This little heart is the clover drop heart pattern from Be~Stitched. It was tatted in DMC Perle' size 8 #3689. It will count as Motif #10 for the 25 Motif Challenge.
That's right! I do heart you and all my other
wonderful friends online and offline...LOL!
Thank you for being wonderful and supportive,
fun and encouraging, and most of all,
Thank YOU for being YOU!
Through the internet I have been able to become
acquainted with wonderful people
(tatters and non-tatters alike).
From all over the USA to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Korea,
Australia, Canada, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Malaysia,
Germany, Singapore, Ireland, England, France...
...you name it...
I've "been there" and visited with some wonderful,
creative people like you who have enriched
my life and kept me company and taught me about
your cultures and intelligent and generous creativity
through your blogs or emails or both.
Now, as to my off-line life, today is my friend's birthday....hmmmm....I am low on the funds with which to buy a gift. She has mentioned to me that she wants to learn to tat someday so maybe I'll give her this heart so she'll have something from me AND maybe it will stoke her desire to learn to tat a little bit enough to prompt her to actually learn....bwah ha ha ha (rubbing hands together) we'll see if my evil plan works...LOL! What do you think?
Thanks for visiting my blog and have a fabulous Friendship Day and a lovely week in general. Comments are always appreciated. I read each and everyone of them.
Caio for now!

oh dear now that I've seen the various mini nicks i'm so tempted to call you gummy!!! =) since for some reason in PR everyone calls gum "chic-lay" the brand of gum)
Hi Verito! So glad you had time to stop by, you busy girl, you! I'm so glad you introduced me to friendship day. Thank you for the compliment on the heart. :)
Oh, Clyde, thank you! What a very sweet wish! I love the thought of always having my shuttles full of HDT's!
Thank you, Marie Antoinette. I know this sounds sappy, but that is about the sweetest thing anybody ever said to me. I think I'm tearing up! LOL! No, really, I'm not being sarcastic!
Hello, Constance of Rochambeau, I've enjoyed your amazing artistry in your blogging. Thank you!
That's funny, Wicked Tats, because
chiclets are a brand of gum here. It's a really OLD brand of gum and hard to find anymore...LOL! Thanks for stopping by!
Your heart is lovely! I was sifting through my fabric cabinet yesterday looking for a long lost piece of lace when I came across several old tatted pieces. I just love them! Happy to have made a new friend on this the day after International Friendship Day. Blessings... Polly (Illinois)
Polly, I do hope you post about your old tatted pieces of lace. What a treat that would be! Thanks for the visit!
Pretty pretty heart!

Hi, Grizzly Mountain Arts, thank you for the compliment on my pale pink heart.
Thank you, Nikki, I think this will be the last summer for that Tshirt and then the tatting will be recycled onto some other shirt, maybe a pink one next.
Hi Mandy, I just learned of frienship day in July from Verito. She's from Argentina.
Thank you Quiltdude. Good to have you visit again!
Hi, Ais! The heart was really easy to do to and I have a link to the pattern right under the picture if you ever wanted to tat it.
Nancy, thank you so much for the compliment. So glad to have made you laugh!
Becky, thank you so much. I'm glad to have a friend like you. You're such a talented writer and it's fun to read your blog.
What a sweet heart! And maybe tatting lessons to go along with the heart for the perfect birthday present???
Thank you!!

And a Happy IF Day to you! Wait... IF day? That just sounds a little iffy to me! LOL (it doesn't take much to amuse me)
Your heart is magnificent! You always amaze me with your tatting talent. You must be a very patient person for such a delicate art.

Hi!
Thank you for your sweet comment in my blog! *big hug*
Oh what a great idea to have a Happy International Friendship Day!
I hope your day was filled with happiness and sunshine :)
Unfortunately it´s raining here in Sweden..we have had some really hot and synny days so I guess some rain is good for us..(hmm)
Take care,
Mia
Happy Friendship Day to you as well, though I'm a little late! What a lovely idea, and I adore the heart you've tatted to go with it.
I'm aiming to try tatting in the autumn. That's the plan!
Happy international friendship day to you too, and hoep your friend had a lovely birthday - she would love the tatted heart for sure!
OH, how sweet, TattingChic!! I didn't know about this special day. I think it's wonderful to have a day set aside for friendship! Thank you for the gift of your beautiful heart...and not just this gorgeous tatted one you've made us, but also your real, beautiful heart inside. I am so glad to have met you in recent months and call you my friend! :o) ((BIG HUGS))
Hi Thimbleanna, what a great idea!
Oh, thank you, Rosemary. I just learned about it myself from a friend in Argentina.
Thank you so much, Chris from Tutti Chic.
LOL! You are funny, Sherry from Edie Marie's Attic. I guess we could take it one step further "What IF" Day! LOL! Thank you for the compliment on the heart.
Hi Mia from Lilla Blanka. Rain is a good thing once in a while, it's true. Thank you for your visit and very nice comment.
Hello Lace Threads, thanks for the comment about the heart. That is wonderful news you plan on learning to tat in the fall! I remember you mentioning wanting to learn before, but now there's a plan. That's great to hear! Keep me posted.
Hi Natasha Burns, thank you, I hope so. You're sweet. :)
Hi Tracy! That is such an incredibly sweet thing to say. I appreciate that so much. I also appreciate your friendship. You're a sweetie!
Happy international friendship day my blogging friend. Wow, hallmark must have missed that one.
-Mya
How adorable is that heart! I wish I would have known it was Friendship day on friendship day! Oh well, I'll have to mark my calendar next year ; )
Hi Mya, yes, Hallmark missed the boat with friendship day...LOL!
Hello, Shabby Addict, and thank you! Maybe next year you can celebrate it. Though, it's never too late in the year to tell our friends we love them.
Even before seeing your beautiful heart I knew you had a beautiful heart. Happy International Friendship day to you to. Thanks for your very kind message re: my kitty. Missed you and happy to be back.xo
Hi La Belette Rouge, thanks for the very sweet comment. Good to have you back.
I think giving her that heart would be a beautiful gesture :)
rue
Yes it is funny they decide it is an International Friendship Day, lol. But it is ok, we can never have too many friendship days though.
And by the way a lovely heart you tatted.
Awwww...Thanks Rue.
Hi Dantatter! Thanks for visiting and for the comment! I'm glad you're my online friend.
Your heart is gorgeous!
Happy International Friendship Day! Well, a few days late, but they should really call it International Friendship MONTH, don't you think? What a wonderful concept! And ever the more relevant these days with the world wide web. So to you, my friend, happy friendship month from Japan! Thank you for the beautiful, beautiful heart. It surely is exquisite and wondrous to behold. And congratulations on your latest win! I'm especially happy for you, since you were really eyeing this one!
Here's to many more happy projects and posts!
Thank you so much, Kathy J!
