~ Happy Valentine's Day ~

 I know I should be thinking about hearts, flowers and love ~

being St. Valentine's Day and all.

so I will try.

but my thoughts keep being derailed to.....

getting back to my embroidery!!!!

so I'll combine the two ~

ah, yes, love....

{of needle and thread}

the sweet sentiments of flowers...

{and satin stitches}

 

 the allure and coyness of innocence ~

{and embellishment}

 head-over-heals in LOVE!

{just can't get enough}

Thankfully,

I'm blessed to be married to my soulmate ~

whom I believe is the only one on this planet that 'gets' me

and my need to consistently create something...

{he kinda is the same way, so....}

and he knows I love him.

dearly

deeply

truly

totally.

So whilst my head may be full of threads,

 there is plenty of room in my heart for him.

"Methinks it is a token of healthy and gentle characteristics, 

when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; 

especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts 

~ than while so occupied."

 

~Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Marble Faun, 1859
 

this is my brain on thread.....
