I'm a swapper
Hey! I just got the name of my swap partner for the Sweet Goodness Summer Fun: Bucket Full of Sunshine Swap!  I'm so excited, this is my first swap.  Hooray!  I just happen to be headed to JoAnn Fabrics today and a few other places.  Perfect timing. There's a huge Goodwill I've been wanting to check out, great excuse.  My partner is from Arizona and this is her blog, check it out.  I think we'll be a great match.
In other news, I already sold my new pirate tote bag so now I have to list something else!  I'm not complaining. I was able to list a new zipper pouch last night.  I used some scraps from a handbag I made to sew up this little pouch, I really love the colors. And after speaking a bit with my friend Jenn over at Jenn Maruska Design about fabric labels, I decided to try making some myself.  I think I like them.  I did this version for my smaller items. I embroider the ones on my quilts and handbags, but this is so much easier.  The colors printed out really well too.  I also did a version that has my complete logo with the dotted border.  Now I need to make some monkey labels.

The little pouch is really cute. Love the colors. Nice and summery. I joined the swap, too! :)
Cute pouch! I am in the midst of my first swap as well! (it's a cupcake swap!)
Love the cute little tags too!
Such cute stuff - I wish I could sew. I haven't tried since I was 13! I'm in my first swap - the Magic Yarn Ball. I'm still coming up with things to include but it's so much fun!
That pouch is lovely! And your photos are fantastic - you do such a nice job presenting your items : )
That label looks great!
Love the pouch and the labels. That is such a great idea!
Beautiful blog too :)
I love your new labels. I've been thinking that I really need labels for my creatures. Would you please tell me about yours?
