Secret Stitching Sweethearts Blog Hop


Happy Valentine's Day and welcome to the Secret Stitching Sweethearts Blog Hop.  My annual chance to show some stitchy love to our fellow stitchers.  Over the last month my inbox has been filled with various lovely stitched and crafted pieces on the theme of Love and Friendship.  At the weekend I sent out them to randomly allocated participants who will be showing their Valentines on their blogs today.

Please hop round and see if they have found their Secret Stitching Sweetheart yet.  The following blogs are participating this year:

As the organiser of the Hop I don't get a secret sweetheart but sometimes I still get a heart!  


The pink cube is the design I stitched last year by Amint Kipatten but the painted canvas and the felt heart are new.  They are belated Christmas gifts from the lovely Wee Witchy Steph at Show and Tell.

Aren't they lovely?  Steph is doing lots of crafting at the moment and makes some gorgeous things.

I did receive another gift today but I'm saving that for Gifted Gorgeousness tomorrow.



Everyone who is participating in the Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop will be entered into my Five Hops Challenge this year.  But even if you are not a participant you can still be counted for one entry by commenting on this post and letting me know you've been visiting the Sweethearts' blogs.

Finally, I am saving my stitching pictures for GG tomorrow but this is how my focus piece for the month looked when I picked it up yesterday:


Yes, it's a Chatelaine month!  Stayed tuned for progress pictures on Gardens of London.
