Remember the "change back from your dollar" McDonald's commercials? The guy rummaged in his pockets for coins and had just $1. He ordered two cheeseburgers, a small order of fries and a small (what is now child size) coke and was given change back. Can't do that any more!

I just got my DD a happy meal today. Plain cheeseburger with mayo. Got charged .50 for the mayo

oh that is fabulous.

I have to go and start dinner for the family we are having pasta and I need to make the sauce.

just read on fb that some evil lady is trying to blackmail bows and clothes about her licensed characters...if she doesnt pay her she will turn her in! I can't believe someone would stoop that low, but I guess they will and have.

I posted on her page, but if I were her I would take down all of the licensed images asap. A few years back I had handpainted a Seuss cat in the hat set for Gianna to wear to school for Seuss day. After she outgrew it I listed it as a resell & didn't even use Seuss in any of the titles or descriptions. Not only was it turned in but I was contacted by Seuss' lawyers and slapped with a cease and desist order. Disney is also very stringent with people selling likenesses of their characters. It can be a very costly penalty if it goes that far. I agree that the blackmailing person is evil and horrible, but the reality is that she can be facing a lot of problems by selling these and if the woman does turn her in it could be opening up a huge can of worms that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Speaking of Davy Jones, i've been to see him a million times. By BF LOVES the Monkees. I alwyas enjoyed thier shows. But Davey can be a "little" moody at times. I've seen him stop singing during a show and give people crap because he was singing!

Anyone else have issues with the hobby lobby website? It keeps timing out - both on firefox and IE for me, FRUSTRATING! Also, anyone have 40% off coupon codes for them online? THANKS!

After Anita mentioned them yesterday, I googled and found them on FB. It said thier website was having trouble.

Hi Everyone! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Had some projects to do. Entered our daughter in her first pageant--she won "best dressed" in her age division and had all those everyday things going on to get caught back up on. And now it's time to get a project for an unofficial give done, plus two projects for a co-worker and the 1st grade teachers... Then I have to do the next dress and theme-wear (nautical) for DD's next pageant.

But here are pics of her pageant dress and theme-wear (Flower Power Retro Wear). I didn't realize when I started making her dress and adding the decorative touches how much it looked like Cinderella's dress until my BFF pointed it out.

(sorry the middle pic is so big, I kept trying to get it smaller and no matter what I tried, nothing worked)

We like big pictures.

Come on...we aren't at 250 YET? I see how this evil plan is working...you are going to wait until I am not able to get to the computer this weekend and make the move then!

Well, here is my morning post to do my part to get there!

I ordered my daughter a small laptop for her Easter present (we are trying to do away with the idea that you have to have candy for Easter...boy is that ever expensive!) I have been tracking it all week. It was promised delivery by today. It will definitely be delivered SOMEWHERE today, just not to my house. The shipper transposed the last bit of my zip code so it is going to another town about 40 miles from here...unfortunately, there IS an actual street with the same name as mine and evidently a number that is the same as mine.

Hopefully FedEx will be able to figure out that I've called repeatedly to get it corrected and bring it to my house instead... I guess I'll need to make some sort of cute card telling her what she will eventually get!


OK...now your turn. Help us move before I have to start getting ready for Easter...meaning cleaning house!



Nini

My Mom was known to put a picture in an envelope when something didn't come. lol!!

How about going to the store, getting a 5cent candy bar, a ten cent coke, and drinking it there so you could get your 3 cent deposit back!

Nini

When we were kids, my Dad would take us to my Uncles Sub shop. They had a penny candy. We were allowed to get a really tiny bag, and get 10cents worth of candy.

Very cute! I've painted a similar Goofy for a luggage tag, only mine wasn't that detailed. Painting is great for characters you can't find fabrics of. I applique too, but I can't do small details.

Ok doing my part, and a good sized vent here too...

