Wow is it Sunday already?! It sure is! Happy Sunday y'all and welcome.
Sweet Shelly gifted me With Thy Needle and Threads "Sugar and Spice" . I will finish the roof icing today and then add in the gingerbread shingles. Hmmm- a roof and windows before the walls- Yep, that's how we roll at my construction company. Hee! Hee!
Thank you, Shelly. 🤗

This week , I drew out the designs for Harvest Season on 4 1/2" squares. I shared these little doodles earlier this month. If you missed them, I invite you to click on the colored text and visit that post.
First up was the acorn. I had to shorten it a tad, but that was easy to do.
The grandsons had a double header on Monday so I was able to stitch the acorn using the backstitch in 2 shakes of a lamb's tail. I used DMC # 898.
A little squirrel will next be on my agenda.
Now onto the plans for the week.

ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much, Gretchen . I hope to get a few projects moved along. I wish you a lovely day as well. Hugs.
Deletei can't wait to see all your doings and experience your happenings. Woo Hoo! Loving the Harvest Seasons drawings. Very cute! I wish I could get them to print the correct size I'll work with whatever I get. HeeHee So much going on in the holler. Be careful your needle is on fire. Enjoy your day! DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteHappy happy Sunday, Darlene. I hope you are having a super day. It is bright and shiny here . Maybe I will sit outside and stitch on Harvest Season. I sure wish I was more tech savvy so I could help about the printing. Hmm I wonder if working with the scale would work. LOL, I wish I could speed through some of these projects and then go to the next. So much I want to do LOL. Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteBTW, I'll be here tonight - the crazy woman sitting in the front row with the bag of pop corn. LOL Darlene
ReplyDeleteEeeh , I will bring the soda and the M& M's . Hee Hee.LOL You always crack me up and bring a bag smile to my day. Thank you , sweet Darlene. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteLooks to me like it was definitely a productive week! Enjoy your Sunday Melisa. :)
ReplyDeleteAaah thank you so much, Linda. We had so much running around; I guess I did accomplish more than I expected considering. LOL. Have a blessed day and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteI think you had a productive week, Melisa. Enjoy your Sunday stitching!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Robin. I had hoped to accomplish more , but sometimes we have those weeks or days. Have a great evening and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteMorning Melisa, hope you have a wonderful stitchy Sunday. I’ll check back later today for sure.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, dear Patti and Happy happy Sunday. I hope you are enjoying a lovely day and perhaps getting in a bit of slow stitching time yourself. I am so touched that you will drop by later. You are so kind. Have a blessed and beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteEven though you may not have checked a lot off your list, you still accomplished a lot. Great progress on your Scrapberries! I love it!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much , Susie. I have the tendency to follow squirrels and with all of the running around this week , it cut into my "goal list time" . I am working on this week's list today though. I wish you a lovely day. Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteYour "To Do" list for the week is impressive. Considering everything you have going, don't be too hard on yourself if some things sit for a bit. Just enjoy whatever making that you do get to. I have Christmas ornaments in the works, too.
ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much for the words of encouragement, Ginny. I do need to learn to sit back and enjoy the whole process. Last night I was able to sit and work on another Christmas ornament while watching tv. It was nice and quiet. I was even able to finish it. I wish you a lovely day. BIg hugs.
DeleteGood job quilting three of those luscious strawberries;))) Harvest Season will be so pretty!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julierose
I was so excited, Julierose. Every time I move to another row on Scrapberries, I get even more motivated to finish this quilt. I can not wait to show my progress on it. Thank you so much for the sweet Sunday visit. Hugs
DeleteI wish you a happy embroidery Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteKisses
Aaw thank you so much, dear Isabel. I wish you a wonderful and blessed day as well. Hugs.
DeleteProductive or not, I always enjoy seeing what you're working on, Melisa! The Harvest Season quilt with embroidery is going to be so sweet. I like how you put all the sections together first, and then will do the embroidery. Have a wonderful Sunday!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Diann. I am glad I did that for this quilt especially since I had to shorten the acorn a bit. I can not wait to get this little quilt finished. I wish you a wonderful day . Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteI like the idea of a Gingerbread tree.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed making the ornaments for that tree years ago. I made the gingerbreads out of cardboard boxes that I painted and cut up. I will be adding stitched ornies this year. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Jenny . Hugs
DeleteLots of pretty embroidery to fill your day. Those bouquets of flowers are pretty, and as for 'building' of the gingerbread house.......sounds like fun to me. =)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I certainly have enough keep me busy. I have had a good day working on some of the projects already. I hope you have a wonderful day as well, Kim. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteThe beginning of the gingerbread house already looks great. And I'm also really excited about the autumn motifs in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a productive week,
Martina
Oh thank you so much, Martina. I can not wait to complete the little gingerbread house. It is a delight to work on . I finished the embroidery today. I am excited to move this wee quilt into the hoop. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteLove that gingerbread house you finishing up, the roof line is so delicate. Some weeks we don't get our list done, it's just life. Good luck with this week's list. You've got a lot going on with your stitching.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Kate . The roof is so pretty, but a little tedious with the icing dripping. I had to be careful in counting. I did make a few boo boos but have faked it. LOL. Last week was a week with lots of errands; I am hoping this week will be a lot slower so I can work on quilting.
DeleteYou always have such amazing projects you are working on. Thanks for the squirrels and acorns. I have another project I might incorporate those into one of these days.
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so very kind, Karrin. Thank you so much. I was able to finish the embroidery today and it is ready for the hoop. I wish you a wonderful and productive week. Hugs.
