Have a fab trip and I can't wait to see all the cuties in there customs!I just posted this on the last thread. I guess we started the new one while I was typing. Here's a copy of the post.
welcome! I can't wait to see what you have made!Hi! My name is Kelly and I've been lurking on your thread for quite a while. My mom sewed when I was a little girl and I would dabble with the sewing machine, but nothing major. Your thread inspired me to make first day of school outfits for my kids this past year. I have an almost 7 y/o little boy and an almost 5 y/o little girl. They've never been to Disney World, but someday we'll get there. I'm a dispatcher at a police department and we dispatch police, fire, and ambulance. I've been reading your stuff for so long that I feel like I know you. Is it ok if I post the stuff I've made even though it's not Disney?
I thought Carla had one on YCMT?Teresa
do you have a tutorial on invisible zippers in the bookmarks?

WOWO what a great auntie you are!!! Have fun with the kids1okay, I didn't want to be up for this move - and I wasn't TRYING to make it onto the first page (yay me! ) but it's going to be a long night.
Sierra is "sharing" me at school tomorrow. I'm the sewing auntie - the fairygodmother - the one who just whips Clara Schumann out of my...head
So what does one wear when one is being shared at school?
More importantly, though, whatever possessed me to say at 7:30 this evening that I would make a crayon roll-up for each child in her class? That's 20 crayon roll-ups.
I got home at 8:00 from Girl Scouts, looked through fabric, began the project after that. I'm using the "hands around the world" fabric. I've NEVER made a crayon roll-up.
It's 11:45 in California. I have to be at Sierra's school at 8:20. Yay me.
Good luck at the dr. I hope everything is al right.I'm here!
Awww.. almost made page 1!!
I blame it on the smocking!
I have a Dr's appt in the morning and I am very nervous. I sooo should be sleeping.
You are such a good mommy April! Hunter looks like such a sweet boy you are doing a great job with him!Better late than never! I did make it and can't wait to see the Chapter 12 of the Disboutiqers. You all bring so much to the forum with your creativity and conversations. This is the best forum on the Dis.
Thank you Crystal for the post. I am touched and again crying. It is a very hard time and will be for a few months. I know we can get through and we must never give up. I think is all just part of having a SN child and doing what is the very best for the child.
NaeNae, have a wonderful trip, enjoy the magic and bring back a lot of pictures to share please.
I think Wendy asked about the fabric that is like my siggy. The puzzle pieces represent the puzzle that it is autism. There is no cure and they really don't know the cause. The symptom of each child can be so different from another. It is all a puzzle and we strive daily to put the pieces together.
Thanks friends for the cheer, I will keep going and I thank each of you for caring in this hard time.
Very cute! I love the beads it is VERY HM! Your dd is so cute! I love that she is a ham!!!!!Okay so I made page number 2!!
I wanted to post the pics of the top I made with the Hannah Montana fabric. The skirt is in these too. I just have to say that my daughter is a complete HAM and I need to get her on stage somewhere. She would LOVE it. I had to tell her I had enough pictures because she just kept posing!!!
I forgot to mention that the bodice came out a bit short. I used the pattern from one of the peasant dresses and added bell sleeves. She will just have to wear an undershirt. She didn't mind at all, she said she looks llike Jasmine!!
Oh, and just for the record, the flannel backed satin worked great. I can't wait to go and buy some of the purple tinkerbell. I don't think it ended up looking like pajamas at all. What do you think?

