Ah, okay. A while back I had carved lino somehow thinking it would transfer with stamps. How wrong I was. It’s good to see that there is an alternative out there. I usually end up with fiddly bits in my designs, so it’s better for me to use the softer kind.
And in a much speedier fashion I received my replacement swap package from @Annchen
Since my package seemed to have gotten lost, Annchen kindly agreed to make me another… and then it arrived 
shortly followed by the replacement 
hopefully this means that international mail is slowly on the mend 
I received another Dala Horse stamp and also a gorgeous bee that I plan to use on a gardening prayer flag for myself 
I also love the space shuttle postcard!
Thank you Annchen! xx

I had so much fun with that bee! It took a while to decide what to do for a second stamp since I knew I couldn’t recreate the original there.
The horses are slightly different, both since it’s tricky to carve the same thing twice and since I hoped the first one would also get there.
And When I found the space shuttle post card in my card stash I knew I had to include that one too!
It was fun to craft for you twice!

I’m looking forward to when I can repay you in the future x
I can’t post my gift from AIMR just yet… She sent me an etsy giftcard when the mail ate the package she sent.
I finally decided what to use this on, and I’ve ordered some lovely merino/silk/yak fingering yarn in a colorway called Dragonfly flying too high from this shop:
With discount + giftcard it wasn’t that much left to pay and I’m excited to make something for me.
I’ll show it off once it gets here

Can’t wait to see what you make! Those are some seriously gorgeous colors in her shop!
I also just purchased some lovely cashmere fingering yarn and can’t wait to make a cowl for myself!
I love that color…so rich and vibrant! I would make a pretty shawl or a very nice cabled cowl…something to show off the stitches!
Round 3 is open for anyone who wants to join in the fun!
