Valentine Scratchings


Happy Valentine's Day!
Surprise, surprise...
today's scratchings are heart shaped.


However my favourite so far was scratched a couple of days ago.
I decided to do the cretan stitch
but make it higgledy-piggledy
and change all the proportions.
Now that is scratching!

  2. THAT is one of the reasons I love your work. Its so unconventional, eclectic and comforting. You imperfect stitch line is your own perfection.
    Happy Valentine's Day. Give the Rusty Pups an extra hug from me.

  8. Happy Valentines Day - your hearts are wonderful - and I especially like the Cretin stitch scratchings. I'm in a sort of 'random' mode these days and this stitch is perfect for that.
