just checking in! Didn't want to get lost! I hope everyones Easter was wonderful!
Good Morning Everyone!!!
A few updates on Trace and Perrin's big gives!!
Trace would really like a Shark Shirt for SW and his sister would love a Penguine one if anyone is up for making iron on's for them it would be GREAT!!
For Perrin, we could still use some special Baby things for his brother Alek, something for their universal day (Perrin loves Spiderman), Tie Dye shirts, and some of the little extra's that people like to send!!! I know it was a busy weekend, so after you've caught your breath, come on over and check out the board!!!! THANKS!!!!
Too cute!!! We took quilt squares in December for signatures. I just haven't done anything with them yet!!!
I really love the crisp and clean look that this has... Great job!

Awesome pillows! I love all of your creations.
Hello,
Just got off the phone with BBB to discover there is no chance Rapunzel will be an option for my little girl's 4th birthday. So, we downgraded to the Crown package and I'm getting the sewing going. I have a dress that I purchased that is almost the right shade of purple/pink and I'm going to create an overskirt, crosshatch lacings for the bodice, and the requisite poofed sleeves. I have two weeks to do this before our trip. I thought I'd post my adventures here to get ideas and advice if I get stuck.
A little about me: I'm a newbie sewer (as in I took the required classes in home economics in junior high and have done small projects here and there since. For example, I've sewed simple outfits for my kids and their dolls, created some halloween costumes, and do my own hemming. I've done everything by hand so far).
Today is Day 1 of this sewing adventure. I am going to the fabric store this afternoon. If this is in the wrong place feel free to boot me out.
Finished up my daughters Rapunzel pillow. I love how it turned out. And I got to see it with the pillow in it! I did this one 16"x16" and it was much easier to manuver. I also recommend doing 1/2" seams at least, instead of 1/4".
The Rapunzel and words are mine and the motif on the back is Heather's. I LOVE the motif..it is so pretty!
My to do list is getting smaller!
This is actually the perfect place for you!!!! We are all at different levels!! I really have learned alot about sewing on here from all the experienced peoples!!! WELCOME!!!
Nini - sorry you are having embroidery machine withdrawal...how long till she's fixed?
Wow! Your crayon bags are awesome! You are sooo talented. I love the fabrics.I have decided it was not meant for me to do anything or try and post any pictures here!
I cannot get my photobucket account to work today. It lets me in and I can see half the pictures, but I can't upload to it. So I decided to upload the pictures to Facebook and then to here...not working this morning. My facebook account has been trying to upload two small pictures for the past hour. In the meantime, my account is frozen until they finish! ARGH!!
Anyway, I am totally at a loss without my embroidery machine. I did manage to make two crayon artfolios (pattern from YCMT) in the past few days. They were supposed to be part of the kids Easter, but I forgot to buy the crayons...and I am one short...so I am putting them back for Disney trip in September.
It has been so long since I posted an actual picture here, I thought I'd post pictures of them...but after all this time, I'm thinking it is not worth it! LOL
{Insert pretend picture of two crayon 'bags' (I really don't like the name of the pattern!). One is a green dot to match my DD10's beach bag and the other is a Mickey/Minnie print from WalMart in the pre-cut section. I've got one more to make in Princess fabric.}
