Obssessedwiththemouse: I don't think I spelled obsessed right, but you know how you are! I love all your outfits. The Jasmine one is still my favorite!!
NOTE to self when you can't breathe as is, due to being sick REMEMBER to BREATHE while looking at Heathersue's Cinderella this is what my face looked like......wow that is a beautimus dress you should be holding your head up high what a great job.
Now i am not able to remember everything but i know there were quite a few adorable things posted great job! Everyone ,
I am feeling a lil better but now i have to clean up the aftermath of mom being sick
(Did a Tasmanian Devil fly through myHouse)
I feel so special that I caused you to stop breathing!
I just love it when I get sick and then have to clean up days worth of mess when I'm better. Is it REALLY that hard to put dishes in the dishwasher? I think not! Glad you're feeling better!
Wow! That is all I can say! We will be taking our very first family trip tp WDW in June. I started sewing DD first outfit and thought "hmmm...I wonder if I can find any really cool ideas online?" Silly me! You guys are great
!!!! I have spent the last week looking at everything
but now I must sew.
Warning: this thread is addictive!!! Make sure you share what you make with us!
We will also be going to Hawaii when we are on our trip and I saw some lovely Frangipani floral print yesterday (but didn't grab any as my hands were full of other bolts of fabric) so I'm going back today so I can make a couple of shirred dresses for over their swimwear
Oh and can someone give me measurements of a 4-5 year old - I can use my eldest DD for the 3yo stuff as that is how old my youngest will be when we go - but have no idea how big a 5 year old is
Yay!! Shirring is our friend!!! When something doesn't fit, I just shirr the back. One of the first things I made after finding this thread was a top quite similar to the one you just posted!
As for measurements, 4-5 year olds can be shaped so differently! Tessa is almost 5 and she is 44 1/4" tall and her measurements are chest-21", waist-19", hips- 22". From the base of her neck to the floor is 39.5" and from her waist to the floor is 25.5". I would have gave you measurements in cm, but my measuring tape only has inches!
Where are you going in Hawaii? We went to Kauai when I was pregnant with Tessa and it was truly heaven on earth!! We rented this house and it was SOOOO wonderful:

We also went to Honolulu, which I wasn't real crazy about.
If you want to read about our vacation, I have a rather long account (with little picthttp://www.geocities.com/heaths32/hawaii.htmlures) on my website:
SO, is the Euchre game played with spoons? Is that the game you're all talking about?
I can say with confidence that it's not played with spoons! Then again, maybe that's where we went wrong.
This is what we're doing today....can you guess...Yesterday was Lexie's 5th birthday. So today we're having her party..
Here is a video of her with her new singing balloon...
Sorry it's sideways...LOL

What an adorable video! That Lexie is such a cutie pie!! Tessa's 5th birthday is on March 19, so they're pretty close!
I watched your beach video too and it's gorgeous!!
Wow that is beautiful! I love it! She will get a lot of compliments wearing that dress at WDW! Take a picture of her near the wishing well!
BTW, where did you get the Tinkerbell doggie coat?
The wishing well picture is a great idea!
I bought Josie's jacket off of disneyshopping.com last year for $3!! I just made her another one out of flannel using that jacket as a pattern (minus the fur collar). It was really easy. I just have to add snaps or something to keep it on.
Euchre is a card game using half the deck (9's to Aces). Four people play in two teams.
Yeah, what she said...
Oh my gosh, he looks adorable!!! The jammies look great!
These are so pretty! I love how sparkly you made them!!!
Beautiful! I love her braids and the dress. She reminds me so much of my sister when she was little. Hey, when Megan was a flower girl she picked up all the flowers after she emptied her basket. She didn't want to leave a mess! She was way too young to be a flowergirl in my opinion (she just turned four) and I was so afraid she would ruin the wedding, but my sister really wanted her to be in it. My mom grabbed her and held her on her lap after she picked up all the flowers so it was fine.
Oh my gosh, it is beyond words! I love love love the birdie pulling at the ribbon. I cannot show this to Megan at all (even though she is doing the Megan) because she will demand one herself! That child really should be modeling: the camera loves her!
Tessa was a flowergirl when she was just 4, too. She kept throwing the flowers throughout the entire wedding- overhanded at times. It was pretty funny. The mother of the bride refused to let me sit in the front row (even though it was empty besides her and the bride wanted me to sit there), so there wasn't much I could do!
We are going to WDW in June, and I am going to try and make my dd a few customs. I am just wondering what do you do with the disney themed customs that you make for the kids after your trip? Do they wear them out and about, wear them to school, ....etc or are they just wear to Disney World or Disney Land clothes?
Tessa wears them all the time. Tessa has wore her AK outfit quite a bit to the local zoo. Her latest Cinderella dress will be saved for WDW, though.
That is so cute!!!!
Aww, that is such a sweet video!!!! I love these!! I have never seen a balloon like that! How Cool!!!!! Lexie is very close in age to Lydia and Dallas! Only a month younger. We hve a bunch of cute 5 year olds on here!
I don't really play cards, so I'm afraid I will be a hard one to teach! You know, my sister once single handedly (with her husband's help) brought down and ENTIRE Euchre tournament!!! Tragic really.
I'm afraid it may run in the family!
a-ha was one of my favorite bands back in the day. Take on me, take me on. Classic lyrics, don't you think? Morton, Pal and the other guy, I miss yah!
Aww, thanks for the compliments about Lyddy! When Corey was Heather's ringbearer, he took my flowers and walked up the aisle with them! We said he was the flower boy! He was sOOOOOOO cute!!! He was only 2 at the time, and he had the cutest little tux!!! He was such a little doll! We have a great picture of him inspecting the train on Hether's dress, it's like he's studying the design of it or something!
A-hem, I think you're forgetting a very important almost 5 year old!!
You know, those friends never invited us over on euchre night again.
I hear tell that the euchre tournament was never the same after the "night of the Kites".
Wasn't that A-ha guy so cute and tragic as he's banging against the walls- all squiggly drawn and handsome?
I LOVE that picture! I'm fixin' to post some video of my wedding on youtube for all to see.
