Well hello there , sweet peas! Come on in and let's chat for a bit.
Grab yourself slice of fruit pizza. This is my oldest daughter's favorite dessert. She is adamant that it is a must at any family gathering. Lol.
It has been a slow lazy day. Just the usual Sunday. Visited the family . We always have Sunday dinner together . Dad was raking hay and mom and I sat on the porch watching the hummingbirds . Now I am back home ready to piddle the day away.
Have you seen the Fall/ Halloween decor in Dollar General and Dollar Tree? I have been watching several videos on Youtube to see what is available this year. I am very tempted to start pulling out fall decor right now. 😀
Last Sunday , I began a new Christmas cross stitch which is a freebie from Heidi_studio on Instagram .
It is called Candy Canes. Heidi designed several prim ornaments in 2009 and is so generously sharing them on Instagram.
For Merry Monday, I finished Noel from dear Heidi . So today I will stitch another of her sweet designs in her series. Thank you so much, Heidi.
I have picked Blackbird Designs " 1861 Antique Sampler" back up.
I just stitch on it for a few minutes each night. Slowly I am making progress.
I finished appliqueing my bee skep quilt so it will go in the hoop today.
Still working on my Easter Quilt. It is the closest large quilt to be finished. I am getting there. Lol.
WHAT'S THE PLANS FOR THE WEEK
Well I plan to continue with the Autumn SAL and finish the Halloween stitchery , "Pumpkins, Spiders, and Sly Black Cats" , that I shared last week- my goals are not too lofty.
Thank you so much for the sweet visit and as always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll

If happiness is the goal- and it should be- then adventures should be a priority.

You always seem to have such fun projects going. My DIL, who lives downstairs has decorated for Halloween already. She gets so excited for the fall and the oncoming holidays. I'm waiting till September 1st to get out my autumn decor and Halloween will have to wait till October.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Robin. My daughter has already pulled out her fall decor too. She is tempting me to do the same, but I will wait till October for Halloween- Well maybe. Lol.Thank you again for the sweet visit.
DeleteI am thrilled you are enjoying stitching my little prim ornaments. Where do you find the time yo get so much done? I stotch or quilt constantly but never get alot accomplished. Have a happy new week Melisa!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Heidi. I am loving them. I have an idea for a finish very similar to yours. I can not wait to finish them . Thank you for sharing them. Lol. I do not feel like I get a lot done, but others tell me I do. Have a blessed day.
DeleteYour stitchery projects are coming along great! Love the autumn block with the rake and leaves!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much,Kathy. I took it along with me today to work on as I was riding . It's a great car project. Have a lovely week.
DeleteYou certainly keep busy. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Jacqueline for the sweet visits and the kind words. They mean so much to me. Have a wonderful and blessed week. Hugs.
DeleteI am all for getting out the fall decorations! Sitting on the porch with your Mom watching hummingbirds sounds wonderful. How nice that you eat together each week! Your bee skep quilt is so, so cute. It has been years since I had a fruit pizza - sounds good right now!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing with us at To Do Tuesday!
Aah thank you for the sweet visit, Linda. It is very relaxing to be on the porch watching all the critters and chatting with family. More times than not I have a stitching or quilting project in hand too. Have a great week. I know you will be very busy.
DeleteLate summer with the sunflowers everywhere and produce ripening in the garden is the perfect lead-in to fall, isn't it? I love seeing your projects, Melisa. Love the bee fabric in the little quilt you're making, too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Diann. I do love the sunflowers and fresh fruit of late summer. Though the muggy heat can be rough. Lol. Happy quilting.
DeleteI am so tempted to do the Autumn SAL. Love all your newest stitcheries in addition to the WIP. August is perfect for sunflowers and bees. I am loving the cooler mornings and evenings.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Judy. The little charts will be here if you decide to join in anytime. I am hoping that we will have cooler days here soon. Have a wonderful week.
DeleteI love your autumn cross stitch project! So ready for fall things!!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Cheree. I am enjoying every stitch. I am so ready for fall too. I love everything about this season. Have a great week and happy quilting.
