Now I just need to embroider the faces. If I were to do it all over again- these are the things I would do differently: <br />

So I think next time- I won't do any hair that goes behind the face, only OVER the face. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsalgHNIg3vxQNTU9Dyx7VtY81llA4qnikFpa_G9JVYcXwADB9EvRSKkbapEAsAOOFZm53wTWUzDKLBomdoCj6mjkWChvafTxLUpCXqMU9H5u9pyufzY_ojRrUfM2iGtW7YhSpAfjS-H0v/s1600/fianl+dolls+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsalgHNIg3vxQNTU9Dyx7VtY81llA4qnikFpa_G9JVYcXwADB9EvRSKkbapEAsAOOFZm53wTWUzDKLBomdoCj6mjkWChvafTxLUpCXqMU9H5u9pyufzY_ojRrUfM2iGtW7YhSpAfjS-H0v/s320/fianl+dolls+008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>This one- I think it would have looked better to place the hair behind the dress- because the dress shows through the hair piece. That bothers me. <br />
<br />
But I'd say all in all, I am quite pleased. I have mixed emotions about the dresses. I just used scraps from my fabric pile, rather than going out and buying specific fabrics. Some of the outfits I love, but others I more so did just because that's what I had. I go back and forth with this idea. I like the idea of using up what i have, but is it really worth it, if you're not going to be in love with your creation in the end? And dont' get me wrong- I still love it, you get what I mean. <br />
<br />
The other thing I wish I would have done was the skin color a little darker. I already wanted the skin color darker to begin with, but I couldn't find a peach color. There was only pink, off white or white. The store said they wouldnt' get peach in until the spring- can you believe that? But I checked everywhere. I didn't want to wait that long so I went ahead with the off-white. It's fine, but the arms want to disappear when you are far away. Up close you see the arms though. <br />
<br />
Now I have to decide how I want to assemble the quilt, what fabrics I want to use, etc. <br />
<br />
AND I have to decide if I'm going to sew around the applique. You are not supposed to sew on Ultra Hold HeatnBond, but I've heard that if you sew slowly you can do it. I'll keep you posted! <br />
<br />
Overall I am very happy and excited about this project!AMY AND MIKEYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14506098535542997582noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736599232007654293.post-33847874435561495522011-01-23T01:03:00.000-08:002011-01-23T01:03:41.303-08:00Part 3: Doll Dresses!<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Now we are going to make the dresses! Just like I did with the bodies and hair, I first cut on paper to see what i wanted for a dress. I decided I liked the first dress offered on the <em>Paper Doll Dress Up</em> cartridge the best. Also, after cutting it out the dress I discovered that the size 8, (the size of my paper doll body) was a little bigger than I wanted for my body. So I tried 7 3/4 and 7 1/2 and I decided I liked the 7 1/2 the best. It makes the dress a tiny bit shorter and a little bit smaller around the waste. I figured it any of my doll waist pokes out on the side I can trim the waist! (wouldn't that be nice to do in real life?) I did the black out feature so that there wouldn't be any unnecessary detailed lines on the surface of the fabric. After cutting it out on paper I measured a surface of 6x5 inches for the dress. So I cut out 6x5 pieces, and ironed on the HeatnBond just like I did with the other pieces.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRLyQJQsTYOH0VNo6jctdJADyOLiT75-6CBAWnF1Cej_UdVo_wNZwQenugQi9dWL9wDzwMQzBsiIk3ZHtYWiPGKwp_RO-8npyaQ_hYE4E7tEwrbr5jXESCdODrOTqq7c84SxNqULQ4YbGQ/s1600/doll+dresses+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRLyQJQsTYOH0VNo6jctdJADyOLiT75-6CBAWnF1Cej_UdVo_wNZwQenugQi9dWL9wDzwMQzBsiIk3ZHtYWiPGKwp_RO-8npyaQ_hYE4E7tEwrbr5jXESCdODrOTqq7c84SxNqULQ4YbGQ/s320/doll+dresses+001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> However, when I cut them out with the cricut, I discovered that my pieces were still too small.<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> I should have done 6x6 pieces. My dress cut very close to the edge (which isn't a problem with paper), but with fabric, it sometimes cut off the bottom of the dress entirely, or gave me torn edges (since the fibers in the fabric can stretch, paper can't stretch!) Here is an example of a dress that was torn at the bottom, so i had to cut with my own sizzors the bottom to make it clean and smooth. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7WhoG3-dXrnS8HKJJbAmBjmjYzMQnPkUf_ERB3YIwoWAKdXHqy1zxRR9_k7qu8HsjndEM9n9Ds1dv5KJDN5NkvQvV-btbdVnS97i7Dj0hK_RvLT-k63aKPlpFiTpVyTRTgaSIYmixVtZS/s1600/doll+dresses+007.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7WhoG3-dXrnS8HKJJbAmBjmjYzMQnPkUf_ERB3YIwoWAKdXHqy1zxRR9_k7qu8HsjndEM9n9Ds1dv5KJDN5NkvQvV-btbdVnS97i7Dj0hK_RvLT-k63aKPlpFiTpVyTRTgaSIYmixVtZS/s320/doll+dresses+007.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">SO- for your project cut 6x6 pieces of fabric. I have found that even if the fabric is big enough for the object being cut, you want atleast a 1/2 inch extra on all edges because there needs to be a fair amount of fabric sticking to the mat so that it won't pull away from the mat. The cutting action wants to pull the fabric off the mat, and if there's not enough fabric holding it down, it will easily come up. So I would suggest to have atleast a half inch extra on all edges. For this project a 6x6 inch square will be plenty. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrmi7TvNRUm_3oqyNACdYs6HzHEEfxCBIIK1R69M4TeW1G3m-sd8Ad_avtI6twLarRy3YcUQB0rbOwqc8Sfo2KA232fZX0E-vRZN2t3KbxTcEJHAPrhTct29nMz8OV5RcxJpaIANlB_Lr/s1600/doll+dresses+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwrmi7TvNRUm_3oqyNACdYs6HzHEEfxCBIIK1R69M4TeW1G3m-sd8Ad_avtI6twLarRy3YcUQB0rbOwqc8Sfo2KA232fZX0E-vRZN2t3KbxTcEJHAPrhTct29nMz8OV5RcxJpaIANlB_Lr/s320/doll+dresses+006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The only reason you wouldn't want to iron them down now is if you wanted to add shoes. I am still debating shoes, so I haven't ironed mien down.

