<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 1:</b> </span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Hoop stabilizer and stitch all placement stitches.</span></b> In most designs you will need to skip through the tack down stitches and/or satin stitches to get to the next placement stitch. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 2: Unhoop stabilizer and cut touching design pieces apart. </span>If pieces don't touch I just spray fabric with spray-n-bond, stick to stabilizer and cut.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 3: Spray fabric pieces with spray-n-bond, stick to stabilizer pieces and cut the pieces out. </span>Be sure to cut them just a tad bigger than the stitching line to ensure they get stitched during tack down. And don't forget to remove stabilizer from fabric and store it to use next time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 4: Stitch placement stitches on item being made. </span>This time go in order. Placement, add fabric, tack down, satin. If you use heat-n-bond light, iron after tack down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Step 5: All pieces are tacked down and you're ready for satin stitches! </span>You can see in the picture how my pieces are hanging just outside the stitching. This design had wide satin stitches and covered everything perfectly. If there is excessive over hang I trim it before satin stitches.</div>

<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/167486755/ho-ho-ho-girls-christmas-shirt?ref=shop_home_active" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh24a083pS3CwEgWNZ_c5ZG3_4xXihhc-sbx3nx46xnzYj_9ceaySYX7WR9DraZzDTUR09lWe17ylhpgB3TdvRsl9iA-66i4paeFX13dhX43gc7ejr6rxsl_f9li2_NcXsC-n2q2lIq5o4/s640/finished+shirt.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've always used this method and love it because I can keep the design template I stitched on stabilizer and use it time and time again for the same design. It really speeds up the process because I can have one shirt stitching and all the pieces ready for the next one and do not have to stop to trim in the middle of stitching the design. I keep all of my designs in craft bags labeled with the design name and size. Hope this helps!</div>

Jack looks so big carrying a lunch box to school. Randomly one day last week, he decided he was going to take his lunch. He found his lunch box and packed it with Nutrigrain bars, goldfish and his toast from breakfast. This is now a daily occurrence. He will gather up his snacks, put them in his lunch box and off to school we go, but most days he doesn't eat his snacks and eat whatever the school is having that day instead.</div>

We went to a friend's kid's birthday party and they had a cute little pumpkin patch set up out in front of their house. If one pumpkin is good, don't you think 2... or 3 would be better?! Jack had fun picking out his pumpkins and decorating them with wiggle eyes, stickers, markers and lots of other goodies!</div>

I love it and luckily so does Jack! His favorite at a <i>real</i> sit down restaurant is a beef enchilada with chili con carne, refried beans and charro beans.<br />

His favorite fast food Mexican joint is Taco Bueno (or Taco Beano, as he says) and it's only fitting since I ate that almost every. single. day. when I was pregnant. He loves the party tacos and party burritos and he got his first taste of the MexiDip and Chips combo yesterday and LOVED it!<br />

My Etsy shop is still open and going well. I wish I had more time to sew and more time to devote to it, but the truth is there are more important things going on right now. I give myself plenty of time to complete orders and try to <i>balance</i> Etsy, work, and family and I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job, despite the huge pile of laundry waiting to be folded!<br />

I noticed Jack was using the ball popper like a jack to raise up his car and when I asked what he was doing, that's exactly what he told me. Then proceeded to tell me that he needed Daddy's jack. I explained that might be a little big for his car, well come to find out, Daddy had a mini jack just Jack's size! He has played with this thing NON-STOP for the past week. Think he's watched his daddy work on a car or two?<br />

It's been so long since these pictures were taken, that Jack has outgrown those shoes, almost outgrown the shirts and the shorts no longer look like man capris! Ha! Those little brown shoes are Sperry's and I love them! Unfortunately, Jack wouldn't leave them tied so he didn't wear them much. So cute though!Jumping Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14061617701952046413noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415941898935740236.post-82623386039717563432012-08-17T14:58:00.000-05:002012-08-17T15:06:14.440-05:00Racing and Winnie Clean<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Jack LOVES racing! I think he always has. I can't remember how old he was when we first took him to the track (it was my first time too), but he was <i>young, </i>maybe 2 or 3 months old. </div>

