Live your life to the fullest.


I am celebrating because this is my 

Blog Post No. 700






I was told that this large jewel was too big for a short girl like me.  






How can that be? 






I was not deterred.  It has been my Talisman for over 50 years.


Follow your own heart.  

Thank you dear friends for reading me.

A heart to wear all year round


I saw it in a shop window, more than 20 years ago.
In a little town just outside of Munich, Bavaria, Germany



I just had to have it
It looks like it's been worn a lot...and so it has





This is how I would go about making this brooch

Cut a piece of cardboard into heart shape
Glue heart-shaped image onto card board
Glue heart-shaped piece of leather to back
Punch holes all around the 3 layers of the heart
Thread needle with colored suede and sew layers together
Glue clasp onto back




Add a few trinkets to the front

When I purchased this heart, the image was printed in black and white.  I hand colored it with watercolor pencils.  I noticed that all of exatmo hearts are now colored.  Did they see mine?

Happy Valentine's Day my dear blogging Friends
I wish you love this Sunday, this Monday and always.
