Crafts

I used multi hues in the flowers of the heart and the hearts themselves to givent them more depth and color variation. You can't see it in the photo because the colors are pretty close in the color family.

Here are some of my favorite designs.

I started the embroidery after about 20 years of not doing it. Why? It calms me when our Math lesson isn't as smooth as usual and at the end of the evening when I feel that I haven't gotten anything done and I wonder why I do what I do. These little tea towels help me to see completion in a small way in a small part of my life and it feels SO GOOD. So what may look like a few hearts are really a little piece of sanity with a needle and thread.

Here are some heart verses to get us thinking about the human heart on Valentines Day.

1 Chronicles 29:18
LORD, the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you.

Psalm 84:5
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

Romans 10:10
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

You can see the flower color variations alittle bit more in this close up.
