From the heart
Oh goodness—what a week. Exciting things but I can’t tell yet. Hate that! But after the insanity of it all, some sewing. Oh, the therapy.
Even better, sewing for a cause. Melanie from Fiskars has set us up for some cool goodies. She’s got some of these fab tools to send to a lucky winner.
To win, click on this, this and this, then leave me a comment about your most favourite heart-shaped thing in the world. One lucky commenter will receive the goodies from Melanie!
Or here’s another way to help. This week, I’ll be selling a few pillows on Etsy, and all the proceeds will be donated to AHA and the BHF (half to each). The first one is this pink and green log cabin, and it can be yours here.

Fab pages Shimelle, I only discovered your website a couple of weeks ago but it’s fab, I’m loving the daily projects. My favourite heart shaped thing in the whole wide world is a piece of A4 paper which my daughter drew hearts all over in all different sizes and wrote I love you mummy in them. When she was very tiny and had only just learned to write and draw hearts!! so cute.

I love hearts. I have hearts all round my home. My favourite is hanging in a window on a piece of leather. It is a large shaped clear class heart my mother used to wear when I was little. She would come and kiss me goodnight and this heart would usually bang me on the nose as she bent down!

The walk through heart at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. Shown http://www.chicagotraveler.com/guide-to-chicago-museum-of-science-industry.htm scroll about 3/4 of the page down. I grew up in Chicago so the museum was one of the regular field trip places. As you’re walking through, there’s a stereo beating sound…it’s cool.

A heart-shaped cookie cutter that we use to cut out heart shaped sugar cookies, decorate, eat, and share the extras with our neighbors!
14 May 2007, 00:16
My favorite heart would have to be my fathers. He passed away of a heart attack when I was 11 yrs old and I’ve missed him every day since. He missed so much of my life, seeing me grow up, marry, have my son (his namesake but I am fortunate to have the memories I do. When I was 12, a group of us kids had a fundraiser where we turned our garage into a haunted house and charged admission. All the money raised went to the heart fund in memory of my dad. I still have the letter somewhere that they sent us for our $11 donation. That was a lot of money to us back then.
14 May 2007, 00:38
My favorite hearts are the valentines that my 4 daughters gave me for Valentines Day. They make me feel so loved!
14 May 2007, 02:28
My favorite heart shaped item is this little green and blue glass heart that I got a really long time ago… and oddly enough I am wearing it today. :)
14 May 2007, 04:39
My favorite heart would have to be the one on my Tiffany bracelet. Engraved on the heart is my son’s name and his birth date.
14 May 2007, 05:21
Heart-shaped cookies are always good, but I’d have to say that my favourite heart-shaped thing is a necklace which my grandad bought me when I was a little girl. He’s sadly no longer with us, but I’m so glad to have something he gave me to treasure forever.

Hi Shimelle – my favourite heart(s) are 4 metal ones that hang from our tree in the garden- one for each of us in the family. I see them everyday swinging in the breeze and feel blessed. x

Five or six years ago when my middle DD was about 5, her friend’s mum took the 2 girls to the paint it yourself pottery place. As Mother’s Day was approaching, they had a display the following week of the good stuff waiting to be collected, and there was a little heart shaped box, painted yellow with Mummy on the top in green which I admired. When Mother’s Day dawned, I had a little package, and it was, of course, that very box. xx
14 May 2007, 06:24
my favourite heart shaped thing is my mum’s heart – its not strong – and needs help – but it beats in the chest of the sweetest woman in the world and i love her with all MY heart !!!
14 May 2007, 06:33
My favourite heart is a smooth heart shaped topaz necklace that my then fiance gave me on our sugarmoon (our honeymoon BEFORE the wedding!) – I had to find a wedding dress that went with the necklace which caused a few raised eyebrows in dress shops and of course, it was just perfect on my perfect day
14 May 2007, 07:38
Hi Shimelle, this is a wonderful cause and one that means a lot to me because my Dad passed away from heart disease three years ago. Thanks for the reminder about how important heart health is.

A simple piece of paper from my 7 year old great niece that states, “Love me and I will love you too.”
14 May 2007, 09:42
...mine is in a mini book I made in rememberance of our little girl LilyGrace who was stillborn 10.4.04. It really is so special because it holds memories of the short time we had her with us, her little hand & foot prints & some of the plans we had made for her… Infact it was in creating that little book of memories that I stumbled across UK scrappers purely by chance & have been addicted to making books & scrapping ever since – it opened a whole new world to me & although it was very much not the world I had been expecting at 9 months pregnant I am so glad I found such a wonderful pastime…
14 May 2007, 09:52
i have a necklace with two heart charms on it that my mom gave me. i love it!
14 May 2007, 12:41
my favourite hearts would be little jestures that people all around you do.Helping open doors, helping the elderly across the street, smiles etc. So many wonderful people only have such a short time here so lets make it good while we are here by helping each other it costs nothing but a little time and love. our hearts are very small but they are very special.
14 May 2007, 13:08
My most favorite heart shaped thing is a Brighton bracelet my younger sister bought me last year for my birthday. I wear it almost everyday and it just reminds me of what a lucky girl I am to have such a wonderful sister.
14 May 2007, 14:24

Hi Shimelle,
Love how you have linked your heart theme to some great causes.
My very favourite heart shaped thing in the world is a little

heart shaped fav is my die-cut heart – my kids and I are constantly making projects with it – be it felt purses, heart petal flowers or cards!
14 May 2007, 16:54
My favourite heart shaped object is a little trinket pot made of fimo by my son when he was 4, he’s dyspraxic so it’s not quite as heart-shaped as it should be, but it was made with love and is proudly, if lopsidedly, on display. I hope your pillows make loadsamoney for your chosen charity. Love Sandy x
14 May 2007, 17:24
My fav heart shaped thing is a silver band with heart which holds my marriage certificate, it is a lovely reminder of who my heart belongs to !

