Today is our seventh wedding anniversary. And this is what I made the dude.It's the 2001 Collectors Heart from Heart in Hand Needleart. I stitched it in the called for colors, substituting beachcomber for the (now retired) julep.
I sewed the pieces as a sort of flat pillow (there was no way I was hem stitching in my condition). I then attached it to a second piece of linen. I probably should have let them do that. Well, I didn't know they would until I got there. It came out a little lumpy in the end. I had them make a shadowbox. Some days I think it's cute. Some days I think it's attrocious.
Kind of like the dude. (Just kidding. I'm the anti-romantic. Really if I waxed poetic about my love for the dude he might vomit a little in his mouth. I know I would. And he certainly wouldn't believe me.)

Happy Anniversary!
I think it looks really cute, kinda primitive style.
(BTW your garden looks a lot better than mine!)
Happy Anniversary!

I agree with RedWitch - cute in a primitive way. Well done, especially with the injury.
Happy Anniversary to you both. Your heart looks great.
Happy Anniversary!!!
Happy (belated) Anniversary! My feeds are coming into my reader a few hours late, apparently. I like the way that your piece turned out. Just think of it as a lasting moment of your finger injury. ;)

And happy anniversary! Lots of wishes for many more no-puke-in-the-mouth anniversaries to come!
Awww you're soooo romantic. Happy anniversary.
Happy Anniversary! Our 8th is today :) And my brother's 13th is tomorrow. Mid-July is a great time to get married!
It's a pink puffy heart! Happy anniversary! I'm the anti-romantic too. BF knows I love him because I coo "goodnight, a##hole." I've kitted up La-d-da's "bushel and a peck" for him, but I know if I stitched and gave it to him he'd say "What is that? Was Best Buy closed?" even though he'd probably hang it over his desk.
I cracked up about the woman knitting the yeast molecule. Is she otherwise odd?
Happy Anniversary! Love the heart-looks great.
Happy Anniversary!!!
...knitting a yeast molecule...hrm. Must break out the graph paper...
Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary (belated). I love the heart, and what a great idea to make it three-dimensional in a shadowbox! Love that!
