Pretty in Pink

 
{"My Dear Hearts" by Blackbird Designs...Stitched on 36ct "Tango" by Picture This Plus}

I stitched this little heart is from "My Dear Hearts" by Blackbird Designs last year but just now got around to "finally" finishing it...and, no, it was NOT a WWR casualty.  When I got done, I decided it is definitely "pink-ish." 
 I may have to stitch this one again on a red linen like Aztec Red. (Ha! Yeah right!). Until such time, if any, that THAT happens, I just may have to reconsider my relatively recent (last post recent) dislike of pink.

But, for now, it is Thursday.  And, as promised, I have drawn a winner for the needlepunched heart in my last post.  The winner is:

BUT....
Although not exactly the same as the first, I did have another of the hearts and decided to draw a second winner.
The second name drawn was:

Congratulations to both Teresa and Marshel.  Please contact me within 3 days with your mailing address and I will get your heart in the mail.
Thanks to everyone who played along.

 I wish now I had more hearts.

💕

Your stitched heart would make anyone reconsider any dislike of pink. Gosh, it is gorgeous as is. But, red would be nice too. Congrats to your lucky winners.

Congratulations to the two winners. You have a generous heart indeed and your work is beautiful. I can't imagine doing cross stitch on a 35 count. You must have good eyesight.

Take care,
Hugs,
Julia

Ooops, not 35 counts but 36 counts.

Oh, now that cross stitch heart may be “pinkish”, but it is NOT pink!!! So pretty. What did you put around the edge, glass beads?
Now you must tell me how you made those paper hearts. Pretty please. They are so sweet.

Congrats to the winners and I love your stitched heart with the paper hearts all together. I need to get my St. V Day things out before it's over - Ha!

I think this shade is perfect. Subdued, faded soft. I'm not a pinky either and especially mauve, but sometimes there is a pink that is grown-up, aged, mature.

I don't think I could stitch on that size linen either! 36 count, wow! I do think this heart is more of a prim shade of pink, it's very pretty! And those paper hearts, they are just precious. We're in the midst of that "monster" storm they are talking about on the television. We just have sleet and really not that much. I'm happy that I don't have to drive anywhere though. Jan in MA

I discovered your blog via Mary's. And guess: I love the colour pink - there are beautiful shades (not the garnish ones).
