First of all...I finished both hearts. The red heart got framed and is already with its new owner. I stitched it for my dear Father in Law who was very happy with it. He plans to hang it up next to his bed.
The heart is displayed in the window of my local needlework shop until it's ready to be shipped to the Donna to be part of the "Stitching for a Cure" Cancer project. I will send it to her soon as I have finished an angel tree topper for the very same project. Miss Millie (the owner of our local shop) was most happy to be able to display it until then. :)
Both hearts are stitched in honor of my Father in law, who is not only one of the most lovely persons one can think of, but who suffers from Cancer. Dad fell in love with this design when he saw me stitching the ornament and chose the color for his heart himself.

The most difficult thing is to award others for an award. OR an award has had already such a travel that it's hard to find persons who hadn't had it....OR...there are SO many blogs to choose from. It's not an easy task. But never the less ...I nominated the following twp people for having "lovely blogs" which I love to read.

And then there are 2 "sorta" finishes. I call them finishes because for these bigger projects finishing a page is for me a mile stone.

Gabi, your hearts are beautiful (just like you!). Congrats on the finishes.
You're most welcome for the award :)
I'm really do enjoy watching your WIPs come to life.
Beautiful hearts! What a nice thing to give one of them to your father. And you have some great WIPs going. You're a very brave soul because they look so stitch intensive, but beautiful.
