Secret letter - Butterfly chain stitch

My secret letter in hieroglyphics

All I can reveal:

My dear.................................

               so much love!



This was my first try for the butterfly chain stitch.

And then I had another idea.
I  stitched a fern as they grow in abundance around our house in the French Vosges
and some even migrated into our German garden - probably by our soles.



And how I learned to damp-stretch in Karen Ruanes button class - I did so. And it happend that the colour just ran away the handdyed thread not being colourfast.
I am not sad about it as I wanted to paint it after stitching anyhow.