It is so fun for me to watch him get so excited to see the cars go "FAST, FAST!" He wants to watch every single car go down the track and watch everything that's being done to the car. If he was just a little bigger, I'm sure he'd being doing all the work himself!</div>

One weekend we didn't take Jack with us because it was just too hot. We told him we were having "date night" but he knew we were going to the races and even asked the next day why the hood was back on the car because it had been off the day before. Nothing gets by this little one!</div>

Jack working on his race car. He is so funny! He told me last night that Winnie Clean was going to come over and help him work on his car. He kept telling me that "he was his daughter" and that she was a girl. She was also BIG, BIG! She was going to bring him new tires so his car would go "FAST, FAST" and she was only going to be at our house for 2 seconds, so she couldn't stay for dinner. He said they went to eat at some restaurant (I can't remember what he called it) but he had a hamburger with rice on it. Oh my goodness, he is so funny! I love it when he tells stories and I ask questions and he just keeps going. It is amazing how their little minds work. I wonder if Winnie Clean is coming over tonight?</div>

If you're in the Dallas area and need a good family photographer, <a href="http://hollyreyna.com/photoblog" target="_blank">she's your girl</a>! Super sweet, calm, laid back, amazing... Need I say more? If these were the only good photos we got, the session would still totally be worth it! We left there feeling good about taking family pictures, and that rarely happens, not to mention it was close to 100 degrees that day!! </div>

We celebrated Jack's 3rd birthday party at the <a href="http://gentlezoo.com/" target="_blank">Gentle Zoo</a> in Forney. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived that there was a room with A/C set up for our party! I was expecting to be outdoors with little shade, but there was a large shaded area with picnic tables near the petting zoo. It was perfect!</div>

Getting ready to watch fireworks with Memaw and Grandad. I think this was Jack's first time to see "real" fireworks and I'm pretty sure he loved it! He kept saying "boom, boom!" and talking about how the fireworks were "so, so LOUD!" He prefaces everything with either "real, real" or "so, so" to emphasize whatever he's talking about. He's a trip!</div>

In my effort to start healthy habits with Jack, I thought I'd buy plain 'ole oats instant of the sugar filled instant packs and to my surprise, he actually liked them. He was even eating them dry. I did add a little cinnamon/sugar mixture and dried apples, but I know it has to be better than the packaged ones I've been giving him for so long.</div>

No stroller at the mall will wear a little boy OUT! He needed to rest at Stride Rite after getting some new tennis shoes. How does a child's foot not grow for months, then 2 months after you buy a lot of new shoes, it grows a whole size? Jack's now wearing a 10.5 in shoes. I'm not sure how tall he is, but he weighs about 36 pounds. I'll do a full Jack update when he turns 3 in a few short weeks! I can't believe it!</div>

Ran and I have talked about planting a tree for a while, so the day after Memorial Day, we finally did it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We stopped at Home Depot on our way home from the lake and bought a Live Oak tree and I love it (and our pretty new grass)!
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were trying to get Jack to pose in front of our new tree so we can watch both the tree and Jack grow through the years, but he was in a silly mood that day and acting all crazy!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aU5_Iw7Um44/T_tJ69srGjI/AAAAAAAADQU/sQsP0_9i6wY/s1600/jack+146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aU5_Iw7Um44/T_tJ69srGjI/AAAAAAAADQU/sQsP0_9i6wY/s640/jack+146.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And, just for the record (and so I don't forget), as much as I would love to live in this house forever and watch this tree and Jack grow big and tall, I DO NOT want to live in this town forever...
</div>

While our neighborhood is nice and I love living and working in the same town, I have my sights set on a nice, <i>very small</i> neighboring town about 5 miles away...

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, if that little dream of mine does someday come true, we can plant another Live Oak tree in our backyard and watch it grow big and tall!
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kqEXoDpB38g/T_tJ9l1XaAI/AAAAAAAADQs/Kvmmp4UpSdQ/s1600/jack+149.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kqEXoDpB38g/T_tJ9l1XaAI/AAAAAAAADQs/Kvmmp4UpSdQ/s640/jack+149.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But until then, I'll be happy and content watching this little boy and this tree grow up right before my eyes in <i>this </i>happy home!</div>

My parent's neighbors host an Easter egg hunt for the kids every year. This was our first time to go and I think Jack had a good time, even though we missed the egg hunt. I guess they are very punctual, because we were only a few minutes late. HA!</div>

Then I made cute labels with each associates name on them and handed them out at our monthly staff meeting.