I chose 4 different colors: Dark brown, light brown, yellow and red.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCN_Ww_k7OZKE_pXgjnoNKAAdo6dryQ_tuO3o83WcTLAD0ABgk3LzpF9ljQANHU4YVDQWCwOeUav1YmyJNfSW9LHDYqHHauO334RoMqjGFqjvYwQ9-3_q8Id8GqqgTBQSTSH0ZyuI1jU7K/s1600/dolls+part+2+009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCN_Ww_k7OZKE_pXgjnoNKAAdo6dryQ_tuO3o83WcTLAD0ABgk3LzpF9ljQANHU4YVDQWCwOeUav1YmyJNfSW9LHDYqHHauO334RoMqjGFqjvYwQ9-3_q8Id8GqqgTBQSTSH0ZyuI1jU7K/s320/dolls+part+2+009.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> First I cut out my different hair styles with PAPER to see (like I did with the bodies) how much fabric I would need. I figured out each one ranged between 4-5 inches tall, so I cut out strips 5 inches wide. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinLLVbcYBmB6908LYhV44W61BABUfKZNEQog9W2QAy7QFj31D879lwHosYD1zp0HgQnXCnCTOhGgs_7VqXZCCD72k0ITDcoyDOUUpNZYthgeR7sMnquvymJBUIa77yS3AfZOGGnzyFv1AL/s1600/dolls+part+2+010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinLLVbcYBmB6908LYhV44W61BABUfKZNEQog9W2QAy7QFj31D879lwHosYD1zp0HgQnXCnCTOhGgs_7VqXZCCD72k0ITDcoyDOUUpNZYthgeR7sMnquvymJBUIa77yS3AfZOGGnzyFv1AL/s320/dolls+part+2+010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> For my project I only need 2 of each color (8 total) so I cut each strip about 12 inches long. I did this to be safe, but after I cut them out I had 1-3 inches left over on each strip. SO if you don't want to waste fabric, then measure exactly how much fabric the hair will use. Otherwise 11 inches will be good enough.<br />

<br />
Before you do anything, decide what size you want your dolls to be. I wanted mine to be as big as they could but still produce a good quantity. I discovered that on 24x12 mat, I could fit 4 dolls. First I cut 2 out on paper to see how far away they cut from each other and to see how far away the image started from the edge of the mat. <br />

