I've have been a super slacker when it comes to posting lately. Nothing personal, I've just been so busy with various daily life type things that I haven't been able to look at my computer without going into this really deep space-out place where all I can do is check the weather and read a bit email before logging off again. Plus, I've had wicked allergies. I think on some level I used to think that allergies were just pretend, because you know, I didn't have them. Then suddenly out of nowhere over the last two or three years I have developed crazy allergies. I sneeze, my eyes water, my throat is sore and I complain. A lot. I am generally miserable and hoping that the fog will lift sometime soon.
Anyway, this is not the point. The point is that a couple of weeks back I received my swap package from Sarah, my swap partner in the Bend the Rules Sewing Swap. It was such a great surprise. Super cute bag with some fun embroidery (birds on a branch- cute!) and great detailing. Plus, she included a recipe, cute notepaper and the best thing? A new dress for Fluffy the bunny. I would like very much to show you a picture of this lovely dress but you see, Fluffy is wearing it right now and she is hiding somewhere in the house. Anyway, it was the sweetest, nicest package and I was so happy to get it!
And let me tell you, getting Sarah's package motivated me to get busy with my own bag for the swap! Above is the bag that I made for my own swap partner. I know, it looks a whole lot like the one that I made for myself a few months back. But I really liked the one that I made for myself and I thought someone else might too. Plus, I feel like a big bag like this one is great when it's made of a nice heavy denim because you can really use it.
Okay then. More letterpress news after the weekend I think and I'll work on having my pictures be a little less lame as well. Like I said, I've been sleeping on the job a bit.
