Disboutiquers Part 19 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew ;-)

[MinnieForMe]

Does anyone mind sharing what camera they use to take pictures of their beautiful outfits? See how I brought sewing into my question? ROFL!

I'm thinking of getting a Canon Rebel XS. I've asked opinions of the budget board but I'm afraid to ask on the photography board.

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Sorry, I answered on facebook and not here: Katrin pattern. Super cute, but you have to trace the pieces and there aren't many directions. There aren't many parts either, so it's pretty easy to figure out.
!

I just looked at that pattern and I love it. Don't know if I have money to spend on sewing right now, but I love that it is for adults and children! Have you done any shirts for you?

 

[minnie2]

Can I steal yours???? Love it!

By the way, I keep forgetting to post on here. We adopted a lab last month from Lab4Rescue!!!!

Bailey! He is so cute!

So, I've been playing around. . . here's a couple of pictures! Keep in mind, I only have a few colors of embroidery thread at the moment, so the colors on the cupcake aren't exactly perfect. I need to order the Marathon thread, just haven't done it yet. . .

The cupcake is a design from SWAK and the other are just what came in my machine - I was playing around with placement, etc. On the hoop now is a tinkerbell applique that I'm testing out for a top I want to make for Ella.

Great job!!!!

No one remembered me? I got left in the dust, or slush as the case may be.

You're sick Jessica? Me too! Let's have a sick and left behind pity party!

Sorry! I can barely remember myself these days
Feel better to you and Jessica!

Hi Ladies, wish me luck- big day tomorrow
1st: yet another ARD meeting (for special education for DD) and now, of course we're paying the advocate $50/hr to sit there with us, so I'm even more stressed; she emailed today and offered to meet us before hand and all I could think of was the extra $25, so I said, no thanks, we're fine- we'll see you at 10:30...ugh.

Second, my Janome seems to have the same issue it had 6 months ago- bye bye another $100-150 at least. However, this is one dark cloud that just might have a slightly silver toned lining- My dad happened to mention- you're getting it fixed again? Which led me into a discussion w/ DH about how we were throwing money away on an outdated machine, and if we traded both my embroidery (PES700ii) and my sewing machine in, we might get a good deal on an Innovis 1500D (which would be super awesome, because I can almost taste that 6x10 embroidery field). Of course, between the meeting and a very full day of patients I probably won't be able to sqeeze in the sewing machine dealer, but I'm sure gonna give it my best effort. Here's hoping for good news!

Good luck with the meeting AND getting to the dealer! I was looking at that machine the other day when I bought my serger.


Well I broke down and used my new serger and am totally IN LOVE!!!!!

I saw Heather and Teresa where talking about TV shows. Heather I am itching to try Dexter (sorry Teresa)
Teresa - You would so scold me if you knew what my favorite shows are.... So don't look!

True Blood, Sons of Anarchy , Entourage, and a few more....



If I can ask everyone to please pray for my step dad. Last Tuesday night he was out to dinner with my mom and he told her about some facial numbing and twitching. Thankfully he listened to my mom and went to the ER. Well I get the call 5am Wed(not knowing they where at the ER) that he is in the hospital with a brain tumor! They removed it Thursday morning (New Years EVE) so far he is doing GREAT but we do know it is cancer we are just not sure what stage it is. We nhave no clue when the biopsy results will be in. He went home yesterday which amazes me! He doesn't need pt but does need OT which they are starting immediately. The dr said he will get full movement of his left side back and his slurred speach will get better.
My mom is so freaked out I hate that she is in Atlanta and I am in Chicago. It kills me being so far away! I am very close to my step dad and I adore him so nothing can happen to him!!
We have decided not to tell the kids at all at least until we know exactly what we are dealing with I pray that it really isn't cancer or just a level 1 and no treatment is needed so we don't have to tell the kids. They are going to freak knowing Pa is sick. For Kyle the sun rises and sets on Pa.

So if you ave it in your hearts please say some prayers he will be oK

That butterfly is one I tested my new machine with! It all looks great.

Prayers for you...gosh thank goodness he listened to your mom! My college roomates's step dad had almost the same exact thing happen and her mom was the one that pushed him to go to the ER also...saved his life. There is a lesson here and my mom always says it...we have to really be aware when something unusual happens with our mates as we may be the only ones to see it.



