It is a beautiful day in Riverview, New Brunswick Canada today! Spring is on its way for sure!<br />
<br />
The reason for my post this morning is that I am excited to show you a new creation I created this morning!!!! I have been wanting to learn how to sew children's clothes and figured I would start with something simple but cute! I got this idea for a Reversible Pillow Case Dress from this site called <a href="http://sewingmamas.com/">SewingMamas.com</a>. Of course there are no measurements but..I researched sites that had standard children sizes and used this as my reference.. Phew..I was scared..LOL. Anywho, here is how it turned out!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BRNllqnvjPk/TbV3koPZWPI/AAAAAAAAAW4/9rZTEpxbtcc/s1600/pillowcasedress.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BRNllqnvjPk/TbV3koPZWPI/AAAAAAAAAW4/9rZTEpxbtcc/s320/pillowcasedress.JPG" width="263" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P3lrCOkMCGM/TbV3mmsU2lI/AAAAAAAAAW8/sILckQ7sCPk/s1600/pillowcasedress1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P3lrCOkMCGM/TbV3mmsU2lI/AAAAAAAAAW8/sILckQ7sCPk/s320/pillowcasedress1.JPG" width="276" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Now this little dress I figure that it will fit a toddler from 12 mos - 18 mos. As well as a top for a 2 year old to wear with leggins!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope you like my creation of the day!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How springy is this bag?? I love this fabric..it is perfect to perk you up for spring!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also added for an additional touch, a bigger version of the fabric flower from the fabric flower tutorial I have blogged about in the past. Also, for the middle of the flower I cut an additional square and loosely stitched around the four sides and pulled it all together to form a puffy fabric medallion and sewed a button on top.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Have a great week!</div><br />

It was such great trip and and fun experience. Even though I did not sell enough to cover admission fee and hotel, meals and travel. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience as a vendor at the Pictou Weekend Market this past weekend. I had lots and lots of interested people and that is all I hoped for. My hope for this past weekend was to get my products seen and hear comments from others hoping that my products are sellable. I brought my hubby along and he said that lots of people were very impressed and that my work was beautiful (Blushing). With the economy being what it is and being in a small community, I did not get the sales I had hoped for but I did make alot of contacts with people and handed out some business cards. So with that I made sure I wrote down lots of notes from comments people made and I will plug away and continue to do what I love! Creating and Designing wonderful handbags and accessories and to continue to get into markets and just having lots of fun meeting new people and friends! I am so glad I got to meet the wonderful people and Vendors of the Pictou Market! What a friendly Maritime place to visit! </div><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBPOdY-DI/AAAAAAAAAS0/qpi4TNo2clw/s1600-h/IMG_1184.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355485005476329522" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBPOdY-DI/AAAAAAAAAS0/qpi4TNo2clw/s320/IMG_1184.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBP_8Ny3I/AAAAAAAAATM/UAwpHfdW3KE/s1600-h/IMG_1177.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355485018758957938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBP_8Ny3I/AAAAAAAAATM/UAwpHfdW3KE/s320/IMG_1177.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBPREvGCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/zecJbZVktes/s1600-h/IMG_1180.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355485006178228258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBPREvGCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/zecJbZVktes/s320/IMG_1180.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBPuX8poI/AAAAAAAAATE/Vp1zgUkAXt0/s1600-h/IMG_1179.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355485014043436674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SlKBPuX8poI/AAAAAAAAATE/Vp1zgUkAXt0/s320/IMG_1179.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Have a super week everyone!</div><div><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/51/11B810707CFFAACE0A982E81C11D630A.png" /></a></div></div>Noellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627368798828285454noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19124018.post-22260476236547039732009-06-11T19:54:00.002-04:002009-06-11T19:55:55.114-04:00A Free Gift For All My Friends!!Hello Everyone!

Finally<div><div><div>Wow, this week has been a mix of cold and milder weather, the post few days have been mild but rainy. This weekend they are announcing warm above seasonal temps! Finally, Spring has Sprung! There are a few signs of spring here and there...crocus, tulips etc.. But where I find spring, is in my sewing studio..my totes are being created with lovely flower patterns and soft colors. I have been sewing every free moment to get stock ready for a market that I will be attending this summer..I am going on the road to Pictou, Nova Scotia. They have a wonderful market that they hold all summer. I will be a vendor for two weekends No No's Sew Hip Creations will be on the road: July 4,5 and August 8,9. I am very excited it will be my first time selling my creations in person! </div><div></div><br /><div>Here are a few samples of my stock!</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327822324943243234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SfA6LTCjR-I/AAAAAAAAARQ/lAAOu0GjUGU/s320/Totes+275.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><br /><br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327822331232000002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SfA6Lqd6GAI/AAAAAAAAARg/SeXE7JFBI70/s320/Totes+273.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327822328291531346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 217px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gLtKR3PCW-k/SfA6Lfg2GlI/AAAAAAAAARY/Uu1_ErfcTrU/s320/Totes+277.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><p>I do have a few of these on sale at my <a href="http://www.croppingal.etsy.com/">etsy store</a>!

So off to the dealers we go in search of a new car (well not brand new..but newer than what we had) The salesman comes right over and we say we need to get a car and we describe what our needs are..he says well guys there are two 2008 Pontiac G6 that arrived here a few hours ago and they are priced to go!!! HUH?? The ticket price $12,450.00...????? What is the dealio? These cars are usually priced for approximately $14,000.00 and UP! So we go for a test drive and I am automatically in love..I am feeling the power of a V6..wowzers and smooth..<br />It is Midnight Blue and soooooo roomy..<br /><br /><br /><p align="left"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 433px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 162px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://gm.ca/images/vehicles/2009/pontiac/gpg6/pont_gpg6_bs01_colo_main_ext_05.jpg" border="0" /></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/51/11B810707CFFAACE0A982E81C11D630A.png" /></a>Noellahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02627368798828285454noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19124018.post-26170225574558218162009-01-18T09:06:00.002-05:002009-01-18T09:11:38.200-05:00Happy Sunday!Happy Sunday!
