Mistletoe and wine...oh wait! no, that's holly!

Good afternoon one and all,
 
How are we doing today? the weather here is grey and miserable and making it impossible to get any decent light to photograph cards! So rather than share this morning's project, I thought I would show you these little hearts that I've made.
 
I made one last year for my mum - although a slightly different shape heart and she loved it and then everyone who came to the house over the festive period said how much they liked it and could I make them one. Well, a year down the line, I've tweaked the design slightly and made a matching Holly version and so half a dozen of these little hearts will be winging their way to various family members and friends as part of their christmas presents.
Cross stitched on 16 count blue aida they are finished with some beads and organza ribbon. They took about 6 hours each to make and I am now a little bit sick of the sight of them lol!
 
 
However, if you too would like one, I made a few extra's and they can be found on my etsy store here.
 
I would like to enter these into the following challenges (I hope its ok with them not being cards)
CRAFT - Use Fabric
Allsorts - It's a gift
 
Until next time, thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!
