Purple Heart Brooch...

Purple Heart Brooch In Progress

I completed all the stitching for the Purple Heart Brooch yesterday. I can't cut that one out yet, because removing two from the ground fabric would destabilize my other two brooches I still need to stitch. I'll cut them all out when those blue ones are done.

It was really lovely to sit in my favorite sunny spot to stitch. Bella was sleeping at my feet, while Handsome ran errands with Bella's kid. 

I'll be working on the blue hearts today. I'll begin with the pearl purl outlines, and progress to the chippings, beads and crosses. These will be Bridal Brooches when they're finished, but the purple one is already spoken for.

I hope it's warming up with a little bonus sunshine where you live. I'm looking forward to the temperatures continuing to rise. I'm completely done with the deep freeze stuff! I know there's a cuppa with my name on it, so I'm off to start my day. See ya later, gator!

      Hi Marilyn-
      Thanks so much!! I really enjoy making these. (Almost as much as my frogs!) I'm enjoying the sunshine, too.

    I don't know which I like better - purple or blue. Either way, it's beautiful and I know the recipient will be thrilled.

      Hi MA-
      While I like the purple, the blue (or red) are my favorites. Thanks, dear.

    Sherryofcreateology: I am so in love with your beaded Hearts. My daughter has hers from her wedding 4.20.24. She loves numbers and chose that date because it reverses. Happy beading…

      Hi Sherry-
      Thank you, dear. I'm honored that your daughter wore one of my brooches for her special day. Their anniversary is coming up soon!

    Another stunner.
    Our temps are rising also, hovering around freezing, next week in the 40's, with two feet of snow
    still to melt.
    I'll be complaining about the humidity soon, I'm sure of it.

      Hi Shirley-
      Thank you, dear!! We're supposed to be in the 40-50s this weekend! I'm looking forward to warmer weather, but not the humidity. Oh, well.
      Hugs,

      Hi Lois,
      I wish I could adequately capture how the light bounces off the chippings. Thank you, dear.
      Hugs,
