After thinking long and hard, I decided that I would like to order embroidered labels for my 10" Nonesuch dolls instead of printed. I'm going all out on the rest of the materials, I should get the professional labels to complete the image!
After deciding this I went on a quest to find the perfect font. I searched high and low on many MANY websites. I finally found the PERFECT font! I contacted Anke, the fabulous designer, and she gave me permission to use it. She is so incredibly nice!!! We worked something out that works for both of us. :-)
Let me show you the mock-up of the label design!
Ta-da! Isn't it just perfect? I can't wait to order them! I just need to save up some more bucks and decide on a background color. My color doesn't really match any pantone colors just right so I'll have to find one I like.
In other good news, I stopped by the shop where I bought my sewing machine today to pick up some bobbins. I brought my purple bunny and Baxter with me to show the owner since she was so smitten with the tiny Nonesuch I brought with me last time. She was so excited! We had talked previously about keeping a few examples of my work in her shop so I asked if I could leave the bunny with her to hold my business cards (which she has been passing out). She said yes! I know she will take good care of him and hopefully he'll compel people to take a card and check out my shop.
This works great for me because I didn't really want to leave any of my "for sale" Nonesuch there. The purple bunny was just going to sit on my sewing table forever since I didn't make him to sell him. He'll do a much better service for me by sitting on the counter in the sewing machine shop! Kathy, the owner, says she's going to name him for me since I couldn't think of one. I'm curious to see what she comes up with! I'm going to take a picture of him there next time I visit so I can post it here.
