P{L}P swap...

i was sooo excited when round 3 of the Pretty little Pouch swap was announced on flickr.  

i missed the second round and was bummed but totally was #2 or #3 to sign up this round.

like i said, i was excited!

this was my mosaic...

can you tell i like linen?  

Pretty little pouch mosiac, a photo by xx Nicke on Flickr.

and this is what i made for my partner. finished it up last night.

nothing like waiting until there are three days left.

although, it would have been finished last week but, i was stuck.  

i knew what i wanted to embroider on the back of the pouch but couldn't find it.

honestly thank heavens for jacey...

her strike of genus overcame my stupidity and i knew where to find the perfect thing to stitch on the back!

it was in my inbox... in my email... in my flickrmail... duh!

all that time i spent searching her blog and flickr... 

head smack! 

but it was worth it, i really hope she likes it.

.

and what did i embroider on the back of her pouch you ask???

her name...

of course i can't show it.  but please know, it looks really cute. 

honestly i probably could show it, i am sure she doesn't follow me... 

yet. ;)

this was a really fun swap.  

it was fun to see all of the new pouches popping up in flickr and thinking... 

oh please let that be for me!

i have to admit, i did get a bit discouraged. 

but, i plowed through and it was fun to create something for someone else.  

really hope she likes it.  

i didn't follow her mosaic very closely, 

sometimes i just let the fabric decide.

although, she does like embroidery.  

embroidery...check. 

i am linking up with rachel's celebrate color.
