I finally got it in gear and made up some fabric labels yesterday. I've had the special printer fabric to do it for oh, 6 months or so! I cannot believe I didn't do them sooner.
This is just a little surprise gift of a diaper changing pad and flannel blanket I'm going to mail off this week to a special someone who is expecting....
Also, recently I received two awards from a couple of awesome bloggers that I'd like to share with you.
This first one is from Clare
and I am supposed to pass it on to seven other bloggers and a few more things but I am going to be cheeky (thank-you Sarah for enlightening me as to the meaning of this word. I think it fits here brilliantly!) and just say whoever wants to participate, consider your self tagged! You can find the rules here if you want to play along!
The second award comes by way of Fran
and it's the Wylde Woman Award. Once again, if you'd like to play along, consider yourself tagged and you can find the rules here. Thank-you so much Clare and Fran!
I'm off to a women's conference tomorrow and for the weekend so I'll be back sometime next week. Have a good week!

I love your labels and the baby things. I have a new grandbaby on the way (#8) and need to get started making some things for him/her. What kind of "label fabric" did you buy? Blessings, marlene

Love your new labels. They are so simple, but so cute. Speaking of cute, almost makes me wish I were having another baby (NOT) but the changing thing is so precious. :) Congrats on the awards, and thanks for all the nice comments to my blog. Appreciate it.

not to beat a dead horse (see your previous comment) but i LOVE your new label! very cute. and i also love the brown/pink combo of the material you chose. it's really amazing to me what people can make. and to think i was proud of sewing a plain old rectangle...
congrats on the awards! i love the drawing for the wylde women one. have fun on the trip!

What a great label.

I love the pink and brown baby things! The labels turned out great too. I made some too, but I think I need to invest in some of that stuff that will prevent fraying (name?).
Thanks for sharing!
