The Ewe House- A House Freebie

Hello there , sweet ewes.  A very Happy Tuesday to ewe!

Grab a shepherd's hook ! We have some sheep to tend to. 

Thankfully, they are all in a row except for one straggler who has somehow made her way to the roof of the house. How she made her way up there- I  have not a clue. She may be a bit fiesty  so you better watch out. 

                   

 This is my newest house stitch called "The Ewe House".   A green house just perfect for March.  It is stitched in DMC 3363 ( Medium Pine Green ) and 523 ( Light Fern Green). I even included some shamrocks in the urn beside the house. 

If you are interested in stitching The Ewe House  ,grab the images below. Many of ya'll know but I always encourage you to read my little disclaimer and note about getting my 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.  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. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding and for all of the helpful tips and ideas. 

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 stitched The Ewe House on 14 count aida that I tea/ coffee dyed myself. It is a small measuring 71 W x 73 H which on 14 count measures about 5 1/8"x 5 1/4". Surprisingly there are 15 floss colors in this piece. I was surprised when I counted them. They include DMC 610, white, 3371, 815,841, 523, 838, 739, 3346, 924, 3858, 413, 3363, & 223.


Well , sweeties that's my newest house in my neighborhood. I am in the construction zone working on a new one as we speak.  It is going to be a saltbox, and yes! there will be some critters to wrangle up in the next one as well. Lol. Gotta love our furry friends. 
Ewe have a terrific Tuesday .
Hey, don't you forget- You are awesome !!!! 

As always....

Happy stitching, ya'll

Melisa

My sheep collection includes : Spring Green Saltbox,  A Basket for Ewe , Sheep Trifle and Sheep Jar

Believe you can and you are halfway there. 

Hugs and Stitches!!! ❤🧵🤗

Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy . Love and miss you, Amo.  A March sunset at my sister's house. Oh how I wish she was there.

  13. What a cute house! The sheep on the roof reminded me of my daughter's house and the goat's doing the same thing with some conveniently arranged things along the side of her house! So funny! Such a nice sunset view near you. Looks like Spring there...

    1. Oh how funny, Ginny. I bet the goat is a hoot to see . I do love goats too. They are great climbers. We used to have 2 at the house ; they enjoyed climbing the hills in the holler. The sunset at my sisters and the farm is always so pretty. Thank you for the sweet Tuesday visit. Hugs.
