My machine is also a sewing machine but I never use it for that. I had wanted the bigger 6x10 hoop but I never use it. I do use the ability to edit and combine designs on the machine all the time! I love being able to add wording to my designs. I bought my machine off ebay because I couldn't find what I wanted locally. But I was very careful and I bought it through somebody using an Ebay store to sell it. I also made sure I paid with a credit card (through Paypal) just in case the machine was DOA.
same here...baby fever is in our blood i think! and like you ellenbenny i am 48 and the g'babies are the thing that feeds the fever! and now with all mine growing up so fast i feel th eurge for a 'babybaby' in the family! the 7 grandest of grands are ages 4-9 alkl in school so no babies! but dd Brendi who had ectopic pregnancy/miscarriage last month is now getting the green light from docs to try again and let nature take it's course! so i am praying for a healthy pregnancy to be in her near future!they have gone with his parents to Gatlinburg for the fall break so who knows! her dhubby bought her a new jacket for the trip so in his words " he can show her off around Gatlinburg! " hehe....
Okay finally some pictures from our trip. We really had a lot of fun, and I am feeling the sadness that we probably won't be able to go back for a couple of years.
Here is our Prince Charming. He was great with the kids. He even asked dd for a dance turning down one of the step sisters. It was really cute. Wish I had taken video instead of pictures.
After dinner
Here is the rest...
Day eight: Epcot These outfits got alot of attention. They do scream Disney
Why yes, I have done both in cord. For the Insa, it was only the overskirt, the underskirt is in cotton. For the Dortje, the black was from a pair of my cords that didn't fit properly.
For those who haven't already seen it on facebook, we welcomed our first grandson on Weds. Mom, Dad, and big sister are all doing fine and they got to go home today.
All of the PC photos have been fun, but I think 'your' PC is the most handsome one posted.
Love your family photo! And, all your outfits look terrific!
I get to buy some more Carla C patterns today! I'm going to get the Portrait Peasant, the Patchwork Twirl and the Simply Sweet.
Regards,
C.

2nd day was at MK. We went straight to Rapunzel, dd's favorite. We ended up being first in line.

It really was a great trip and I can't wait to go back.
Per Teresa's request...

Hmmm, I'm 47 and my OLDEST is 9 y/o. I can't imagine having a child in their 20's -- though I always have baby fever so grandchildren would be welcomed. We even wanted to adopt (after a m/c and failed fertility treatment but we would have had to sell our RI house in order to have the spare $60K).
Your children are adorable -- I imagine dd gets non-stop compliments on her gorgeous hair!Okay finally some pictures from our trip. We really had a lot of fun, and I am feeling the sadness that we probably won't be able to go back for a couple of years.
Here is our Prince Charming. He was great with the kids. He even asked dd for a dance turning down one of the step sisters. It was really cute. Wish I had taken video instead of pictures.
Our 1st park day was a blast. We went to HS, and that day we learned that my son was not afraid of trying anything. I was shocked that he wanted to ride TOT. He didn't like it, but I was so proud of him for trying. He continued with the bravery for the rest of the trip. There wasn't one single ride he didn't try.
This picture was so funny. My kids didn't know he was real, and I had forgotten that they did this. They were pulling on him to see and after a minute he jumped. My kids came flying. Their faces were priceless. After laughing for bit we got them to go back up.
2nd day was at MK. We went straight to Rapunzel, dd's favorite. We ended up being first in line.
That afternoon was the only day it rained and we got soaked. It rained for hours. Ponchos didn't help much. We went to Crystal Palace for dinner so it was nice to get out of the rain. My favorite line came from that dinner. Before our trip my son was very curious if we were going to see the real characters, so it had been a big conversation. Well right after Piglet came around dd who is 3 looked up and said, "Mommy if that is the real Piglet how come he has a zipper up the back." I would have expected it from my 6 year old, but not the 3 year old. I loved it though.
3rd day we did Epcot and the princess breakfast, and Chef's for dinner. DD made sure she showed all her princesses to them. I made her a belle dress, but she didn't want to wear it.
I was disappointed with Chef's. Food was okay, but I was hoping for better. This was the one restaurant I really wanted to try. Probably won't go back.
Remy had already gone by once, but they brought him back. It was really cute.
4th day we went to AK. I love this park and couldn't have spent another 1/2 of a day, but we didn't do hoppers this time.
Dd was a little tired. I thought I had a better one.
We did Ohana's for dinner. We had a lot of fun that night.
5th day we went back to MK and met up with my college roommate and her family. It was a great day.
We went to Whispering Canyon that night. None us were thrilled with the food. It was dry and bland. Another disappointing meal. Again though the entertainment was great.
Our 6th day we went back to Epcot with our friends. We ate lunch at Le Cellier. My steak was delish.
I don't remember Canada back area. I am not sure I had ever been back there. It was beautiful. Wish we had taken more pictures than what we did.
Our last day we went back to MK for the 40th. We were susposed to head to Gainsville to tailgate for the game, but we were having to much fun. We ended up staying the entire day. I am glad we did, because we all had a lot of fun.
Dd loved all the princesses. It was the sweetest thing to listen to what she would say to them. They were also really good with her. Sometimes I felt bad for the people in line behind us.
It really was a great trip and I can't wait to go back.
I agree -- her PC was the best out of all posted. Some of them are rather nerdy looking.All of the PC photos have been fun, but I think 'your' PC is the most handsome one posted.
If anyone is interested, we posted the rest of our trip pics on our blog:
Walt Disney World 2011
I get to buy some more Carla C patterns today! I'm going to get the Portrait Peasant, the Patchwork Twirl and the Simply Sweet. I already bought fabric for a Fall/Thanksgiving PP top for dd. I also plan to make her a PP dress for her first birthday party, but I haven't found fabric for it yet. Time to get to work!
Regards,
C.
I have made in in a size 5 and there is no way it took that much material. I bet that's if you are ruffling all the way around it. I'm a betting 2 yards was the most I ever used, if that. Print your pattern first and then figure out your skirt measurement and go from there.
I love those skirts!my dd Candice's church had a fall festival this evening and Kensleigh called and asked Nanna and Pawpaw to come eat bbq with them! here they are after games,face painting & fair hair! look out Charlies Angels...
Gracie,Kensleigh & Chloe
i made thier lil skirts with some halloween fabric i got during the summer on clearance for $1 a yard at Hancocks! have enough for next year too!
47 here, youngest is 7 -- but my oldest is 9. I didn't get married until I was 35 y/o. I would have loved to have had at least 4 children -- we kept trying for more but it got too expensive to continue our quest.
Yes, these were all hand appliqued -- I didn't get my embroidery machine until this past May. I actually love hand appliqueing on Vida's. Most all of them have little mistakes, but nothing too drastic that they can't be worn.
Okay finally some pictures from our trip. We really had a lot of fun, and I am feeling the sadness that we probably won't be able to go back for a couple of years.

Orthodontist on a Sunday?!
I also still need to get pics of the Beatles outfits (my dd's turned out so cute!), and I need to post pics on the BG site for something I've had done for three days now...
Thank you. The Beast costume is for my shop. It is a size 12m...and I don't have anyone around here that little.
