Welcome back!!! I love the pictures!
I've been a lurker for sometime and I absolutely love all of your designs. I finally got up the courage to do a little sewing myself. It is so hard to get creative when you have a DS of 3. Here are two outfits that I just finished along with a couple of other things that keep me busy. Thank you all for your inspiration. You make beautiful things.
GREAT stuff!!!! I bet you want to join our Big Give, don't you! (Link in my siggy)
If you still need someone to print, I am more than happy to do that for you. I don't have mad sewing skills yet but I would like to help.
Just PM me and let me know what you need.
This one is full, but I'll be posting another one right after I finish this mulitquote!
I was wondering if someone could direct me to the directions on how to make legwarmers out of socks. I found some pretty cool socks today and thought I would give it a try.
Thanks!
I know it's been answered, but I try to bookmark most every tutorial that is mentioned on here. I'm even starting to add pictures!
I just scored 6 BRITAX marathon car seats for $300.28. Regular price is $279.99 for 1. Target.com has 2 patterns on sale, cow 59.99 and granite 42.99 with free shipping and I got an extra 10% off with my AAA membership. My daughter heard about it on the budget boards and called me. She didn't know I got the extra 10% with my AAA. I bought 1 for each of my 2 nieces baby's that are on the way. My daughter wanted 1 and my son wanted 3, 2 for them and 1 for his mother-n-law.
WOO HOO!!! Great deal guys!!!! I love the Britax seats!!!
Bonjour!
Also I want to show you my work
I very proud of myself, my DSis is helping me a little.
The doll is a Corrole because we dont have american girl here in montreal...
!!!!! Does AG ship to Montreal? Arminda just got her first AG doll the other week, Samantha, thanks to Aunt Heather!
Sorry about the spelling and grammer
I am in a hurry. I am having surgery in the morning and I need to get to the grocery store. I would appreciate your prayers.
Thanks!
I hope your surgery goes smoothly!
My husband said We need more carseats? We have one sitting in the garage floor I have Britax seats for my DGD4&2, and 1 waiting for the baby to move to. I had purchased a Regent for my DGD3, she is very tall, when I was babysitting her. They put her in daycare this year so I gave that seat to my son for their car. It didn't fit my DD's girls. They are very petite and the seat was too big for them. I have a minivan and I have 4 carseats in it. I have to pull one of the babies seat base when I have an extra passenger. No one can get their bum in between the 2 carseats that are in the backseat so I can only seat 6 people.
GOOD GRANDMA!!!!! If there was a Good Grandma award smiley, it would go right here--------------> <--------------------Right there
Arminda has the Regent, and I am considering getting it for Lydia too. I'm just hoping they come out with something I like better!
Go right ahead and talk yourself into it. To good of a deal on a great car seat. The only kind I buy! I tell my husband to always lock the door. We ahve more money in car seats and strollers in my car i'ts crazy
Heather and I say that too! If only people knew what a fortunes worth of carseats we had in the car! They are by far the most expensive things I'll ever have in my car!
I did some sewing on Friday night. I made Madi these overalls with leftover's.
Too cute!!!!
I've got a lot of flack for Sawyer's hair and it's not even that long! I think he looks adorable and I can't imagine how he'd would look with super-short hair.
WHAT??? Why?? I love his hair!
Cute! I knew Cookie Monster has no nose because my sister and I had him in puppet form when we were growing up. We also had Kermit the Frog. Big Muppet lovers here so I am loving your shirts!!
David had an Oscar the Grouch, and I had a Cookie Monster puppet! I think Heather has the Oscar now, but I dont' know where my Cookie Monster went! I wonder if it was the kind you had? There was some sort of little loopy thing inside of it that you were suppose to pull, but I never could quite figure out what it was suppose to do.
Okay, I just have to say,
I JUST ADDED 2 DAYS TO MY FEBRUARY TRIP!!
When he is done with that, could he send it to Brian????
Oh, and the celebrations section is CRAP!
So, Jessica, are you trying to tell us that you don't really care for it??
Jessica said the C word!
I finished the second set of dresses for my girls. I really need to keep moving because I am already behind on my sewing schedule.
These dresses are for a day at the Magic Kingdom. Please excuse the unmade bed. All of my DD's bedding ended up on her sisters bed. I still have not gotten a straight answer
I go back and forth quite a bit about the red and pink color combo. I do really love it on these dresses though. I am thinking about buying red and pink puddle jumpers to go with the dresses. Well, and bows of course!
