More Diva & emergency surgery sewing!

A few more outfits for the fashion diva.
This is the twirl skirt again

I cut out a couple things & appliqued them onto another Targ*t t-shirt to go with it.
Love this sundress ....it is Simplicity easy-to-sew 2469

This material is a Michael Miller design called "China Doll" & is no longer manufactured.  I bought 5 yards of it about 7 years ago when Mark & Dani were waiting for LiLi.  I made her first dress with it back then & have been using it for different projects.  This is the last dress I will make & have only about 1/4 yard left which I will make into something special for her.
Same sundress ...different fabric which I found in our local W*lmart.

Loved the bright colors in this!
This was my emergency sewing when I got home from dinner last night....Miss LiLi has a loose tooth so needed this for when it comes out!
Love

    I find it ironic that patterns have the name...easy to sew! HAH.

    That fabric is gorgeous, well they all are but that is extra gorgeous.

    The "China Doll" fabric is lovely... no wonder you bought 7 yards of it and then used it in several projects over the years. The flower sundress is so fun... very 70s flower power.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Happy "13th" Birthday Liza

Today is Liza's 13th birthday(that is 91 in people years). We are just amazed that she not only is still with us, after being told 18 months ago she wouldn't live 6 months but that weather permitting she still walks 2 miles every morning & another 2 in the afternoon! Check out the slide show.......her friend Lucy came over tonight & they each had a donut w/frosting & sprinkles along with ice cream. It was just too funny as neither one of them can see worth a damn but they knew they were getting something good! Lucy had hers gone in 2 bites but Liza went for the ice cream first & then took her time licking off the frosting!

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...
