Disboutiquers Part 23 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[cogero]

I need to ask for prayers. My great-Aunt who has been cancer free for almost 20 years, just found out this week she has cancer again, in her lungs and stomach. They also found an Aneurysm just above her heart. So she is having a hard time and you guys are always great with prayers! I am going home to visit with her this weekend.

Keep up the good work guys and I will be checking in again soon!

Sending Many prayers your way for your great aunt.

i wasn't going to post these pics, but since you need help getting to p 249
i mentioned earlier about my cousins kid (now 4) who had Rhabdomyosarcoma cancer, spent a year and 44 chemo treatments in st judes and is now determined to be cured, and how to give them some happiness we are sending them to disney. they arrive on feb 27. here is a pic of a bag i made them and 2 t shirts i made for Ian.
mom reported back she loves the bag and Ian wants to wear his shirts every day.
another disclosure statement: I've only had a pe770 since dec 25, 2010, so i do not know all the tricks yet. i am still learning how to properly back fabric and hoop it.( so it wont pucker) and thanks to minnie van mom ( i think) i now know how to float a tshirt and that was after I made these and saw what you guys refer to as hoop burn.
did i type enough to move this along?

Oh these are just awesome. I have been wetting my shirts and ironing to get rid of the hoop burn.

This is not Disney related, or even sewing related...but it is family related, and we ARE trying to move the thread along...right?

Next year my DD10 will start Middle School. This is always a trying time in a young girl's life, even if there was no drama with the school.

The school she will have to go to is the absolute worst school in the county! The police have a regular presence there, because of the rapes, drugs, and gang activity. And yes, this is the middle school.

We had hoped to be moved before we had to deal with this issue, but it is just not in the cards (or finances for that matter) right now. We tried for a shot at a scholarship for a private school, but that fell through.

So, it looks like we will be homeschooling again next year. Of course, this time, hubby is not yet behind us on this idea. DD has looked at the different item available and has chosen her curriculum. I am all set to order it next month...

I guess I am asking for some Pixie dust....hopefully we can get Dad on our side before I order. Dad is still holding out for the private school. While I do believe education is a good investment, I just don't think we can afford the private school this year....

Oh many prayers for you. My dd will be 10 this year. We had a horrible year in the 3rd grade. She came home crying every day. We decided to put her in a lottery for a special school in our district and she was chosen. This year has been a dream and the bonus I found out is she can stay there until 8th grade.

Great Picture. Where was this taken?

Hmmm, I think you are on to something with Cinderella!!!
That is wonderful picture!!! Your girls are so cute, and the dresses are great!

Is this right outside the restaurant? Where is Mary Poppins?

Thanks! They took us outside 1900 Park Fare for us to get the picture all together. It was during the Cinderella's Happily Ever After dinner. We valet parked that night because it was raining when we got there. Even the valets were whispering as the girls past "The stepsisters are here, be careful!" Is Mary Poppins supposed to be there?

Here she is! I still haven't decided on the spelling of her name. When I went to the vet's to have her checked, I had the receptionist spell it Pippi but when the vet came in he wrote Pipi. I'd rather it be the way most would spell it when they hear the name.

Cute Pippi ( I like that spelling too!) My cat tries to get outside pretty often. After about 10 seconds of being out there, she figures out life is better inside!

I participated in a Valentine's swap on another board I belong to - and this is the outfit I made and sent to my swap partner... FYI - my dd made the headband.

Front:

Close-up of the hand embroidery (which I am not very good at, but it was fun to learn) :

The dress and hand work looks awesome!!!

Sooo many great things lately....I have been so busy! DH had surgery last week and then lots of pre-teen drama to deal with and PTA stuff....I will glad when spring gets here!

I love the beads! That is so great that she is raising her own money for the walk! Proud of both of you! I am sending you a PM.

I'll do my part to help move the thread along.

I posted this on FB but not every one is on there. I went Tues. for my regular, 6 month, check up with the oncologist. As of Tues. I am no longer on medication, tamoxifen (5 years), and I have been officially released!

YEAH!!! That is so incredibly awesome! So very happy for you.


NINI: Hoping that your DH understands that this is what you need to do now for your daughter. Just remind him that mom always knows best and that his wife is always right. Good luck, hope he sees that this would be best for her.

Would you guys mind telling me what kind of sewing machines you have?

I have lurked on here before and I am so impressed with all your creations and I am looking to get a new sewing machine so I can make stuff like this (I have an old simple machine that can't do much).

Hopefully if I get one for my birthday I can join in the fun here! Thanks!

Well, Dad on her side or not, you can not let her go to school there. We sent our kids to private school and it's worth every penny (and we have the BEST elementary school in our city in our district and I still won't let them go there). Look into as many private options as you can. Collegiate prep schools are the expensive ones. We go to Montessori and it's half the price of the collegiate prep schools and we've had more than fabulous teachers.

Nini,
I am so sorry that you have to deal with poor schools. It sounds hateful but you are doing the right thing to homeschool given the situation. Only you know your financial picture and you must do what is right for your family. We can pray and God listens but I find the answer isn't always on my time but on Thy. Homeschooling is fun, it is quick, we use to be done in a few hours and DS still asks to be homeschool. I am sure your daughter will learn so much with you as her teacher and more of the good things life has to offer.

Which one? I have a Brother Innovis 4000D for embroidery and it is a sewing machine also. I sew on a Singer and I have a Simplicity serger.

I hope you get the machine you want and my only suggestion is to buy the machine with the biggest hoop you can afford. I upgraded with in 30 days of my first embroidery machine purchase. It was an expensive mistake!!!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

minnie van mom i pm'd u back but i dont know if it went thru? u are amazing!

I got it but had to go out and plow both our place and our rental property.

I am just glad to know he is fighting and will get better! Glad to do what I can for this incredible little boy.

Good for you! I hated tamoxifen--I'm so glad you don't have to take it any longer!

My dh just bought me a sewing table/cart for Valentine's Day!!!! He has no clue he bought it for me (yet) but seeing as I didn't get a Valentine's gift I just figured I'd pick out my own gift (sort of like the camera and cutting mat I had to buy myself at Christmas). Now I won't have to sew standing up anymore, but I think I'm going to have to have dh buy me an ironing board that hangs over the door too as my sewing table will need to go where the ironing board is. And boy is my laundry room going to be crowded now!

 

[VBAndrea]

April, don't worry, the thread WILL move before you leave!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

Hee hee, everyone is helping out so much. Thanks Friends

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I am going out to the mail box now as it said my fabric should have been here yesterday. If it is here then I can sew yet another frankenpattern bowling shirt for DB and have it ready for our trip.

I am also going to work on a little surprise shirt for that warrior ***. He is such a fighter!

That's WONDERFUL!! Best news I've heard all week!!

So many fantastic projects too...I was too far behind to quote them all. I still need to get to the new Big Give board too. I've been doing early spring cleaning because we want to list our house on the market soon. If anyone knows how to keep a "show house" with three children under the age of 6 yrs, please let me know. I'm happy to try anything short of duct taping my children to chairs.

Hey ladies!! Anyone ever make a star wars outfit for a girl? Looking for inspiration for a friend taking 6yo dd to sw weekends.

So much cuteness going on! Love that owl fabric!!

Here is the one I made Juliet
