guest post: Armommy + labels

I did a tutorial a few weeks ago {or maybe it was last week?!} about burp cloths. I forgot to talk about my little fabric labels.

My {very} good friend Rae is the inspiration for these, so I thought I’d ask her to do a guest post showing how she creates darling and useful fabric labels for her company,

hello.

I’m rae, and I am pretty elated to be writing for Emily today. While it makes me an itty bit nervous to think of all her blogger friends out there, I’ve spent more then a reasonable amount of time reading your lovely comments so {lucky for me} I already feel like I know you… thank you for having me!

today’s agenda is:

before we get into a supply list I would like to point out that in the world of creative arts it’s a big deal to have a “label” {clothing or music}. isn’t it amazing that our resources are so vast that we can create our own!? for those of you that are doubting your creativity {or need for a label} I would like you to know that I can relate. I grew up an athlete, that never received an “A” in art {pottery, photography, drawing} and believed I didn’t have a creative bone in my body. I was ok with that until I started creating babies {the living kind} and my desire to create things in general began to nag at me; which ignited a continuous journey and led me countless projects whose outcomes are sometimes good and sometimes bad and ugly… still. my advice? in the words of the grateful dead, “keep on truckin’”. look for your niche and you will be surprised where your journey leads you, what you are able to create and who you are able to bless. I also found great encouragement when someone told me that my Creator has created me to create. that’s a pretty sweet truth! own it.

now, time to get started.