My favorite heart shaped item is something my daughter made for me when she was 8 yrs. It was a matted picture of different colored hearts she cut out of paper machie(sp) and made a collage for me. I framed it and hung it on my bedroom wall.
14 May 2007, 18:12
My favourite heart shaped thing is my heart shaped memories of my mum. She died (most probably of a heart attack)on the 12th May 2000 so I found your links and stuff very appropriate.
14 May 2007, 19:17
My favourite heart shaped thing is a red marble heart given to me by my first love. It is a beautiful colour, smooth and the perfect size to curl your fingers around. Although I am very happily married to someone else and I haven’t seen him for over 20 years it still brings a smile to my face as it reminds me of young, summer puppy love. Wonder if he ever thinks abouit me?
14 May 2007, 21:18
My favorite heart shape thing is the paper heart my granddaughter made. It reminds me of the joys of being a little girl with no worries in the world except drawing hearts and flowers…and then learning to lean the heart on the side to make a fish! I love seeing the creativity bloom in my grandchildren!
14 May 2007, 23:25
Hi Shimelle, my fav heart shaped thing would be the gorgeous little post it notes that i get all the time from my dd… she hides them under my pillows and sticks them all over the place for me to find… they always say “I love you mummy”.. so cute and it always makes me smile…
15 May 2007, 02:53

my favorite heart shaped thing is a silver locket that my DH gave me years ago.
15 May 2007, 12:36
Goodness me, im back commenting your posts!
My favorite heart shaped thing in the WHOLE entire world is one of 2 heart pendants my mum bought the both of us when we moved, in light of something else happening. Made me smile months ago, and its still working! ((Though, the PE teachers and mr.robinson dont hold it in such high regard as I, sob. )) xx

Years ago my 2 oldest daughters made a plaster mold of their handprints (the molds were hearts). They painted them and after they were all done I took them to get framed. The framing cost me a bundle, but it was totally worth it – now they’re 11 and 12 and it’s so sweet to see their little 3 and 4 year old handprint masterpieces hanging on the wall! Now I just need to figure out how to get one made and displayed for my youngest daughter (now 5!)
15 May 2007, 14:20
my favorite heart shaped thing is my daughters white pjs, with pink hearts. i put the little white shorts on her last week and they were skin tight! i laughed so hard, but its sad that she is already so big.
15 May 2007, 15:58
Great cause Shimelle. My fave heart shaped thing of all time is a drawing of a heart made by my daughter full of all the reasons why she loves me :)
15 May 2007, 17:37
My son’s face is my favorite heart shaped thing. He has a heart shaped face that just begs for smooches!!
15 May 2007, 17:53
My favorite heart shaped thing would be a heart shaped cut out cookie made from my grandmother’s recipe with lots of pink icing. Yum!
15 May 2007, 18:09
My fave heart shaped thing is a photo I took of a tree with a heart carved in it – I spotted it in a carpark and luckily had my camera ready to snap it!!!

My fave heart isn’t actually heart shaped, but resides in a heart. It’s the artifical valve in my Mom’s heart that keeps her with us everyday. You can hear it when you are near her, it clicks, it’s one of my daughters most favorite sounds in the world. She says it’s her Mimi’s heart talking just to her!
17 May 2007, 02:56
My favourite heart was given to me by my middle son when he was around 3 years old. He made it at playgroup out of fimo, which he painted red & then strung with blue wool.
17 May 2007, 15:03
I think the most beautiful heart is my boyfriends heart. We’re now together for 11 years 5 years ago I became very ill and he kept having faith that everything would turn out oke one day. To me that’s amazing and when I want to thank him for all the time he took care of me, our house and animals during my illness he shakes his head and tells me that normal. And he tells me that it’s not him doing the work but his heart becaurse it’s so full of love for me.
I hope you understand my story, it’s hard writing english. Greetings Marieke – the netherlands.
20 May 2007, 16:10
It sounds strange but my fave heart is my own if I had not made steps to change my life style to look after my heart then I might not have much time left with my family and to look after my husband when he had his accident. In looking after my heart I have shown my children the way for them to look after theirs.
20 May 2007, 16:43
My favourite heart-shaped item is a pillow I made out of leftover silk from my wedding dress, with the same embroidery pattern that I sewed on the bodice of my dress. It is trimmed with the lace from the edge of my veil.
20 May 2007, 17:02
my favorite heart shaped thing in the who wide world is the heart shaped pan my cute hubby makes brownies and cakes in!:)
20 May 2007, 17:35
I thought I had already posted my comment but my favorite heart shape thing is the silver heart that my husband gave me on Christmas of 2005. It was the day that he proposed to me and I truly thought that was all I was getting and not an engagement ring. :) We have now been married for almost a year.
20 May 2007, 18:28
My favourite heart-shaped thing in the world is a beaded purse I recieved for christmas when I was very small. I have never used it as it is too small to fit notes or cards in, but cannot bear to throw it away.
20 May 2007, 23:17
My favorite heart-shaped thing was an idea for a painting I had while I was in college. It was an actual heart (not the shape) with wings and a dove taking it in flight. I still love that image.
21 May 2007, 00:42
An old tattered piece of paper with a fading red heart drawn on it in crayon that my daughter drew when she was 4. I still remember exactly what she said when she handed me that piece of paper, ” Here Mom I drewed you my love..” That was 12 years ago… Thanks for the memory Shimelle :)

The first heart thing I thought of was this locket my great-grandparents gave me when I was in grade school. I lost it on the playground. We went back and looked but never found it. I was so sad to loose it because it was from them. Sorry to be sad!
