Happy 3rd Anniversary “Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!”

WordPress has a lovely little feature that reminds you of your blog’s anniversary. “Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!” is three years old now!

fullsizeoutput_d52

Time has flown by and I have learned a lot about sewing, photography, writing, blogging and social media. I always look forward to reading your blogs and sharing mine and I can’t wait to learn more.

To celebrate, I have a bit of a GIVEAWAY. If you would like to have your name “thrown into the hat”, just leave a comment below letting me know all the ways that you follow “Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!” – WordPress? Bloglovin? Instagram? Pinterest? Twitter? FaceBook? email? … Have I missed something? Let me know in your comments below!

I will collect the names and pull one from a hat and announce the winner on Sunday night, November 20th, oh let’s say … after 8:00 pm (Pacific Time). Don’t be shy! I will even figure out how to mail overseas!

Oh yes! I almost forgot… what’s the GIVEAWAY? Well I am particularly fond of my “Hot Hemmer”, so I thought I would get one for you too!

So let me know in the comments below – How do you follow “Nice dress! Thanks, I made it!!” and I’ll go find a hat for the draw!

Happy Sewing!

Hi Linda, Happy 3rd Birthday! I subscribe to your lovely blog. But you don’t have to enter my name since if I win the cost of postage would outstrip the cost of a hot hemmer!!

      Oh! I’m always so jealous when I am trying to take photos in the dark house or outside in the rain or snow of winter when you lovelies down there are enjoying sunshine!!! Of course, I don’t pay attention when we are the ones with the sun!

  Thank you! I have been wanting to say “Thanks, I made it myself” for centuries, but I was always to quiet about my sewing. When I started my blog, I figured now was the time to be happy and proud! We should all be proud about what we create!! (I’ll stop talking now!)

Happy 3rd Birthday Linda! I don’t have the faintest idea what to do with a Hot Hemmer so don’t put my name in the hat, I just read your blog because I’m interested in seeing what you’re working on and l love following your obsession with old sewing machines. I also enjoy hearing what the cats are up to. 🙂

  Well, let me explain… a Hot Hemmer is what you put under your Latte so that you don’t mar your sewing table. (I can bug you cause I know you can take it!)

Sorry this is a bit late (I’ve been off of the internet for awhile), but CONGRATS, Linda! Keeping up a blog in conjunction with sewing is rewarding but does take effort and time – and you do a good job at both! I visit your blog from my own blog feed (think that what they call it).

Isn’t is a hoot to read through earlier blogs to discover your progress and growth? I have read through a couple of mine and ask myself, “did you really write that?”…ha ha. Congratulations on all your projects and wishing you many more to come learning tips and tricks along the way!

  It is quite funny to read the earlier ones. I find I am more relaxed with writing now too, not with the photos yet though! I also find that if I am doing a repeat of a pattern, it is helpful to look back and see how I did it before, whether right or wrong, it helps. Hopefully I will continue to learn from myself and others as I go along!
