A wee update from me
I've been SHOPPING! And making... Just had to do an update with these gorgeous T-shirts Both of these are gonna have some alterations doing, I don't like how high neck they are, especially the Olaf one, they feel like they are strangling me! Going to make Olaf a slash neck and think I might make the Mickey into a vest top... Still working on that one.
And these next 2 beauties are a home made creation. Okay, my part was just ironing on the transfer to the t-shirt... One lovely friend made the design, the next lovely friend made the vinyls and I picked up the t-shirts and then ironed them on. Aren't they just soooooooooooo pretty?!?!!
Also Sy's suit arrived today! He's in the office today so he hasn't tried it on yet but I already know that they have sent the wrong size as it says on the trousers and they are a size smaller. Grrr! I've emailed the company but not heard anything back yet however we are 5 hours ahead here so maybe they haven't read the email yet. Just annoying that I have to sort it out.
Also I have booked a trip to the West Coast! Unfortunately that means on our first day at Disney I'm gonna have to be up early trying to book us into Grand California... nearly all the nights we need are available right now but I have just over a month to go so lots can happen in the mean time. Fingers crossed.
That's all to update with right now I believe, best get back to that sewing machine...

Love the shirts and the Kevin costume looks like it's coming along great! I can't wait to see it all together.
I wish I had the time to make a costume!!!!

HOW did I miss all the updated posts with your dress, your Kevin costume and your Hubby and Wife T's?? Your dress is beautiful! I am so jealous you can wear yellow. I look terrible in yellow. When I wear yellow, my skin tone looks like the gray color of one of the zombie's from the Walking Dead
I LOVE the Kevin costume. UP is one of my favorite movies and I'm glad to see it getting the love it deserves.
I want those T shirts! For the last 20 years, under 99% of circumstances, I wear Tshirts and Jeans. So it's hard to come up with new ideas. I hope you don't mind if I completely steal your idea for these Tshirts
There was a couple on our bus to MK for MNSSHP wearing awesome Carl and Russell costumes. "Russell" even had a little Dug stuffed animal in "his" backpack. I'll be posting their photo soon, with faces blurred since I didn't ask permission to post their photo online. I'm sure Sy's Russell and your Kevin will be just as awesome.
I am going as Terence from the Tinker Bell movies. Despite my lack of sewing experience I have managed to create an 'acorn' hat, sash for the Russell costume and a vest.
Omgomgomgomg I go to Florida THIS MONTH!!!

A wee Update
Eeeeeeek! I go to THIS MONTH! I don't care how many time I say it, it just doesn't get old
Not only do I go THIS MONTH, but my countdown app now says 9 Day 23 Hours and 55 Minutes. Is that an indication I need a Single Digit Dance? Hell, I'm gonna take it anyway WOOHOO *boogies around the room with the cat*
Updates?
I've had another play with the itinerary (of course, I am a sufferer of tweakism so I cannot be blamed for my actions ) We are now eating at 1900 our first morning again, yay! I couldn't get in after that evil thing cancelled our ADR's but after a long time of stalking a cancelled reservations thread on another board, I got in
I've also managed to nab a Be Our Guest fastpass lunch for the day we are doing the Marceline tour
Sewing; I am almost done! YAY! I finished my Kevin costume, my dress and my t-shirts that I wanted to fiddle with. Also finished my skirt and Sy's Wilderness Explorer sash. The only thing left to do is my Vow Renewal dress - I need to take up the straps and add a bit of floatiness at the back (only way to describe it, honest!). My mum is coming over today to help me with that so hopefully it will be all done by tonight and I can *finally* put my sewing machine away (well till we come back from the trip and I start on a dress I want to make for a Christmas ball that we are going to, wish me luck with that one... :-/)
Here's some pictures of the stuff I've made...
The skirt pic is before I did the hem, hence the length (sorry about the mess behind too, that's all sewing mess!)
That's my Kevin - not gonna be wearing it with the leggings, socks or vest underneath though lol I'm not sure it works as a complete outfit lol
Cake for Sanaa is sorted I've been in touch with the pastry chef over there and she's making a lovely cake for my parents and Sy's mum to celebrate their 60th birthday's.
I feel very happy as far as the to-do list goes, I have been nicely ticking things off (anyone else do this and get a great satisfaction of ticking stuff off as it gets done?)
As it stands today my to-do list looks like this...
Pack. The cases are coming down from the loft today! Woohoo!!
Finish Flowers (I've made myself a bouquet and buttonholes for the guests but they need finishing)
Just married again t-shirts. I've got the gems but I need to spend a few hours arranging them and ironing them onto t-shirts.
Decorate Magic Bands. I've had a first attempt and I'm fairly happy but I've ordered some nail varnish pens so I can do more detail.
Print some pictures of our wedding. I want some to get some pictures of us holding a picture of us on our wedding day on our vow renewal day
Hot glue Wilderness Explorers badges onto sash (sewing didn't work).
Alter dress (hopefully can tick this off today!)
Buy SD cards for camcorder.
Grab the last few bits for Sy's outfit, need fishing net, trumpet and balloons.
There will be the odd thing that gets added to the list, stuff like 'change beds' and 'clean bathrooms', I'm a mad cleaner when we go away, gotta leave the house nice and clean for the robbers right?? LOL I dunno why I clean everything to within an inch of its life but I still do it every time...
Anyway, that's all for now, mum will be here in a min for dress alterations. TTFN!

