Several years ago, I taught myself to crochet a heart:
I was really proud of this little achievement!
I turned the crochet heart into a brooch by sewing on a bar pin.
Then I incorporated the crochet heart brooch on a greeting card. My literal way of saying, "I give you my heart" and sent lovingly to friends going through some tough times.
It's not the kind of card that's easy to send but absolutely necessary. Because friends should be there even in life's low times: sickness, loss, and grief. And for the recipient, a small gesture like this can turn their day from blah to TADA!
Here are some recent cards that I made that include the crochet heart brooch:
 |
| A little bit of collage to decorate the card |
 |
| A series of hearts made from a paper punch |
 |
| A sentiment written in brush lettering |
After reading the card, they can pin the crochet heart brooch to where they can see it often -- to remind them that they are loved, thought about, and prayed for.
If any of you, my dear readers, are experiencing a difficult season in your life, I am sending you a wish that you be enveloped in strength and that you overcome this with grace.
