Good morning, Sweetie Pies and a very Happy Valentine's Day to you!
I just wanted to pop in for a quick visit and share a little Valentine called "Love You With All My Heart.
 |
| The little heart pillows are made from old clothing. |
I say this to both my grandsons every night when I wish them a good night's sleep.
I stitched "Love You ..." on 14 count aida which I dyed with Charcoal Rit dye.
I am always finishing my pieces into little pillows. Hmm how many little pin pillows does a gal need? I don't know, but I keep creating them.
I tore a 1/2" x WOF strip of fabric and created a long ruffle for a trim. I then pinned it along the seams.
I whipped stitched the ruffle down which bunched the ruffle- just my style.❤🤗 There were a lot of strings to clip from the fraying but that's ok. ✀
Wallah! My Valentine was done!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Do you have any special plans for this fine Wednesday?
Mr. Pinker and I will be enjoying a long romantic stroll through several thrift stores. 😀❤ A day of junkin' sounds pretty fabulous to me! Hee! Hee! And just maybe I will come home with some thrifty treasures. I have my fingers and toes crossed for a quilt top or better yet a quilt, but we will see. If I have any luck, I will let you know.
You have a beautiful day, my friends and remember...
I love ya!😘🤗
As always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
Melisa
You are special! You are loved!
Hugs and Stitches!!!
Dedicated to my sweet Baby sister, Amy . I love you, Amo. ❤

Hello, Thank you so much for yet another CUTE CUTE pattern to stitch! You are such a creative person, and I love the way you decorate your shelves etc. I had seen your blog a while ago, and kept thinking I was able to resist ( getting back into ) cross stitch embroidery, but noooooo I have succumbed and have made several little things to decorate for today. I found a few teeny tiny tray things in a thrift shop at the weekend too! So thank you for sharing your ideas, and a Happy Valentine's day to you too! Best wishes from across the pond, from Holland.
ReplyDeleteAaah , it just warms my heart to hear that you have got back into cross stitching and I am so touched that you have been visiting me hear on the blog. Oooh how fun to find some thrifty treasures to decorate with. Will be using them with your cross stitch or for finishing ? I enjoy going to the thrift stores just to look whether I find a treasure or not. Lol. Have a beautiful week, dear and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.

DeleteYour plans sound better than mine, that's for sure. 49 years ago today I rec'd my best ever Valentine when my oldest son was born. I have a B'Day cheesecake to make this evening. A big hug to you & the Mister. Have fun and I hope you find some new treasures!
ReplyDeleteAaah your Valentine's is always special, Ginny. I hope your dear son had a wonderful birthday. Mmmm cheesecake . I bet it was delicious!!!! Hubby and I had a great day out, but I did not get my usual sweet treat ( a cheesecake) but I did get chocolate. Have a super week. Big hugs from the holler.
