[snubie]

I'm so jealous that you all get to go to the JP sale! I wasn't sure if you'd want me to announce that you were going, so I'm glad that you piped in!

Megan is such a beautiful baby!! She looks like her Mama!! She has such gorgeous eyes!


Now Teresa, what have I told you about walking around squeezing other people's babies?

2.) Me too! But, I think it's the same time as I will be going to Florida, so I won't dwell on it!

3.) I know! Sorry!

Just so you both know, if you ever want to give Megan a squeeze, come on over to Massachusetts. We would love to see you. Or just plan a trip to CT for a Sis boom sale and you can get two things done at once.

Thank you guys for all the name suggestions! Last night was the NFL draft so dh was not in "middle name" mode. I have a few that I like right now so I will have to run them by dh. I am really liking Emily Elise right now. I also really liked how Emily Grace sounded too. Dh mentioned Emily Morgan yesterday. I guess it is a good thing we have about 6 months to decide.

My goal today is to have a pic posted of at least one custom. I spent the entire afternoon yesterday digitizing and got so into it I and was so distracted by people calling about the baby gender that I forgot to take dd to swim lessons! So, today at least one complete outfit and one more cut out.

One more question, yesterday I was randomly on the dining website checking out what was available...I wasn't happy with one ressie we had. Well, I checked an availability and in the suggestions it had a 5pm CRT ressie! So, I took it...lol. But I wasn't planning on doing a princess meal this time. So I am torn on having her wear the same pink cinderella she wore to the past two princess meals (CRT and Akershaus) or making something else last minute. Decisions, decisions....

I did get one thing done today on the sewing projects. The ruffled diaper cover.

This is deliciously cute!



My Grandfathers initials were ABC (yep on purpose) Albert Boniface Channell and I went to school with a kid whose initials were XYZ (purpose as well). I'm kinda dorky and like when initials spell something. I had a friend who everyone called Todd. His name was Thomas Owen Davis. However none of my children have anything unique or origional like that. We had a forrible time picking out names, so that was hard enough! Anyway, I lilke classic names so if you are going with Emily...how about Emily Elizabeth? Emily Grace is pretty, but I've noticed a huge increase in the name Grace.

My sister's initials were ABC until she got married....Amanda Brooke Carroll...lol. I don't think it was on purpose though. I also know someone who was knick named Tad because of his initials...but I don't remember what his real first and middle are anymore after calling him Tad for so long.

Uum I was 8 in the Aurora picture and 5 in the Poca pictures? I fail at math I was born in 89 so I think I did it right My name is Roxie

Hello Roxie! :Wave:

Can you tell me where or how to find the pattern for the crayon tote?? That is so cute!!

I think that was CarlaC's pattern, you can get it on You Can Make This.com

So here I am getting ready to sew at 2:00 am b/c my week was absolute crap (cleaning, planning packing...) so this is the first chance I've had and I knew only you guys would understand So if I don't totally crash I should have new outfits to post tomorrow. Although, I'm already feeling a bit sleepy
Bet you guys thought I'd forgotten where I parked my machine.

What are you making T?

Well, I guess I understand that. But honestly..... if someone can't tell the difference between blue Aurora and Cindy... they need to turn in their membership to the princess fan club!

Not that I'm surprised. My daughter wore a blue Belle costume at Disney a while back and you'd be surprised now many CAST MEMBERS called her Alice!

You would think they would know the difference, wouldn't you!

Just so you both know, if you ever want to give Megan a squeeze, come on over to Massachusetts. We would love to see you. Or just plan a trip to CT for a Sis boom sale and you can get two things done at once.

That would be so much fun!!!

I spoke with DH about the costumes and had several failures. I was paralyzed because of the all the work and was overwhelmed. We made a choice to give them back all the fabrics, explain what didn't work and then wish them the best.

After we talked about that I was able to complete the new incredibles shirt for DD and starting the new pirate shirt this morning. It feels great to be able to sew for pleasure again.

DH got me a new Mac book Pro for mother's day!!!! It arrived yesterday afternoon.

I got us great seats for La Nouba at 30% off! 3 more days till we leave for Disney!

April, that was absolutley the best thing for you to do. I wish they hadn't pressured you into trying to do this in the first place!

So I have only posted a couple of times on here but yall are all amazing at what you do. I want to post a picture of the first (and only so far lol) dress that I have made my daughter but I do not have enough posts yet. So I will post a couple. lol

 

[ryleigh'smom2004]

The dress was far a Disney cruise that my daughter and mother took during spring break. I did not get to go. lol

 

[ryleigh'smom2004]

so I think that it is 10 posts you have to have before you can post pictures... Hopefully it will work after this one!

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong but I have found that when I use internet explorer I can't get it to work either, when I use firefox it works fine. Not sure why that would be.

When I use internet explorer and use the properties method it doesn't work for me either.

Edited: I tried it again with internet explorer following the directions and all I get is a little red x where the picture should be.

When I use internet explorer and right click on the image the "copy image location" choice doesn't even show up for me. Are you seeing that as a choice?

no it does not for me either. i tried to copy it from the properties but that didnt work so i just uploaded it to photobucket... lol a little more trouble but oh well.

Looks great! You did a great job on the dress and your daughter is a cutie!

What are you making T?

Well, I'm trying to make some simply sweet dresses for the girls and these really cute urban bonnets. BUT I got everything cut out last night and lost steam. Now I'm trying to tie up loose ends before we leave for camping. I'm hoping to AT LEAST get the bonnets done. They'll need the sun protection.

Who needs sleep when there is sewing to be done T? That has been my motto the last few nights and I'm exhausted!

And your week couldn't have been that bad, didn't you get a Dole Whip???? Yummy!

Just had to complain and moan about my lack of sewing. I had so hoped to have our outfits already DONE for our generational photo with my mom. I've been busy with housework, getting ready for various trips to and from NOLA for family events, etc. etc. About a week and a half ago I pulled all the craft paper out of my closet to organize in paper holders and Kaity woke up before I could finish. Then I brought my fabric and patterns to my mom's to take advantage of her BIIIIIG dining table to lay out and cut it out....and she pointed out to me I had not pre-washed the fabric (which wasn't cheap--the Thomas Kinkade stuff).

FINALLY got my fabric washed and dried and decided yesterday that I was going to clean up the disarray in the craft room/guest room/sewing room finally so I could iron the fabric and then do my best at laying out/cutting out here at my house. Made a bigger mess getting the bookcase in the closet clear of stamp pads so I could move a shelf up to accommodate the paper holders, only to discover that for some reason, DH had nailed the front of the shelf in place--a fact I naturally didn't notice until after wondering why the bookcase was so warped and I couldn't get the shelf front to move. So, aching back and shoulders, irritated, I left the mess on the floor and just walked away. Intended on tackling the mess this morning during Kaitlyn's nap but was so exhausted I ended up napping myself.

I'm looking at her little Saints Super Bowl dress / toddler top I had made her (and pulled out yesterday to show our company) and hoping it will inspire me to get sewing this weekend. That's one good thing about being so behind on the thread, I suppose, all the outfits being seen at once are sure good inspiration!!! Everyone has done a great job!

 

[t-beri]

Yeah yeah...that was almost a week ago and it's starting to wear off. If I don't get some REAL WDW time soon I'm gonna lose it.

Well the potato salad is done, water on for the pasta and I'm nixing the brownies unless B wants to put them in when he gets home. So now to try to sew a little oh, no, the water is boiling. CRAP.

Camping takes SO MUCH PREPARATION!!! It better be a relaxing weekend is all I can say.