After doing this, I figured out I could fit 4 dolls that were 8 inches tall on the 24x12 mat on a piece of fabric that was 24 x 8 1/2 inches. If you don't have a 24x12 mat, you can do 2 on a 12x12 mat. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh71Uu5cixJD7Wrc_FsT9qHuZm0tlZZ4PYL58HoTx9ZHOIRNoICNK6aRLbiVfI_JKf_nYUBa-fOttsV3SGIrZHrHjQjy9Cs-rtVWDZYq2ysAlNl2-OzaN4WO_purjJx9tgAApEdQeyBa1Dq/s1600/paper+dolls+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" n4="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh71Uu5cixJD7Wrc_FsT9qHuZm0tlZZ4PYL58HoTx9ZHOIRNoICNK6aRLbiVfI_JKf_nYUBa-fOttsV3SGIrZHrHjQjy9Cs-rtVWDZYq2ysAlNl2-OzaN4WO_purjJx9tgAApEdQeyBa1Dq/s320/paper+dolls+011.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> I took my skin colored fabric, ironed it, and then ironed on the HeatnBond ULTRA HOLD.

Blade: 4<br />
Speed: low/ minimum<br />
Pressure: max<br />
size: 8 inches<br />
(if you have an expression- quantity 4)<br />
<br />
I also used the blackout feature so that the eyes and mouth wouldn't be cut out as I plan on embroidering them on. <br />

So she sent it to me in the mail. SO cute. Anyway- so I thought I would write her back, since she was thoughtful enough to "write" me. So I made her a cricut card of me and her, (not posted, didn't take a pic) of realistic outfits we really would wear, along with hair, holding hands. WELL, turned out she loved it, and so she immediately "wrote" me again, so I would send her another card. When Tanner saw the card....:) haha- ofcourse he was inspired to write me a card in hopes that he would also get one in return, apparently the cards were out in the mail within 2 hours of getting my card. haha. So I got them this last weekend, and I made them these cards- I loved making them, and I have a feeling I will be getting another card from them shortly :) Rebecca, if you're reading this- I will do this for your girls too if they write me. </div><div> </div><div>A funny note, I talked to kate on the phone and she said "all the clothes are ripped off", and I'm like- why? and she said- "I don't know". So I get on the phone with Lizzie, and she said Tanner and his friend ripped off all the clothes, hair, and asserories, and I think they might have ripped off the arms too, not sure about that though-when Kate wasn't around. It made Kate sad ofcourse, but it still made me laugh imagiing them thinking it woudl be so funny to take it all apart. Anyway- I'm thinking about bringing the cricut to the family reunion. </div>AMY AND MIKEYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14506098535542997582noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736599232007654293.post-1026473583686476232010-09-23T22:35:00.000-07:002010-09-23T22:50:18.596-07:00practice dressOk, I REALLY wanted to write- "look at the dress I made" but- I'm too prideful to let anyone think I might truly wear this in public. One of my friends said she glanced at my blog the other day an thought I was serious about my silly hair due because she hadn't read the actual blog. But wouldn't have that been really funny?<br /><br />Ok, so- this is a dress I want to make out of a different fabric. My mom did this with all our prom dresses, made a practice one to adjust everything, then cut into the real deal. I didn't want to mess up on this dress, so I decided to do a practice dress. It really cracks me up how the baskets of flowers ended up being perfectly centered without me meaning to do that. Even the collar part of the dress matches with the basket of flowers on the main dress- haha. And please ignore my lovely hair due in this pic. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7l4jnSKBVUVj9iN7tl4AVe2C20AT9LAEZCd3rHtn4nOAA7f55IqEkOBkkTWIZU8sjX0X815gDiE23b3zZIYhNYZCzXYpArp3jVacnH0O6q5BfvO6ygm4y8-aDSyxVHp5C0eabS1YQ-v-r/s1600/practice+dress+002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520349968364578082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7l4jnSKBVUVj9iN7tl4AVe2C20AT9LAEZCd3rHtn4nOAA7f55IqEkOBkkTWIZU8sjX0X815gDiE23b3zZIYhNYZCzXYpArp3jVacnH0O6q5BfvO6ygm4y8-aDSyxVHp5C0eabS1YQ-v-r/s400/practice+dress+002.JPG" /></a> That back zipper part needs to be tucked in- I didn't hem anything.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM6-PD73kTqirALXAaGudNte9bnmCgCWrjQAfq3BZA3TR8r8wkm4_zlgmqQJ5cRflHKTOFfD7VKkt38Ws2tSBWYMhYeAqi7mIvibtcO4RI_KEcBQ1TfqXcXVvzPMAU9PjklRdT7eEtOwWX/s1600/practice+dress+003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5520349963100369346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM6-PD73kTqirALXAaGudNte9bnmCgCWrjQAfq3BZA3TR8r8wkm4_zlgmqQJ5cRflHKTOFfD7VKkt38Ws2tSBWYMhYeAqi7mIvibtcO4RI_KEcBQ1TfqXcXVvzPMAU9PjklRdT7eEtOwWX/s400/practice+dress+003.JPG" /></a> Ok- I'm not trying to show off my boobs, BUT because this fabric is so busy, it's hard to tell that the collar is SOOOOOOOo awesome!

