After much faffing about I finally got my camera to play nicely with the computer so I have a picture for you...
For some reason the camera and the computer didn't want to play in the same sandbox this morning so it was a struggle to get even this to show you. Maybe they're cold - it's *only* -21 Celsius outside this morning (which, for those who use Fahrenheit, is about 5 below zero). We won't discuss the windchill factor.
Sorry there's not more to show you - but I've been too busy being social and doing mundane things like errands to get much time to pick up needle and threads

Today's quote is from Erich Fromm...."Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love"
Happy Valentine's Day. It's for everyone, it's about friendship and loyalty. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI agree - Valentine's Day just isn't for lovers - it's a day that's about love itself.
DeleteSuch lovely soft colors in this CQ piece--Happy Valentine's to you, too hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you Julierose - I'm enjoying working with the greens and pinks on this one.
DeleteHi Mary Anne, those denim dogs are gorgeous - I wonder how the eyes are made - they're not denim, are they? I often wish I was that creative, but I guess we can't all be the same!
ReplyDeleteThank you for wishing me happy birthday today (ha ha) - yes, it's true - I think that's why my name is Val. (My sister was born in June, and June is her name too.) :-)
Hugs,
Val (UK)
Oh - I am SO glad I wished you happy birth day! Hope you doubly enjoy your day. As for the eyes - I don't have a clue how they were made but I don't think the artist used denim.
DeleteLooove the CQ embroidery and the soft tones.
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying working with them - somewhat of a change from my more normal jewel tones.
DeleteJust dont like that -5 stuff. I would rebel like your camera & computer. The reason we in winter flee Kentucky which was 19 this morning & go to Florida which was 70! Stay warm with your beautiful needlework.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite happy to hibernate and play with needle and threads. Winter is fine, as long as it's out there and I'm in here!
DeleteLove your CQ dear. Are your little pink buttons sewn down with an oat bead to make them so cute? I did like your awww link. Happy Valentine’s to you and Resident Chef. XO <3
ReplyDeleteI often use oat beads and buttons together ... more fun than just using thread to sew down a button.
DeleteHope you had a good Valentine Day. Again, thank you for the links. Aren't those pooches created in denim cool!!
ReplyDeletexx, Carol
We don't do anything for Valentine's Day - haven't for years. Guess the bloom is off the romance! And yes, those denim doggies are amazing.
DeleteI truly do love the colors you're working with here. So soft and subtle. And yet, very rich. Glad I read through the comments above, as I didn't realize what I was looking at with those pink buttons and beads. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becki - I don't normally work with much pink but decided this really needed it (primarily because of the pink roses in the image I chose). Hoping for a finish on this one shortly.
DeleteBack to say... those denim pooches really are terrific!
ReplyDeleteAren't they fun!
DeleteHappy Valintine's Day Today as well!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice one!
DeleteHope you enjoyed a Happy Valentine's Day Mary Anne! Your stitching is absolutely beautiful and my sort of colours! Loe that reversible scarf pattern! Have a lovely weekend! Christine xx
ReplyDeleteI liked that scarf pattern too. Don't suppose I'll ever make it, but someone might enjoy it. Hope you're enjoying your weekend as well.
DeleteThat is a beautiful project Mary Ann. I see the sweet little stitched heart between the stitched flowers, lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't do all that pink stitching without including a heart - hmmm, I guess it was rather fitting for Valentine's Day too.
DeleteI love the colors in your new creation - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt was 0 degrees here when I went out to do chores this AM. A bit nippy, but at least the sun shone today - no new sleet to add to my collection.
Thanks Quinn. Glad you didn't get any more sleet - nobody needs that. Snowing here tonight.
DeleteThinking of spring according to the colours you have for the piece of crazy quilting. Nice.
ReplyDeleteI guess these colours are reminiscent of spring - hadn't thought of it that way!
