Pretty crochet heart finish!

That pattern did NOT best me! I worked and worked and found that trying to do it all in just one color was the problem for me, at least initially. I made one for all the important ladies in my life, but forgot to snap a pic of the one I made for my mom, which was white and teal colors. So pretty!

Once you get going, it doesn't take long at all! I made several in quick succession.

My husband surprised me this morning with several items from my Amazon wish list. Among them, was a Scotch tape gun, and a point gun for framing! I ordered a frame recently from Hobby Lobby with the intention of doing everything myself. So we will see how that goes! Practice makes perfect I think and I hate to give up on something (even though I do it sometimes, lol).

I'll be sure to show my results and process on that. I'm never quite satisfied with what I get back from a framer. However, I never had a problem with the results from In Stitches, in Alexandria VA. They do a lovely job. But wow, is it expensive. Fantastic quality however.

I'm working on Christmastide this weekend, so hopefully have a good progress update soon!

I hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day!
