This poor blog has not been touched for so long, over 6 months to be exact, I had to sweep away the dust and cob webs. I want to be able to run my competitions from here as Facebook will not allow it anymore. Yes I know many businesses still do, but they run the risk of loosing their pages if they are caught. So to be on the safe side I'll run mine here.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ok, so who wants to WIN a Pillowcase or Short sleeve Peasant Dress for your little girl or If you have little boys enter for a pair of long shorts or pants and applique 'T'. You chose the fabric from my AVAILABLE FABRICS ALBUM. Place your name in the comment section below and I will draw a winner on <b>Friday the 19th of August</b> at 9.00pm S.A.time. According to FB rules I will announce the winner here first and once they have contacted me I will then announce on Facebook. <br />

What do you think? Ive been trying to work out a logo for the top of my Made-it Store, not easy when you are not really that computer savy.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Since last posting my likers on my facebook page have reached 106 and I have my first on line order for a dress. Have to start on it tomorrow!!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have also had my first overseas parcel arrive; gorgeous fabric from America, cant wait to work with it.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My Daughters baby is due in a weeks time, making 10 grandchildren. Cant wait for this little one to be born and neither can my daughter, she is so big, poor kid, but it will all be worth it in the end.<br />
Oh almost forgot I have also been to my 2nd and more successful Market, this time at the North East Kids Market at Greenwith and will be selling there again on April 3rd. So lots of work to do!!</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'll try and blog once a week in the future, in the mean time why don't you check me out on Facebook at www.facebook.com/onelittlepearl</div><br />

One of my new little grandchildren have been born. My Son and Daughter in law have welcomed little, and I do mean little, Lotti Rose into the family. I was there for the birth and even cut the cord! Lotti only weighed 5 lbs and was 17 1/4" long. A tiny little bundle of joy. Born on the 26th of January at 4.25pm, she was 3 weeks early but still looked fully cooked to me. We are all so thrilled to have her, and her brothers and sisters are ecstatic. Lotti is number 5 in her family.</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Isn't She the Most Beautiful Baby in the World</span>!!<br />

Well the Market is over and things didn't turn out well. I think there may have only been about 50 people through the market ALL day. It was very disappointing to say the least. I dont know if its because it was a Saturday market or because the weather was not good. Now I dont know wether to attend other markets or just stick to facebook and my blog to sell my items. I may try a Mums and Bubs Market but they sell secondhand clothing etc there too and I dont know how sales will go for new handmade items. What to do? I just feel that I need to do some markets to get my name out there and people can see my items for themselves to check out the quality fabrics and sewing. And once they know my name they will know they can trust the items to be well made. People commented positively to my Little Dresses and Skirts, and loved the fabric I had used. Well to market or not to market that is the question.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">OOoops! Forgot to tell you I will be posting pictures of my stall here tomorrow night and a few items on my facebook page. So come and see what you think! Could you comment honestly on my posted items I would like some feedback to see if I'm on the right track. Thank you </div><br />

Ive also had a couple of health problems lately and had to do a sleep apnea test at home! Has anyone else had one of these? OMG it took me 1/2 and hour just to put it all on. My doctor suggested I run this test as I have been feeling run down lately, im a bit of an insomniac, as I said to the doctor "I just feel glaaaah". He decided I'm not getting enough sleep and since this problem (apnea) is in the family thought it a good idea to check it out. I had 3 electrodes on my face, one behind my ear and 2 on my chest and that was just the start of it. The gadget was strapped just above my waist, and I had 2 straps, one on my chest the other on my waist. All these where connected to wires of course. To top it off I had a breathing tube hooked over my ears and in my nose and a thing taped to my finger. Well I should have taken a photo, can you just picture it, now think really funny! My BF couldn't stop laughing at me. Now this was all for lack of sleep, now imagine sleeping with it on!! I was scared I'd strangle myself!!! and the nose thing tickled.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fortunately I did wake up, after only about 3 1/2 hours sleep! You have to be asleep for at least 4-6 hours for it to work!!! LOL</span></div><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #c27ba0;">Tanya</span></span>Tanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00863119975452933819noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561513144996898767.post-39737236119736903552010-11-21T23:13:00.000+10:302010-11-21T23:13:04.249+10:30Facebook Likers<div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So thrilled that I have 8 new likers on my Facebook page!</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I have been working on some more gorgeous skirts today cant wait to get them finished so I can post them. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Boy was it hot today I dont know how Im going to go when summer really hits!

I would love for you to `like' my page and maybe leave a comment. I am trying to break into a very competitive market in baby/childrens clothing and am trying to get my name out there.<br />
I will be using this blog for some personal stuff as well and mainly business on facebook. Any items you may be interested in on either page can be enquired about on both. I will be running a competition over there once I get more understanding of how that page works.<br />
Any ideas on items you would like made that you have not seen around would be handy to know.<br />
Thank you<br />

I tried one of the dresses I made on my grandchild only to find it was too wide so I've had to alter the pattern taking out some of the fullness. I've added a loose coordinating sash to the original so it can be used at the waist, under bust or even down on the hips. I still love the dress and will try it on my little model again to check the results. Ill try to get photos for you of the before and after to see what you think.<br />