Here's the vent. I sent my Dyson vac in for repair, it wouldn't suck things up from the bottom, but the wand still worked when I pulled it out. I couldn't find the clog, so it went to the Dr. This guy, or starting with his father at lease, has been in the same business location for 30+ years. He said 3-4 days, but I never got a call, so I stopped in after 3 weeks (I was out of town one of the weeks) and he said it must be done. Then he couldnt find it...I had to describe the machine. I had my reciept, but it didn't have number on it that matched the machine, it was just a printer paper reciept. He finally found it, proved that it worked, I paid and took it home. We used it for the first time today, and it does work, but smells so bad I can't stand it...like someone used it to clean up milk or something equally as sour. I took a closer look, it's the same Dyson type, but when I took it apart to see if the filter looked like it was new or my old one with a tear on the rubber part (still worked, I just accidently tore it a few months ago when removing to clean it) The tear wasnt there, and the filter was definitely there when the real owner used it to get up something yucky, it was all sticky inside. I called the shop to b*tch, but they've taken a long weekend for the holiday. GRRRR I left to go to Target to buy a new vac...this house needs serious cleaning, and that was my plan for the day. The majority of the downstairs is Pergo, and my little Swiffer vac just can't handle the job. I found a lightweight Hoover, that I've now used on the whole house, and decided I like better than the beastly Dyson! I'm still going to pursue getting my real machine back, and just keep it upstairs.

OMG! I would be fuming!

Who can point me in the right direction for Star Wars fabrics??? I haven't seen any at Hobby Lobby, Walmart or Hancock ...

I'm very happy with how the decoupaged dinosaur jeans came out for DS#2 (he wore them to an egg hunt today and got lots of compliments) but he wants a matching t-shirt (the plain red t doesn't cut it for him apparently ) ... so I've read the tutorial 100 times for "hand appliqued" designs ... but I'm scared to try it on my own!!! I think I'm going to pick up the interfacing though ...

Do you have more than Walmart with fabric. I would have sworn one of our Walmarts ahd some (I could be wrong though). Our two Wally's with fabric are very different. One has two, yes two, Disney prints -- a Pooh and a Tiana. The other has close to 20!

I finished up the last outfit for our May trip. This is for dinner at 'Ohanas. I need to stop looking here and etsy b/c I keep adding things I need to make.

Here's Little Miss C modeling:

And on the hanger:

Thanks for looking and for all the inspiration you all provide.

Adorable! And I really love that fabric.

YAY! Now sing really loud so my package from Amazon arrives tomorrow!

That is insane. I can't believe that happened to you! Whay are there so many evil people in this world?!

 

[mphalens]

My offer still stands...you're more than welcome to come over and I can help you. And you can show me how you did the dinosaur pants!! They are so cute!

You are SO on!!!! I bought the interfacing and stabilizer today ... but don't have a teflon sheet ...

The jeans were pretty easy ... time consuming, but not difficult



Who knows of a good place to get a Universal Sewing Machine case??? My machine is a Singer 401 A and it lives in a sewing table (but can come out) ... so I don't have a case for it and really want one, especially since I already told my mom it's coming with me this summer to Rhode Island

We do ... Hmm - anyone on the East-side of Charlotte seen any Star Wars fabrics at those Walmarts???? It's a drive I don't make often but can ...
Marianne???? I think you were just at Galleria and Monroe, weren't you???

Hi Marianne,

I went to both the Monroe and the Galleria Walmart's in the past couple of weeks, they didn't have any Star Wars at either store. We're going to breakfast at the Arboretum tomorrow. I'll take a look at that Walmart, they used to have a really good selection of fabric, but I haven't been there in a while.

[jessica52877]

Star Wars fabric is pretty old but was from walmart. It is even pretty hard to find online right now, but can be found if you are willing to pay. Of course, they could have come out with new in the past couple of weeks and I wouldn't know it.

Not sure what you wanted to use it for but sometimes sheets will work.

I would LOVE a free britax for being on their panel!! Have you ever been to one of their sales they have there? I just wondered if they were worth going. I assume if you were close enough they would be.

I just looked on line for Star Wars fabric and there is zilch. Etsy has 1/2 yard for $8. Maybe I was imagining things that I saw it at Walmart. Shoot -- I wanted some for a BG! I will be going some time within the next week so I will be sure to look. But based on what I'm NOT finding on line I am now wondering if it was something else I saw -- I'm not into Star Wars at all so I never paid that much attention. Maybe it was something Superheroes I was thinking. There is a chance I'll actually go tomorrow, so I promise I will report back.

Sheets might work ... I want to make shorts and upcycle some jeans ...

