Back again

Sorry I have been absent for so long, I had been getting all my stock ready for the City Kids Market on 11 Dec. 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.

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

Catch Up

Hi All sorry I've been missing for a while Ive been busy Sewing, Christmas shopping, Living! 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.

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

New Market!

No I'm not doing another Market but I do hope to get into this one one day. Went to a fantastic market today Lollipop Markets, Military road, West beach. If you have a baby or young children and you get a chance make sure you are at the next one. It has to be the best Market Ive been to. Congratulations to Nicole, Kaye and Bree on such a well organized market.

One Little Pearl on Facebook

Drop on by and check out my One Little Pearl facebook page, the link is in My Favourites under the slide show near the bottom of this page. 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.
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.
Any ideas on items you would like made that you have not seen around would be handy to know.
Thank you

Tanya
