There is a list of people participating over on Jo Who Can't Think of a Clever Nickname's blog, Serendipitous Stitching. You can click here to head over to her blog and follow the blog hop. I have posted the picture of my secret stitching partner. Now I will go over to Jo's and hop through the blogs to find the person who has my picture! Should be a fun way to see what other folks have been stitching!
Over the years I've shared this day with others who would otherwise be alone. I don't consider it a day just for "lovers", so just go out and share the love you have and make someone's day brighter! While my husband was deployed one year, I attended a Valentine's dinner with another lady whose husband was deployed. I bought her a corsage and chocolates...and it was a lot of fun and it helped us not to miss our husbands so much on that day. Life is what you choose to make it, so make it a good one!
Happy Stitching!!
I agree with you - commercialized or not, I wouldn't want to waste a chance to share my love with others. Doesn't mean you can't do it every other day as well, either :) Y

Beautiful stitching from Lesley!
Nice to "meet" you, DJ, and wow, you have been busy!
What wonderful stitching! I was especially interested in Renouveau, and I'm not surprised you were entranced by that single motif ..... it looks fascinating!

What a beautiful Valentine from Lesley, and yours is lovely too!
ReplyDeleteYour Valentine's dinner with your friend sounds like a great idea. I treated my work colleagues to chocolates today to show my appreciation of them. It was a small gesture but brightened the mood in the office!
I'm hopping around looking for my piece. This is not it though I sure wish it was. How beautiful! Now to hop on. Happy Valentine's Day!