I had put off potty training for long enough (my goal was for Jack to be potty trained by 2). I wasn't feeling well the weekend of December 10 and I knew we wouldn't be going anywhere, so I decided to put Jack in underwear. I was still not <i>ready </i>to potty train, but I figured it was worth a try and we'd just see how it went. Well, that Saturday was HARD! I think Jack must have gone through at least 5-6 pairs of pants and underwear that day and I thought for sure we were not going to make it through this! (Thank goodness for <a href="http://www.jumpingjackblog.com/2011/09/home-make-over-before-after.html">tile</a> floors!)<br />

Sunday was MUCH better! I think he only had one accident that entire day and we were now full blown potty training! I sent him to school that Monday in underwear and we haven't looked back. I was so worried that first day that he would have a lot of accidents. I think I must have packed 3 or 4 changes of clothes, just in case, but I don't think he had an accident at all that first day in undies at school. (I had sent him to school in underwear a few times before when I was toying with the idea of potty training, but I just wasn't ready to commit to it.) <br />

If you have ever potty trained a child, then you know how hard it is and how much commitment it takes from everyone involved and how much time a day you spend in the bathroom! I think we must have spent half our time in the bathroom that first week! And, he went through a short phase where he refused to poop in the pot. It was so frustrating for me, because I knew he could feel it coming, but just would not go sit on the potty. Luckily that little phase didn't last long or we would have been buying a whole lot of new underwear! And speaking of undies, the ones from Gymboree are my absolute favorites! They are thicker than the cartoony ones and have such cute little designs on them. Some of them even come in boxer briefs. Adorable! </div>

Our first true test of the potty training didn't come until the Wednesday evening after we started. You see, Jack and I have date night every Wednesday where we go eat at our favorite Mexican place and then go shopping. I took 2 changes of clothes on this little trip, because it was the first time we'd be out in public without a diaper. Mind you, this is only 3 days before we were having family Christmas at the lake and I had A LOT of shopping left to do. We made it through dinner fine - I think we took at least 2 trips to the potty - then it was off to Target. We went to the potty at Target before starting our shopping and I thought things were going well until I was in the middle of my shopping trip (shopping as fast as possible because I had a 2 year old without a diaper with me and I had a lot of shopping left to do after leaving target) and Jack said he needed to go potty. We made a beeline for the bathroom, sat on the potty and nothing happened... So back to shopping. Again, Jack said he needed to potty, so back to the bathroom we went and that's when I gave up and put a pull-up on him. I don't believe pull-ups play any beneficial role in potty training, but they sure did allow me to get my shopping finished without visiting anymore bathrooms around town! <br />

It has now been 6 weeks since we started potty training and I'd say he's doing really, really well! He only wears a pull-up to bed at night and sometimes wakes up in the morning dry. He takes naps in underwear and very seldom has an accident during nap time and almost never during the day. I think when the pull-ups run out, I'm going to test him through the night. I didn't get him potty trained by 2, but he is potty trained before 2 and a half, and I'm happy with that!<br />

I don't believe in using the kid sized potty that you have to dump out, so this little seat has been a life saver and Jack can even get on the regular potty all by himself now!Jumping Jackhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14061617701952046413noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415941898935740236.post-89221522412005917562011-11-20T07:00:00.000-06:002012-06-20T23:28:06.236-05:00Fireman or Baseball Player?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

At the entry to my parent's neighborhood there is a little pin that houses a couple of donkeys, GiGi and Willie, and everytime we go visit Jack loves to feed the donkeys and deer.</div>

A few weekends ago we had some friends over to eat BBQ and watch our Rangers play in the ALCS. I should preface this with the fact that we don't have too many friends with small kids that we see often, so I was excited when I found out Randy's friend and his wife were bringing their little girl. We'll call her P.</div>

I popped popcorn and got them apple juice - it was like a real little movie date! But, that little set up did not last long! HA! They went back and forth between the playroom, the movie and outside. A 2 and 3 year old's attention span is not very long!! At one point they came out of the playroom holding hands. I wish I would have gotten a picture of that. Too cute!</div>