And then I'm going to spray paint shoes to match in the same color. I HOPE the real deal turns out as good. I have to line the real deal, and I am soooooo not a pro at that. I'm so tempted to just turn over all the seams and not do lining, but then it will look ..... homemade. So I must have patience and endure the lining. I'm really excited about this pattern. The only thing though- is if I want it fitted I should probably have a LITTLE stretch to the fabric, and mine only has the tiniest stretch, sooooooo we'll see. </div></div></div>AMY AND MIKEYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14506098535542997582noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736599232007654293.post-87186302571669018642010-09-21T17:09:00.000-07:002010-09-21T18:20:14.439-07:00made a shirt!<div align="center">So, from piperline (sister company of banana republic, gap etc) are these new shirts, that are the baggier look, with bigger armpits.

It took me 3 hours, that included cutting out the pattern pieces, cutting out the fabric and sewing the shirt. SO- that means now that I KNOW how to make it, and have the pattern cut out- I'll be able to make it in probably an hour. It has 3 different top options. There's the flower, or plan, or a flouncy top, where it's hanging. It's a baggier style of a shirt- it's supposed to be baggy- does it look like it's supposed to be that way? Or does it look like I'm wearing a shirt that's too big? It's perfect for leggings. And it's comfortable. I want to learn how to make one that is more fitted in the armpits- but I haven't found a pattern yet. The thing that's nice about this pattern is the neck band is unfinished, it's kind of flouncy too, so it doesn't have to be PERFECT. I would like to try a finished band though and see how that turns out. Mike comes home- I'm all excited, I pose for him, and he gets this big smile/surprised look, "wow". "Do you like it?" He stares at the flower, points to it "what is this?" "a flower!" "oh. Why?" "BECAUSE THAT'S IN STYLE RIGHT NOW!" "Oh. Well, was it nice to sew?" "yeah it was". "That's good, I'm glad you could do that". Oh Mikey, he will get used to it though- he's already getting used to the headbands. </div></div></div></div></div><p>I want to find some striped fabric, and try some different neck lines, and pocket possibilities.

