A very lovely day to you , Punkins! Please join me for a cup of tea. And how about a Peanut Butter Cornflake Bar? Oh, they are so yummy and a family favorite here in the holler.
While we are munching, I would love to share with you my latest addition to my Halloween decor.
Winifred the Witch has pulled out her black cauldron and has a magical stew boiling.
Mmm. Can you smell it ? It is Pumpkin Stew. Dare you taste her autumn brew? Go ahead she does not mind. All is well because Winifred is a good witch so no evils spells or hexes will come our way.

| This toothy jack is my inspiration for my Jacks. I just adore him. |
Winifred certainly has a green thumb - not only can she grow large plump Jacks, but she has a candy corn plant as well.
I stitched Pumpkin Stew on 14 count tea dyed aida. The design size is 83 x 80 and on 14 count that would measure about 5 7/8" x 5 3/4". I used 12 DMC floss colors which include 3799, 648, 407, 301, blanc, 640, 356, 610, 730, 317, 680 and 830.
I wanted to finish mine on a big ole' pumpkin, but I have yet to find one so I went to the storage shed and found this little white plaque to pop it on. When I find the right finishing piece, I will refinish it.

A hug
Aaah I am so touched that you like this little piece, Isabel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a blessed day, dear. Hugs.
DeleteDear Melisa, I love everything about her! Winifred looks a super witch, such gorgeous the colours too! Your tea dyeing looks great too. I think I need more floss, you’ve made me use so much already 😂🤣😂 Thank you for the beautiful pattern. Xxx Barbara @ Flashinscissors
ReplyDeleteGood morning, sweet Barbara. I hope your day is off to a great start. Aah thank you so much for the kind words on Winifred. I had to have a good witch . Lol. Enjoying your stitching time. Hugs.

ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, dear. I had a wonderful time stitching this little gal. I would be honored if you shared my post . Thank you so much for your kind support and for spreading the joy of needlework. Have a wonderful day.
DeleteHaHa, I actually thought you had given us a receipe this time, also. Winifred is a wonderfully cute witch and so talented, Candy Corn Plant, I need one of those, lol. Thank you for the new chart, have a great and wonderful day. Hugs from sunny and a little cooler Arizona.
ReplyDeleteLol I almost shared a recipe to go along with this one, but found myself being a lazy bones. Hee! Hee! I think I need a Candy Corn Plant too. I would be raiding it all the time. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Mary. Oh, I am so glad it is beginning to cool off a bit in your neck of the woods. It has been so pleasant here. Hugs and blessings.

ReplyDeleteOh My Goodness!! I will have to squeeze her in before October. THANK U THANK U!!
ReplyDeleteAaw I am so thrilled that you will be adding her to your fall stitching. I hope you enjoy working on this little gal. Have a blessed day.
DeleteMelisa, you have done it again. Winifred concocting her pumpkin Stew is stinkin adorable. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent with us. I am telling you my PinkerPouch has officially been transferred to a TOTE. I’m 73 and I don’t think I will be able to completely stitch all in the tote. I finish one and you have added two. 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Oh well, I love stitching you pieces of art. Thank you my friend. You gave a great day. ❤️🤗🧡
ReplyDeleteA Pinker Tote? Eeeh I love it! Lol. ❤️❤️🤗 Oh , Patti , you are the sweetest. I am so glad that you enjoy my humble little stitches. I hope they bring a smile to your day. I know you bring a smile to mine. Big hugs.
DeleteMuchas gracias, Melisa!! Es un diseño precioso!!
ReplyDeleteBesos,
Pilarín
Aaah you are so very welcome, Pilarin and thank you for the sweet visit and kind compliment. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteWinifred is a witch in need of a hairstylist! LOL So cute! Thank you for sharing this new stitch with us! I have had pumpkin/squash soup many times. It is so good on a cool Fall/Winter supper. Not magic like Winifred's, though. I'm sure hers is amazing! I would love a world where candy corn grew on a vine! Wouldn't that be somethin'!
ReplyDeleteLol Winifred has some wild hair doesn't she? 😂😂 I guess she is just too busy brewing up a storm to worry about her looks. Lol. I have never had pumpkin soup; it sounds very yummy. I have a recipe with pumpkin , noodles and all sorts of things in it , but I haven't made it in years. My girls used to love it. I am going to have to look it back up. Oooh Candy Corn on a vine would be delightful ! Have a great weekend, Ginny and thank you sweet friend.
DeleteI love Winifred and her caldron of pumpkin stew. This would be a good project for me to stitch at the lake. We leave Sunday for 4 weeks camping at Pickwick Landing and I love stitching outside! Thanks for sharing. Cindyls5462
ReplyDeleteOh , Cindy, I hope you have the most wonderful time camping and I wish you dear hubby lots of success on his fishing adventures. It will be a nice time to visit that area; I hope the trees put on a beautiful display of colorful leaves as fall arrives. I hope you enjoy your stitching time, Cindy. Safe travels and thank you so much. Hugs. P. S. let me know how your trip goes.
DeleteOh, I love Winifred, Melisa! She's so fun. I might have to put her on my list! When I want to stitch one of your designs, I just take a screen shot of it and bring it up from my photos when I want to work on it. It's really easy that way!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Diann. She was a fun little gal to work on and stitched up quickly. Oh thank you so much for the tip on how you work on your stitch. My 10 year old nephew showed me how to screen shot the other day. Lol. Now I know how to do it. Hee! Hee! Have an awesome weekend. Hugs.
