My Everything


I stitched this over the weekend, it was an absolute pleasure! The pattern is sweet, the colors yummy, the silk so soft, and the sentiment striking a cord with me as I stitched each letter...each word.


This will be for my hubby; my everything. We'll be celebrating our 16th anniversary next month :)

    Just don't tell him the last line: "I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong." I can't help thinking that whenever I see this pattern... :(

    Sometimes words just touch you right down to your soul! I'm sure your hubby will appreciate the sentiment- not to mention receiving one of your works of art! He sees you stitching for everyone and now is getting his own love message!
