Hearts around the house

It's late and the house is now mine, all the knit and natter coven have gone, only little threads and bits of wool, plates with crumbs and mugs waiting to be washed indicate the invasion.

*happy sigh* 

I really enjoy our group, it is a gentle, non-demanding, friendship strengthening time.

SO.... with out any further delay, I now present to you...

Today's hearts
are those quiet ones
that live along side you in the home,
not saying anything but always there. See how many you can find.........

On a biscuit tin that holds my sewing, 

open at your peril, 

threads and ribbons leap out in cheerfully chaotic colour

All over a round tin filled with felt snippity bits, carefully saved for future projects,

all jumbled and rainbow hued

it always makes me happy to open this tin as it spills out it's its brightly coloured fun contents

A gift bag, 

secreted in fav sis-in-law's knitting bag,

for that 'just in case' moment'

Quietly nestled near some of my favourite books

Sitting in my baking drawer, 

waiting for it's moment when we make biscuits

Scrawled on a scrap of paper, saved and often stared at, 

another version, written in the form of a Chinese proverb

Cradled in a wire basket

Decorating the frame of a picture of the nephews

Dangling on a cord against the wall

On a work's file

****************************************

And...did you count? Can you guestimate?

Would you have said 75 hearts?

Told you they were quiet.

I hinted that I might (or might not) show you what I needed my sewing machine for, well, here is a clue....

I've never attempted  'drawing' with my sewing machine before, I suppose there is always a first time, it was difficult initially, difficult to be free with a regimented machine that happily does straight lines. We were both rather intimidated by my plans, but sewing machine and I soon got going and we actually ended up enjoying our experiment (so much so I was late for work!) hey ho! (Sewing is part of 2011's Revolutions)

Any hoo, it's late and I must still tidy up before I go to bed, it's been lovely sharing a bit of my day with you, hope you had a lovely one too, 

night night xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
