[LouiesMama]

Hi from our new home in Towson, MD!!!



Here is a pic of my living room:

I didn't have internet access for two whole weeks! I have so much lurking to catch up on!!!

Anyways, I am so happy to be here, and can't wait to get settled and get back into sewing!!! From what I've read online, there are some great fabric stores in the MD/DC area. If anyone is from these parts and can give me a heads up on where to shop, it would be much appreciated!

Here's a photo of Ireland when she was 4...gosh that was a looooong time ago. Are her bows big enough? LOL

These little girlies are so cute - boy, they really do grow up so fast!!!

Love the back to school outfits!! Who cares if the teacher likes it or not, if Megan likes it than that is what matters, right? I was thinking of making something back to school, but Elizabeth is homeschooled - I guess her teacher would like it!! I havent found any fabric I LOVE yet though -

Steph, did you find the EEyore searsucker? I might be able to stop at a walmart that had some on the way home from the beach - just let me know!!

Hey, anyone who has taken the Disney cruise - is it really worth it? We are trying to decide wether to finally take the disney cruise (its just DH and I) and stay in an inside room, or to take another cruise and get a balcony (which will be cheaper) - we are going to go either september 28th or October 4th....we want to tack a few days at disney onto it because thats where we went on our honeymoon - I have a conference in Miami on september 27th, so if I tack on a vacation, then duPont pays for my airfare!!! what do you all think???? This will be our 15th wedding anniversary celebration - thoughts????

I think it looks fine. Jenna's teachers have actually been complimenting her homemade uniforms. So I wouldn't worry about her being looked down on.

That is awesome that they notice her uniform is handmade. I am sure you add extra special details!

The black shirt looks good, but I think a white shirt would look better. Black is just so "winter" and it is still sooooo HOT down there! If you have time, do a lighter version of the shirt- if not- don't! She looks great!

As for the teacher......

Have you lost your ever lovin' mind girl?!?!?!?!? If the teacher has a problem with Megans outfit- she needs a life and some class. You're DD is adorable and every single picture I've seen of that child is beautiful! I wouldn't worry for a minute about what the teacher thought. Besides, if that were the case- by the end of the year she'd be begging you to make HER a custom outfit!

1) Darn it! I knew I should have held out for a cream colored shirt but I was in a hurry to finish today. Well, we can go out tomorrow!

2) I know, I know! Megan's teacher is very nice, I have met her. I just don't want Megan to be a distraction. As I child I would hate that. Megan just loves attention so I don't know why I am worrying.

3) As aside, I had a mini-breakdown when Jacob started kindergarten because a) he was four and wouldn't turn five until the following week and b) he had broken his arm the week before. I thought I was a terrible mother for sending my four year old to kindergarten with a broken arm. How would he go to the bathroom? He was perfectly fine, of course.

I have something really cool to share. About a month ago the AC in my car started messing up. Sometimes it would come on and sometimes it wouldn't. I found out that the 2000-2004 Ford Tauruses have a defect that causes the Blower Motor to rust and eventually stop working. Well I am very proud to say that not only did I diagnose the problem by myself I also replace the Blower Motor and Resistor by myself. So I am now very excited that I was able to do this. So everyone should dance with me and ladies always remember that girls are smarter than boys.

You are awesome Crystal!

Hi all...I was wondering if some of you would mind sharing (or sharing again if you have in the past) pictures of your sewing area. I am trying to organize my sewing area and trying to find a permanent space to sew instead of in my dining room and trying to get ideas of sewing area/room setup...etc. Thanks!!!!

Um, really? Ok, you asked for it.

This is my dining room table, er sewing table:

Right beside the china cabinet is where my notions and ycmt patterns are organized:

And here on the cedar chest my grandfather made is my carefully cataloged fabric waiting to become outfits:

Sorry! I need some help. I do have a large rubbermaid container of fabric and small one with commercial patterns in my bedroom closet too. I would be happy to see a real organized sewing room though!

She is so adorable!!! My kids would love that playhouse.

Thanks!

why do they have to grow and get sassy and form opinions? WHY?!

I don't know!

Oh Elisa, she just sparkles! Such a gorgeous child.

Does anyone know what pattern this purse is made from?

I found it today and fell in love with it! Could make one for every holiday, etc., etc.!! Thanks!

I don't know, but that is one cute purse! Did you check youcanmakethis.com?

Stacy (sohappy) is sending me some, thank you for asking!

