This cold that started as a little sniffle has now taken a turn firmly down the red nose reindeer avenue. It took no notice of the fact I had a dinner guest last night, Lauren Dahl who I met recently at Sewing Summit. The fair was just soup and bread but she topped if off with French macarons which make any cold seem insignificant even if it's only for a little while. I just love Lauren's last name, it make me think of the English writer.
We spent the evening carving erasers and linoleum blocks and lamenting our lost ability to draw. What happens to us as we leave childhood? I think we stop practicing and start worrying... here are the only two survivors on my side of the table. Captain Octopus for little boys and a simple "numero" made the cut. I truly enjoy carving stamps, it's relaxing, cheap and portable. The perfect winter pastime.

I just spent the last couple hours carving stamps too! Mine are no where near as cute as yours though. Your Number stamp is awesome!