Britax has had TWO warehouse sales in the last 6 years (and swear up and down they never will again) ... I missed the first one (and we were broke at the time too) but I was 10th in line for the 2nd one ... I bought a Couture Marathon 65 for 50-60% off retail (can't remember ... it was MAYBE $140) ad I bought 2 additional covers -one Roundabout and one Marathon... the covers were CHEAP! I think total that day I spent $180? It was AWESOME!

I have been trying everything to get on this parent panel since I first learned about it 4 years ago ... I've been to one study so far (and one other thing but it didn't pay) ... it's pretty cool...

My favorite thing is that every month Britax does a carseat check with TONS of car seat techs ... my car is a PITA to install carseats in (it will generally hold 3 across the backseat, but getting them installed properly is HARD) because there's no "give" to the seat ... so they installed DS#1's seat FOR me And now I won't take it out

Andrea, I have some star wars. How much do you need? I will take a picture in a minute.

Beautiful love the natural pageant...lovely

Okay! Excuse my feet in these pics, but here are the decoupaged dinosaur jeans I made for Sheriff Shortstuff this afternoon

I definitely learned that straight lines are WAY easier to do a project like this (rather than the rounded edges I used on these dinos) ... and that I like using the multi-shade thread better than a solid (I used blue on one leg and switched to multi-green for the other when I ran out of the blue - way less left on the spool than I thought )

These came out so awesome. I saw some Valentine day design ones that I fell in love with

At your request Nini I will help move things along -- this is my second post this morning!

I ordered Tangled for dd And Unstoppable for ds as a part of their Easter basket gifts and I didn't order until Monday and elected free shipping so I'm worried my gifts won't arrive in time. I have other things for them -- got dd a Bella Sara gift pack and a train calender from Shutterfly for ds so baskets won't be empty. Those movies better arrive by Monday though so they have something to do on their last day of break other than bug me! Actaully, dh will be home Monday so that will help. His last day on his current ship is TODAY!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

Just give dd a card with a pic of the laptop -- that's what I'll do if my gifts don't arrive. And dh's last order form Amazon tracked checked in at our post office on the 13th and we didn't get it until the 18th! Crappy service!


I'm sorry your serger is having PMS today. Hopefully she'll be better tomorrow. Mine gave me fits one day rethreading it. I was about to toss it out the window. It rethreaded like a dream this morning.
And I'm with you on the bows. I can make them, but it takes a lot of work. I really dislike doing bows.

I think its more owner error vs. serger. I will figure this thing out one of these days.

Happy Earth Day....

I thought I'd do my part to help move this thread to 250 before the weekend. Anyway, I made this a couple of years ago for Earth Day. I don't think I ever shared it here though. Sorry about the shadows.

And the back. I did gather the entire back and didn't like it. It was too tight, so I left the gathers in the center only.

And this was a classic Minnie I made awhile back. I wanted to try something new, so I added ruffles to the shirred back. I also made a little clear pouch for a key card or other treasures.

Love how you did the back. And super in love with the minnie

Doing my part to get to 250!

I was offered a new job yesterday and I am soooooooooo happy! I've been working minimum wage for about 6 months now and this new position pays more than twice that. I was really struggling paying rent and credit card bills and student loans and I'm excited to be able to breathe a little money-wise. I still hate that I won't be using my 6 years of post-secondary education but there are just no jobs in my field right now!

Anyway, the new job starts Tuesday. The schedule is horrendous (3:30-11:30 Sat-Wed) and it's over an hour away by bus but I'll take it!!

So happy to have today off as I've had a busy week! It was my birthday on Monday and my brother's yesterday. With Easter on top od that I am so full of sugar right now!! I'm going to get started on a bag that a friend asked me to make her. If we still haven't moved I'll post pics of the fabrics later.

Happy long weekend, all!

Congrats on a new job...that is so terrific

Here is the star wars fabric I have, let me know if you want me to send you some, I bought it on ebay a while back, but I didn't pay a whole lot for it.

And just to add more pages. My DD thinks the Easter Bunny (who is large and walks around on his 2 legs) sends out "scouts" to make sure she is is being good and to stake out good places to put the eggs. She snapped this today when a "scout" was outside of our front door under our Japanese Maple

Great job on the dress, purse and bow. Your daughter is beautiful, how cute that she thinks the Easter Bunny sent out a scout.
