YOU HAVE MY HEART

January 31, 2025 By Cathy Habermann 8 Comments

You Have My Heart

 

I was looking around the house, picking out pieces of ‘Habermann marriage memorabilia’ to include in this year’s Anniversary Token photograph.

I have pretty clear memories of the silver tray – it was a wedding gift (it was the 80’s…I think it was a required gift).

The card standing up in the background is a 1-year Anniversary card from my sister (a row of paper houses…she knows me well).

The 2 metal love birds…well, this resulted in a 20-minute conversation between Bill & I trying to figure out where & when that we bought them!! I do remember what happened: Bill liked them & walked out of the gift shop – no birds in hand. I went back in & bought them, wrapped them up for a Christmas gift – no easy way to get out of the obvious joke here 😉

I guess since we have reached #37 in the Anniversary timeline, we are allowed to forget a few of the lesser details!

 

Please enjoy ‘You Have My Heart’.

Something new for this year, we are offering a finishing kit for sale on the website for the heart shape. The kit includes 2 laser cut mat board hearts & step by step written finishing instructions.

A heart template is included in the chart if you wish to cut your own mat boards or finish as a sweet pillow.

    Thank you for this sweet heart design. Also happy anniversAry to you love birds. We also received a
    Round silver tray for our wedding cake the day we were married 11/3/1973 engraved with the date. That was one of the best decisions of my life – to marry this man I love more every day that passes!

I chose my own Top 9 for 2025❤️ Starting top left I chose my own Top 9 for 2025❤️

Starting top left to right:

- another needlework market, another sweet little bug - my fav part of Ladybug Picnic? - those feet 🤣
- I over-fertilized the strawberries - thanks for loving my 13” produce 🍓 
- Friends. It’s what makes this job so much fun❤️
- This was the inaugural greenhouse season - our zinnia game was strong 🌺 
- Our pumpkin game was a little stronger 🎃 
- Thank you Joseph Chilton Pearce for this fabulous quote 🎨 
- I love that we are a Special Olympics family 🏅 
- Home Sweet Home - it was fun helping a friend create an original concept class with this brand new design 🪡
- Stand Up For Santa - I love seeing so many stitchers try a new finish 🎅

It was very difficult to pick just 9 moments from this past year - I look forward to 2026 and hope the choices are just as plentiful a year from now❤️

Thank you!🪡
