A Tangled Heart

I left my sewing machine sitting out last night ... big mistake.

When I woke up this morning, I found my darling and intrepid kitty had found a new toy.

Every bit of thread on the spool was pulled off -- tangled thread stretched back and forth across the room.

Every little bit.

As I was cleaning up the mess, trying not to trip on the nearly invisible thread, I came across this tangled heart.

And when my kitty wanted to cuddle ... I let her.

Needles and Hearts ...

I've been playing around with "altered clothing" ideas for a while ...

This morning it was a pair of old fleece pants that I was trying to remake into arm warmers for my daughter.

As I got ready to sew a new seam, I glanced down at the stray thread that had found its way onto the fabric ...

Wouldn't you know it? A perfect heart!
