It's a Beautiful Day.

Time to Sparkle and Shine ! Good morning , yall and Happy Monday!  

Look at this quilt of leaves on the ground. 

The Bradford pear tree is almost bare. 

Aren't the colors of the leaves glorious? 

I finished the embroidery on my Santa quilt. This is a design by Cheri Payne.It will be going into the hoop very soon. Thank you ,dear Joan. Hugs.

A little stack of Christmas quilts. 



Santa Mug Day happened on Saturday. Eeeh! I pulled out 2 totes of Santa mugs . Not all are on display yet. 


A few stacked on a cake stand . 

Santa cookie jars and lots of little mugs. I even pulled out my raggedy celloid Santa ornaments and tucked them into some of the mugs. 

A few mugs are nestled on a plate stand until I decide their final placement. 




It's time to write out my weekly goals. This is the week before last's list. 



Did I Get er' Done?   Well.... Last week's goals were: 
🧵Work on Easter Quilt
🧵 Work on Autumn SAL embroidery. I finished Week  2's embroidery work. 



Joy at Days Filled with Joy blog is so generously  hosting an Autumn SAL. She is providing a portion of a mystery embroidered piece over 5 weeks. These are free for just 1 month  after that there will be a nominal fee . Joy has already released WEEK 1's and WEEK 2's stitch,  WEEK 3's and  WEEK 4's .
I am using DMC 918, 898, 221 floss colors so far on this embroidery. 
🧵 Work on a new Cross Stitch Christmas ornie. 
🧵 Heading out on a new Camping adventure. Woo Hoo!

Doing the happy dance . I achieved 100% on my goals. This week's list is not so lofty. 

What's the Plans for the Week?  Well....
🧵 Finish Joy's Autumn SAL
🧵 Quilt on Frosty McChill
🧵 Work on Thanksgiving Menu. 
🧵 Clean house and prepare for Thanksgiving at my house. 


Well I wish you the most beautiful and productive week . Thank you for the sweet Monday visit and ...

    1. I was so excited to pull out the Santa mugs, Robin. The vintage ones are getting harder to find in my area, but I do keep my eyes peeled for them. The photo of the leaves do not give the colors justice. I hope your trees put on a show of colors when the leaves were stil l present.

    1. Oh thank you so much, Susie. It has been a fun one to work on. I am hoping Joy will post what she does with hers. I can not decide if I want to frame it or make a mini quilt. More than likely it will be a mini quilt. Lol. Happy quilting.

  4. Just did a little catch-up reading of your blog, you have been a busy girl. Love the Santa Mugs, I have a few, but not as many. The Quilt Leaves are a sure sign of Winter is on its way. Love the autumn colors!! Stay snug and warm, stitch away dear Melisa. Sending you warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
