The one that went astray . . .

This is a little heart that I made for a friend for Christmas, but it seems it went astray in the mail . . .


But if life is really about the journey and not the destination, then I guess having made the heart is the main thing!

I made a heart, as my friend has a "heart thing" going on. And I wanted to try my hand at tiny little cross stitches, so I worked this on quite a fine linen using a single strand of DMC thread. My Luxo magnifying lamp was my best friend while stitching this!

So, while the little heart didn't make its intended destination, I hope the good thoughts I had for my friend while stitching traveled across the miles. Anyway, there's always next Christmas . . .

    Oh no! Well I think you have a great attitude about it and maybe, just maybe it will show up!

    Oh Sue. It is so beautiful and I can appreciate how hard it must have been to see it to stitch! What a shame it is lost. I do hope someone lovely has found it and is admiring it!
