I truly tried to cut back a lot on work the past year and have just kept up with my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Snazziedrawers/185660954544">facebook page</a>. I haven't stopped sewing or creating. In fact, I just wanted to make what I loved and what I was passionate about. For so long in creating patterns, the people pleaser in me would just create what other people wanted me to but now I feel I have really found my voice in my designs and am head over heels in love with creating these custom one of a kind dresses. My hope is that others will find them inspiring as well and want to create them for their little girls. I just wanted to share my most recent pattern, the Isla Eve Dress Pattern. You can find it <a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/catalog.htm?item=103">here</a><a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/catalog.htm?item=103"> on my website. </a> <div>

Tim has gone back to work full time. He decided the life of an entrepreneur was anything but for him and he is happily starting a new career that thank goodness has nothing to do with accounting (his previous work experience) or sewing lol. Ava started Kinder and Addy started preschool. My kids are growing up! Time is flying by and I just can't stop the calendar from whizzing past months and months. My AddyKate turned 3 in October. We went to the zoo for her birthday since she is my little animal lover. She is longingly looking in the jaguar cage here below. I swear she communicates with animals in a way I have only seen one of my brother's do. She saw the lion in his cage and said mom he is sick. The Austin Zoo is not a zoo at all actually. It is an animal rescue. Yep she was right the lion is sick. She saw one of the monkeys in his cage and inquired, "Mom, he can't find his home?"</p><p>The following photos are pure proof I don't make all of my kids clothes!</p><p><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Addy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="680" border="0" /></p><br /><p>I adore these squishy little arms and cheeks.</p><br /><p><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Avaa1ddy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Avaaddy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p><br /><p>Two kids in school leaves me at home for hours a day by myself. What could I possibly do with all of that "free time"? The great thing is that I am working when they aren't home and not working when they are!</p><p>I have been busy designing new things. Both of these patterns are no sew! </p><p>I was a paper crafter long before I ever stitched my first dress for my noodle (Ava). It was so fun to switch gears and dive into a no sew paper craft project. Being knee deep in German glass glitter, tinsel, and making handmade crepe paper and accordion flowers (instructions for both are included in the pattern) was very relaxing! The best surprise was how much my girls loved trying these on and playing with them.</p><p>PS I made this dress below too. Maybe it will be a pattern!</p><p><a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/catalog.htm?item=54">Alexa Paper Party Hat Pattern</a></p><p><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Alexapartyphoto2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p><p></p><br /><p><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Alexapartyhatphoto4.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="680" border="0" /></p><p><a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/catalog.htm?item=53">Broadway Top Hat PDF Pattern</a></p><p>This one was for my customers.

So because I have some of the most loyal, kindest hearted people ever to count amonst my customers, I am truly happy to help them out with their craft businesses by including a pattern for the Broadway no sew hat pattern in my stash of patterns. I couldn't believe how much my girls played with these either! They LOVED putting on plays and playing dress up with the hats I made.</p><p><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Broadwaybaby.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="680" border="0" /></p><br /><p>Hoping to make this a pattern soon too.

If you would like to learn or learn more, sign up for my online sewing classes! I am going to offer a 3 week course (1 class per week) covering all of the basics of sewing. This class is for beginners. Even if you have never touched a machine in your life, but are interested in sewing, you can take this class and walk away with a working knowledge of the basics. You do not have to take all 3 classes if you don't want to! The price is $20.00 per week which includes an hour of instructor led instruction with me and PDF Studio Notes with information and topics related to the class. If you wish to sign up for all 3 weeks, I am offering a discount and you can pay $50 for all 3 weeks of class! See <a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/catalog.htm?category=20">my website</a> to purchase the classes that you would like and the time slot of your choice.</p><p>Each week you will receive:</p><p>* A 1 hour LIVE lesson with me via Skype! You can do it from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you have an internet connection with Skype installed. Each week, several time slots will be presented for you to choose from. Time slots will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis. If none of the available time slots work with your schedule, let me know and I will do my best to see if there is another time that can be scheduled. There will be four people in each class. We will spend the first 5 minutes very briefly getting to know each other. The next 45-55 minutes will consist of instruction of planned curriculum as thorough as possible. The class will be very much interactive, which is why I am keeping the class size for each time slot at 4 students.
<br />
<br />* A few days prior to the class, you will receive PDF Studio Notes by email with diagrams and instructions for you to review before the class to get familiar with what we will be discussing.

