Hi thread! I came home from church, ate some lunch, cleaned up the mess from the grandgirls this weekend, played with Tinkerbelle, got sick, took a nap, woke up, ordered some body fashion tape from QVC, checked my eBay bid on some pearl earrings, read all today's posts on here and some elsewhere, and now I'm ready to go sew.

All the hard stuff is done; just the tedious hand work left now. It wouldn't have taken so long had the girls not been so diet crazy and I had to alter all but one of the dresses I made. I am not happy with my oldest grandaughter. I didn't say anything to her but she knows. She's 13 going on 30. She went on a diet and lost 20 pounds and she looks like a stick! She bought 3 in heels to wear with her dress and since she's already 5'10" she looks like a spaghetti noodle.:mad: :eek: There is barely enough fabric at the hem with those heels to make a handkerchief hem. I had to take the top in 3 inches and I just removed the front panel in the skirt instead of taking it in evenly around. I can't believe her mother let her diet like that. I am really upset with her. She was thin to begin with and now she doesn't look good at all.

OK enough complaining. OK well maybe not - one more thing.

Move to next post please.......

I had to call one of the bridesmaids yesterday and tell her she is off the court. 3 weeks til the wedding and she still has not found a seamstress to make her dress. :angry: We made them because Sarah couldn't find ready made in the color she wanted. There were only 2 dresses that I didn't make :sewmachin because the girl's mothers said they were able to do it or would have a seamstress do it. Didn't happen!! I made my granddaugher's because I can and I'm picky and I wanted to save them the money since they just bought a horse for the oldest. One girl is a missionary home on furlough and has no money and I love her like my own. Another is a poor college student from a family with no extra, so I offered to do that one too. Well then it became 6 due to other reasons, and then 7 and now I can't do the eighth. :lightning There is not enough time and I'm exhausted and I feel really sick. :dizzy: I'm gonna get some cortisone shots in my knees and hip so I can get through the wedding. The headaches are going to be taken care of after the wedding I hope, and I still have to pack up my apartment and move by the end of May. :tongue4:

Wow, do you think I should be done venting now?

Continue to next post please...

So, I'm going to shut up now and go have a good cry and then get back to sewing. I think I should take Morkie4's advice and get some wine to go with my whine. Whatcha think? I think I should keep my mouth shut and never volunteer to do so much stuff. Deb kicked me out of the group until after the wedding! (it's good, cause I have no time) :tired: (I kicked myself off my volunteer things until after the wedding too.):cry2:

OK thread. I'm done now. I'm gonna go order Tink some T-shirts - I never did get that done last week. Poor little darling is almost naked. She's growing out of everything she owns. She's such a little darling Tinkerbratt! :) Thanks for listening to me hollar and scream and vent. You're a good little thread. :love:

Hi Tink's mom! Sounds like your havin' a ruff day! Shopping for Tink should help. Shopping always makes me feel better:) Here's a bit of something for ya'.

Here is a big ((((((((HUG)))))))))) for you :)

:love-hug3:hug60::hug::love-hug3

HELLO! anyone home???

Lori, I forgot to mention after surgery... it hurts like heck to wear a bra. :D The strap goes right on the incision.... :eek: Well, unless you wear a strapless.... My incision still hurts when I get dressed using "that" item of clothing.... That's another reason I didn't go out for awhile... they wouldn't let me out with a b** on. :D :D

I'm here but getting ready for bed :( I am so sore :( I didn't go to Tueay morning we had a storm and I didn't get time I am gonna go tomorrow though :)

Ok, fine. I'm being ignored now like Morkie "thought" she was earlier. :(

Sorry you're so sore again. (still) We had lots of rain but no bad weather.

I went to a movie with my sister. She hasn't been in a movie theatre since Titanic came out.

Shoot Teri it hurts now to wear one :( I have a larger than average size so strapless Suck on me but I do have one or two I'll have to put on If I need to go out.
I did do some shopping for my GE I got a Cute t-shirt and some Cookies :) all natural choco chip :) They smell just like Real :)

We were looking at some flowers to plant... a bit early yet but ya can still look, right? Do you have a garden? What kind of flowers do you like? I have a small perenial garden in front. I seem to add a plant every year. Pretty soon it won't be small! One plant is there for a kitten I had to have put down.. :(

Wow thats worse than Me LOL I did watch HAPPY FEET It was to darn cute.

MY fav part is "Don't get to close I to close to the edge.:)"


I gotta run Hubby is ready for bed and I gotta get my nighties on LOL

Sounds good! I didn't realize how much stuff I had accumulated for the GE. I'm going to have to save some for the next one! I just have to pick up one or two things....

Aww sorry about the Kitt:( I don't really have a garden just the ones that come up evry year and a few roses.
Night :)

OOOOOkkkkk, I guess if ya have to, ya have to..... sorry to see you go. Have a good rest - dream of me. :D :D

hey, I hate wearing a bra!!! Is that what you girls were talking about? I don' t need to wear a bra anyways:D

:confused: I come into the thread..and I get greeted by a conversation about bra's. :rolleyes:

Outside and it was a nice day too

How is everyone today? I got my laptop back today and so far so good, but last time I got it back it went wrong the next day so I'm not trusting it yet!!!

Did you all have a nice weekend?

Susie, you are starting to sound stressed with all this dress making and that's not healthy! I can't wait for it all to be done and you can just sit back and relax.

Sorry I missed out last night on the bra talk!!! You girls are something else!!!

Well, just wanted to say HELLO to everyone and maybe see you gals later on! Hope everybody has a great day!!

Well, you have to take the Ann Landers bra test to see if you should wear one or not.:)

You put a pencil under your ***** and if it STAYS there, you need to wear a bra, if not - go ahead and be free!!!!:D

(I can't believe we're discussing this)

SNORKIE MORKIE - sorry I missed you! I saw the cutest ever 4 lb. Yorkie today and her brother who is a Maltese. He was so adorable. She had just had his hair CUT! :eek: :eek: Please don't faint! You could certainly tell that the Yorkie was in charge. What a little stinker! But she was one of the cutest Yorkies I have ever seen.

See ya later..... (if you're lucky!)
