It is a beautiful Sunday in the holler. We are still enjoying warm days and pleasant nights where I can leave the windows wide open. I think I could enjoy this weather year round. 🤗🌞
Welcome, sweet friends and a very happy Slow Stitching Sunday to you.
Do you have grand plans for the day or are you going to enjoy a nice quiet day at home doing whatever strikes your fancy?
The family will gather at my mom's for the oldest nephew's 14th birthday party. Cake and ice cream is on the menu plus whatever he convinced my mom to fix for dinner. He is all into fishing so I will decorate in the appropriate theme and gift him money so he can buy his favorite lures or maybe a rod.
While I am visiting, my nimble fingers will weave a needle and thread on a Christmas project. In July and August , Joy at Days Filled with Joy hosted a free Tis The Season SAL. I believe the pattern is still available.
I will work on the embroidery today. Joy has generously gifted a SAL project for each season. I still have "Summer" in the wings . Thank you Joy for all that you do. 🤗
It is Santa Sunday so that means I will be working on a Santa stitch today!
Eeeh ! I am so excited to show you my newest prim simple Santa stitch that I began this week!
It is called Christmas Day- just a wee Santa, some reindeer, holly and a tree or two.
Christmas Day is the 4th in the Prim Christmas Series and uses some of the same floss colors as Old World Santa , Tree Delivery , and Santa Is On His Way.

Morning Melisa, I LOVE your Prim Christmas Series, I have spent at least an hour looking for my finished Old World Santa. He is hiding somewhere🤷♀️🥲 waiting for me to finish the rest of that series I guess. The rest of the series is going on our cruise with us next week. I hope to finish them before we get back home. I hope you have a wonderful day today and a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. It’s alright to not hit your goal once in a while, life does get in our way at times. You’ll get it done. ❤️🤗
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you have the most delightful and relaxing cruise, Patti. How fun!!! Thank you so much for stitching this little series. I hope to add one more this year. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and a safe trip when you travel. Hugs.

DeleteHappy Birthday to your oldest nephew. How great that he gets to celebrate with lots of family! I love your latest Prim Santa. I've been playing with my youngest granddaughter and consequently making no progress on my quilting projects. . .She will be returning to London in about a week so I've been getting in as many cuddles as possible!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects

DeleteON your Snowman in the mitten, did you color it with a fabric crayon? I love it.
ReplyDeleteI have some cross stitch that needs attention. I just can't seem to get to it as following the pattern requires attention.
