I've got the center and first border on the Gingerbread Square Dance quilt. It's looking might tasty.

I have a close up here so you can see all the tasty treats and gingerbread house on the focus fabric.

I was able to stitch up another little section of Mickey and Pirate friends...just some more of Goofy's pirate hat. I apologize that I must have had a weird filter on when I took this picture. It's a little dark.

| Mickey and Pirate Friends Cross Stitch as of 09/02/2017 |
And since I occasionally get requests for what this piece will look like when it's finished...and it's a new month so a good time for a reminder...here is what the finished stitched piece will look like.
 |
| Mickey and Pirate Friends |
We're pretty excited to be headed today to celebrate wedding number four. When we asked what the dress code for the event would be, we were told it would be pretty casual. Blue jeans are perfectly acceptable. Yay! I'm thinking Mr. Goofin' Off and I should wear our special shoes.
 |
| Our Disney Vans |
These shoes are our special occasion casual shoes. Mr. Goofin' Off has the Mickey shoes and mine are a pretty purple with Jasmine on them. I wanted to be sure you knew because Mr. Goofin' Off would be horrified if he had to wear shoes with a princess on them. No mix-ups here.

| Road Trip Snacks Courtesy of Mr. Goofin' Off |
Mr. Goofin' Off headed out the other evening to pick up some snacks for our road trip. I think he thought we were driving cross country or something because there is no way we'll eat all of these in six hours of driving. That's one ginormous bag of Red Vines. Minnie does approve and thinks these snacks are pretty sweet.
 |
| Reading Material for the Road Trip |
I gathered up some reading material for the road trip...a few of my Disney magazines. I should be all up to date at what's going on at Disney by the time we get back...and possibly a few pounds heavier.
So that's what the Goofin' Offs have going on this weekend. What are your plans? Will you be sewing, stitching, BBQ-ing? Let me know in the comments below.
Have a great weekend, my friends!
That sounds like a fun road trip and your shoes are the best! I'm so impressed with your cross-stitching - it looks complicated!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We love these shoes. We bought them a few years ago and only wear them on special occasions that have a "casual" attire dress code. The cross stitching isn't as complicated as it seems, it's just going to take a long time to finish. Have a great weekend! Andrea
DeleteHave fun at your wedding. Any event where goofy shoes are welcome sound great to me. Gingerbread quilt is coming together super fast. What fun colors!
ReplyDeleteWe had a great time at the wedding celebration. Now I've got to sit down and put the final set of borders on the quilt. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteSafe journey to the wedding and back, along with fun times there! I have a different pair of Mickey Vans. Those shoes are made for FUN!! Here's hoping you will have some time for ORANGE scraps for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge when you return.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the well wishes. We made down and back to the wedding celebration. I'm glad we're not the only big kids (aka adults) to purchase those fun Vans. Now to get some sewing done for the remainder of the weekend. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteHave a fun and safe trip Andrea. DH has to work all 3 days so nothing special. Nice progress on Goofy. I so wish I could find that pattern.
ReplyDeleteLinda
Linda, Since your DH is working this weekend, hopefully you are able to get some time in working on your projects. I keep watching Etsy for the pattern to pop up again, but so far I haven't seen it...just the one that has Mickey only. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a note! Andrea
DeleteWe lived in Kirkland and Mt. Vernon for 25 years and I miss the area so much, being in Wisconsin. but I'm so happy being with family. We also visited Disneyland a few times, the first was its second year open. Great memories, also of the Lady Washington. Thanks for showing the photos. Your quilt turned out well, a cute theme. The brown fabric looks like waffles. Do I see a food theme there also?
ReplyDeletePaula, We live just minutes from Kirkland. We've been in our house for over 20 years. Prior to that I've lived in Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace, so we know the area well. And, yes, the brown fabric has a waffle cone pattern to it...another food themed fabric. However, my next few quilts will be Toy Story themed. I'm looking forward to those ones and a change of fabric colors. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteYour gingerbread quilt looks great, and it is sort of proving the merit a idea I have about red and orange. Enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteHey, If I can give merit to an idea, maybe I'm not just pretending I know what I'm doing. LOL We had a great albeit long day and had a great time at the wedding celebration. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteSo much fun in your post today love the shoes!
ReplyDeleteWe are all about the fun here...including shoes. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteGingerbread Square Dance looks great and that's one doozey of q cross stitch you h there. Amazing! Have a fun trip.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, the cross stitch will be huge when it's finished. It will be my largest piece to date. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a note! Andrea
DeleteTsk so nice that you both have the same interests,and can enjoy the Disney things together. Have a great time!
ReplyDeletePaula, Yes, I do love the fact that DH and I both enjoy Disney so much. We have lots of fun memories and times together. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteWell it is Father's Day here and we are having a quiet sit at home day. Our family is at least 6.5 hrs away so a few phone calls will be had... Enjoy your treats..
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your Father's Day holiday and the phone calls with family. We are lucky to live near so much family. Happy stitching! Andrea
DeleteFive weddings??? That is a lot of cake. There is no such thing as too much champagne :-) Your shoes are cute. Hope you will be dancing merrily into the wee hours.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Preeti! We are so excited that the extended family is growing by leaps and bounds this year. But I'm looking forward to a few weekends at home just sewing at some point. Thank you for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteMmmm Red Vines, gotta love those! I hope you enjoy your road trip and the Wedding. Love the shoes you will be wearing.
ReplyDeleteThe Gingerbread Square Dance quilt looks awesome.
Faith, We always bring along Red Vines for a road trip. The wedding celebration went very well, and we enjoyed having the opportunity to wear our Disney shoes. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteGingerbread Square Dance is looking so good. I can see the progress on Goofy. This will take a while but it will be beautiful when completed. Enjoy your car trip and wedding.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cathie! Almost finished with the Gingerbread Square Dance quilt, and then I've got a pile of Toy Story fabrics and quilts I want to do. So many projects and so little time. I am still having a great time working on Goofy...which is good because I have soooo much left. Have a great week! Andrea
DeleteLove the shoes!
ReplyDeleteWe had a rash of niece and nephew weddings a few years ago. This year it was a rash of babies we celebrated...well, that's not exactly what you call a group of babies but you get what I'm talking about! That means I made baby quilts for four new grand nephews born this year...well, one's not here yet.
Thank you, Cathy! The shoes are so much fun. We want them to last, so we only wear them on special occasions. In addition to the weddings, we also have two grand nephews/nieces due within the next six months. I love being a part of such a large family. Thanks for dropping by! Andrea