We had a whirlwind of a July with lots of things up in the air, but now everything has calmed down and our family is back to being settled and happy. I don't do well with Limbo! I headed to my first ever Kindergarten meeting up at the school last night and now the nervousness and anxiety over my 5 year old baby girl starting school has turned to excitement. Well, who am I kidding, the anxiety is still there! Thank goodness for a wonderful, passionate principal! I can't wait to meet her teacher in a week. What will we do without Ava around here?</span><div>
<br /></div><div>I also have some other cool news. I have been tossing this idea around for about a year and didn't really know how to make it work. We have many customers who are very loyal and refer us to their friends and family. We want to give back to those that do this through their website or blog. In the past, I have just sent thank you notes and appreciation to you who have done this, but it hasn't seemed to be enough of a thank you in situations where people were sending us lots of referrals. We now are offering 25% commission!! With our new <a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/affiliates.htm">Affiliate Program</a>, we can track your referrals and I will "cut you a check" for any referrals' purchases that come directly from your site and make a purchase. How coolio is that? I know there are many people out there that already send us lots of referrals so, I hope you have a website or blog so you can sign up to become a SnazzieDrawers Afflilate.. I am so excited to be able to give back in a way that really says "I REALLY appreciate you and your referrals!!!".</div><div>
<br /></div><div>
<br /></div><div><b>Here are the steps:</b></div><div>
<br /></div><div>1. You really need a website or a blog to take advantage of the program. Unfortunately, Facebook doesn't like affiliate program links!</div><div>
<br /></div><div>2. Visit the <a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/affiliates.htm">Affiliate Program</a> link on my website: http://snazziedrawers.com/affiliates.htm</div><div>
<br /></div><div>3. Fill out the form on this page. Required registration information is in <b>bold</b>. Non bolded fields are not required but optional. After you have entered your info, click the "Join Now" button. Confirm the information you entered on the next screen.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>4. Now you will be redirected to Redirected to Mal's E-Commerce SnazzieDrawers Affiliate Program page. I know this is a pain, but you will need to fill in the required iinformation again. Click "Join Now".</div><div>
<br /></div><div>5. Your account has been created! On the next screen you are given a Username and Password. You will also be emailed a registration confirmation that includes the username and password, so don't worry about writing it down now. At the bottom of tis page, it states "To return click here". Click on the link to return to the Affiliate Program Link on my website. (You can always return later and login at http://snazziedrawers.com/affiliates.htm).</div><div>
<br /></div><div>6. From the <a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/affiliates.htm">Affiliate Program</a> page on my website, you should see a grey box to the right hand side that says "Already in our system?</div><div>Log in below:". You can login to the system here using the username and password you just received to view:</div><div>
<br /></div><div><b>* Your Details</b> - Here you can change the your registration information such as your name, address, email address, etc.</div><div>
<br /></div><div><b>* View Statistics</b> - Here you can track sales generated through your link and see how much commission you have earned per period.</div><div>
<br /></div><div><b>* Get Links</b> - This is the most important part! Here is where you will find the HTML code to set up the links to use on your website or blog. It is critical that you use this HTML code provided when setting up the links on your site in order to get credit for the sales you bring us. You do NOT need to know HTML coding, you just have to know how and where to copy and paste this code into your website or blog. You can use any of the text or images links that we have setup for you to use. We must note that due to the several types of websites and blog platforms out there, we are not in a position to provide techincal details as to how and where to use the HTML for your site. If you have a website or blog, you should already be somewhat familiar with imbedding code!</div><div>

