going to bury myself in the basement in a few minutes. I need to finish shorts for DS and a skirt for DD(which isn't even started)

Need to pack a couple orders and work on a pixie dust give.

Think I might take the laptop down but that might encourage me not to work.

 

[ellenbenny]

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???

Sorry didn't mean to leave you out, I have about 2 1/2 yards of the star wars fabric I posted a picture of. How much are you looking for? I can't remember if you already said what you are making, sorry if you did.. I was skimming from my phone.

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.

I totally believe you. I wanted to open an account with R. Kaufman so I could sell their Seuss fabric, and I was denied initially because I had sold outfits with licensed characters on it for profit. I had to go through a pretty in depth interview during which I had to explain my past actions and explain why I was going from selling outfits to selling fabric, etc. The Kaufman people said that it was, in part, because the Seuss people were so strict. However, any company that rightfully owns these characters has the right to expect people not to use their product for their own gain. Courts have repeatedly upheld our right to copy them for our own personal use and even to gift these items (like the Big Gives, for example), but selling for gain is where the courts have drawn the line.

Now, I do not know any of the people involved, but it doesn't sound like this was a company representative. In which case, it is pretty low to blackmail someone.

Now, for my Davy Jones story..... after my oldest was born, I was watching an old episode of The Brady Bunch as I was nursing my newborn dd -- the one with Davy Jones, of course. Anyway, as he sang, "Girl, look what you've done to me.....," I just sat there thinking how appropriate it was at that moment because this little girl had turned my whole world completely upside down and in the best possible way. So, that has kind of become her song -- at least in my mind.

BTW, I'm loving all the sweet Easter dresses, too.

YCMT has been down all day. Not that I need any more patterns. I have so many screaming at me right now to try to make them.

So anyone doing egg hunts this weekend? We let Lorelei come out of the room and see her basket then I entertain her by making her try on her bathing suits from the Easter Bunny while the hubbykins hides the eggs outside. Then I will be making confettii pancakes this year. Just food coloring in pancake mix

Doing my part to move this thread along. I finally ordered the Kyoko pattern from Modkids and it arrived. I went out yesterday and found some fabric on sale at my Hancocks for a dollar so I got 4 yards because it was so cute. Here is the finished product. I kept the sleeves long because it is for a multicultural festival.

Thanks for looking.

Since I am trying to shop around for the best price on a new machine and no one makes that easy. Can you guys share your experiences and costs for your new machines from the local places. It is a freakin' drive to all them nearby and the one I really want to go to takes 2 hours!! There is some other place that will sell me one, but they don't do repairs right there and I don't really like that!

I guess I am more or less looking at 1250d or 2800d because I want another one for the long haul. I don't really care about hoop size funny enough and more or less want it to sew nicely! LOL! And I really need to buy it NOW, as in an hour ago!!

I bought the 1500D about a year ago and paid $2199. I recently upgraded to the 6000D and paid $6499. I hope that helps

OK...thought I'd show my age a bit here...I just downloaded The Monkees Greatest Hits...it is making the housecleaning go a bit easier. Just hope I don't wake hubby up (he works nights) with my wee bit off key singing at the top of my lungs!

Needed something to lift my mood today!

Miss you Mom!

Guess who I am going to see the weekend of the 6th if I get my way I will see him everyday he is performing at flower and garden yes Davey Jones I told my kids we had to see him if they didnt want to they could go ride rides. They were like who is he I finally said never mind yall wont like him. We saw Sugar Ray in the fall and he was great I hope I wont be disappointed dont see how I could be the last time I saw him he was still just as cute as he was when we were growing up. Do you remember rushing home from school so you could see the monkeys.

 

[cogero]

Just folded my fabric purchases from today.

I finished the shorts I made for ds for Easter hopefully it will be warm enough for them. I also made DD her skirt.

I started a skirt for myself which I will finish tomorrow.

[teresajoy]

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!

Congratulations on the new job!!!

Miss you Mom!

The Monkees have NOTHING to do with age! M was rocking out to them at 5 We have shared the front row with MANY teens at the Flower Power concerts to see Davy Jones.

Needless to say I LOVE the Monkees!

Me too, but you knew that!

For Nini-

Since you got me all Monkees nostalgic.....

Six years ago next month, I was sitting at a Davy Jones concert, about to set out on my wildest adventure yet. I was holding a picture of a little face in a heart keychain. I was nervous, well scared to death is actually more like it. And then I heard "I am believer". "I couldn't leave her if I tried"

That made me all teary eyed!

Britax's USA facility is actually around the corner from my house (technically it's in Ft Mill, SC, but I live on the NC/SC line in Charlotte) ... I got on an advisory board (after trying for many years to do so!!!) and when you do a focus group for them you can either get paid cash (but only $50-100) or you can pick the carseat of your choice!!!! Of course I'll take the carseat!!!!

So I just got a new Frontier85 in Onyx for DS#1 ... have to install it in DH's car and take out the Nautilus that's about to expire (if it hasn't already -I can't see the sticker with it installed )...

That is so neat!!! Heather just bought Sawyer the Frontier.

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:

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

She is just so precious!!! She looks so cute in her dress!

I feel like singing...my daughter's package has arrived! So Happy...now on to the rest of the stuff I have to worry with! LOL


Nini

YAY!!! I'm glad it made it to you!

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

Walmart has them.

Ladies & gentleman as usual you all have been outdoing yourselves. Sorry I am not individually quoting but it's past time for this chick-y to be in bed and we're supposed to go car shopping tomorrow... Oh, and thanks! for all the compliments on my Little Princess's pageant wear (and, yes we're only doing natural pageants).

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend and Happy EASTER!!!

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

How adorable is that! I love the *Scout* bunny!

Beautiful. Now I can't wait to see your skirt! I think it's supposed to be really nice here tomorrow so your ds should be able to wear his shorts up your way.

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

Thank you! Yeah we try anything to make her stay good

FOUND THE FLOWER FABRIC:
http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products...fabric/?OrderItemId=7295905&DepartmentId=7529

Thanks so much!

I got the buttons from here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/WanWanCorn...ser_shop_ttt_id_5174032&shopname=WanWanCorner

Thanks for the links, I managed to pick up both the fabric and the buttons and never even left my chair as both sites are set up for paypal.
With more and more sites accepting paypal I think I am going to be in trouble, at least before I had to go get my credit card which gave me just enough time to reconsider. Now with just a few clicks, I could spend a fortune in seconds!

Can anyone point me in the direction of Aimee's skirt tutorial that you are all referring to. I checked the bookmarks, there are a lot of skirt tutorials there but none of them reference Aimee so either I'm not seeing it or it's not there.

I hope to check in later but if not, I haope you all have a peaceful Easter weekend.

I have a bag-style one I can send you. My new machine came with one, so I no longer need the one I was using. If you PM me your address I can send it. I'll try and get a pic later today.

 

[branmuffin]

If these come up... they are of the simply sweet I made my daughter for her Easter dress. I am satisfied with how it turned out for my first dress!


AAArgh! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Never mind....
