2026 Love Parade- A Parade of Previous Valentine Freebies

Put on your hat and mittens and let's head out to the parade!

Hip! Hip Hooray! Yep, it is parade day!

Wait a minute ; we do not have to go outdoors to view this parade for it is a parade of previous freebies that I have shared over the years. So grab a mug of hot cocoa , sit back in your comfy chair and put up your feet. I sure would be as pleased as punch if you would join me as I stroll down memory lane. I hope you enjoy!!!

Tiny Love House- Tiny House Freebie

Happy Tuesday, dear friends.

Did you know that today is National Carrot Cake Day? Oh yum! What I wouldn't give to have a large slice of carrot cake dripping with cream cheese icing right now. Hee! Hee! Last year , I shared my Carrot Cake recipe which I always prepare for Easter. It is a family favorite.

Of all my cake pans, the carrot cake always seems to bake the best in my Nanny's old Bundt pan; I believe it is a magical cake pan blessed by my Nanny. 🤗

I have many fond memories of her baking Lemon Bundt cakes using this pan. Her icing was always homemade and lip smacking good. I have yet to find her recipe, but I will continue the search through her recipe collection.

Do you have a family favorite cake recipe?

Today is "Tiny Tuesday " stitching day for me. My dear friend, Christina on Instagram started this years ago, and I have stitched teeny pieces ever since. Hi, Christina! 😘❤

I will begin my March Tiny House. But first let me show you February's "Tiny Love House".

Tiny Love House is a little pink House surrounded by hearts- so simple, but so cute- well at least in my eyes.

Tiny Love House has the same border as my January's "Tiny Winter's Day House. "

If you missed January's Tiny House, just click on the link below to visit the post with the chart and information.

Tiny Winter's Day House

My goal is to stitch 12 houses. They will all have the same border in the same color which is DMC 898. All of my "tiny houses" will be finished the same with a bit of fabric and lace. I shared a finishing tutorial in my January 13th post along with the Tiny Winter Day House.

Supplies gathered for finishing

If you are interested in stitching this piece, just grab , the images. For printing tips, refer to the post Tips for Printing which has loads of tips from my sweet friends.

🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

Hopefully by the year's end, I will have a dough bowl full of teeny, tiny, seasonal houses- that's the goal at least.

Well, I better pick up my needle and thread and get to work. Do you have any special projects in the works today?

Remember to take a little time for yourself and do something that you love . You deserve it! 🤗

Warm Winter Wishes and lots of hugs and ...

As Always...

Happy Stitching and Quilting,

y'all