This is the question I asked myself when planning this giveaway. My conclusion was to give ONE lucky winner (that could mean YOU) the opportunity to start the craft business of your dreams! My business has brought me a greater appreciation of life, more confidence and self esteem, and best of all: it has given me the opportunity to be at home with my girls - a benefit without a price tag.<br /><p>This is only open to BIG dreamers. This is for a special person who wants to pursue that burning desire within them to make their dreams a reality. A lot of times, one just needs some motivation, overcoming their fear, and some kind guidance or support in "going for it" and turning a hobby into a business which takes a special entrepreneural spirit, hours upon hours of hard work, and practical financial backing. </p><p>I am overwhelmed with how much we were able to recieve in donations for this giveaway. We present to you today your chance to enter. I have teamed up with some very well respected and some of the most talented members of the online community and are going to help one unbelievably lucky gal in a way that hasn't ever been done in the craft world to the tune of $2,500! Here are your sponsors and their very generous donations:</p><p align="center">_________________________________________________</p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.theavalonrose.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#330000;">Avalon Rose Design</span></span></a></p><p align="center">Designs by Catherine Haugland of Avalon Rose Design can be seen on hundreds of websites and in several major publications such as Romantic Homes, Romantic Country, Somerset Studios Artful Blogging, and Victoria magazines.</p><p align="center">She designed my website and blog.

Especially anything related to children's clothing or bedding! I first saw this bedding by Addison's Wonderland a few weeks ago when they asked me to make an outfit (Addison Pettiromper pattern found<a href="http://distinctdesign.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-make-pettiromper-addison-petti.html"> here</a>) for the photo shoot. Jennie Helmuth was the photographer. Oh my heavens... When I first saw a few sneak peeks, I knew this was going to be a huge hit among moms and girls alike because I have searched high and low for over the top bedding for my kids, but everything out there is so plain and out of touch with what people really want (hello PBKids). I briefly interviewed the designer, Brittany Hayes, to find out a little bit more about how she got started (see below).</p><p style="text-align: center;"> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/?action=view&current=Snazzie17.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Snazzie17.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/?action=view&current=addisonswonderland.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/addisonswonderland.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="750" border="0" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/?action=view&current=Snazzie11.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Snazzie11.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div> <p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/?action=view&current=addisonswonderland2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/addisonswonderland2.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="750" border="0" /></a> </p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/?action=view&current=addisonswonderland4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/addisonswonderland4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div> <p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/?action=view&current=Snazzie5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Snazzie5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/Snazzie1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">When did you start sewing? </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">"I started sewing in high school and then really got into it in my sophomore year of college when everyone started asking me to make things for their homes after they saw ours."</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">How did you get started with your business? </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;">"My husband and I both are very entrepreneurial people.

I made these hair accessories for the fall 2011 Lemon Loves Lime photoshoot by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Helmuth-Photography/105050629539144">Jennie Helmuth</a> with <a href="http://helmuthphotography.com/">Helmuth Photography</a>. I tried to keep them really simple so as not to take away from the babes and fabulous duds. I linked the pattern for the flower under each photo. The best part about Lemon Loves Lime, is that their cotton (no poly blends here) knits are so incredibly soft and the detail on her appliqued tees is like no other brand I am aware of. Joy (the owner of LLL) is obviously passionate about bringing well made along with the cute.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: left;">These clothes are available for preorder on various websites online. Just google "Lemon Loves Lime fall 2011 preorder". My Ava simply <b>must</b> have this first dress for Kindergarten (yes she is starting Kinder..... oh so sad!).</p><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/?action=view&current=WC6L7516sm.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/snazziedrawers1/WC6L7516sm.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p><p>Ava Flower Pattern found <a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/catalog.htm?item=3">here</a>.

