Courtesy Pattern : CP 77 - With All My Black Little Heart Pin Cushion

 CROCHET PATTERN

With All My Black Little Heart Pin Cushion "There's nothing I can do,  my heart is chained to you and I can't get free... Look what this love's done to me" ~Apocalyptica Valentine's Day is my least favorite holiday...  it always has been. I have never been one of those Princess Bride/Stardust type of girls. No, I guess I am more of the Severus Snape - "Always" type.. so of course, my Valentine gift will be just a tad more on the dark and broken side.  That side that says 'A day without you, tightens the heart with the pain of grey, awaiting your return.'  **Apologies for the inconsistancies with putting out free and premium patterns.  I have been dealing with an illness which causes me issues, which can be as unpredicible as they are vapid.    ✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦⋆✦
