At work we've been discarding old VHS tapes, and someone asked if I could use the empty clear VHS boxes for some sort of crafty thing. I had the brilliant idea that I could put my hand-dyed fabric in them - even sort it by color and count, and then have them all lined up the shelves nicely. When I got home, I was all excited to start trying this...but the boxes are too small to hold much more than one or two pieces of fabric, which is barely worth it. Booo.
I stitched for about an hour last night on the Stag Sampler, but I was all fidgety and distracted, so there isn't much to share.
So, giveaway! With Valentine's Day coming, I thought I'd share an old something from my stash. I stitched this once, and don't think I'll be doing it again. It is Twisted Threads' "Share Love" pattern. Here is a pic of both my finished piece (top) and the pattern pic (bottom).
It was originally a kit, so the fabric and silver heart charm are gone. There is a bit of the floss left in there, but I don't think there is enough to stitch it again (although you could use it to compare and find similar colors - or you could toss it and do it in a brand-new colorway!). Also, the original is stitched over-one, but you could certainly do it over-two.

Fun little chart. Plese enter me!
Count me in. This is a cute chart! I have a ton of heart charms too, I bought a cheap necklace with lots of hearts attached, they are ideal for stitching.
Isn't it frustrating when you leave one vital object behind. I used to stitch on my commute to work and it was usually my scissors that were in the wrong place.
Hello Erin,
I would love to be included in your Share Love chart giveaway.
Good luck with your stitching.
Happy days.