These are comfy enough for play, yet cute enough for special portraits. They are made using a comfy knit body. If you don't like sewing with knit or haven't ever done it, I urge you to give it a try with my pattern because I put tons of tips for sewing knits with a regular machine (NO FANCY SERGER REQUIRED) and the pattern is written for a beginner. I tell you what type of needle to use, my favorite place to shop for striped knits online, what type of thread to purchase, and walk you through every single step to ensure you are able to create a romper you are pleased with. Feel free to make and sell them too as long as you place a link to my website where the pattern came from in your sales listing!</span></span></p></span></span></div></span><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/addison1blog.jpg/"><img src="http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6228/addison1blog.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;"><a target="_blank" title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/addisonromperblog.jpg/"><img src="http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/8892/addisonromperblog.jpg" border="0" /></a> </p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9706/newborn1.jpg" alt="" /></p><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 18px; font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">Addison Petti Romper PDF Pattern</span></div><div style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px; color: rgb(118, 118, 118); font-size:13px;"><p style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://snazziedrawers.com/catalog.htm?item=20"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">INSTANT DOWNLOAD</span></a></span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px; font-family:'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif;"><p style="text-align: center; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); "><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:large;">$9.50</span></span></span></p></span></span></div></span></div></div>Snazziedrawershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00568825778959612360noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278309672199127110.post-53709930885079392352011-05-11T22:56:00.002-05:002011-07-16T20:39:06.352-05:00La Rue Royale Apron Pattern and Fresh Pink Lemonade Graphics<p>I wanted to create a twist on the apron pattern, so I created these two graphics (available in warm and cool colors) that can be printed onto printable treated fabric (supplier listed in pattern) and then sewn onto the front panel of the apron.

The technique for how to make the ruffles on the pants is also given away in the pattern. It is the same technique used to make the ruffles on the cake. It can be a little tricky and takes some practice, but once you get it down, you won't want to stop making these! You could also use pre-ruffled fabric which can be found at Jo-Ann's, Hancock's, or other big box retailers. The pattern comes with printable pattern pieces and I show you step-by-step how to applique them. I really wish I had more time to applique! I especially enjoy embroidered hand work and absolutely love boutique tees for my girls.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: left;">A huge thank you to Jen Anderson for these photos.

Amy was looking for a chandelier to hang from a tree for a photo shoot and I was looking for a funky eclectic necklace. We found what we were looking for and much more! We almost lost self control passing by the mini donut signs and walking through wafts of fresh funnel cakes in the air.</p><p><br />Below are a few of my favorite finds. I also found the cutest <a href="http://www.kismetaccessories.com/product_detail.cfm?CatID=7&PID=5810">dress</a> ever!</p><p>We pulled up in the VIP parking (the only way to go) and saw these adorable antique little cars. OMG! I don't have a boy, but I still want all three of them and the antique tractor too! Wouldn't they be so cute as photography props? They were priced a little over $200, which I thought was a great deal for such unique finds. I have to say Canton in general is priced very fairly IMO. I couldn't believe it. I was shocked to hear a lot of people negotiating pricing (negotiating = NOT my thing). I guess it is "smart" to negotiate, but all I can think about is all of the hard work that goes into each and every item in someone's booth, and I don't want to disrespect them.</p><br /><p><a href="http://s680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/?action=view&current=canton.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/canton.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="700" border="0" /></a> </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/?action=view&current=canton1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/canton1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="700" border="0" /></a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Isn't this bedding from Junk Exchange just gorgeous??

