On Sunday, we pulled up to the mailbox and Terry pulled some mail off of the top and then had to reach both hands in to pull out a package. As you may recall, my postal gentleman has a particular knack for jamming parcels of all shapes and sizes into our mailbox in order to keep himself from having to drive down our driveway and drop them on our front porch.<\/p>\n

Terry handed me an envelope with Icelandic stamps all over it and said, “I think it’s for you.” It turned out to be my biscornu exchange from Rosa<\/a>. Inside she had placed two yummy fibers from Six Strand Sweets, a postcard of her hometown, a package of one of her favorite candies and not one, but two beautiful biscornus! She also included a lovely letter of introduction; I’ll have to remember to do this for future exchanges, as it’s a great idea! In her letter, she explained, “I decided to make two because I wasn’t happy with the first one. I made the green one first and thought it was too big…. And the second one is too small.” Terry just laughed and said that it sounded familiar. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only stitcher out there who is her own worst critic. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

For the record, Rosa, if you read this – they are both both gorgeous and I would have been ecstatic to receive either one of them by itself! \ud83d\ude00 And after spending hours in the car yesterday, I was so happy to receive these wonderful gifts!<\/p>\n

The photos below are just thumbnails, so you know the deal. The first picture shows Phoebe in front of the exchange package because as soon as she saw me pulling out the camera, she was right in front of the lens. The third one is the same as the second, you’ll notice, except for the smaller biscornu. That’s because Rosa stitched the same design on both sides, but in two totally different, incredibly rich color schemes.<\/p>\n

If you get a chance, please take a moment to stop by Rosa’s blog<\/a> and let her know how gorgeous her work is!
