LOVE YOU TOO

January 26, 2023 By Cathy Habermann 28 Comments

I’m not really sure which one of us said ‘love you’ 1st oh those many years ago (I think it was Bill), but I for sure remember that the response was & always has been ‘love you too’.

I felt like this was the perfect theme for this year’s Anniversary token. Life has been a bit of a roller coaster lately and this declaration & response has been a lifeline.

 

I also felt like it was the perfect time to gather all of the pictures and download links into one post – I’ve been sending you on a scavenger hunt all through my previous blogposts over the years!! 😉

 

Scroll through the photos & download the anniversary charts you are missing & enjoy. This year’s ‘Love You Too’ is at the bottom of the post!

Happy 35th Mr. HOD – here’s to many more!

 

2013 – Love You More

2014 – My Heart Leaps Up

2015 – Peace to My Heart

2016 – Be Mine

2017 – L-O-V-E

2018 – I Am Home

2019 – Love is Kind

2020 – Meant to Bee

2021 – Love You

2022 – Wear Love

 

2023 – love you too

 

 I will post a picture walk blog post in a few days to show you my finishing steps. I

In the meantime, enjoy the stitch – Cathy

Night Light NOTE: Cocoa & Grasshopper have identical symbols in the chart. 

The colors (brown & green) are used in distinctly separate areas of the chart & are easily discernible.

My sincere apologies for the charting mishap. 

Buttercup IS mentioned 2x in the color key intentionally.

5. Still working on those road trip snacks

Thank you to the shops that came & continue to support my design work as well as the fabric & thread dyers (& those that cut amazing shapes from wood 😉) that I am fortunate to work alongside. 

A big thank you to Yarn Tree for once again hosting Market!

I can’t believe that I finally get to share this s I can’t believe that I finally get to share this special project❤️ - the mystery market release is revealed!

‘I’m New Here’ - not just a baby sampler, we’re calling it a Baby Story - a sweet saying that I was inspired to write not long after we found out that we were going to be grandparents! 

The small ornament is perfect for the newly born- I’ve included alternative skin tone palettes for those tiny tootsies as well as an alphabet and numbers for personalization. 

Many thanks to @chantelles141 for working behind the scenes with me to create the Baby on Board finishing boards. The DMC palette is also easy to customize. 

We did not share any of the design details before market and asked shops to ‘do their thing’ - a great many came home with charts for you!! We thank them for their support!