My TV shows are few and far between. I LOVE NCIS! I also mourn the loss of ER...so much that my BFF sent me a card when it went off! I try to watch Bones, but usually have to catch the reruns as it comes on Katie's dance night. I used to watch Heroes, but it started to really drag so I stopeed....other than that, I really don't watch TV at all.



Teresa - found out about the ring. I was a little off on the age. Seems she was working at 11 but she didn't buy the ring until she was almost 14. She was waiting tables at a Greek resturant in Durham, NC...which is where she and my mom grew up. Mom can't remember the name of the resturant and now it is bugging her. Anyway, that is also where she met my Papa.

On a trip to Oklahoma once I was driving with my Papa (that is where he is from....he is Choctaw Indian) , my mom was sleeping and I was driving, so I thought I would ask him questions...my mom was uncomfortable me bringing up her mom to him since they had divorced when my mom was 8. Anyway, he was in NC training at what was then Camp Butner during WWII. The nearest "big" city was Durham, so when they got leave, that is where the soldiers would go. That is how he met my grandmother. He says she lied about her age to him so she could date him...but so did he so he could join the Army! (Found that out while in OK on that trip!) But, they fell in love. When he shipped overseas to fight, she went to OK to live with his mother and Grandmother. My Grandma was scared for the storms in OK, so she moved back to NC while he was gone and brought his Grandma with her. I guess that is why my Papa always stayed here.

Sorry....I know that is more than you asked. I just love thinking about the two of them telling little lies to each other, it really is funny. They were a very handsome couple....I will try to take a picture of their portrait....don't have a scanner.

 

[birdie757]

Hi everyone!
Maybe I'll actually post a bit this time around Heaven knows I'll have plenty of time now with all three kids away at school.
So, I was just invited to a baby shower where there will be a onesie contest...and already I'm feeling pressure! Any ideas on a great way to decorate/applique/paint/etc a newborn size onesie for a baby girl? Baby's name will be Naomi. I'm thinking a princess face applique with an attached tutu, but is that practical? or doable? H E L P !

My sister just had a baby girl last week and they can't get enough of onsies with tutus! I think it is a great idea. They are absolutely so sweet. Maybe you could do a monogram on the oneise?

 

[Haganfam5]

If I ever get back to my TR, you are mentioned in the next day! I've actually had it written for a few months, but I have to edit it!

Too funny! I know you will get around to doing it and I can't wait to read it. I am going to make sure I am subscribed now .

I have a couple of weeks off until my next semester at college so I am trying to get everything done now and do things I didn't have time to do last semester. I know once school starts I am not going to have time to do anything, so I am trying to enjoy my break and thinking about the next vacation.....that I sooooo need.

Well, I'll check back later and maybe find some pics to post. TTFN!

Thanks! It really helps hearing good stories. I am also thrilled he listened to my mom. Same thing happened to my dad he was having stomach pains and my mom said lets go to the ER he refused and died the next day. Though I miss my dad more then anything I couldn't ask for a better step dad. Frankly my step dad has been my 2nd dad as long as my dad was my dad. He is one tough cookie though!

What a great story. I love family histories.

Oh, dear; I'll definitely be praying for him, and for your family. I know you're all grateful he listened to your mom. I hope he recovers quickly. I'm glad you're enjoying your serger- which one did you get? As far as TV; I'm so out of the loop; I love Lie to me, and I enjoy 18 and counting, and table for 12 on TLC. I also admit I really enjoy so you think you can dance.

Your new puppy is TOOOOO cute....congrats

Beautiful Puppy!!!!

Oh My Gosh is he cute. I just want to scoop him/her up and smell his little head.

Oh, cute!!!

Aww.. he/she is too cute!

What a sweet face! and those eyes... charming

Thanks Everyone! That's Bailey. He's such a good boy. We all love him to pieces. He's from Louisiana and was transported up here Thanksgiving week...just in time for all the snow!

I'm glad I found you all! I've been checking in periodically over the past few days but haven't posted. I had surgery last week and am recovering nicely thanks to my wonderful husband who refuses to let me up for anything... to that I am very appreciative. I am going to owe him bigtime when I am all better.
I was able to order the PED basic for my machine though. So watch out Heather Sue. I will be bothering you soon. I would have ordered it sooner but didn't want to spend that kind of money. Percocet helped with the decision...Maybe that is the real reason my husband won't let me sit at the computer
I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year. Mine started off with a bang!

oooh...hope you are feeling better soon.

Same to Jessica and Jeanne!

I'm thinking of getting a Canon Rebel XS. I've asked opinions of the budget board but I'm afraid to ask on the photography board.