Lizzie made headbands for her baby, so I learned how to do the flower from her, (but I ended up doing them a little different) and Danielle thought of making headbands for us, like the ones you see in the stores. SO- I went to Claire's, purchased 6 different styles, and bought plush suede fabric from Joann's, a pack of feathers for 1.99, and a pack of headbands from walmart for 2.45, and I made these awesome headbands that I love! (and then returned the claire's headbands) <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516650068095569938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA6wXZ-2ba-Y_RDlPJjy9YyFiMK0l3BauKUrRDKrbALFAPOuFXZwtgBWyamyp6r16YXoHmVOQcUXSzp19uJlccOKL5OiZmZGg6R3JvPlxSqG9QDQpkqnUfhJJFvy2lhKY-B94hVR8QwvDZ/s400/hair+floewrs+012.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516650059848172402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbsWEQuuo3jUaVlYY5km-ev9RntBV2V99nQ2MTCNP9wiCyDSrlTnPqWOpT6BvD7NJ8KfvgQHuF6GphuEHYLNMGaFKU72vGnfvYA_nY-ECERpc7FscBZPYUcQQ76Bv96Ndv_x0MIqcP93y3/s400/hair+floewrs+009.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516650050482708786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxZlFNCqtxkhHm2ArLw0UJnq-X2N1YApCsdH24LB8Bich78tIjgwLlTr1N-IuG4ZntJ81umZ51hvW8xk9MAFPVR56KYkuWOIz9_X09WRM85ktsDEElCccdlTLL_P4iTrxQhmApnS_CZp9r/s400/hair+floewrs+007.JPG" /> I wore this to church- I got so many compliments on my hair and the flower. It made me feel so good, because I can't do alot with my hair, and it's getting longer, and curlier! But not long enough to put it back or clip it back, so- it's so nice to have something to jazz up my hair. I LOVE IT! So many young women complimented it and asked to learn how to make it. I want to teach them how for mutual some time. k- sorry this is really braggy, but I'm really excited.<br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWFaTd6lTcINrnhyphenhyphenXPXwq1cAzwsInZeKSsQIAa20TKVu58J-n-dlCX4uhueuv_w1zoMOz4KmYLr9ixsXyrm1_Dku8M47gT3RegrxMb9hCnwEYN-raJ7JelPAnIkpgLlrbdw0ppjhJ2aWPS/s1600/hair+floewrs+019.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516649236105315202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWFaTd6lTcINrnhyphenhyphenXPXwq1cAzwsInZeKSsQIAa20TKVu58J-n-dlCX4uhueuv_w1zoMOz4KmYLr9ixsXyrm1_Dku8M47gT3RegrxMb9hCnwEYN-raJ7JelPAnIkpgLlrbdw0ppjhJ2aWPS/s400/hair+floewrs+019.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvIbStLsFfyJ1uAPGlJnFY2Vry2pVB3x9Ml9MTPXwrN_PLR81ZKz26Z6L2hhJFxGvzEUMMHIXT37QWMqOUNI4MnZNALnWuUM7Fxm7fROIvQbeprZAa4VJQgtSagHnmeYYwSdOowpjZH6py/s1600/hair+floewrs+018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516649225567022498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvIbStLsFfyJ1uAPGlJnFY2Vry2pVB3x9Ml9MTPXwrN_PLR81ZKz26Z6L2hhJFxGvzEUMMHIXT37QWMqOUNI4MnZNALnWuUM7Fxm7fROIvQbeprZAa4VJQgtSagHnmeYYwSdOowpjZH6py/s400/hair+floewrs+018.JPG" /></a><br /><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516650083059582546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCed5DqvWESezmKJSR-fIgJiUofY7Zhuy-1fNIapt3rm_JiKOQY7cfRi4qgvMBL51ddAmJ3HLrzwPBY7CQUslR_q3UnuSgl-fO8kq7iqneIghTBJl__6eLwiRIYrxfD7YsB2WV6LeuAoRD/s400/hair+floewrs+004.JPG" /> The green one- I love this one.

