But I decided to do it this week because I made up some cute shipping labels I wanted to share.br /br /Since 99% of the business I’ve been doing is downloadable goods, I never needed shipping labels until now. (With the jewelry and hopefully other things soon!) So anyway, I got some labels down at Staples and whipped up this little sketch. I really love to draw cobwebs plus there’s one in the a href=”http://www.fablehandmadegoods.com/” target=”_blank”Fable/a banner in both shops. And the bunny is making an appearance because it’s spring!br /br /a href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/faeriefurballs/2431014473/” title=”Shipping Labels by faeriefurballs, on Flickr”img src=”http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3253/2431014473_6280803599_o.jpg” alt=”Shipping Labels” height=”511″ width=”400″ //abr /br /I also colorized some too but I’m not sure I really like them. It’s not like these are the shipping labels I must use forever and ever so I can come up with others later.br /br /This week’s a href=”http://thefabledneedle.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-made-it-monday-1.html”I Made It Monday/a prize: a a href=”http://fablehandmadegoods.com/crochetpatterns.html” target=”_blank”crochet pattern/a of your choice!

I adore your new labels
BR/BR/I stumbled across A HREF=”http://www.hiplinemedia.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PRODProduct_Code=BAGSCategory_Code=DVDProduct_Count=2″ REL=”nofollow”a teaching DVD/A at the local library. I made this one as a test. The instructions were simple, and I now love this little bag. It’s the perfect size to carry around a small knitting project. My only regret is not adding a flap to close the top of the bag so I may add one at a later date…BR/A HREF=”http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e239/crafty-beginner/?action=viewcurrent=1sthandbag.jpg” REL=”nofollow”My 1st handbag – view 1/ABR/A HREF=”http://s40.photobucket.com/albums/e239/crafty-beginner/?action=viewcurrent=1stbasichandbag.jpg” REL=”nofollow”My 1st handbag – view 2/A
Those are totally cute labels! Love them!! And the bunny is a very nice touch for Spring.BR/BR/What is “I Made it Monday”? Reading backwards now ……. oh! I see! What an absolutely fabulous idea!BR/BR/I’ve made a ton of stuff this week getting ready for market. You can see some of the new faux dichro earrings (dichro papers were appliquéd in layers and lacquered on a mother or pearl base) and one of the retro ribbon rose pins on my latest post here:BR/BR/http://jeweledelegance.blogspot.com/2008/04/getting-ready-for-saturday-market.htmlBR/BR/And everything is displayed on those snappy new vintage labels reproductions I spent the week before prepping
Whee! I’ll play again. I just finished sewing this cheery pink wrap skirt last night: http://flickr.com/photos/kaiwa_4/2430489692/BR/BR/ps. I like the bunny/cobwebs juxtaposition.
I love your labels, but I’m curious to see them colored in too. I have always been a fan of the spider web elbow tattoo and this week I saw one that was done in the shape of Texas to boot.BR/BR/I’ve been making a ton of bread this past week, click on my blog to see the beginning attempts.
Oh, fun! I thought I read that you would close posts on Thursday night so I’ll go ahead and post just in case! Shortly before browsing my favorite blogs and ending up here (!) I finished making a tutorial on my own blog for hand-dyed fabric trims. You can see it here: http://littleblackkitty.typepad.com/a_little_imagination_and_/2008/04/tutorial-diy-ha.htmlBR/BR/I put a link to some actual pillows I’ve made recently at the bottom of the post. I love your work. Thanks for the fun time!
Your labels are so cute! And this is such a great idea :O)BR/Am I too late to join? I’m not sure with the time difference and all…BR/I have finally finished one of my projects thanks to “I made it monday” (lately I’ve had too many projects, not being able to finish even one…).BR/It’s a crocheted baby hat, kind of retro-flying-helmet-looking, and it’s my own design:BR/http://hobbykroken.blogdrive.com/archive/283.html
i will soon participate!!!
BR/i think its a lovely idea. i have a contest in my blog too, for those who crochet a pattern i made.BR/well, nice to read and see all the lovely things u do.
