ReplyDeleteHave a happy sunday, Gabi
Lol thank you so much, Gabi. The neighborhood is certainly growing. Lol. Have a wonderful week and Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteGood job Melisa, I love the new addition to your Pinker neighborhood. It’s going in my pinker pouch now. You have a great day. ❤️š¤
ReplyDeleteAaah that warms my heart to hear, dear Patti; thank you so much. It was a fun little house to work on . I hope you have a super week and happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteGreat new saltbox, Melisa! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Brenda. It is a joy and blessing to be able to share these humble homes. I hope you had a great weekend. We finally got a bit of rain . Hugs.
DeleteThank you so much for posting this! I feel in love with all of your saltbox patterns (plus all the others!!) when I somehow stumbled upon your blog about a few months ago. I noticed your new saltbox on your homepage banner and inquired about how adorable it was - I have every pattern ready to stitch and am stitching by the month - I started with a couple in April and have done some May, June and three of the July saltbox houses. I am going to get ready to stitch this new saltbox next - I am stitching the Blueberry house right now! You are a very talented cross stitch designer that is just too generous with your patterns!! I sincerely do appreciate being able to stitch them and enjoy reading your blog each morning before I run off to sit with a grandkid or five - haha! I have two very active daughters with one back in college full time with 3 daughters - she has a CPA husband that travels quite often for work so I help hold down her house (laundry and all) while she is at school. My other daughter is a stay at home mother but her husband is a detective that gets called out at all hours and with two active sons she needs help often. Anyway, I did not mean to ramble but wanted to let you know that after years of being busy raising my daughters, working outside the home when they got older that I had lost some cross stitching time and your blog helped bring back the thrill of the stitch!! I am now stitching all the time and your patterns are so very wonderful to be able to do!! Thank you again for your kindness and generosity - Carrie
ReplyDeleteI am so touched and so very honored, Carrie. You made my day! I hope you enjoy this little stitch and am tickled to death that you like it. You are staying very busy and what a blessing to have 5 grandchildren. There is nothing like them. I just have the 2 , but I have the nephews that are like my own as well. The kiddos keep us busy don't they ? LOL. It warms my heart to hear that you got back into stitching. I had taken a break for almost 30 years before getting back into it myself. Now I want to stitch all the time. Lol. Enjoy each and every stitch that you work on and again thank you for the sweet visit to my humble blog, for stitching my designs and for bringing a big smile to my day. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteYour pretty house is just perfect for the upcoming 4th of July celebration! :)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Linda. I always love me a "patriotic house" LOL. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteAnother beauty, I really need to start another stitching!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Vicki. A new start is always fun. Lol. I hope to start something new today. Fingers crossed. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteThank you so much for this new pattern. I will start with it when I come home from France.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Annelies. I hope you are having a lovely time. Safe travels. Hugs.
DeleteGood Morning and Blessed Sunday to you! Love the new patriotic saltbox. Especially with all the bunting! Thank you so much! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI hope your day was very lovely one, Donna. It was a hot one here , but still a beautiful day. Thank you so much for the sweet Sunday visit. Hugs.
DeleteThat is a sweet house design, Melisa! I love all the little details you included, and that you were inspired by one of your ancestors, too. I'm working on the Watermelon stamp right now, but have something patriotic on my list for July - just haven't picked which one yet! Thanks for always sharing so generously!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Diann. It was a fun little house to create and share. I am so excited that you are working on the Watermelon stamp . I loved working on that one. I hope you enjoy every stitch. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteLovely desing
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Melisa!
Hugs
Aaah thank you so much, dear Isabel. Have a blessed week. Hugs.
DeleteThis is another beautiful design, Melisa! What is it about houses that we love! Especially one in this gorgeous shade of yellow. I had to look it up and it is called topaz I think. What an inspired choice! Happy Stitching from me!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jocelyn. I think I am always stitching my dream homes in one form or another. When I was younger I always wanted to have a yellow house; they are so charming. I think I will always have a fondness for yellow homes. Lol. Have a great week. Hugs.