Aimee! I LOVE the Dumbo and that fabric!! Hanna looks adorable!
ENABLER ALERT:
MINNIE DOT FABRIC $1.99 a yard
http://www.hancockfabrics.com/Red-D...VproductId48187228VVcatId537258VVviewprod.htm
I just ordered a bolt (10 yards). . . don't even have kiddo's (yet), but planning on saving it and making things for others (like big gives, Christmas gifts, etc). . .
Hope this helps any of you who may want it or want to stock up!!
Speaking of Big Gives......
If you are so inclined, could you keep my brother, Ed, in your prayers tomorrow? He has had gastric bypass surgery (twice) and has lost a LOT of weight. Tomorrow he is having surgery to repair a hernia, and basically a tummy tuck, back tuck, leg tuck, etc. etc. etc. His surgeons wanted to do it all at once, and it's going to be approximately a 9 hour surgery and will take at least 6 weeks to recover. He's the only member of my family that I have left, there were only two of us and both of our parents are deceased. I just feel really nervous about the whole thing. Thanks
I hope everything goes well for Ed. 
Teresa's Super Walmart has fabric and the celebration center, too. My walmart just has the fabric department and a huge craft section (that they don't call the celebration center, but it has the same stuff). My Walmart still has $1 fabric and quite a bit of $2 fabric. But, Teresa's has changed to $1.50fabric and $2 fabric. It's weird how they charge different amounts for the same stuff!
I thought my Walmart had $1 fabric when I was there a few days ago. Then again, I don't know that I payed that much attention! They keep telling me they dont' have room for more fabric, but I keep telling them how I think they could arrange it to fit way more in there. They just LOVE me at my Walmart!
I'm glad you're sharing your crabby mood with everyone else today!
Side note: Jessica, Steph, Teresa, and I have all been exchanging crabby e-mails all morning. It seems we all woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. (Either that, or just I did and I put everyone else in a bad mood)
I'm not in too bad of a mood, because I just posted a new Big Give for a family that I think is just fantastic!!! But, more on that in my next post!
MINNIE DOT:
I was just looking at the description on Hancocks.com and it says the dots are 2" in diameter. Those are some REALLY big dots! The Minnie dot that most have used have 3/4"-1" dots.
Just wanted to give anyone considering an order a heads-up!
Heather is a measuring savant.
I can simply explain something to her, and she will tell me how big it is! And, when I measure it, she is always right! I think she should go on Letterman!
HI guys! Just wanted to check in. I have been so sick and tired and busy that the minute I get to sit down I'm usually passed out in a chair or just going to bed. I am feeling really crappy. SO I wanted to let you all know that I have not forgotten about you and I am ok. Hopefully I'll have a chance to catch up a little later in the week.
I did want to let you all know that I am now an official Mini Van owner
I am so old...
PLEASE don't do too much T! I'm glad to know you are feeling crappy, I always consider that good sign!
I love my Mini van!
I will DIE if I don't get this fabric! I have been looking for Minnie Dot for years! YES, literally years! So I ordered some, hopefully it will come! WHOO HOO! Thanks! I didn't even take a second and look for a coupon!
Jessica, you are dramatic today! I love it! Our Joann had Minnie Dot not too long ago, do you have a Joanne near you, they should be able to order it for you. Heather can tell you exactly how big the dots are though!
Prayers
a) yep, that's what I'm sayin'--Teresa, you sure you don't want to come to the dismeet?
b)
y'all have been exchanging crabby emails without me? You know I'm soooooooooooooooo good at crabby emails!
.
I wish I could go to the Dismeet, we could have a crabby party together! Not to mention I DESPISE and HATE Februarys, and now I will be all alone for a whole week of that horrible nasty miserable month while Heather, Mom, Tessa, and Sawyer are galivanting around in the Florida sunshine without even a though about poor little Teresa, sitting home, freezing in the dark gloomy, icy, cold, depressing Michigan February in their heads.
But, other than that, I'm real happy for you guys! 
I know I should be dis owned for not wanting an embroidery machine but to be honest I dont think I am ready for one. I am afraid to attempt it. The dora overalls were an attempt at a aplique but I chickened out and made it so it has frayed edges. 
The collar is easy if you follow Carla's directions and you could do snaps with "decorative" buttons!