It was great! I just washed the furniture before I painted it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRby9H_BfUAhUFSRph6gtfwtX7TNZPJXaNeg4YRcGs6cj1-8qBz2JghQvvhlsHEIXCEQjdFF_Z65XY97kRAKAYxwzqaYoOFM9-Qi0L5Pi1__RtTygqFs3JhtmousaAgBAj9HdKvBu-_PY/s1600/table+008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481666693242085026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoRby9H_BfUAhUFSRph6gtfwtX7TNZPJXaNeg4YRcGs6cj1-8qBz2JghQvvhlsHEIXCEQjdFF_Z65XY97kRAKAYxwzqaYoOFM9-Qi0L5Pi1__RtTygqFs3JhtmousaAgBAj9HdKvBu-_PY/s400/table+008.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvhhRkab5rbScKURUzMdUXudF5ovmQu1OVurL_mdXGnCSOgsrbAcw6qD6zM4_qVOqA5WmNsheB_OpOMftawSai_LGl7nREtuVdXJRZUAXU67mmrhKkFCwcN-eEqB62C8L9lSkwmO6Hzsqq/s1600/table+005.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481666685212143842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvhhRkab5rbScKURUzMdUXudF5ovmQu1OVurL_mdXGnCSOgsrbAcw6qD6zM4_qVOqA5WmNsheB_OpOMftawSai_LGl7nREtuVdXJRZUAXU67mmrhKkFCwcN-eEqB62C8L9lSkwmO6Hzsqq/s400/table+005.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgp8WQG-APtqHKnySsBqTnoHuYmi7vKc0kZpwMhhVLcuCy2j7c_KygVsFSvHGNc1vsYFYuVzJH1ndJxJ1erLMmDVKGmOtZ5nRoJhRbXNko_rMXE3o2V-q2Fl5rwqb0rjfENCnuW3p7C3s/s1600/table+006.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481666677933810514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgp8WQG-APtqHKnySsBqTnoHuYmi7vKc0kZpwMhhVLcuCy2j7c_KygVsFSvHGNc1vsYFYuVzJH1ndJxJ1erLMmDVKGmOtZ5nRoJhRbXNko_rMXE3o2V-q2Fl5rwqb0rjfENCnuW3p7C3s/s400/table+006.JPG" /></a><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481666656989660898" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfaCgFA6KULfbsm9LXZJje3EystadQaztYZgVDfThx84aUaBqX1wamDNLhV4i77bk3yfx-TvNH2C6IB5o04_pvH6r5Y5vhieUWeeIsZKvgNyofm5IS5t2nkJD9H_zbwTsvYqTccXDRFpGl/s400/table+003.JPG" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkOflezFCEvK94uuRjQZGdcUHDhGRkxgxFrdA0854IHDeVE2kNn5avHU54vlLhzcG3GTK77KxZ63OJz3l56_OKeHhib9k_xcBNKqY0bnrmzh6zBgRObyhCvcDUCT3jc1j58RKkPxVlSHx/s1600/table+007.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5481666669688625634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHkOflezFCEvK94uuRjQZGdcUHDhGRkxgxFrdA0854IHDeVE2kNn5avHU54vlLhzcG3GTK77KxZ63OJz3l56_OKeHhib9k_xcBNKqY0bnrmzh6zBgRObyhCvcDUCT3jc1j58RKkPxVlSHx/s400/table+007.JPG" /></a> Don't you LOVE the mirror?!!!!!! I just don't know what colors to do yet. I will either do the green that is my hutch, the blue that is on my frames, or introduce red! I have red flowers in my pillows, and I thought if I did red, it would make them pop. Mike is weary of the red, but he's weary of everything I do before I do it, and then he likes it in the end.<br /><br />I'm also debating how I want to use them, the mirror over the table? (not ontop, just above it) so they go together- or- mirror by itself and table in between my blue chairs......<br /><br />I've been needing a mirror, Nate and Brooke's cat accidentally broke our mirror, knocked it over. It was kind of funny, there were paw prints all over the area, just like Cinderella when the cat leaves his prints all over the floor- ok but the broken mirror part was really sad- because Mike and I made that mirror together....... :( So- Brooke bought us a beautiful mirror, a really nice one. But it wouldn't fit in this apartment, because there's a heater switch where we would put the mirror...... the mirror was REALLY BIG. SO- with my returning talent capabilities, I returned it, without a receipt- which is a shame, because like I said, it was a really nice mirror. And I have been on the search for a new mirror ever since. couldn't find one. Then to my lovely surprise, there was a garage sale on our street, with this beauty.<br /><br />"How much?"<br /><br />10.<br /><br />Hmmmmm.... I look around for other things that I want- I saw a GREAT cookie sheet, GREAT condition! And I said- I'll get it if you throw this in too.<br /><br />ok.<br /><br />COOL!<br /><br />Then I saw this table- how much?<br /><br />5.<br /><br />ok.<br /><br />The great thing is I could use the left over money from returning the mirror to buy supplies, guilt free. And all that supplies adds up quickly. The glaze alone was 15! yowsa! Plus primer, plastic sheet, etc. The good thing is- I can reuse all this stuff for other projects, the glaze will last me for many projects to come, same with primer, and the nicer brush I bought. It all worked out really perfectly.<br /><br />ONE thing I did differently this time around- instead of using painters plastic, I got some vinyl from walmart for 99 cents a yard, and layed that down. It was cheaper, and heavier, and way more sturdy, stayed in place, didn't move when I walked on it. So I could lay it on my carpet without worrying about paint seeping through or ripping. I though it was pretty clever!<br /><br />So- any opinions on colors? or where I should put them- I guess I probably should have put a picture of my room up....... right now it's covered in sheets..... maybe later I will take a pic to give you an idea.AMY AND MIKEYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14506098535542997582noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736599232007654293.post-54165433230441554122010-04-24T00:16:00.000-07:002010-04-24T00:20:08.589-07:002 more dresses for Kate<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIFFejP3YZk7HNpgYEG43ffiATNjKITA-scCQjGC6Db2oergBYj8kXiyHVn8gnWWWYpwphGQG65tF9Y0xPD5n9LwmUY9Ph_yf8ev3ECA_qDaY9xrIpnmPYRJEBvspdha_C6FKdld2w5F1O/s1600/kates+dresses+2+001.JPG"><img style="display: block;

For your info- I did the scrunchy part! I didn't buy the fabric that way- that is what shirring is. Uhhhhhh. OK- the actual shirring part isn't hard- the part that is hard is determining how much the fabric is going to shrink, therefore determining how much fabric to use in the first place. Mine didn't turn out the same size as Lizzie's- I started with 42 inches- and after shirring it went to 22 inches. SO- I decided to use less fabric, I then started with 38, and then after shirring it, it was still 22 inches!!!!!!!!!!! AHhhhhhhhh. I messed with everything, tension, bobbin, stitch length, everything- Lizzie said she did the same thing- only she tried doing 36 inches- and hers still ended up being the same size as when she started out with 42! SO- the shirring part isn't hard- it's just exhausting and frustrating figuring out how to get it to the size you want. So hopefully this fits Kate! Or I'll be really sad. And this was all with fabric I had laying around!

