men move it to the basement)

I work much better in my limited time when I am organized but really am not an organized person.

I hope to have an outfit posted later today.

thanks for sending me the link to your scrapping goodies....unfortunately didn't see anything I could use or need right now.

Ever have a day you just want to crawl under a rock and hide. I am having one of those days.

J was up before the chickens. I don't sleep well but generally get my best sleep between 4-6 in the morning. Well J also discovered how to get out of his room. So this morning he visited his sister first and pulled all her blankets off her and then decided to come see me.

Well as you all know J has PDD-NOS and is on the autism spectrum this means that once he is up I must be up otherwise he will find his way into trouble.

I had great plans this morning of doing a 2-3 mile walking DVD and relaxing with coffee before the kids up. Instead I settled him in the living room with the ipad and breakfast and got some YOGA in.

I thought I had a meeting at Js school this AM but nope that is on Thursday so then I figured I would finish the rainbow skirt which I did and get to work on cutting out a pair of easy fits (well couldn't get that done because I didn't have a size 3 pattern)

I came to work. I work for a family business and while I love my family they are a bit nuts. I don't have the patience for them today. So now I am counting down the time until I get home and hoping I will have time to cut out the easy fits and hopefully start sewing them.

Also today is a fun day as J has ST after school and then I drop C at MMA and take J to the sensory gym. Add in that I am tired and not really looking forward to the whats for dinner game? makes me cranky.

I am loving your new sewing space, but also very jealous. With four kids, all my rooms are taken up. So my sewing space is the kitchen table and I constantly have to move my machine.

 

[GrammytoMany]

so as promised here are pictures of my sewing space.

The overall view

Machines

Fabric

Cutting & Storage Area

I am happy with how it turned out so far.

Chiara,
Awesome Space!!!! Doesn't it feel great when you get everything organized and handy. I spent part of my weekend working on a sewing space. Couldn't finish because I didn't have the little bookcase I want to use for my fabric. Which is now in my car so this coming weekend I can work on it. I like how you have the fabric upright. I was thinking of just stacking it, but your way is better when you want to pull out your selection After I finish my space (Corner of a bedroom) I'll have to post a photo, too.

Ditto. I was going to say the same thing!

 

[babynala]

Sorry J was an early bird this morning. I hope you were able to catch a little break today.

Your sewing room looks great, I really love your prints.

 

[cogero]

Well I kept him up a bit later last night and he didn't get up and out until just now. Only thing is I kept thinking I heard him last night so I didn't get the best sleep.

Oh well sleep is highly overrated.

So how about a peak of one of the things I worked on last night. This isn't the greatest picture since it is from my ipad.

Going to try and finish these before dance today but we shall see. This morning I want to finish the shirt for the rainbow skirt I finished the other day

 

[DMGeurts]

That looks really cute Chiara - I love the pocket! And I love how you used the brown fabric for the bias trim on the top egde. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I hope your day goes better today.

D~

 

[Moodyzblu]

[babynala]

That looks cute.

 

[cogero]

well it is already going better because I was able to fix the part I did wrong last night.

So this afternoon I am going to try and get the pants finished.

 

[cogero]

So if you know me you have to know I absolutely hate confrontation but today I emailed the cousin who ordered this outfit and asked if she planned on sending any money and when.

My plan was to hold it hostage and if she didn't pay I would post it for sale LOL.

Well she is sending money on Friday but I am sure if I hadn't asked I would get nothing LMAO.

She is young but that is starting to wear thin she is 23. She is one of my baby cousins and her mom is one of my best friends.

Her son is my Godson so I feel bad since they are struggling. Well she emailed me and told me why didn't have Tyne money so now I am annoyed. The reason being her Dh got a ticket to the tune of $200.

So she is putting the second outfit on hold. I decided I would make a second outfit as my present to her son. So I am going to make him a pair of pants and a shirt Wong with a gift card

Joining in a bit late but enjoying your PTR.

For April we are trying Jiko for the first time.

We did Jiko for the first time last August and LOVED it! Food was great and the service was the best I've ever had at Disney. Loved the atmosphere too.

A little Disney planning news I booked the flights for our August trip today. I was able to get our favorite early flight on Jet Blue for under $350 a person. This flight doesn't always pop up so I was glad to see it.

I need to start doing some serious planning for April. DH has even suggested Rope Drop for a couple of days especially for DHS

Congrats on the flights. I seriously need to purchase my May flights.

Have you read about the new non rope drop opening at DHS? I was at WDW 1/4 to 1/9. I had a friend who went on the 3rd and went to DHS on the 4th. We all went on the 5th and she said that when she went on the 4th they opened early without a rope drop-just opened the park about 8:30 on a NON EMH morning. We got there about 8:40 on the 5th and the park was already opened. I returned on the 9th and again they open early without a rope drop. It is a HUGE improvement over the mad dash run to Toy Story Mania when they do a rope drop. On the 9th we were there early so right near the turnstyles. We got fast passes to Toy Story with no wait and got right in the standby line-were one of the first to ride. Got off and rode again quickly. Then we rode with our fast passes. So we rode 3 times before 9:30am.

So who wants to see the list of what DD wants me to make her

Muppet Outfit
Safari / AK Set
Princess Set using all 10 princesses
Haunted Mansion set
a New country skirt
and a Mickey Mouse set

I think she said she would be using her stitch skirt this trip.

Love her list! Can't wait to see what you come up with especially the Muppet outfit.


Loved the photos of your sewing space too.
