Okay! First of all.....don't tell John! Got that???? This is a secret till Valentines Day.....
I thought I'd "make" a Valentine for my Hubby this year. He's always crabbing about how much money I spend on my "Hobbies," so I thought I'd actually make something for him with his money! Thoughtful, huh? (Insert applause and "atta' Gurl's" here, please!)
Okay, so it's the thought that counts! Anyway, the pattern is by Cedar Hill, and it's called..... are you all ready..... "Forever Yours." It was supposed to be a simple little stitch with a speciality satin stitch. It turned into a "Frog Monster!" The stupid branch was frogged out a minimum of 4 different times.....that AFTER I'd done all the back stitching! Sheesh! Then the "o," the "r," and the "e" in forever TOOK forever! Over, and over, and over. I'm not a good "bottom to top" stitcher...... Must be a right brain thing! LOL
Anyway, for my Sister, and whoever else cares, here it is..... complete!
Enjoy!
Post Script:
Hey!!!! I just went out to see the blog after I'd posted it, and realized that y'all can't see any of the "white" stitching." Bummer! I just want you to know, that in between the red "x's" on the hearts, there's white "x's" there, too! I spent a lot of time on those stupid white ones! LOL

Just "Love-a-ly". What a nice Valentine gift for the hubby. Hopefully, John will notice that it's more than just a rag with some stiching on it!!!! And frogging? I can gaurentee that 98% of us don't know what the heck "frogging" is!! No, it's not when two frogs are hot for each other!!!! Anyway, everyone at the gym is missing you. We all send you lots of hugs and kisses with our rubber gloves and masks on! Happy VD day Barb and John!
Nice Job, Mom!
Now let's hope that Dad doesn't use it to clean his golf clubs!
XOXO
Heather