DeleteThank you so much for posting this sweet Liberty House, and what a tribute to your amazing ancestor. I love to hear the story behind your stitchery. The post from Carrie touched my heart and echoes so many of my own thoughts. Sending many warm hugs from sunny hot Arizona to you and your wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, dear Mary. The stitches are even more meaningful to me when I create them in memory of my family. I think about all of the stories behind the stitch. Wasn't Carrie's message the sweetest. She brightened my day as you do as well. I always look forward to hearing from you. Hubby and I was looking at the temps in AZ today. We sure are missing being out there. It was 99 here yesterday and muggy. Finally we got a bit of rain come nightfall. Stay cool , sweet friend and Happy stitching . Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteLove your latest released design. . .there are so many little treasures to stitch in this piece!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Terry. It was a delight to stitch and I had a ball creating all of the motifs. It makes me want to stitch another patriotic house. LoL. Have a great week and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteOh, I love Lucinda's house!!! Everything about it is perfect, Melisa! And the strawberry basket is adorable. Once again, you've hit out of the park!!! You are amazing, my sweet friend. Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Darlene. Grandma Lucinda's house was loads of fun to stitch. I am already itching to start a new house. Lol. Have a great week and Stay cool. Hugs.
DeleteDo you have kits for your houses? Would love to buy some! Or where are the patterns?
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much for asking. This is just a hobby for me and I just share the designs here on my blog. I am not very tech savvy so I have a tip page on printing the designs that my sweet friends have suggested. Unfortunately, I am not able to create downloads anymore because it would cost. Bummer. Thank you again for the sweet visit and kind compliment.
DeleteYou can find all her saltbox patterns in the listing to the right of her blog, alphabetically look for salt box house - I think she has 45 now and they are all lovely.
DeleteLiberty House looks great, you have a great series now. I've already stitched the Strewberrry House.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week, Martina
It is so exciting to hear that you stitched Strawberry House, Martina. I hope you enjoyed each and every stitch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope to start a new house sometimes this week. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteAaah thank you so much, Robin. I am proud to have this patriotic house in the neighborhood. Have a great week. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Lucinda's house with us. It's a beauty with so many great details. The bottom bunting is so classic. You must be a busy gal because I was just thinking we hadn't had a visit in a few days.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Ginny. It was a fun little house to work on . I have always had a "thing" for bunting which is probably one of my favorite motifs to stitch. I feel like I have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off- yes busy , busy , busy and nothing to show for it. LOL. But that is how it is sometimes ; I guess it is that time of the year. Plus the grandbabes have been out so they keeping me on my toes. Have a wonderful week . Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteSo beautiful!! I'll have to save this one for my to-do list too!
ReplyDeleteHugs
Aaah thank you so much, Diana. I am so honored. I hope you enjoy it when you have the opportunity to stitch it. Have a blessed day. Hugs
DeleteAnother adorable design, Melisa. I love the yellow house.
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you kindly, Jeanna. I too have a deep affection for yellow houses. I am looking forward to starting a new one soon. Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteThank you, Melisa, for sharing these little houses with us. I am so excited to get started on Lucinda's house for the summer. I will happily add her to the family of stitches from you. I love them. Thanks, again, and have a wonderful week. Cheryl
ReplyDeleteAaah I am so very honored that you will be adding her to your list Cheryl. I bet you will have her stitched up in no time and I hope you enjoy each and every stitch. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the sweet visit and kind compliment. Hugs and Blessings.

ReplyDeleteOh I hope you enjoyed Freedom Saltbox, Christina . I am so excited to hear that you stitched it and it warms my heart that you like Lucinda Hawkins Liberty House as well. Thank you for bringing a smile to my day and for stitching my humble little homes. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteLove, love, love this one...and all your saltbox houses. Someday I will get them all stitched. Thank you for sharing your creativity!
ReplyDeleteAaw I am over the moon that you like this little house, Donna. When I first stitched it in 2022 , I was not sure if anyone would like a topaz colored house, but after so many nice compliments, I decided to post it. Thank you so much for the sweet visit and kind words. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteThank you so so much for posting this little house. I saw it and wondered how in the world I missed it!
ReplyDeleteAaah you are so welcome, dear. This little house has been lingering around for awhile. I am so touched that you like it . I wish I had posted it sooner. Lol. Have a blessed and wonderful day and Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteVery cute! You've got so many fun designs.