I have the XTi....LOVE IT! If you have any specific questions-feel free to PM me.

Bailey! He is so cute!

Oh, I tried to subscribe to your thread Teresa but it wouldn't let me. It said this thread is not accepting new posts.....I am not trying to post, I am trying to subscribe.......Maybe you have it locked for now. Just let me know when it opens and I will join.

One last thing I forgot to ask before. My sister joined the boards and posted a question twice with no responses. So, I figured I would ask you ladies and see if you know. Is princess Tiana going to be at Disney World for a meet and great? I know her show is over now but we think SHE may still be there. My sister is planning a trip around May and my 3 year old niece LOVES her. Everytime she sees the commercial she says "mommy, I love her!" So, we are hoping someone knows if she will be there or not. Also, do you know where she would be?.........If so, I think I am going to have to get to work on a Tiana dress......

Thanks. I got the Brother 3034d. My step dad actually gave me money towards it for Christmas because he knew I wanted one for along time. So it was fitting that the 1st 2 things I made with it where for him and his recovery.

Kristine, thanks.

Hmm tv shows.

Biggest Loser, Bones, Ghost Whisperer, Big Bang theory, How I met your mother, The Office, CsI, NCIS, Criminal Minds.

I watched Heroes the first season but could never get into the second season. Most times I am watching my favorite shows on DVR during the day. Only time I have for me!

I am so jealous! I have had my embroidery machine since Mother's day. I can't figure it out! I have a reader/ writer that I have NO clue how to use. And I would love to do things like your cupcake (so cute!), but, seriously, how in the H-E- Double Hockey Sticks- do that...I need someone to teach me...

I was scanning Disney jobs the other day and out of curiosity checked their casting call. They are auditioning for Tiana, so sounds like she may be around for a while!

Tiana was there in December for meet and greets, I'm not sure how long it will last though. She was in the gazebo behind the Christmas store in New Orleans Square. You can always go to guest services if you are looking for a specific character and they will search all the parks to see if and when that char. will be making an appearance. We did this for 3 yrs and FINALLY got to meet Marie from the Aristocats.

Thank you! Isabella is a mutt- she's part Maltese and part Mini-dauschund. I say she's not a dog...she's a muppet!

I love that you call her a muppet! She's SUPER cute! I told my husband that I need a schnoodle but he's not on board yet!

Will pray! Sorry to hear you are going through this but glad it was caught in time.

I totally need to get back to sewing but I need to buy some material and thread so I can use my new machine. I must admit...it seems totally overwhelming. Plus, when my youngest is taking her nap, my oldest and I have been addicted to disney dance, dance revolution on the wii!!! I love that we can play it together and that we are up moving around instead of just sitting around on a couch!

As far as TV shows, does anyone watch Grey's Anatomy or cougar town? I like those as well as a few others like Desparate housewives...sorry, I don't want crime shows anymore. I'm already a chicken so those shows just plant bad thoughts in my head!

 

[woodkins]

Good Morning all...Just needed somewhere to write this and I know you all are loving an supportive. My dd7 Gianna is having such a hard time and it is breaking my heart. She has been starting to have alot of tics lately and also many OCD type symptoms. We knew this was a possibility as dh has Tourette Syndrome, but it is much rarer for girls to exhibit the symptoms. She is having major issues with clothing, textures etc which makes daily functioning difficult. She is struggling so much with being different, and it is breaking my heart for her. I think the hardest part for me is that she is so aware of what is going on with her. She told me "I know being different makes me special, but I wish I was regular"

She has struggled her whole life, born a preemie, mild CP, sensory issues, PDD it just seems like once she overcomes something another thing pops up for her. If you all could just remember her in your prayers or send a positive though our way I would really appreciate it. I know there are so many people out there with much more serious problems I feel guilty even writing this but I don't have a great family support system and needed to get it off my chest. Thanks!

 

[NiniMorris]

Speaking of Desperate Housewives...It is not usually high on my list, but I do like Brothers and Sisters...so it is usually on, even if no one is watching.

Anyway, did anyone see last week...I cannot believe I CRIED!!! When the one who is pregnant had the scare...her dream...I cried like a little baby! I think it really touched my heart string...having a special needs child and the overwhelming feeling you get sometimes. That is the first time I have ever seen it dealt with in such a sensitive manner. (or maybe I was just in such an emotional state that it touched me...not sure!)

Nini
