Imperfect Perfection

I ♥ handmade. I embroidered a piece that said so;


That piece sold and I decided to make another since I ♥ Handmade.

Well, this time I purposely off centered the words and had the last letters as if they were falling down and I left a thread hanging.
Handmade is not perfect. We've all had disasters, throw aways, rip outs, smudges, splashes, dropped stitches, broken wires, frayed threads, tears....I could go on and on. So this piece is not perfect but that is why I ♥ Handmade!

I ♥ Lobster!

I've written about my love for lobster before but when I calculated last week that it's been waaaaaaay over a year since I had one, I was sad. DH kept asking THAT question..."What do you want for Valentine's Day?" and "LOBSTER" screamed from my lips. Now to me, it's not worth bothering with if it's under 2 lbs. so I set out on a mission today to find some for dinner and did! I know my gift is not something to wear. Not something to show off. Not something I need (well, maybe!) and it's not something I will keep forever (maybe on my hips?)
BUT it is something I love from the one I love....and that's what it's all about. Happy ♥ Day to everyone! Is it dinnertime yet?
