Best of all, school is OUT!!!!
Love all the shirts, I love all the different faces! And yeah for school being out!!
Great job on your first dress, it looks great!
This was yesterdays project:
Looks great and looks like she loves it too!
I made this for my daughter for her birthday today:
Abby wearing Abby Cadabby!!
Now to practice embroidery on my machine to put an Abby Cadabby on the shirt portion.
Looks cute, both Abby and the dress!!
I have a few things that I can share now. These are the outfits that I made for Reed's Big Give. The family is going to a zoo in the Bahamas while they are on their
Disney cruise. The zoo is famous for its marching flamingos. So I made flamingo outfits for the kids to wear:
Then I made this outfit for the Main Street Boutiques launch last week. Sorry if you already saw it on FB.
I love the dress you made for the launch. If I had a girl I would have bought it!
WOW, thanks for sharing with us all the cool things your parents brought back from Africa. My DH's cousin is currently in Africa (was in Mali, but had to transfer out when the coup d'etat occurred. Briefly ended up in Burkina Faso and should now be staying permanently in Cameroon) and has sent me several pictures of the clothing styles worn there, so much of your mom's "leftovers" look familiar. That is a STUNNING wallet! Praying that your mom's surgeries go well and she is up and running in no time!

Thanks! Mali is the neighboring country to Senegal, when the coup started they had lot missionary and embassy families evacuate to their area, scary stuff going on.
Looks great!!
Marissa update...yesterday she wasn't so lucky. She did do the audition wearing her pointe shoes (and evidently nobody else did) and said she felt like she rocked it, but the CM in charge told her that her technique was excellent, but she was too short for what they needed to cast. So it's my fault she didn't make it....the lack of height comes from little ole me!
But her attitude is still good, and she's determined to keep at it. She still has hopes something will come of Thursday's attempt...when she filled out the application she checked all the boxes...full time, part time, seasonal and holiday.
Now we get to go to WDW and play!
Sorry to hear, I'm sure the right position will come along soon that will be perfect for her.
Wow... what nice fabric but I can see where it might be hard to decide what to make with it.
Thank you! Will probably make some sort of bag but not sure what yet.
I'm not too familiar with Senegal, but being on the west coast I don't think they have an animal population like the eastern and southern countries do (I could be wrong though). Still a very neat experience.
I might use some of those fabrics to make purses or as accents on skirts -- I am not a quilter though. Some of them are really pretty.
And what a neat wallet. I love have useful things from other countries. My keepsakes usually include something useful like a purse and I often buy jewelry too because it lasts forever, and then I try to always get something for the house. Our kids bathroom upstairs has two pictures from Africa and one from Egypt hanging in it. I had a vase from Egypt too but that disappeared -- it was metal and I know one of the kids took it to school when they were studying Egypt -- I hope it's still not all school -- I need to look for that!!!
I had a friend who had knee replacements last year -- her recovery was a bit longer than expected but she is quite heavy so weight bearing was a greater challenge for her. Hopefully your mom's will go well.
You're right about Senegal, they do not have alot of animals there. They do have an animal park nearby though that has quite a few animal. I "might" have an opportunity to go in January to visit them but if I don't find a job soon I won't be able to afford it. If I do go I will have to bring an extra suitcase just for the fabrics I want to buy
I would definately check with the school about the vase. I would be so dissapointed to not get something like that back. I hope your house sells soon, I would assume after the renters leave it would be easier to bring potential buyers in by not having to schedule ahead of time and hoping they left the house is clean and presentable.
Looks great. I love Piglet, you don't see alot of Piglet outfits, it's usually Pooh or Tigger!
Love the Scottie fabric. I want to start sewing more with knits. I wish they had alot more variety of prints in store without having to buy online. I'm so impressed with how fast you sew things up! I'm such a slow sewer it seems like it takes me forever to get one thing done.
My kids love legos and would love your DS's shirt!
