Ok, I need some ideas. My DD4 is all day pre-k. She loves school and no problem getting her to go. The techer has talked to me, and said she is very bright but she thinks she needs to be center of attention. Also if one kid is at the teachers desk then she thinks she need to be there too. She also thinks she needs to worry about and tell other kids what to do. Any ideas on how I can get her to stay focused and not worry about everyone and everything else, She will be 5 in March!
While I'm at it, any ideas on how to pitty train a STUBBORN selective potty trainer? She was in panties for a month and decided she was going to wear pull ups instead. She knows what she is doing and some days she will do great and then other days she just says no, and comes tell you when she has done something in her pants. It's so frustrating!
...only because she is sooooooooo tired of gold brocade. Maybe by next January she (and by "she" I mean "I") would be willing to do it again....and we could even find a gold brocade-y tablecloth on clearance left over from Christmas!

If you get an answer for the first one...let me know because we have the same issue!! Aisling is SOOO bossy. My day care providers put a positive spin on it that she's a great helper and a natural leader...I don't think her Kindergarten teacher will be as kind in the fall
What worked for us and potty training was as soon as we got home, we took off all Ash's clothes and put on a nightgown...just a nightgown. And we made her walk around the house like that. Worked like a charm. (I knew that she wouldn't go as far as peeing on the floor).
Good Luck
Someone had suggested that for Jenna. They said to put a sundress on her and she will go in the potty. Well it didn't work. I have not shampooed that much carpet in my life. It was horrible. That lasted for two days and then back in pull-ups.If you get an answer for the first one...let me know because we have the same issue!! Aisling is SOOO bossy.

Well peeing on the floor she willd along with playing in #2. Can you tell I have my hands full with this one. I never would have imagined playing in #2, but yet she has done about 5 times. My oldest trained in a day, she pee pee in her panties and that was it. I'm going insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't even want to think how she will be in kindergarten. When I'm already having talks with teachers at a pre-k level, it's going to be long shool yrs.

Let me know when you figure out the potty training thing. I'm in a very similar boat.
On the school thing, I would go observe her in the classroom. You could go on the pretense of helping out. I help in Luke's classroom once a week and I find it veeeery interesting! I learn a lot about the kids, their personalities, how they mix, who conflicts with who and why, and I have learned a lot about the teacher and her relationship with the kids as a group and individuals.
So I have thrown all pretense out the window. I am admitting that I am planning my family's first trip to Disney World around Auntie's sewing schedule.
Help me pick a month. I have it narrowed down to 3.
So what month??

I'm in Dallas (actually a little north of the city) but I've never heard of it. What is it?
She could make warm weather dresses like this but in a Halloween theme.

I think anything cotton would dry quickly. My DGD wore this dress to Disneyland last summer and played in the water whenever she saw it and dried nicely when she was out of it!
Okay, back to lurking! Great job on all the outfits! Prayers for those who need them.

Does anyone's walmart still have the royal blue pooh print with the gang catching fireflies? Wendy was going to pick some up for me (thanks Wendy!!!)
But they were out...
The Big Give has motivated me to sew again. This is what I made to get started.
I had Drew model it for me when it was done because Madilynn was asleep. Of course when Madilynn saw that picture she would have none of that. The hat had HER name on it, she would be the model
And as a bonus here's a picture of Drew from Saturday wearing his Mickey Shirt from Nancy (aka Dreamer & Wisher) with the Mickey that greets us at Children's Hospital.
Look how close to 250 we're getting again!!!
If anyone is bored and wants to help me with an internet search, I am looking for this fabric:
http://www.cottonboutique.com/cgi-i...account=cottonboutique&image=sbrose01prus.jpg
But in BLACK. It's haunting me...You guys know what it's like to be haunted by a fabric, right?
I saw it two months ago and went to get it today. The lady looked at me like I was crazy and said 'Oh, that's long gone!'
It's made by Seattle Bay and doesn't seem to have a name other than 'rose.'

I think I once saw a storm trooper graphic on the board? I want to make one but can't remember who made it or if it ok to copy the design. Does anyone else remember?
Does anyone know if you can return fabric to Joann's if you have the receipt. I bought a ton of Valentine's Day fabric and I really just don't love it. Rather than make something I don't like I think I'm going to return it if possible.
After Disneymommieof2's awesome outlet find I started googling for fabric outlets.
I found this one:
http://www.goldendor.com/
and I thought that someone on this thread lived near there.
Fantastic outfits! Love the pants, are those a farbenmix pattern or are they off of youcanmakethis? Wonderful job!
!
I have the peasant top (did you flare out the bottom or anything?)..but dont have that skirt pattern, but its really really CUTE!!!! I might try to fiddle to get a look like that - I do have a few skirt patterns, maybe I can combo a few??? anyway its adorable - i'd love to see the other looks the pattern can make - i have a wish list on ycmt!! lol!!
all are adorable!!! Love the peasant top! Now I am trying to figure out how to make Carla's peasant top like that! Love the skirts and the fun pants! Did you make the brown top with the pants too? What pattern did you use?
OK, so I promised pics of the stuff I made this weekend.
Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this because I'm brand new to this forum. I am so in awe of everyone's talent! I've been lurking a lot over the last few days and keep coming across the cutest Mickey fabric. It's a lime green fabric with multi-colored Mickey head "swirls" on it. Does anyone know where I might find some of this fabric? I don't sew, but my mom does (a little), and I'd love to make something for my DD out of this fabric. Any help/advice is appreciated.

The outfits look great. I'm sure they will be thrilled.
Don't feel bad- I bought a BOLT of the red dot. I have fabric issues lol.

For us.... October... hands down. Low crowds. Nice weather. Dec and Jan are nice, but the weather can be unpredictable. We're wearing shorts one day and jeans and long sleeves the next.

Yes, you can -- with a receipt as long as you have not cut it or washed it. I don't know if there is a minimum amount you had to have bought either.
I get so jealous every time I read about walmart and fabric!
I will, soon, too!!! Mine is down to two puny aisles. It's so depressing, I know it will be gone shortly.
I'd be nice if Wal-Mart would at least publish a list of who still has it. Or sell it online.
Ok that makes up for it then. Jenna slept all night when she was just two weeks old. She scared me too.Ladies...I am so sorry about the potty training torture you went though. I really had it easy...I'll admit it. But if it makes you feel better, Aisling didn't sleep through the night AT ALL until she was 2 1/2!!! Not a SINGLE night. And DH works nights so he missed all the fun!
