It's All About Karey...

#17 Motif Challenge

After five - FIVE - frustrating starts, I finally got the FIRST CHAIN going the right way.  ..SIGH...  It is difficult up there in my brain, sometimes.  I just could not figure it out.

Anyway, it is three days later, and I am very happy with this heart, which is, of course, Mary Konior's, Queen of Hearts.

The thread?  Karey Solomon's. Got this thread last September in Cambridge, at the Fringe Element Tatters event. 

Yesterday, when I went to my mailbox, I found this:


Karey  had put this in the mail, unbeknownst to me. Talk about synchronicity! See that one on the end?  That is my favourite thread;  the one in my header;  the one that I have run out of.  I am fondling the new skein as I type....

Anon,

  7. What an incredible and drool-worthy HDT score! I was petting the monitor (just to see if I could get a zen vibe, of course) - LOL!

    You heart IS amazing! And you should be given a title for your hard-earned mastery -- Mistress Fox, Lace Laurel?
