A Peaceful Sunday and a Christmas Freebie

And a very good morning to you! 🤗 Happy Sunday, my friends.

 Yesterday was such a lovely day. Not only was it nice and warm outdoors, but  I spent most of the day working on Christmas ornaments as I listened to Bing Crosby singing the Christmas classics. My daughter said "Mom , Halloween is not  even here yet" . But Christmas  will be no here in no time.  

I have pulled out a couple of projects to work on for this Slow Stitching Sunday ; one of which is my small Halloween churn Dash.  I pieced this one last year. I hope to finish it by the end of the week. 

       

Later I will finish the Christmas pinkeep  called "Dreaming of Snow" that I started yesterday. It will be a future freebie.  Are you dreaming of snow yet? 

Speaking of Christmas and freebies. I wanted to share with you my newest ornament that I finished called "Peace on Earth" . I should have just named it "Peace" though.

      

  I stitched this one the other night in a few short hours .  I used 7 floss colors including DMC 815, white, black, 781, 895, 647,and  898  . 

I finished it using what I had in my stash. I may change out the bow later , but for now this will do. 

If you would like to stitch, Peace on Earth ,  please check out the images below, but first read my little note about my charts . This explains about getting the charts. 

NOTE: Normally I have been able to create links to the charts and instructions which were in JPG form. For some reason, recent updates on Google Docs. has prevented me from doing that and I am not able to create a pdf without having to deal with storage issues.  Until I can figure out how to upload with the links , I am only able to put the images on the blog . Many dear stitchers say they right click, save the image and then print.  I think some have copied and pasted it to a Word document that they can print off as well. I hope you are able to find a way to enjoy this chart. You will have to click each page to save .  I am doing my best to get back to my normal method of sharing . Thank you so much for your patience and understanding and for all of the helpful tips and ideas. 

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 . I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and for stitching my little designs.

I am going to keep my ramblings short today. 

Have a very lovely day, and I hope that you are able to take some time for yourself and enjoy something that you love. 

As always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
