I had two wonderful partners for this swap, and I am EGREGIOUSLY late in posting photos! I’m sorry! Work lately has been insane, and I keep wanting to put together cute collages and stuff, and just need to punch myself in the head and post in a less dramatic fashion so that everyone else may admire the loveliness. 
I was super excited to swap with @roler again, as we definitely have a lot of overlap in interests and styles (and everything she makes is cool!). I mentioned in my list that I am slowly building myself a crafted and gifted wall of fun things with as many hooplas as possible, and she delivered adorably!! 
She made me a lovely Nessie hoop with felt and pretty fabric and neat, tiny stitching. Oh, and cute little BEAD EYES! 
You have to appreciate both the hoop AND the postcard note she sent at the same time:
Look at the precious little FELT RUINS! 
They match the real ones that you can see on the postcard. dies of architectural correctness The gorgeous blue scrollwork-printed fabric she used for the background was a perfect way to represent the movement of the water, and I like the contrast with the felt texture. She said she’s actually been able to visit Loch Ness, and so this hoop is a very special memory for her, as well, although perhaps with the Loch Ness Monster added as an imaginary detail…or WAS IT?! 
Thank you, Roler! It fits perfectly, and I love it! 
I also had the joy of swapping with @jemimah for the very first time ever! 
I had so much fun getting to know her a bit, and we agreed to swap some extras, too. She’s in New Zealand, so she started with a lovely postcard of her area–definitely a dream vacation for me someday!
Next, she sent me one of the sweet fishie bookmarks I’ve been seeing pop up in the Happy Mail thread–he’s very soothing colors, and I enjoy the scrappy feeling with the words floating in the background.
Then, this gorgeous hand-painted bird postcard she made! I am in awe of her watercolor skills, and he happens to be in my favorite colors.
And finally, the most precious painted pastel jackelope bunny baby EVER! 
He is beyond delightful! His cute little face, and his round little tootsies, and his elegant antlers, and his floofy tail! again, dying of “teh cute” Seriously, the watercolor skills here slay me; it is both soft and very cleanly done. I love him, and he shall also grace the crafty wall of happy things as soon as I pick out a frame for him!
Thank you both so very deeply. Again, I am sorry it took a while to post, but it was definitely not due to any lack of joy or enthusiasm, and I have been so enjoying looking at my beautiful gifts on my desk until I have a chance to hang things this weekend. Thank you for being fabulous partners! I’ve never failed to be thrilled at the people who make up this community. And finally, thank you again, @gozer , for organizing this awesome swap!
(And thank you for all the kind comments on the Amabie hoop! I totally made up stitches as I went along, to fit what I had in mind. 
I promise she will get her own post as soon as I am able!)
