[Tnkrbelle565]

Sorry I haven't been around lately, we're so busy these days...I managed to print up my door signs for the cruise and I'm working on finishing the outfits. Also I made a special door sign just for Mom..what do you think..

Since I'm relatively new here...I have to ask. WHO'S BRENT??? I'm assuming that he's a guy that works on DCL???

I'm afraid our friend here, may be a stalker!

A STALKER!!! I represent that remark!

I have an embroidery machine, it is a brother 2002D with a hoop size one larger then 5x7, not sure how big it is, 7 x 12 ish, been so long since I used it. I can also just put a disk in it with the design vs having to write it to the card. It was quite pricey though, in fact it was 1/5 of the cost of my car!

Good news! The arm is not broken. But the doctor said that there is a lot of swelling on his elbow and that Monday we will be doing another x-ray after a weekend of motrin and ice packs. So, Monday we will go back again.

Thank goodness!!

Thanks Teresa, definitely!!! I already wanna go back!!! LOL

I was disappointed that we didn't get to meet you. Make sure you let us know when you're going to be in town again!

I have a cousin that is doing the same thing with her MySpace page and my neice is the one helping her set it up. They are both only 13!!

Are you sure their parents know this is going on? That's awful!

I never would have thought Teresa's niece would have a myspace page like that. Teresa is one of her friends on there, so I don't know what she was thinking!

I've been in a funk the last couple of days - we've had the wettest summer in a while and I suffer from seasonal affective disorder, so not only do the winters suck, but this summer has been awful too.
So I went out with the kids today, I really felt awful not bringing them to the playground, but I need to have my eyebrows done. (FYI I have them threaded) So I went to a grocery store that I don't have in my town (Longo's for you GTA'ers out there) and I found the dark chocolate peanut butter that you have all been raving about! I didn't think that I would find it in Canada - and DING-DONG that stuff is good. Not completely mood altering, but five-dancing-banana good!
I have a fun-filled day with the in-laws tomorrow (there is sarcasm dripping from every word there), and I think that DH maybe feels guilty that we have to go up there, so I may be able to head over to the USA for some fabric shopping on Sunday. (My friends all say that I win the cr@ppy in-laws prize)
OK rant over. I will now eat a spoonful of heaven . . .

I have to find me some of that peanut butter! We've had a pretty yucky summer here in Michigan, too. Lots of cloudy days and it just hasn't been very nice. Sorry about the in-laws. I'll be thinking of you!

Sorry I haven't been around lately, we're so busy these days...I managed to print up my door signs for the cruise and I'm working on finishing the outfits. Also I made a special door sign just for Mom..what do you think..

Seriously girl, you need some professional help!

They both turned out so cute!! You did a great job!

All three of us did a music camp this week where the kids learned a Christian musical and performed it last night. They didn't have speaking parts but they both had solos and they were so cute! I did crafts with the kids.

I hope you got it on tape! That sounds so cute!

A STALKER!!! I represent that remark!

Wow! That's either a really expensive machine, or a really cheap car!

quick question I am making the portrait peasant top from ycmt and dd wants a ribbon on it so it will tie in the back like HeartherSues peter pan top.What stitch do I use to attach it?

I'm so disappointed! I pulled my Double Wide hoop out this morning and started to assemble the whole contraption, only to realize that one of the pieces that the sent is wrong!

I was all ready to use this thing today. Now I'm gonna have to wait for the company to send me the right piece. BOO HOO!

Get the kleenex again! This was on our local news last night and it really hit me. It's Amys Story. Click on view the video:
http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=519872
this was so very sad,it just makes you hug your kids. She also has a blog the link is at the bottom of the linked page.

this was so very sad, just makes you hug your kids. i teach preschool and this year one of my 3 year olds moms died of cancer. every time i have a rough time , i try to think of moms like her who would have done anything for one more rough day with her daughter

I followed his story and that is really sad. His family will surely miss him!

i read his book and watched him on you tube he was inspiring

I am SO far behind! We've had a pretty busy week, so I haven't had much computer time. The time I've been online has been spent writing my trip report. So, here I am to shamelessly plug my TR.