I have a Dr's appt in the morning and I am very nervous. I sooo should be sleeping.
I found you all. I am leaving today. Thank you so much for all the helpful advice and offers yesterday. You are a wonderful bunch of people. I am putting the issue behind me and I am going to have a wonderful vacation. I hope I see other people from the disboards there too.
I finished all of the customs. I think I'm finally packed. We leave for the WORLD in 3 hours. My DH is crazy, he wants to leave at 3AM. He wants to get through Dallas before rush hour. I understand but I'm tired. I don't do good on 2 hours sleep so I'm just staying up until we leave. Hopefully I'll be able to get some sleep in the car.
Here my completed list:
2 Daisy Vida's, 2 Minnie Vida's, 2 Mickey bowling shirts, 2 Mary Poppins Vida's, 1 "Let's go fly a kite" bowling shirt, 2 Pooh & 2 Tink Aline's with 2 pair coordinating pants, 2 Nemo Alines, 1 Nemo bowling shirt, 1 Mickey bowling shirt, Handy Manny raglan, AK raglan, appliqued a polo shirt & onsie, 1 pant with zebra ruffle, 1 Dumbo appliqued sweat jacket, 1 Minnie appliqued sweat jacket, 1 Princess (with 8 princesses) appliqued sweat jacket.
They are wearing customs from previous trips the rest of the time. The only thing I didn't get done was the stroller blanket that DD (GoofyG) wanted me to make.
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been swamped at work since I got back. My "challenging" kid is sapping all my energy. One of the assistant principals stays in my room for the first 45 minutes of class to help control him so I can actually teach the other kids something! (for all you other teachers, it's almost like having an evaluation every day--although I am doing nothing different as far as content, delivery, etc., it is still stressful to have her there--you never know what a 4 year old will say or do!) But it would be far more stressful without her!! I have the other 2 hours and 15 minutes without her--so no small groups during workstations because I have to monitor him so closely. Sometimes our para can come in and stay with him so I can work with the others--some of my kids are beginning to read & it is killing me that I can't give them the support they deserve! Others need help in the very basic areas and I can't give it to them either! I have another "normal" class after the first one leaves. I am worn out by the time I get home.
I was able to get my room problem at Movies resolved. (For those that weren't there, Movies had assigned a room on the third floor. I had first floor in my ressied that was supposedly approved by special services. They "downgraded" me from preferred to regular & put me on the third floor because of the cheerleaders and Argintine tour groups that "needed to be kept together." When I went back to the Movies after ESPN, I told them that it just wasn't acceptable to be where I needed to use stairs in case of a fire. I explained to them that I was not faking the need--that I wished I were--but I could not stay on the third (or second for that matter) floor. They miraculously found me a room on the first floor....still not close to the front, but at least I felt safe.
I also forgot my cell phone charger so I couldn't communicate with anyone after Sunday. On Monday, I went to the studios and rode toy story and then to magic kingdom, watched the new parade and rode haunted mansion. I went back to the room and mostly rested and read 3 books I had brought with me. Since my Kiddo had been suspended for the two days I wasn't at school, I knew he would probably be in rare form when I returned (and he was!) BTW--I have actually seen some small improvements in his behavior this week. We are actually making a tiny bit of progress! It is difficult, but I am not giving up on this child just because his parents won't admit he has challenges! He may have already been expelled from two public schools, but if I can help it, he won't be expelled from ours!

I think it turned out cute. Nice job. Your dd's a cutie.
Woo-hoo...I never get in on a thread this early!!!
Oh gosh, I can relate! Doctors make me SO nervous. I had a routine physical yesterday, and I was very very very worked up about it. My BP and pulse measured high in the office, so I ended up having to get all kinds of scary tests run . The doc suggested I get a home monitor, so I bought a nice one at Target. Since I've been home and relaxed, I'm measuring completely normal . High BP runs in my family, so at some point I probably will need meds, but I'm hoping all the tests will come out OK and I can delay a bit. I know for sure that I have a serious case of white coat syndrome!
Have FUN!I found you all. I am leaving today. Thank you so much for all the helpful advice and offers yesterday. You are a wonderful bunch of people. I am putting the issue behind me and I am going to have a wonderful vacation. I hope I see other people from the disboards there too.
Welcome to your new addiction and we would all be very happy to see what you are making. You will need to have 10 posts before the DIS will let you post a pic. You can do a countdown. No one will mind.Hi! My name is Kelly and I've been lurking on your thread for quite a while. My mom sewed when I was a little girl and I would dabble with the sewing machine, but nothing major.

Tell him to go to the top of the Stratosphere. It has an awesome view and if he isn't afraid he can ride the rides at the top.I was sound asleep last night and I heard all this noise...next time some of you need to wear light shoes when moving!
Little late...but I'm here! I'm not hanging around...I'm off to shower, then to WM to buy some fabric, then home to pack up. DH is off to Vegas this weekend and I am taking the kids to visit my parents for the weekend.
BTW...DH has about 3-4 hours to kill in Vegas before meetings start...does anybody have a suggestion of something non-drinking, non-gambling, non-stripper he can do. That's a hard one I know
Hi all! My name is Shannon. I have been following this thread for quite awhile now and have read all 11 threads. I LOVE what you guys have created! We are planning our first trip to WDW, along with a day in Sea World, and I am planning on making an outfit for each of my children for each day. There are four of them - and I haven't sewn any clothing up to this point since over five years ago. But what can I say - I'm a dreamer Hope you guys don't mind an inexperienced sewer joining... or one that hasn't been to Disney since I was a year or two old
Oh - and Heather - I have FINALLY posted