I gave this pattern my heart and soul. I know it is simple and that it probably doesn't seem as such, but I LOVE.... no, crave simplicity! I have been working on the bodice for this dress for the past two years. I wanted a bodice that didn't gape at the sides on my girls. I wanted it to curve down just right, exactly at the child's arm in a natural way where the fabric layed nicely on their torso. I wanted a bodice that had a round top and a soft neckline and I wanted a bodice that could have a 100 variations with a little creativity. I wanted the straps to tie at the neck, so that if you wanted to make it as a gift for a child, you could make it without trying it on them and still be ensured a nice fit. After several bodice edits, I was finally pleased with the fit.</p><p>I took photos of myself making one of the dresses a few weeks ago and went to go edit the photos for the pattern, but didn't feel it was expansive enough (re: visual explanation) and that I needed many more photos. So, I went back to the drawing board, took my photos all over again (over 500), and painstakingly edited them to find the very, very best ones that were the clearest and would show up best in black and white when printed. Then, I sat down at the computer for two 18-22 hour workdays and wrote out the pattern from my legal pad filled with notes and measurements. Tim and I sat down at the Mac and went through the pattern word for word. Tim doesn't sew, craft, or create, but he is exceptional to work with on the editing process, because he has the meticulous eye from his accounting background and points out every single tiny word that may or may not make sense and will ask "how can we say this in a more clear way?" or "what the heck is that?" :) I absolutely adore working with him because he makes my patterns so clear. When I sit down to read them that one very last time, I am so pleased with the way he edits the content to sound so very clear and descriptive. </p><p>I hope everyone finds it that way and has the same experience when they are using this new dress pattern, or any of my patterns. I remember what starting out sewing feels like. I know your time is precious. Our lives are but just a vapor. I hope within that vapor you enjoy creating something beautiful for a glorious child in your life. My happiest times are watching AddyKate and Ava twirl, spin, smile, or play in a new dress that I made for them. Addy isn't old enough but, Ava truly notices and touches all of the handmade details, understands that her dress is one of a kind, and made to fit just her.</p><p>I adore this one (shown below) I made for AddyKate without ruffles. When I was in Round Top, I found a box of $1 pieces of lace and this vintage doily was in there. I was looking for a way to "dress up" the little gold dupioni silk dress I made for her last week and thought this would complete it. I simply hand stitched it onto the bodice with coordinating thread. Now I want to go rummaging and vintage shopping this weekend to find some more to dye pink, green, coffee brown, and every color in the sun! Vintage inspires me in such a way that my mind explodes and ideas come so much more naturally. If I try to design what I think other people want, my ideas stop and I get stuck! I hope you feel inspired to sew or create. I hope you feel less frustrated when sewing. I hope that your love for sewing grows and grows from using my patterns. </p><p>I am so grateful to have a place where I am supported in what I do and don't feel pressured to go get a "real job" sitting miserably behind a desk in an office. I give heartfelt thanks to all of you. I am truly the luckiest girl in all the world today and feel like one of the happiest!</p><p>xoxo,</p><p>Joy</p><br /><p><a href="http://s680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/?action=view&current=addykate.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/addykate.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="700" border="0" /></a><br /></p><br /><p><a href="http://s680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/?action=view&current=addykate5.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/addykate5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a> </p><br /><p><a href="http://s680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/?action=view&current=addykate3.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/addykate3.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="700" border="0" /></a> </p><br /><p><a href="http://s680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/?action=view&current=addykate2.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/addykate2.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="700" border="0" /></a></p><br /><p><br /><a href="http://s680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/?action=view&current=addykate1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/addykate1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></p>Snazziedrawershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00568825778959612360noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278309672199127110.post-24361684579488970612011-04-12T23:04:00.000-05:002011-04-12T23:21:19.136-05:00Ma Chérie Dress Pattern Release<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Ma Chérie Dress Pattern</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">6-12 months up to size 8</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">*Includes instructions written for a beginner with lots of </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">photos for each step and extremely thorough directions with every detail included and no assumptions made. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">*Pattern includes a shirring tutorial that will take away the frustration from your shirring and teach those who haven't attempted it before in a very step by step process that will be easy to understand and achieve great results. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">*Pattern will be instantly downloaded upon purchase.