I UPDATED MY TRIP REPORT!

Part 23 is the beginning of this installment.

It's a scary world, parents need to be cautious! Hopefully they will all come to their senses soon!!!

I updated my Trip Report!!! It's the day we meet Chantell!!!!

I'm off to bed, but in the morning, I can read Heather's version of the day!

Thanks, I passed this along to my mom. I don't know if she buys thread on-line or not but I figured it wouldn't hurt.

I have ordered from this company before, and have been very, very happy with the quality of the thread. Just thought I'd pass that along as well.

That's great. I'll let her know! Thanks.

I own a Singer Futura (150) and I really enjoy it. I paid $519. It has a 5x7 field, and has a usb connection which allows you to use designs that have been downloaded. It does have to be connected to your computer while operating, but that isn't a big deal to me since I run it off of my laptop.

Wow! Those have really gone down in price a lot since I looked at them 5 or 6 years ago!

My machine is a model that didn't come with digitizing software. I think that made a big difference in the price. Of course, I've probably made up the difference in the price since I purchased because I've added software (not the Singer software, but Embird), and I just bought a super huge hoop. BUT, I did that as I was able to add on, so I didn't have as large of an initial investment.

 

[sahm1000]

Thanks 2B...... I like your energy too!

And speaking of the February Disboutique Meet...
OH! ANd can you please add your real life first name when you do it??? That would help me alot!

I have the same problem Karen! I know almost no one's name! I think we need to make a list of everyone's name (if you are comfortable giving it anyway).

I'll start. I'm Benita

Like I said, I've had a pretty stressful week, but something AMAZING happened today!!!!!


You all might remember that while we were in Florida, 2 1/2 months ago, our cat ran away? So, we got a new little kitten about a month ago. Well, today, we got a phone call from someone who had found our cat!!!!! I have NO idea what he had been doing for the last 2 1/2 months, but we got him back tonight, and he looks great!!! I thought he woudl be skinny and flea infested, but he doesn't look any different than when we lost him. Although, he does look HUGE to us now, compared to our little kitten!!! I combed him out with a flea comb, and didn't even find any fleas or ticks on him. We brought him into the house, and he came out of the carrier, and went right to the kitchen where his food is! He is now in his old spot, underneath the computer desk, next to my feet!!!! It's like he was never gone!!! Foxie, our new kitten doesn't quite know what to think of him though!!! He keeps running up to him looking at him, then one f them will growl, and Foxie runs away. Then, he'll sneak back up to him really slowly. They both keep giving me looks that seem to say, "What the heck is HE doing in my house?!"

We are pretty pleased to have him home! I am just so shocked!!! I thought for sure he was dead!!! I'm really glad we keep nametags on our cats!

Now, if we can just get him to stay inside form now on!!! He is already meowing to be let outside!!!!

Wow, that is crazy! How lucky to get him back! I'm very happy for you. I know that must have been stressful to not know what happened to him.

I'll have to check it out! I am about out of black and running low on a few other colors.

BUT, I did that as I was able to add on, so I didn't have as large of an initial investment.

I was trying to figure out the cost difference but I think they have come down alot in the past 6-8 years. Mine is almost 8 years old. I don't even have the digitizing software, but can do a little right on the screen. I think I was pretty crazy when I bought it, kid and care free for the most part!

 

[spongemommie05]

Happy birthday, Misty!!!

I read your entire trip report and commented on it and everything...but, you know, you don't need to feel guilty that you haven't read mine.

Thanks for the Birthday wishes

Good news! The arm is not broken. But the doctor said that there is a lot of swelling on his elbow and that Monday we will be doing another x-ray after a weekend of motrin and ice packs. So, Monday we will go back again.

oh that is good . but poor thing i hope he feels better..

Oh - I forgot to add....

I paid off my Disney trip today!!!

Wilderness Lodge here I come - with plenty of Disney customs in tow!!!

Sorry I haven't been around lately, we're so busy these days...I managed to print up my door signs for the cruise and I'm working on finishing the outfits. Also I made a special door sign just for Mom..what do you think..

I think it is cute, everyone should have a healthy obsession at least yours is a real person, mine is a fictional vampire..