We took a Disney cruise and I will tell you it was the first vacation that both kids were almost hysterically crying when it was over. They were sobbing as we were leaving, begging us, "don't make us get off the boat!" That said, my husband and I didn't have the greatest time. There was no adult entertainment and he was bored after the kids and I go to bed (he is a night owl). Also, we would put the kids in the kids club because they wanted to and then try to go to the adult-only bar but there would be kids there. There were kids everywhere! I didn't understand the point of having the kids club when there was nothing for adults to do. The island was beautiful and neat and we did have a good time putting them in the kids club on the island and sitting at the bar and talking to other grown ups.

Long story short, the kids loved it but we would probably do a cheaper line if we cruised again. HTH!

Well my mom got a couple of outfits done. Here is the friends around the world. the oldest was not wanting to take pictures.

Sorry they came out so big!

 

[GoofyG]

Here is what they will be wearing to Crystal Palace. Trying to decide if I want to travel with another pettiskirt. Already taking two for MNSSHP. She hasn't started on Attikus's outfits yet. I told her to wait just a little bit longer. I feel like he is growing every day!

 

[GoofyG]

The 2yr old didn't want to try the pooh outfit. My crazy kids, good thing they aren't models!
Just for fun!

I don't know, but that is one cute purse! Did you check youcanmakethis.com?

I resemble that sewing room! Too funny! My "dining" room is my makeshift sewing room until either one of the kids moves out and I take over their bedroom OR we actually finish the basement (where I would only have a corner to take over).

I did check youcanmakethis. I also checked several other sites and found some similar ones and if I can't find the same one, I'll probably go with a knockoff and alter it some! Thanks!

WOW!!! Does your mom want to adopt me??? Those are fantastic. I still haven't cut the fabric you picked up for me because I'm so afraid of screwing up!!! The local JoAnn's still don't carry it here.

 

[longaberger_lara]

Those are adorable!!!

 

[Tinka_Belle]

GoofyG-those outfits are adorable. I especially love the Pooh Bear outfit. That petti-skirt really makes it super cute.

Thanks for all of the compliments on my mechanic work. I will letting everyone know that I fixed it myself.

Stephres-I do add extras to her uniforms. I need to post pics of this one dress in particular. It is an a-line dress with a pleated skirt attached and has a red ribbon laced down one side. I actually have several things that I need to take pics of to post. I should get this done soon.

Oh that reminds me...I forgot to post on that Crystal. I am IMPRESSED....too bad you didn't live in MA. I'm useless when it comes to anything mechanical or electronic!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I followed the directions, looked at the pictures and measured twice. However the same problem as last time. There is a huge amount of fabric at the bust and on the sides. I am a small person and the back looked great but the front was still so baggy.

Am I not measuring correctly? What else can I do? DH suggested that I try making this into a 2 piece. Skirt with elastic back on bottom and then back to a fitted top with a leather lace up the back. Any ideas? I would post a picture of the dress but it was just so wrong. I measured my waist but it was down about 2 inches below. I keep going bigger thinking I can bring it in.

Should I just measure to true fit? Should I go with a two piece since I can't get the top correct?

 

[MinnieVanMom]

And If I dare, my sewing box!

Okay guys today is my daughter, Chianna's 9th birthaday. She is with my mom now but when they bring her home is when all the fun starts. We will have over a couple of friends, swim, eat chocolate cake and ice cream and then go to dinner where she wants to. Im afraid my time here is going to be limited. You all do your best not to post that much so that I don't have a lot to catch up on now, ya here. lOl... anyhow, have a good day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS CHIANNA!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU !!!!

We want to see some pics!

Wow...Ireland sure does look like Brent!

*ahem*

Oh we were ohhhhing and ahhhhing for quite a few minute over the girls' outfits.....just gorgeous! I love all of the appliques! And your son is getting so big already! Adorable!!!

 

[kpgriffin]

Here is the outfit that the girls are wearing to Animal Kingdom. I love this pattern..it was so easy.

Maggie turned 2 on Monday and we had her party this morning. The theme was Little Einsteins and the girls got to wear their DHS dresses. We'll wear the dresses again when we dine at Hollywood and Vine.

.
Can you believe that our one year old can already blow up a ballon?

Love all the outfits posted lately.

 

[EnchantedPrincess]

Thanks sharing...here's my sewing area, and you can see why I need help organizing!

The small containers are all my notions/patterns and the big bins are fabric.

My dining table which has been converted to my sewing/cutting table...and is always a mess!!

This is beautiful and just perfect for Crystal Palace!!!!

 

[staticgirl50]

WOW! Great work everyone! I will be searching ebay and etsy for some great customs! Beautiful work!

 

[MamaOfTwoPrincesses]

Sooo cute! My DD just had a LE party too, for her 3rd bday. I don't have a custom planned for H&V when we go to DHS in October. But I have put together an outfit that looks just like Annie - pink jumper, light blue s/s tee, light blue socks, blue Keds, and butterfly hair pretties. She'll be so cute!
