A few years back I made my mother a small heart-shaped sachet for Valentine's Day. It was red duipioni silk with a double row of "lace" that I created from seed beads and I hand embroidered her initial "P" on the front in metallic gold thread. While I sat working on it I thought about my childhood days that she had filled with love and the warmth of her touch. I enjoyed filling the time it took to make every tiny hand stitch with those wonderful memories! It turned out so lovely that I made one the next year....and the next year....and the next....
I think I have missed one of the last 9 years in making them, but I did get another one made for her this year. Blue is not really one of her favorite colors, but I am running out of new colors to use!....hope the turquoise duipioni charms her eye!
I do have one rule to follow when I design her hearts: It must be created from things I already have at my home and my studio...nothing purchased specifically for it.
Sometime I will take pictures of them all and share them with you....
