HAPPY ST. VALENTINES DAY

Beautiful red and pink blooms

and the sweetest vintage valentine, edged in old lace,

help dispel the gloom of this overcast day.

A little cash surprise was included

in the valentines for the children

but,I folded them into heart shapes before

slipping them into the envelopes.

I made my special valentine a heart shaped confection.

then piped pink frosting around the edges and

added fresh strawberries, because I know

his appetite and heart are closely connected.

Hope you're spending a very heartfelt day with your loved ones.

HEART SESSIONS

A good exercise for the heart

is to bend down and help another up.

Today I felt like stamping

and stitching

NOTE: I made this piece over the course of several hours, working on it for a few minutes here and there as time allowed. The photos were all made in front of the same window, but in different light situations, as the day progressed. It made an interesting study of how light effects color in a photo.
