Autumn's Saltbox- A Fall Freebie and a Little Christmas Treat.

 Cock a Doodle Doo! Rise and Shine , my sweet friends!!! 

This is little stitch is from Hands on Design and Priscilla Blain. 

  I am so glad that we are friends because I have a  little confession to make. I did something last night.😳 I know some of you are going to roll your eyes and shake your head with a smile on your face, but ssssh don't tell anyone but ....    I turned on the Christmas music last night.  Lol. 😁😳😃  I know... I know. I promise I am  not jumping the holidays . I just wanted to relax. That's my story and I am sticking to it! Lol  . Soooo  with a click on Youtube my toes were  a tapping, and I was a singing off tune with joy in my heart with   Nat King Cole , Frank Sinatra and oh yes! Elvis. Do I get a reprieve with the revelation that I was working on a   little Christmas stitching too? Aaah ! Come on - join the dark side😂😆😇😜 and listen to Christmas music before October. I want tell.   Lol.  

Ok I know.  Why am I talking about Christmas music when it is Pumpkin Tuesday!    

So Happy Pumpkin Tuesday , punkins!

Rosie's Pumpkins - A 2020 Fall Freebie found here on the blog. 

             

 My pumpkin stitch for today is Autumn's Saltbox.

 It is named after my daughter.  A crisp  white house sits amid a yard filled with pumpkins. Of course, I had to add my crows and Midnight, a childhood kitty that I once had. 

The leaves have turned on the tree. 

This is a small measuring. 69 x62 and on 14 count aida that would measure about  4 7/8" x 4 3/8". 

                   

If you are interested, please check out my little pdfs below and the little disclaimer .

Many of you know , but I always like to leave this little disclaimer.  

I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding that I  have to put each page on separate pdf downloads because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.

The mischief in me is screaming "Post a Christmas stitch too!!!  " Okee Dokee . Will do ". I might just get one of you  singing off tune with  me and  ole ' Blue Eyes tonight. Sooo... Here is a little Christmas stitch to tempt you.

 It is called "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" . I chose a certain color scheme for a tree idea I have, but you could stitch it in your favorite colors.   After I stitched my Christmas boxes, I decided I wanted them to have some polka dots so being the lazy stitcher that I am I just stitched in some white stitches over my previous stitches.😃 I didn't chart the polka dots , but you could add them if you like. 

 I haven't FFOd mine yet , but I will post when I do.  ( Can you see how close to the edge I stitched?  I am cutting it close for FFOing. lol . I just love to use those scraps though. )

It has been a delightful visit, my friends. I sure hope you will come back soon. I have 2 other Christmas stitches like this one that uses the same colors. I hope to post them in the future, and of course, I am always dreaming of saltboxes. Have a very blessed Autumn day and as always...

Happy Stitching, ya'll
