Happy Truckin' Along Tuesday, ya'll. ๐
I am going to be truckin' along on a new truck cross stitch today. The truck is almost completed. I just need to fill in the back of the pickup with some beeeautiful motifs.๐๐๐ฏ
It is time to change out the tiered tray by my corner sink.
Right now it is filled to the brim with chickens and my little red truck, but soon it will be sporting some pastel Easter eggs and whatever else strikes my fancy.
Some of the quilts hanging on the shutters in the foyer. These are fixing to be changed out too.
More hexies are in the works.
Let me introduce to you the sweetest bunny on the block- Miss Flopsy Tail. She is busy harvesting an early crop of carrots for her munching pleasure.
Miss Flopsy and Bunny Jar |
She is stitched on 14 count tea/ coffee dyed aida and I use 14 DMC floss colors which include DMC 3740, 3781, 930, 931, white, 301, 356, 725, 937 , 898, 3371, 221, 223 and 832. The stitch certainly does not look like it had that many colors and of course you could condense some of the colors down.
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.
Alrighty , Sweeties . I did not ramble along today, but just kept it short and sweet. I hope you enjoy doing a "bit of this and that" for yourself today!!! Have a Terrific Tuesday and ...
As always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Melisa
A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.
Hugs and Stitches!!! ๐ค๐งต
Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy. I miss and love you so much.

I so enjoy reading your messages, seeing all your decorations and the farm. But I love stitching your sweet designs! I need one of those little red trucks, too! Debbie B.
ReplyDeleteAaaah thank you so much, Debbie. You brought a smile to my evening . I so appreciate your sweet visits as well. And it just warms my heart to hear that you enjoy my humble designs. The little ceramic red truck is from the Dollar General. It had a candle in the back of it , but I have burned the candle and now just enjoying using it around the house. I love the little red trucks. Lol. Have a great day.
DeleteMaybe short, but definitely sweet! And Miss Flopsy is cute as anything! I want a real red truck just like that ... with a little rPod on behind or a retro trailer like Shasta. =)
ReplyDeleteAaaw thank you so much, Susan. Oh yes a vintage red truck with a vintage Shasta traveling all about would be heavenly.

DeleteI can't believe I've followed you in IG and just today found your blog...geez! You are very kind to share such adorable cross stitch patterns, Melisa. Honestly, your designs are Market worthy!! Can't wait to see your tiered tray decorated for Easter.
ReplyDeleteLol thank you so much, Jeanna. I am so glad that you dropped in for a sweet visit. I think I started blogging a few months after I got on IG. I still feel like a newbie at it. Lol. You are so very kind about my humble designs; that means so much. Have a wonderful week. Hugs.
DeleteSuch a sweet little bunny stitch! Love what I can see of the quilt behind the bunnies, too! And a Honey Truck! Lovin' it! Your hexie flowers hit another UFO quilt of mine. I am making one with very large flowers. I am not very far on this one. I like the basket quilt on the shutters. It is unusual and distinctive. Is it a find from a thrifting outing or a vintage treasure of family? I really enjoy seeing all of your lovelies!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Ginny . I will have to take a better photo of my basket quilt that I made years ago; it was one of my designs. The basket quilt on the shutters is a thrifty find. I was looking at it today and thought I do need to quilt it very soon. I am drawn to the green fabric in it. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteOh my! This is a must! Miss Flopsy is so sweet!! By the way I finished A cold winter's day, it's on my latest post on my blog, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful designs!
