I'm itching for some stitching. How about you? Welcome, ya'll and a very Merry Monday to you.
Elmer says Hi too!!! This is our 2nd donkey on the farm. Don't let him fool you; he is a happy ole fellow that is ready for a new week. 😀🐴
Joy at Days Filled with Joy has been hosting the sweetest Christmas stitch along called Tis the Season.
Week Two's and Week Three's embroidery is in the works. Isn't it cute as button? Joy shared Week Four on Friday. I better get on the stick and catch up. Thank you , Joy.
Not only is Joy hosting a free SAL , but she is also hosting a Christmas Quilt Along too.
Progress has been made on the quilt along as well. My fabrics are not very Christmasy but that is ok.

I finally finished my Country Christmas Doodles from last week. Those little pretties are on the wee tree for Christmas in July . Soooo... that means it is time for week 3's doodles. I meant to share these last Thursday , but the days got away from me.

Dedicated to my sweet baby sister, Amy. I love and miss you so much.
I have been working on Autumn Blooms by Scissor Tail Designs. I am always drawn to stitches with the word "Autumn" in it. 🍂🍁🍂🍁
I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needle workers to meet.

ReplyDeleteWe have one donkey at each of the farms. They both have different personalities too. Over the years we have always named the donkeys with names that start with E. Elmer is named after my Papa. Thank you so much for dropping by for a visit. Hugs.
DeleteAaah thank you so much, Diana. I wanted to make a few country ornaments for my tree, but I think these would look awful cute in a quilt too. Hugs and Blessings.