I still need to do the back pillow for the other chair and accent pillow, but then I'll be done. The back pillow isn't as puffy and full as I would like it to be, so eventually I will buy some batting and just wrap it around the form, to give it more puff. Anyway- I love it- and I'm so glad I changed it. Now- I need to decide how I want to do my couch pillows, I have enough fabric to re-do my couch pillows- but...another day. It's been nice to have something to occupy my time. I wish I could take a pic with my other couches and make it look nice, but there isn't enough room down here in this basement- so- this is the best I can do. I've had alot of people ask me how to do piping, and I took the pics along the way and was going to do a tutorial- but it would be alot of work to post all the pics, and explain- so just youtube how to do it- I'm sure there are a million videos on how to do piping, and just trust me- it's not hard. It's one of those things you'll say "oh my gosh- I can't believe I was so afraid to do this!"AMY AND MIKEYhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14506098535542997582noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736599232007654293.post-71836763045970141442010-03-25T16:19:00.000-07:002010-03-25T16:25:15.543-07:00Chair so far:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6GsrplFsN8dd-Xe7GuRMJvegB1gAiCHU_aggOxAhCPZd6IkTY9VSPMY2kr-Xd4NPannCyuG4DmTm-HF7oHI5EOgvEtqpYqiqNXtRRMELMMMmMKzgEk3eC8_2OV0FRzUlf3pxNFguS5MH/s1600/chair2+010.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg6GsrplFsN8dd-Xe7GuRMJvegB1gAiCHU_aggOxAhCPZd6IkTY9VSPMY2kr-Xd4NPannCyuG4DmTm-HF7oHI5EOgvEtqpYqiqNXtRRMELMMMmMKzgEk3eC8_2OV0FRzUlf3pxNFguS5MH/s400/chair2+010.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452715672730414834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmudZScxKBlsw3P3_vIBjeUMfDQZrnc3_1x1qNzor6NfK0PVP-KQUWOlYIeGuhKWIUHVTLJFBavJX9VEGLwGSphDeKw5paRgob9Hlg-_t6yTl-EweY4fs23nVUKvlCFjM9MMtoj2JWNFxH/s1600/chair2+011.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmudZScxKBlsw3P3_vIBjeUMfDQZrnc3_1x1qNzor6NfK0PVP-KQUWOlYIeGuhKWIUHVTLJFBavJX9VEGLwGSphDeKw5paRgob9Hlg-_t6yTl-EweY4fs23nVUKvlCFjM9MMtoj2JWNFxH/s400/chair2+011.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452715662544356066" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnnqgROYEVzNDnyHT-O7lz8ew98ChwWhqCXsLUiUDh-8WXKCGdlnB5fg8rq7EaMbChforJ0bQntXUJJ2xvxSuD_y3fVAEc5jiloiRhOAjMR83m-1zbO54JkW-i4hHyrmgMQol2JofJjZ6C/s1600/chair2+012.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnnqgROYEVzNDnyHT-O7lz8ew98ChwWhqCXsLUiUDh-8WXKCGdlnB5fg8rq7EaMbChforJ0bQntXUJJ2xvxSuD_y3fVAEc5jiloiRhOAjMR83m-1zbO54JkW-i4hHyrmgMQol2JofJjZ6C/s400/chair2+012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452715651618434322" border="0" /></a>I thought I'd add a printed piping to give it a little something since I'm just doing plain. Plus I figured if I did white piping, it would get dirty, and I wouldn't be able to wash it like I can with my slip covers.<br /><br />I was almost finished with the cushion and ready to do the back pillow when ofcourse what happens? My sewing machine's timing is off- the needing is running into the metal bobbin holder instead of where it is supposed to go- uhhhhhhhh- so now I have to spend money to get it fixed, AND wait days to get it back while I stare at this chair, knowing the cushion was minutes away from being done. Uhhhhhh. Oh well, i figure I can paint the legs, and take apart the other chair while I wait.