 

[iheartdisney]

I'm takaing the plunge here...
I've been lurking since around page 121 of the last thread. I am a beginner level at sewing. I've done alot of quilts, but those are all just straight lines, so clothes are a different story! Right now I am sticking to patterns without buttons or zippers.
So, the outfit I'm working on is my first journey into the world of double fold bias tape. I tried using it last night, but hit a snag, literally! Do I need to sew the entire garment by hand, or is there a trick? Becasue every time I try to run it through the machine, it gets pushed down into the bobbin-hole part of the sewing machine.
Also, I found a pattern that looks SOOOO much like a Cinderella dress, but at the start of the movie. has anyone ever made a peasant princess dress, and how did that go over at the parks?
Thanks!

 

[spongemommie05]

Here are my outfits for the day. I used a pattern for this one. It was touch and go at times on the shirt but it turned out ok. I am going to add a ruffle to the shirt though.

This one turned out ok but I would make it longer next time and do the straps different

I love all the pictures of Europe! I am so jealous. Canada is the only country I have been in outside the US Someday...

so cute!!!

Thanks for all the B-day wishes ! you guys rock ..

i need to do some sewing today ... my kiddos go back to school on mond...

Because of recent abductions

in daylight hours, refresh yourself

of these things to do

in an emergency situation...

This is for you,

and for you to share

with your wife,

your children,

everyone you know.

After reading these 9 crucial tips,

forward them to someone you care about.

It never hurts to be careful

in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :

The elbow is the strongest point

on your body.

If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide

in New Orleans

If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse,

DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM.

Toss it away from you....

chances are that he is more interested

in your wallet and/or purse than you,

and he will go for the wallet/purse.

RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car,

kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole

and start waving like crazy.

The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.

This has saved lives.


4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars

after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit

(doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.

DON'T DO THIS!)

The predator will be watching you, and this

is the perfect opportunity for him to get in

on the passenger side, put a gun to your head,

and tell you where to go.

AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR ,

LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

If someone

is in the car

with a gun

to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF,

repeat:

DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine

and speed into anything, wrecking the car.

Your Air Bag will save you.

If the person is in the back seat

they will get the worst of it .

As soon as the car crashes

bail out and run.

It is better than having them find your body

in a remote location.


5. A few notes about getting

into your car in a parking lot,

or parking garage:

A.) Be aware:

look around you,

look into your car,

at the passenger side floor ,

and in the back seat

B.) If you are parked next to a big van,

enter your car from the passenger door.

Most serial killers attack their victims

by pulling them into their vans while the women

are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car

parked on the driver's side of your vehicle,

and the passenger side.. If a male is sitting alone

in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back

into the mall, or work, and get a

guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)


6. ALWAYS take the elevator

instead of the stairs.

(Stairwells are horrible places to be alone

and the perfect crime spot.

This is especially true at NIGHT!)


7. If the predator has a gun

and you are not under his control,

ALWAYS RUN!

The predator will only hit you (a running target)

4 in 100 times; And even then,

it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.

RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern!


8. As women, we are always trying

to be sympathetic:

STOP

It may get you raped, or killed.

Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking,

well educated man, who ALWAYS played

on the sympathies of unsuspecting women.

He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often

asked 'for help' into his vehicle or with his vehicle,

which is when he abducted
his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:

Someone just told me that her friend heard

a crying baby on her porch the night before last,

and she called the police because it was late

and she thought it was weird. The police told her

'Whatever you do, DO NOT

open the door.'

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby

had crawled near a window, and she was worried

that it would crawl to the street and get run over.

The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way,

whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.'

He told her that they think a serial killer

has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax

women out of their homes thinking that someone

dropped off a baby He said they have not verified it,

but have had several calls by women saying that

they hear baby's cries outside their doors

when they're home alone at night.

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door

for a crying baby ----

This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because

the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on

America 's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled

the serial killer in Louisiana


I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.

It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.

I was going to send this to the ladies only,

but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc.,

you may want to pass it onto them, as well.


this it to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it

and it's better to be safe than sorry..

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or love one's life!​
