1.)Please post a picture of gore. I just KNOW that Heather and Teresa would so enjoy the visual feast of another sock monkey. They love them so!
2.)Moi? Mean??? I think not! I prefer to look at it as protective! I just wanted to warn you of what you could possibly encounter if you headed out in certain parts of the country. I ask you...... what harm is there in that?? I even gave you several chances not to look- and posted warnings! So- you see......... I really am your friend!
3.)I know you really want to see pics of Gore- maybe you will be enlightened by the beauty of a well loved sock monkey!
2.) Refer to 1.) above! ENCOURAGING people to post pictures to scare us!!!!
3.) Yeah, right... I have to say, I think that is a PERFECT name for a sock monkey!
4.)I have to say that I think it's kind of neat that you thought of Heather while you were out and about!
Well my parents are supposed to fly back from their trip tonight at 9:07 so I decided to finish the tunic dress I promised to make for mom a month ago! Megan took the picture:
I made a little clutch/wristlet to match:
And one for my sister:
Also, we were in Wal mart looking for white t-shirts for Jessica and I found this totally cute outfit. I am glad Megan still likes little girl stuff!
And a little something for Scrappy! You can tell by the expression of his face that he hates it. I am hoping it will grow on him though. Megan picked out the fabric and I am happy with the way it came out.
Your Mom's tunic dress looks great!!! Did she like it?
I love Megan's new outfit, she looks adorable! Mom took the girls school shopping last night and they gave us a little fashion show at Pizza Night! Lydia picked out a shirt with the Jonas Brothers on it. She has a bit of a crush on Nick.
Lydia got her new Skecher's light up shoes last night too! They are so cute! And BRIGHT! Wow, those lights are REALLY REALLY bright! I'm not real happy my baby girl is wearing a size 3 shoe either! They are a bit big, but not too much.
Scrappy looks very dapper in his new harness! Where did you get the hardware for it? I want to make my cat a new collar and I don't know where to get the clasps.
I love the little purses!!! Those are so cute!
I have to go back about 20 pages to catch up. . . but wanted to post this now, and then catch up later:
Had my 32 week appointment yesterday. Isabel had her head down still - yeay - and she will hopefully stay that way
Her heart rate was at 144 and the poking and prodding to measure my uterus got her SUPER active!! I'm measuring at 34 weeks - a little big, but they say you can be +/- 2 and that is normal. Today we did the 3D/4D ultrasound, she was sooo sleepy, but still looking adorable (at least to us). . .
My daughter ALWAYS has her hands touching or hiding her face, and has had her legs crossed at EVERY ultrasound - even back at 12 weeks! So it was no surprise that both were true this time!
This is how the u/s started, and how she wanted to be most of the time (she's either shy or was very comfortably sleeping
LOVE how clear you can see her little face here:
Oh Adi, you can just tell she is a little cutie pie!
OT question for those of you on
I bought a custom dress over a month ago. The person has not sent the dress nor sent me any emails other than july 25 when she sent a note saying she had almost finished it. I don't want to be a pest but would any of you object to a buyer sending a just checking on the progress email. I really wanted the fabric as it was about 3 yards of silk for under 20 made into a custom dress. Buying the fabric alone from anywhere else was about 3x more.
Thanks
I'm really glad you said Ebay and not Etsy!
Personally, I don't mind at all if a customer emails me to ask the progress of something they have bought. If they said it was almost done a month ago, then you certainly have a right to know what's going on.
OT....so we had to cancel our trip to Boston. stupid hurricane. our hotel was one block away from the ocean...with 20 foot swells on the way and an expected 1-2 inches of rain it was better to stay home. I'm so sad!! I made that sponge bob skirt for my DD because sponge bob was going to be at the aquarium. but the worst part is the hotel won't refund our 150.00 room!!!!! I am SO mad.
Oh no!!!! Would they let you at least change your dates?
Ok so I finished the girls stripwork twirly skirts. Thank you so much for the tutorial Leslie it was wonderful
Unfortunately when I wanted them to model them & took them outside to take pics the heat change fogged up my camera lens ugh. So the pics of them wearing them didn't come out well.
Here is Morgan's skirt:
I see more of these skirts in my future cause my girls love them.
The skirt and your girls look adorable!!! A little foggy, but adorable!
Ya know.... really............... how can Heather and Teresa be so afraid of an innocent sock monkey when they have THAT doll in the family??
We are pretty scared of that doll too!
Wow! I can't believe how fast this board moves-I can't keep up. I am continually amazed and inspired by everyone on this board. I wanted to share my back to school creations. I made a little Minnie Mouse inspired bag to keep her set of extra clothes in at Pre-K. My husband wanted to know why she couldnt just use a ziploc like all the other kids-sometimes he just doesnt get it.
I also wanted to post some of the creations I made for our May trip, but I only have a couple of pictures where you can see her clothes cause the rest of the time we were encased in ponchos. I'm going to try to get her to model some of the outfits I've been working on for our September trip. (sorry about the big picture-I swear I resized it!)
I can't see it! When you resize something in Photobucket, you will often still see it as big here, while the rest of us see it as the right size. I would love to see these, could you repost them bigger? Please??
You know.... just when I was starting to feel like I fit in over here..... then you guys go and show me how ORGANIZED you all are!!!!
I'm don't mean to insult any of you, but organized people SCARE me!!!!! The "organized" part of my rather substantial stash is in flip top see through buckets arranged by holiday or theme (I just counted 20 of them....) . I have 4 or 5 filled with just Disney stuff........ Then there's the HUGE pile of Disney princess fabric in a CHAIR in the corner of the sewing room....... There's a pile about 4 feet high of fabrics that have to be sorted and returned to their bins..... and the pile of Satin behind a bunch of costumes to keep it from falling over.......
In my DEFENSE.......... I'm in and out of that stuff every day, so putting it back just seems so senseles......
And NO...... there will be no pictures forthcoming......... Now back to sewing a Snow White gown and rags costume before Monday AM.......
See, I like you more and more!!! I am sooooo unorganized!!! Did you see my sister's sewing room?? Or Karen's??? Well, if you can imagine something the complete oposite of that, you will have my "sewing room" !! Which really isnt' a room. My machines and any current projects are on the kitchen table and my fabric stash is spread amongst 1/2 the basement. I have some storage containers, but most stuff is just on top of them. It's mostly folded. I was just telling Corey today that I REALLY want some shelves to put things on.
Thank you everyone for your kind words. The boys are way too little to understand what is going on, thankfully. Though I know when we attend the services, having other people upset is sure to impact them. I have debated leaving them home but they should be there for at least part.
It's difficult. We have such joy with Ryker here in the house, especially seeing the bond he and Draykey are building. But I hate that he moved here because she was dying. (She was originally going to adopt him, which we supported.) Logically I tell myself this was what was going to happen, and at least this way he had a transition to us rather than being there with her while she was so sick and then suddenly losing her. He has gotten to see her frequently in the last six months.
Eh, I'm blabbering, sorry. Just a lot to wrap my thoughts and feelings around. It's hard when your joy happens due to someone else's sadness.
Marah, I can't imagine how hard this is, but I'm really glad the boys are with you and in a safe, stable home. I'm also glad Ryker was able to be loved and cared for by his Grandma? for the first part of his life.
Should I go to a dealer or WalMart or Joann's or order online??? HELP!!! 
(and no I haven't used all the fabric in the closet.)