I also get great satisfaction out of checking items off my very extensive Disney to-do lists. And I guess I'd better get that list ready since we're just a month away ourselves now.
Also, even though I am not a neat freak, I always clean the house before we go away on vacation. I guess it's for the cat sitters, and the cats, of course. I also change the sheets, but that's for us when we get home.
Now, I am very much looking forward to seeing a photo of Sy's Russell costume, and one of the two of you at the party.
I clean my place before going away too. I am so excited it's finally October!!!!
YAY!!!!! So excited for you! I will be right behind you *kinda*! The outfits look amazing, I love the chevron skirt!!! AND THE KEVIN???? LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
I can't wait to see you at Epcot! Get to ticking things off girl!!!!

Your Kevin costume turned out SO cute and I must agree with Magic Mirror, I LOVE your wallpaper and your Kitchen backsplash too!
Love the shirts and the Kevin costume looks like it's coming along great! I can't wait to see it all together.
Hope you like the end product I'm really looking forward to wearing it eeeeek!
I wish I had the time to make a costume!!!!
Love it, it looks great, can't wait to see the whole thing!
It will look better without the socks/leggings combo hehe, I totally wouldn't have the time to make a costume if I had a little one so I think you're forgiven
I LOVE the Prince/Princess shirts! May have to steal that!
Steal away!

Awww thank you! I'm a little in love with my dress I have to admit I keep telling my friend I'm gonna start doing a Monica and do the washing up in it, so while trying it on the other day I got the gloves on and made like I was washing up to give her a laugh
I'm a huge Up lover, it doesn't get the credit it deserves at all. Feel free to steal the tshirt ideas

Luckily my friend lives down the road so she's going to come in a few times while out walking the dog so I want to make sure it's tidy for her too, don't want her seeing the mess we usually live in hahahaha, to be fair, I am usually quite clean and tidy though at the moment you might not know that, but with only 3 days till we go I have cases and stuff to go into the cases everywhere. Not long as you will be cleaning and packing!!
I clean my place before going away too. I am so excited it's finally October!!!!
Me too!! How many days for you?.
YAY!!!!! So excited for you! I will be right behind you *kinda*! The outfits look amazing, I love the chevron skirt!!! AND THE KEVIN???? LOVE LOVE LOVE it!I can't wait to see you at Epcot! Get to ticking things off girl!!!!
I've had a very productive ticking day today in fact there's been so much ticked off now that there's not much left
go me! Thanks for the love over my sewing
not long till you can start packing!! Eeeeeee!
Love your sewing! (Also love the wallpaper and that great leather couch)
Awww thank you! The couches were given to us from Sy's aunt when we moved in, they were getting new sofas and asked did we want theirs, they are sooooo comfy! Very grateful to them for giving them to us. Wallpaper is from a shop called Laura Ashley, it's like my Mecca... My house is all Laura Ashley lol. If you lose me in a mall somewhere, that's the shop you will find me
Your Kevin costume turned out SO cute and I must agree with Magic Mirror, I LOVE your wallpaper and your Kitchen backsplash too!
Awww thank you! Sy did the mosaics in the kitchen while I was in Florida in March this year, he's said never again lol
