"Looking Within"
What if I put the key in the door? What if I turn the key? What if I actually look within to see what is there? Do I hesitate to open the door or do I turn the key and hope for wonders and magic. I'm on the side of opening it - of looking within to see what is there. I may like it, or I may not like it - but how will I know unless I look?
This heart is 5-1/2" long x 4-3/4" at its widest. For some reason I am drawn to rose and green these days. Perhaps it is the time of the year, perhaps I'm just becoming a romantic.
The back is embroidered felt -- I love working with felt, don't you?
And here I'm sending along x's and o's just for each of you.

Oh my, Penny, I believed you would do something entirely different with the heart shape, and you certainly didn't disappoint! Every one of your pieces always evokes emotion, and to me that is true art. This is so *very* lovely!
