Secret Stitching Bloghop

 Jo at  Serendipitous Stitching is once again hosting the Secret Sweetheart Blog Hop on Valentines Day. This is the first of many blog hops that Jo traditionally hosts throughout the year. They are all different, and all great fun.


Look at this absolutely beautiful heart. Did you stitch it? As I look at it, I would love to say that I did, but the truth is that I discovered some time ago that blackwork is NOT my special skill. Much as I would love to have stitched this, I know that to do so is way beyond my comfort level. That makes me enjoy this one even more.

I have guessed the name of my Secret Stitcher, so I will be watching to see who claims it, to see if my guess is correct.

Valentines Day is a special one for me, as it is the birthday of my gorgeous niece Ciara. She lives on the opposite side of the country, in Western Australia. Happy Birthday, Ciara!

    Happy Birthday Ciara, lovely heart, I have only done blackwork once I am not a fan.

    I really love this heart. I enjoy blackwork, but I also enjoy backstitching so I guess that makes sense.

    That is a lovely heart, very nice Roni! I've done some blackwork, but should really do more to practice.
    Happy hearts to you.

    Ah I thought it would be blackwork from Roni but this was not viewable on my first visit hence me thinking the other blackwork in the hop might have been hers. She is on a roll with it...