ReplyDeleteI have 3 high school graduation quilts to make this year for my nieces and nephews. Thank goodness they are all too young for wedding quilts right now! Not sure I will be able to keep up, but I love my big family. You should probably get started on baby quilts next!
ReplyDeleteBig families really are the best! And there always seems to be some big event on the horizon to use as an excuse to make another quilt. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a message. Happy sewing! Andrea
DeleteYou made great progress! I LOVE your shoes. :) We planned on yardwork, but the landscape supply we go to for bark was closed for the weekend. I've done a few indoor chores and worked on a few project finishes this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe shoes are a lot of fun. We've had them a few years and wear them on only special occasions. Thanks for dropping in and leaving a message. Have a great day! Andrea
DeleteIt looks as if you are big Disney fans! The XS looks well started. I'll be lookin for updates on the Stitchery Link Party.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the quilt looks fantastic! Goofy is really emerging, yay! Your shoes are fun too, thanks for clarifying who wears what!
ReplyDeleteGoofy is coming along nicely. Am looking forward to getting more done on him soon. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a note. Happy stitching! Andrea
DeleteGreat job with your projects. Love the shoes. Thanks for clearing up who's is who's haha. Poor hubby. Enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by! The road trip and wedding celebration went very well. We only have one out of the five weddings left and Hurricane Irma has thrown a huge wrench in that destination wedding. Happy sewing! Andrea
DeleteI can't imagine my hubby being okay with princess shoes, either. However, with 7 granddaughters it really shouldn't bother him a bit. Your quilt is yummy! (pun intended) In fact the whole post is sweet!
ReplyDeleteMary, Thank you! And thanks for dropping by and leaving a message. Have a great week! Andrea
DeleteI hope you had a great road trip and put a dent in the snack mountain ;-) The quilt is looking great and Goofy is really starting to emerge now! Really love your special shoes, glad you clarified which ones were yours! ;-) Have a great week,
ReplyDeleteHelen
Thank you for dropping by! The past week and a half has been crazy, so I apologize for not thanking you earlier. Andrea
DeleteFive weddings on one summer ! Jeans sounds great for a wedding . Weddings here in the U.K. Still tend to be quite formal . People were shocked/surprised when I said I was wearing trousers and flat shoes to my sons wedding . I did wear a thing on my head though to balance it
ReplyDeleteSome weddings are formal here in the U.S. while others are less so. The past few years we have seen a lot more themed weddings that are less formal. The wedding celebration was a lot of fun. Thank you for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteYour Gingerbread Square Dance quilt is wonderful. I admire your perseverance in finishing such a complicated stitchery. Hope you had a wonderful time at the weddings! How can you not with such fun shoes :)
ReplyDelete-Soma
Thank you, Soma! The Gingerbread Square Dance quilt was a lot of fun. And I do love a good challenge with my stitching projects. The wedding celebration went very well. Thank you for dropping by! Andrea
DeleteLove.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Andrea
DeleteYour Gingerbread Square Dance quilt is looking bright & colourful.
ReplyDeleteI love your special casual shoes, just perect for such occasions.
Kay.
Thank you! It was a fun quilt to work on. And we do have a lot of fun with those shoes. Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment! Andrea
