It is a magnificent Monday! Hello, dear friends . How are ya'll doing? It has been a busy ,busy day - just like I like it. I am usually here piddling around the house by myself on Mondays- my hubby calls it "Me Time Monday " . So what have I been up to today? Cleaning, sewing and a bit of puttering, but today hubby was off from work. Did that stop "Me Time Monday"? Oh , no! So he has been pressure washing the house. I have been moving things around and working on gardening and sewing projects throughout the day .
I thought I would share some recent projects that I have worked on in the last couple of weeks. I have been doing really good on staying on my rotation. I think I need 3 star stickers.⭐⭐⭐. Lol I usually try to spend 15 to 30 minutes on a themed project for the day.
Here is my rotation
Merry Monday- A Christmas project
Tomato Tuesday - a tomato themed project
Tiny Tuesday- a tiny stitch. ( My friend Christina from IG started this Tuesday theme)
Witchy Wednesday- A Halloween stitch
Thankful Thursday- a Thanksgiving stitch or a free stitch
Fall Friday- An Autumn Stitch
Stars and Stripes Saturday- A patriotic stitch
Sampler Saturday- A sampler
Santa Sunday- A Christmas stitch.
Do you have a rotation ? I would love to hear about it.
A couple of weeks ago on Tomato Tuesday, I completed Heart in Hand's "Tomato Tart" . This chart was gift from my dear friend, Joan. We have been stitching tomato themed projects on Tuesday. I know I have a little tart pan that it might fit in but have not located it yet.

I also began a new Annie stitch. Dorothy and Alma are all stitched now Annie and Edna need to make their appearance. This is going to be a patriotic piece.
I’ve just got to make a tomato soon!! And a strawberry! I love all of them.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much. I hope you do make a tomato and strawberry pinkeep soon. I hope you share it. Have a great week and happy stitching.
DeleteLoved finding out what you watch while you stitch. Haven't watched Hart to Hart since it's been on. Love Murder She Wrote. Finished watching season 3 of Scarecrow and Mrs. King (4th season isn't out :( ).
ReplyDeleteI don't have a rotation because there are projects for others that I want to do, so there are time contraints on those.
Blessings!
Aah thank you so much, Donna. I usually watch the older shows every night as I stitch if I am not watching Flosstube, but assigning a stitch to a tv show does keep me focused. Lol. I haven't seen Scarecrow and Mrs. Kind in years. It is not on our channels. I am going to see if it is on Netflix or Amazon prime. Thank you for reminding me about this show. Lol It was a good one.
DeleteHow interesting to have a stitching rotation! Your cross stitch projects are amazing! I start out with a plan but often deviate quickly from it!
ReplyDeleteLol that does happen to me often, Terry even with quilting. I would love to be able to work on one project but my mind does not work that way. Lol. Thank you so much for the sweet visit.
DeleteYou have been a busy crafter! Each one of your projects looks fabulous, Melisa. It definitely sounds like your rotation is working for you. I don't use a rotation, but I do write out a list of goals that I want to accomplish with my stitching each month. Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you , Robin.When I 1st started stitching I was very faithful to my rotation. I wish I was still good about that. Every now and then I stray but here lately I have been good. I like making goal lists too. Of course , I always love hearing what you are up to.
DeleteIt's Tuesday and I woke up to light snow which is getting thicker and sticking to everything now. Guess I'll have brown tips on my hosta and roses, etc. It's just below freezing and I hope my plants in my greenhouse will be okay. It's about 45 degrees inside it. I put plants in there until the end of May when I can plop them in the ground. No tomatoes yet but I have some Salvia, Catmint, Butterfly Weed and a little green pepper. They look fine but I'm sure they're feeling the chill. I usually watch Poirot or my You Tube channels while stitching. I didn't watch Poirot when it was on tv because the commercial snippits didn't look appealing. I love it now and have probably watched all the episodes at least 3 times. I also love Midsomer Murders. Again I've watched them over and over. The first time it was all about the murders (never a single murder) but the second time through I enjoyed the English cottages and gardens more. I'll be stitching or quilting some table runners I made. I also have a stack of unfinished project bags. Take care
ReplyDeleteOh I hope your roses and hostas did not get nipped by the cold. It dropped into the low 30's early this week and dad had to run the frost protection for his crops. I brought in lots of my plants, but decided not to cover the hostas. I know my lemon balm is not looking great but it usually does well. I hope you keep me updated on your garden. I am not familiar with those tv shows but am going to see if I can find them online. I am always looking for a great show to watch as I stitch. Have a great week and weekend and hope you get a lot accomplished.
DeleteYou are very diligent in working on all your lovely projects. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much,Tammy. I have been trying to stay busy even if I just get a bit completed. I figure eventually it will be done one stitch at a time. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you again for the sweet visit and comment
DeleteLove it all! You always have so many gorgeous pretties on the go. The little Love To Quilt pretty is a pretty stitchery. Love the fabrics you are using to border it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kim. I try to stay busy. I wish I could just work on one project and get it completed, but so many projects call me name. Lol . Have a lovely weekend, dear and happy quilting.
DeleteI like your idea of each day a theme. Good idea. Your little baskets quilt is my favorite this week, but I like all of your work. Thanks for joining Design Wall Mondays, I look forward to seeing your blog linkup. Hugs, Judy
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Judy. You are so very kind. I always enjoy seeing what you are up to as well. You are very inspiring and goodness there are so many projects that I want to do especially after seeing everyone else's projects. Lol. Happy quilting.
DeleteMelissa, you amaze me with all your beautiful crafting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Kim. Crafting sure brings me a lot of joy ; I just wish I had more time to complete all that I want to do. Lol. Thank you for the sweet visit and comment.
DeleteThank you so much, Jacqueline. You are always so kind and I appreciate your sweet comments. Hope you have a lovely week.