It was creatively inspiring and incredible to see so many artists that have have truly taken flight with their art or biz. I just looked on in awe at what these women have accomplished! What I loved most was that these women were being exactly who they were in the way they dressed, the road they have pursued, and have said "to heck with what anyone else thinks", and you know what? They are all more successful for it because people recognize the uniqueness of their gifts and talents and crave to find the same thing within themselves by looking at others who have.<br /><br />While there were hundreds of magazine spread worthy antique dealer booths dealing the good stuff at lofty prices (12K for tables, etc.), I was more drawn to the fabulous "junk" and repurposed potential finds I discovered while traversing the long miles through Warrenton. If you only had a hundred bucks or even tens of thousands to spend, there were zillions of things for you to more than willingly drop your cash on. There were no high powered sales pitches. No one was twisting anyone's arm to buy anything. Isn't that the way it should be? There was soooo much there, we could have easily spent three or four days and not seen everything there was to offer!<br /><br />I just had to share my three favorite gypsies of Gypsyland.<p></p><p><a href="http://www.parismontana.blogspot.com/">Paris Montana</a></p><p>This gal aka "Paris Montana" traded in her Mercedes and big corporate job to start a vintage eclectic salvage jewelry biz straight out of an airstream which she had decked out in lace and pearls, leaving the big city behind her and nothing but the open road ahead of her.

Then when you are finished on the left hand side of the screen you will see an option to email your wishlist. Email me your wishlist at Snazziedrawers@gmail.com and I will send it to my trunk keeper ASAP. Please ask me if you have any questions at all! I would absolutely love to help you! I am thrilled to do this and order a few things for my girls for spring and summer. We just went through all of their clothes yesterday and realized they have outgrown so much! It felt great to purge and donate but it will feel better to get super cute clothes from a UPS man :). </div><div><br /></div><div>Off to decide what I want! Also, House of Clouds has some new pieces coming out Friday early in the morning. If you want to place an order for ANYTHING from the HOC new line, you HAVE to SEND me your wishlist before 10:45 in the a.m. so I can send it to my trunk keeper so you have a better chance at getting what you want. </div><div><br /></div><div>Lotsa love and let the shopping begin!

It was the most perfect day of sunshine and a little wind. Can you believe we are already in the 90's? <div>I was able to get some photos of AddyKate! Woohoo! I have been trying for 2 years. She is always on the go but with Tim's help and some candy, she was more than willing to look at the camera and even cross her legs. We had been asking her to cross her legs for about 5 minutes to no avail and then Tim pulled out some candy and without him asking again, she immediately crossed her legs. So funny because I always think she just might not be old enough to follow instructions. Oh no, just not interested or motivated enough. I still don't know how photographers get babies and toddlers to smile and look so adorable all day. </div><div>xoxo</div><div><div><div><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/lake1logo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/lake4logo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/lake3logo.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="750" border="0" /></p><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/lake5logo.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p><br /><p><img src="http://i680.photobucket.com/albums/vv168/creativesewing/lake9logo.jpg" alt="Photobucket" width="750" border="0" /></p><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p></div></div></div>Snazziedrawershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00568825778959612360noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278309672199127110.post-22843644248856171362011-03-22T14:02:00.000-05:002011-03-22T14:19:48.519-05:00IMPORTANT Lucia Bella Pantaloons Pattern Update<div><br /></div><div>I am now offering the <a href="http://distinctdesign.blogspot.com/2011/02/vintage-lucia-bella-boutique-pantaloons.html">Lucia Bella Pantaloons Pattern</a> in additional sizes 7 and 8 at no additional charge!

Ava will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. Addy is only 2 1/2 (my ultimate favorite age) ONCE. I am in awe of how lucky of a gal I am to have these girls. It is funny how the more I savor moments with my family the more I am inspired to create and it feels less like work and more like what I absolutely love to do. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Snazziedrawershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00568825778959612360noreply@blogger.com4
