Do you remember some time back when I had posted 2 naked hearts for one of the classes I'll be teaching? I had finally started embellishing them. It had taken me around 2 months to really dream up what was to be for both of them. I finsihed the pink and white one and moved onto the red and white one. I embroidered my first peacock, who i thought was very dorky looking, then I adjusted his eye a bit and was a little more pleased, but still, much to learn in the way of making peacocks. Next time i won't outline his body in black that's for sure! Anyway! Last Sunday 11-23 while shopping, I had taken them with me while looking for a few embellishments. I lost them. Yep you read it right. I lost them. I didn't realize it until I got home with dinner and my boyfriend and I were about to sit and watch a movie and eat. As the movie was playing and i was picking at my food, I instinctivly went to reach for my red and white heart to work on it and then I couldn't find it. Well we looked everywhere. Tore the apartment down, looked in the bags and in my purse and emptied everything 6 or 7 times, checked the freezer and the refridge, checked all over the car and found nothing. We retraced our steps back to Joann and the parking lot... still found nothing. I left photos of each heart with my name, phone number and that I'd pay a cash reward for them if found. A week later and still nothing. That night, even though I felt completely horrible and like my world was coming down, I sat and whipped up 3 new hearts on the machine. I managed to fully embellish one to take as my class sample for Tuesday. The store had been asking for a class sample and if it's going to be a January class, people should at least have a good month to look at it ya know? So I raced against the clock and finished the new pink and white one. It's almost a replica of the old one but it's all I could manage given I only had a day to work on it.
I brought it to the store and the owner is out for a week, but the one woman who works there is so sweet and was very flattering even saying she'd be signing up for the class! I feel so unworthy or something lol! Like it's so simple I feel so silly when I get compliments, even though I agree they're beautiful I feel like anyone can do it! Oh well, overall I am thrilled I got them a class sample, but I sure do miss my old ones.
Here are some photos...
These are the original 2 that I recently lost, the pink and white one was finished. The red and white one was in the works...
The 3 new hearts I made. I know the top left one is way too busy. It'll surely be a 'what not to do' piece ;)
Class sample finished...
Close up of the fully open roses, they were fun!
I miss my old hearts but I really hope whoever found them will treasure them as much as I do...

These are really pretty. Glad that you are doing something you love.
So sorry to hear you lost those two hearts. I wonder what happened to them! It looks like the new ones are just as beautiful if not more! I sure wish I could take your class! I want to learn to do this so badly so I can put my little bits of tatting on them! :)
The old ones were very pretty, but the new one you turned in for a sample was also pretty. I'd like to see what you did with the other two.
LOL little do you know: you have seen what i did with the other two... they're undressed :( I haven't had a moment to work on them since i made them. I had to hurry up, whip up the one and since i got that one finished i never looked back. I have a stack of hearts that are just waiting to get all dolled up! Perhaps in 2020 i'll have 5 minutes haha! i jest :) But really, i hope to get my stack of hearts done soon, just for my own self, ya know? Cheers!
