Default Happy Dance

A friend's parents are having their 60th anniversary this year. I
didn't have enough time to make something really spectacular, but when I
opened my Cross Stitch Gold magazine last month, there was a lovely
filigree heart that was a quick stitch. Then I made it even quicker by
using a pink variegated floss instead of the multiple colors used in the
model.

I added their names, 60 years, and Diamond on the bottom. Once it's
framed, I'm going to glue a couple of small "diamond" rhinestones next
to the word Diamond, and contemplate whether I want to park a larger
"diamond" on the center diamond shape in the middle of the heart.

Please show us a picture of it when finished.
It is our 60th in November this year.

If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace
happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

Enjoy every moment of your life...there is no second chance.
