Dip It in Glitter! Monday Makings

Good Monday afternoon and welcome. You know what the say "When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and sparkle all day!"  
 Come on in and grab you a cup of tea or coffee? What's on your  agenda for today?
 Well I  have started a new quilt - appliqueing some blocks. The little snowman just received  his eyes ( lol he has to see) .
 Still some embroidery work needs to be done- He does need twiggy little arms and a bit of embellishing on the scarf and toboggan . And then I am going to be off and running with   some scraps to applique a 2nd jar block. 

This year I hope to be a little more organized in my list making (Yes , I am a list maker) .

Last week I joined Linda at Texas Quilt Gal for To Do List Tuesday. 
Let's look at last week's agenda

My to do list last week 

✅1. To work on a new saltbox house

✅2. Bind Christmas Time

✅ 3. Work on Winter applique

✅2. 4. Redwork Thursday.

🇽5. Stitch on a Basket design. 

Well I did ok. 

This week's To Do List is"

1. Stitch on Basket design

2. Work on Applique for Tablescrap Challenge

3. Applique RSC Chicken block

4. Redwork Thursday

5. Quilt Winter Wall hanging. 

 

One of my finishes last week was Winter Stamp.

 It is the same size as the Autumn Stamp . 

Since the little stand that I use for Autumn Stamp was already in use with the Frosty Stamp, ....

I decided to fully finish it on a Dollar Tree tray that I painted white.  The tray can be found in the craft section at Dollar Tree. 

A Dollar Tree tray for finishing. 

If you are interested click out the links below for the Winter Stamp. I hope to create a Spring and Summer one of the same size. 

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 links because of the devices I use. I apologize for that.  These are images of the chart and not downloads.  And I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and stitching my little designs.

  6. Melisa, these are absolute darling. I've been stitching the Prim series and love how quickly I can finish the cross stitch part at least. Thanks so much for sharing your talent.

  7. I have never heard the Dip it in Glitter saying either. Love it! I have a new laptop and am unable to see your links. I'm sure it is operator error on my end. I'll keep working on it. I love the little stamp designs.
