MORNING!
Love everything that has been posted! I just can't keep up! It doesn't help that I have stopped getting emails when there are posts. I can't figure out why.
I wanted to share a shirt I made for me with one of Heather's designs!
The partners statue is my al time favorite so I had to have this design. as with all of heathers stuff it stitched out perfectly.
That is really neat! I am so jealous of anyone that has an embroidery machine. Sadly, I can't justify the cost. Maybe I'll change my mind once I try hand embroidering.
Just when I thought I had finished all the dresses for our trip in 24 days! I was able to snag an Akershus on Monday! Now I HAVE to have Princess dresses...right?
To those of you who made those wonderful Princess Sundresses...what pattern did you start with? I see some look like Carla C's Simply Sweets... I really wished i had paid more attention to them when I first saw them!
I'm really not very good at making changes to patterns...I know the basics of HOW to do it, just don't have the skill or courage to actually do it.
Any suggestions?
Also, who are we more likely to see? I know it is a rotating thing, and there is no guarantee...but who should I sort of plan for?
Stress and pressure...I LIVE for it! (not really!...although Hubby did ask me what I was going to do after we got back....)

Haven't been, but have read alot and do plan on going. From what I've read about 99% of the time Belle is the greeter and the princess you get the photo op with. Others include Snow White, Aurora, Cinderella, Jasmine, Ariel, Mulan and Alice (and likely one or two that I'm forgetting). I am so hoping we get Jasmine and Ariel as those are dd's favs. Shannon (Revrob) made
a gorgeous Belle sundress that she posted pics of not long ago. You may want to peek at her on e*s* b/c I think it might be on there. Someone else had done one as well, but I can't recall who.
First day of school here today.
It seems so quiet in the house. Oh the joys of peace and silence!
More photos on FaceBook. But I thought I would share at least one!
Oh Karen,
Almighty Cricut Queen, notice the sign? Yes! I did use my CDS and welded all those letters together by myself last night. Whew! I think I finally figured out how to do that!
So cute and love the sign. My kids are lucky if they even get a pic on the first day. I'm just not that organized. Among toting in bagfuls of school supplies the last thing I want to carry is my camera.
And now, I have something to post! I've been too exhausted lately to do much sewing, and adding an hour of exercise back into my daily schedule (finally) is really cutting into the time I used to use to craft, which is both
and
.
It's nothing big or impressive, but I'm happy with them because it was a major modification of a simple shorts pattern and they came out exactly as I wanted them to and they fit my daughter really well. I made a pair of white eyelet bloomers to go under my DD's Minnie Mouse Halloween costume. No pics of them on her, because that felt oddly like taking pics of my daughter in her underwear!
She tried them on, said they were great and looked like Minnie's, and then said (in true three year old fashion), "Can I take them off now?" I hope they stay on her in October. It'll be cold-ish here and she'll need as many layers as I can get on her!
Very cute and love that you used eyelet.
LOVE this!
Where did you find it?
I need some professional opinions...
Our trip is in late Nov/Early Dec. I am planning applique princess shirtsand strip skirts for the girls, but I can't decide if I should do short sleeve or long sleeve.
They'll be wearing them in the evening for Akershus dinner, and maybe during the day at the park. I could always throw a jacket over S/S until we get there, and I'm worried a L/S might be too warm during the day, but I think its hard to predict the weather then.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
I advise short sleeves, but something you could put over a long sleeve knit shirt. There is no way I'm covering my customs with jackets! I will likely make a little cape for
MVMCP though b/c while I want dd to look cute, I am not cruel enough to make her freeze -- well, at least not too much
I also am bringing leggings galore. I just found some on clearance ($3.50) at Target so got every color they had (black, gray, hot pink, and purple). Even if we don't use them for the trip she highly prefers leggings under dresses at school instead of tights. I also got some brown ones at Walmart, but not on clearance. DS will have thermals along that he can put on under his pants, and I'm trying to mainly bring pants that unzip into shorts for him.
Hey LOOK, I actually sewed something. WOW. And I did it at 1:00 in the morning and if you could see it in person you could totally tell
But she had it for the first day of pre-school and she was very excited. She picked out the pencil fabric all by herself.
She woke up at about 2:30 to go to the potty and came in to the kitchen, rubbed her eyes and asked if her new dress was done. So I was glad I stayed up to make it.
don't ask me what's up w/ the weird face.
Looks great! If her hair was just a touch longer I would swear that my child from the back view -- love those curls!