He bought a flag patch, owned his name tag from a bullet proof vest he had to wear on his mission, and bought the hat, I sewed the patch and name on, and then I embroidered with my machine his blood type, he LOVES it. Why this man doesn't join the military is a mystery to me, but I guess that's his deal.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlPEqAxnJJSMDxPhgDgq23BaNDuQIBafAc4uSLBElRfI0kFwr3xIoF7LIdNT0nBguud2YoBaMLN-1bp66iTaw-mb1JcOEVilT9O4OQ1Up4dn5EwNUB0BEGyk7-ymsBV9LIIt0kWEYD5Qd/s1600-h/wig+023.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433203089892170354" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlPEqAxnJJSMDxPhgDgq23BaNDuQIBafAc4uSLBElRfI0kFwr3xIoF7LIdNT0nBguud2YoBaMLN-1bp66iTaw-mb1JcOEVilT9O4OQ1Up4dn5EwNUB0BEGyk7-ymsBV9LIIt0kWEYD5Qd/s400/wig+023.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcPZvvcOm8k6Wkwo_xfBAxa4cZASP2V-O5CqSHJRg3cZVRUtRdrmEPD1PhyHBM8W9t_mptnn8mBPiZDF3crSGG7VnTwiARFl3cajTA46EsC56BfPPUS1hgNfKJgj8G-z1ZLlG85E5RFzvv/s1600-h/wig+022.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433202976780886370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcPZvvcOm8k6Wkwo_xfBAxa4cZASP2V-O5CqSHJRg3cZVRUtRdrmEPD1PhyHBM8W9t_mptnn8mBPiZDF3crSGG7VnTwiARFl3cajTA46EsC56BfPPUS1hgNfKJgj8G-z1ZLlG85E5RFzvv/s400/wig+022.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlIqcLjiMPJ18GW8LOLPU5A_4SEiq1MboPK0r1zuWgt25mnIbn_-MYj1BfNzZmYbV1-OcI7vzKB5lNKEaUFS2J2uVrRDp11fbKU83CazdrjfV7cjai_TGVzB7juYepLMijF7CGp33nniO/s1600-h/wig+020.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433202971339703442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinlIqcLjiMPJ18GW8LOLPU5A_4SEiq1MboPK0r1zuWgt25mnIbn_-MYj1BfNzZmYbV1-OcI7vzKB5lNKEaUFS2J2uVrRDp11fbKU83CazdrjfV7cjai_TGVzB7juYepLMijF7CGp33nniO/s400/wig+020.JPG" /></a> I had requests for a front view of my desk- problem is a few feet away from it is a wall of windows, so I couldn't back up enough to take the pic- so this was the best I could do.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSbs2Mcwzo__8NsXvIxvU0wh5I_2ReQXd72KgfAwOk6q-mJIj-ZZVWMJCmYFtqmVWMns0qr1aprAvebkDCrYbg2GwJn80HDKXbganVrXKT9F97bUYoLGhmrCcNwkf_z31QMG7JL0DE5f-D/s1600-h/wig+026.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433202963166205890" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSbs2Mcwzo__8NsXvIxvU0wh5I_2ReQXd72KgfAwOk6q-mJIj-ZZVWMJCmYFtqmVWMns0qr1aprAvebkDCrYbg2GwJn80HDKXbganVrXKT9F97bUYoLGhmrCcNwkf_z31QMG7JL0DE5f-D/s400/wig+026.JPG" /></a> I screwed the tins on the desk.

So this is as Amy (my neighbor, no this is not Mike typing, he did not make this quilt :) this is the quilt that Amy and I have jokingly referred to our BFF quilt, because we were both at joanns- found an adorable quilt book, fell INLOVE with this one, and decided to make it, and try to find the exact fabrics, so it could look JUST like the picture. And I have to tell you- it pretty much looks the same! I should take a picture of the quilt book pic. Anyway- we started it, got half the flowers done, and then I got cancer, and moved. SO- Amy would visit me at chemo, show me the update on her quilt, and then we'd compare eachother's and ofcourse Amy, being who she is, would ask a nurse, "so, who's do you like better?" SO- during chemo treatments, I would work on it 2 days before my next treatment when I was feeling better, so the rest of the quilt was gradually made through my entire cancer. Then, this week I finally finished the rest- Now I have to quilt it. I don't know if I want to do it by hand or machine, I love the look of hand quilting, but hate doing it! We'll see. I absolutely LOVE this quilt, and never want to do applique again :) But ofcourse I have already been brainstorming some other applique quilt ideas, and have told Mike to not let me do any more applique, it is so tedious- but I love the look. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

She says she wants to steal it every time she visits. SO- I decided to make her one for her birthday. I took my quilt to the fabric store and tried to find the exact same fabrics, I managed to find 6, and the rest I had to just find similar ones. I usually don't do presents this large, but being that this year has been a stressful one for the whole family, I wanted to do something a little special this year.
