Update on my WDW trip saga: It seems to go on and on! So DH and I decided that we were still going to go on our trip even though his company cancelled their sales meeting their (and the whole reason for going in the first place!). Of course that all changed yet again today! On his conference call today is boss decided since the big sales meeting was cancelled to go ahead and schedule a three day meeting that same week so it looks like our trip is cancelled yet again. We still havent' cancelled the tickets or hotel yet because my DH thinks it still might get changed since some of the people his boss will want there might have conflicts so we are holding but it's not looking good. I know we don't necessarily need to spend the money right now (due to upcoming home renovations) but I think it will probably be our last chance for a real vacation for about 18 months. I also hate it that last week (before the meeting got cancelled but after we booked everything) that we told our girls and they are so excited! They loved our trip there last year and were so happy to be going back and like every parent I hate disappointing them. Who knows...........I guess whatever is meant to be is how it will turn out. In the mean time I'm still hoping but facing reality that it doesn't look like it's going to turn out.

Sorry for the totally OT rant but I just needed to share with others who understand the obsession with WDW!

Oh NO!! How can they keep doing this to you guys????? I hope everything works out for you! I will be so disapointed for you if you don't get to go at all!

Hi,

I'm new to all these disney forums but I'm so glad to be able to join up as we are going to Disneyland next year for the first time ever It will also be our first holiday as a family.

We are from New Zealand and we will be travelling with my sister, my DH, our 2 girls (who will be almost 3 and almost 5 at the time) my friend and her mum (who are both disneyland veterans).

I'm just so excited and can't wait to start sewing and knitting stuff for the trip. I've been browsing through (not sure if I'll ever get through all the pages ) but I must say I all your gals creations.

It is really hard to find decent disney fabric in New Zealand so I'm hoping I can make do with themed colours (if anyone knows of a good fabric shop that sell disney fabric that ships internationally I'd be greatful )

I did make a hooded bathrobe for my DD with mickey and minnie embroidered on the back (thanks to my friends fancy embroidery machine) so that is the start of the obsession

Anyway that was a long intro (whoops).

Look forward to sharing some creations.

Good Night-
You always have the best smileys teresa!!!

Thanks - I have looked at ebay but some sellers charge horrendous amounts to ship overseas. I'll keep looking I might find some good ones .

I was given an Ottobre Design magazine from a friend and now I'm so keen to use the patterns (and maybe get a subscription out of DH). Does anyone else use these patterns or do you all just wing it??

This is the fabric I used for the appliques- dd is only 18 months and the pillowcases princesses are to big for her but I really wanted to do a princess jumper so I found this. It was at walmart.

That was a very GOOD idea! Those are the perfect size for the little ones.

WOW, you ladies stay up way too late for me. I was up until after 11:00 last night. I get up this morning and there are 2 more pages to read through! Don't you ever sleep?

Here are the beaded tiaras- The kids are in bed so my doggie volunteered to model for me

The black one is for my ds. My Dh just rolled his eyes- He did let him wear it out to breakfast yesterday though.

Your doggie baby is so cute and good job on the tiaras. They look cute I think I might tackle one with DD.

I'm thinking of making some of the princess hair clips, but making them as lapel pins that way I can wear them too.

That's a good idea.

I am proud of myself-in my quest to use the fabric I have before I buy more......

Here is what I whipped up this evening (My model is sleeping)

In real life the blue in the tee and the blue in the skirt match

That is PERFECT! Love it!

The pup really made me chuckle! Very cute tiaras!

WELCOME! Glad you've joined in. In case someone hasn't posted it, I just thought I'd let you know that all the pics from this thread can be found by going to the very first post of the thread, towards the bottom, there are two links that are posted in bold. One is for the photobucket account that has all of the pictures of everything that has been posted on this thread. Great place for inspiration! The second link is full of links for different tutorials on how to make great things. Take a look around - it's a great place to find great things to make.

Thanks - I have looked at ebay but some sellers charge horrendous amounts to ship overseas. I'll keep looking I might find some good ones .

I think some have used the ottobre patterns. I've been meaning to try them for some time. Mostly, I use patterns I find at the store and just make them in Disney colors, or add a Disney accent. I also use patterns/instructions from the tutorials here, as well as many of the patterns/instructions that I have purchased at www.youcanmakethis.com

She's right. Youcanmakethisdotcom is really great. I also love Farbenmix patterns. They are just so unique and you get all those sizes in one pattern. And I never wing it. I am not that smart!!!

We leave tomorrow! The day before we leave on any trip is so stressful for me, it might actually be worse than the day we leave WDW to go home. I hate packing and I hate packing with the thought that I might forget something important. I have lists but I always worry about what I might forget.

Plus I have to run all those last minute errands. In addition, today I am going to tour a preschool for DD to attend in the fall. This stresses me all out on a whole other level.

Welcome!!!!!

I sometimes use patterns, but I also do "wing it". (Blue princess skirt I posted earlier was a "wing it" )

I LOVE this! It is just tooo cute!

These are cute and I love the "model"

Great idea! I think I will try this!

Good Night-
You always have the best smileys teresa!!!

I love that site for Smileys! Tom posted with them around Christmastime, and I had to go check it out!

Thanks - I have looked at ebay but some sellers charge horrendous amounts to ship overseas. I'll keep looking I might find some good ones .

I was given an Ottobre Design magazine from a friend and now I'm so keen to use the patterns (and maybe get a subscription out of DH). Does anyone else use these patterns or do you all just wing it??

I've never tried an Ottobre pattern. I'm pretty sure LisaZoe has used those though. I wing it sometimes, like with the Giselle and Lydia's purple princess toille outfit. I'm finding that easier to do the more I look at the tutorials. But, patterns are always good!

WOW, you ladies stay up way too late for me. I was up until after 11:00 last night. I get up this morning and there are 2 more pages to read through! Don't you ever sleep?

Sleep? What is this you speak of?

Your doggie baby is so cute and good job on the tiaras. They look cute I think I might tackle one with DD.

Oh, you need to try some, they are really easy! After the first one I did, they went together really fast!

We leave tomorrow! The day before we leave on any trip is so stressful for me, it might actually be worse than the day we leave WDW to go home. I hate packing and I hate packing with the thought that I might forget something important. I have lists but I always worry about what I might forget.

I hear you on the day before stress!!! I HATE that!!! Once we get going I'm fine, but the day we leave or the day before, I'm a wreak!!! I always try to remind myself that there is hardly anything I could forget that I can't buy once I get there. That helps to keep me semi calm!
