What is it Mark Twain said? "Everybody talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it. "
Well with that being said- Brrrr. It is cold out there! Hee! Hee! 🥶
Today is supposed to be the coldest day of the month in our neck of the woods dropping down to 19. It is a perfect day to stay home in my jammies and stitch the day away. Now that sounds like a plan. Don't you agree?
We got about 2 inches of snow yesterday.
It began to melt by mid day, but soon the temps dropped. There is no school today so the little munchkins will be here shortly then katy bar the door for they are sure to find something fun to get into - knowing them they will probably go outside. Aaah to be young again when cold weather did not bother one so much.😏
Anywhooo, it has been a spell since I have stitched one of my own designs. I have a wee start on my Clover Basket Pinkeep which I have high hopes to finish by the weekend.
I hope you do not mind if I share the chart without it being stitched . Since I am still working on it, I have not listed the floss colors so it is a "CHOOSE YOUR OWN COLORS" chart, but I will list the colors that I use when I finish this piece.

With the snow looking so inviting yesterday, I pulled out my Frosty McChill Quilt so it could frolic in the snow. Frosty was quite happy.
I then marched inside and pulled out Mr. Snow embroidered blocks which I shared in 2023-2024. Click here to visit a post with links to all 12 of the Mr. Snow blocks.
It is time to do something with these blocks before I move on to another embroidery project.

The Mr. Snow blocks are the same size as the Frosty McChill blocks . I will be cutting fabric today and framing a couple of the blocks.
Well , Sweeties I am going to cozy down on the couch, sip on a cup of coffee and stitch on a little basket. I wish you a beautiful and blessed day.
As Always,
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all
Melisa
Thank you for the sweet visit.

Hey, Have I told you that you are the bee's knees lately?! You sure are! Love ya'! ❤
I think you're the bee's knees, as well. Oh, my it is cold (brrr) in your neck of the woods. I see you're keeping your hands busy. woohoo! I've been working on small projects but tomorrow I hope to start a larger project. Enjoy your Thursday and stay warm. Hugs!!! Darlene J
ReplyDeleteAaah shucks! Thank you , dear Darlene. You brought a smile to my day. Oh yes, I am trying to stay as busy as possible. It sounds like you are staying busy as well . It makes these winter days go by faster. Warm hugs from the holler.
DeleteEnjoy the littles today! Their energy helps keep us young. Frosty McChill looks happy out there in the snow. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Deb. I do believe you are right; the boys certainly keep me on my toes . Enjoy your day and Happy Thursday. Hugs.
DeleteYour snow looks pretty. Sounds like you'll be busy with young'ens around!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday. Linda. Oh yes , the snow was so pretty. I was excited to see it though and woke up early since I feared that it would not last long. I am not sure what the boys and I will get into today. Last week we went to the park- no park today though- too cold. LOL. Have a great day. Hugs.
DeleteHow fun to have a snow day with the littles!!! Have a wonderful time!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI think it is a treat for all of us. I enjoy every minute of spending time with the little ones. They are busy little fellas that is for sure. Have a blessed day, Terry and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteLovely Clover Basket design, Melisa! We had about 2 inches yesterday as well. Currently, we are having flurries. Enjoy the time spent with the kids.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday, Robin. It sounds like a good stitching day for you too. The sun is shining here but it is freezing. LOL. Have a great day and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs
DeleteSeems like you've gotten back into your groove. The St. Patty's stitchery is really fun. Hope the grands enjoy the snow. It is cold. No snow where I'm at, but it's plenty cold. My plan is like yours, stay in and sew the day away.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday, Kate. Oh yes, I think I am getting back to my old routine. I have a lot of new projects in the works which is keeping me motivated. I wish you a lovely day of sewing. I look forward to hearing what you get accomplished . Enjoy your visit with Grad Girl . Hugs.
DeleteI love all of your snowmen projects and the clover basket is going to be so cute. Our forecast low was 7 degrees F and it was 16.5 when I crawled from under the warming blanket. We had snow yesterday, it melted by the afternoon, and we woke up to a dusting this morning. I'm ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteBrrrr, it sure is cold in your neck of the woods, Jeanna. It would have been hard for me to crawl out of bed with a warming blanket on. LOL. Spring can not come too soon for me either. Stay warm and cozy and have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteLoving how Frosty McChill looks, Melisa...and those mittens (which we could use right now, right?) are just so cute...lovely works ;)00 hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteHappy Happy Thursday, Julierose. Oh yes we do need the mittens. I cranked up the heat this morning . Brrrr. I couldn't resist pulling out my Frosty quilt . He is good to snuggle up in . Stay warm and cozy and enjoy your day. Warm hugs.
DeleteI never mind when you have a "Choose your own colors" design because that's what I do anyway. I just hunt around in my floss stash to see what I have that is close to whatever color you use. :) I love the Clover Basket design - will have to put that on my list! Stay warm, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteLove the new St. Patty's stitch, Melisa! Glad you are getting back into things after your camping adventure! I don't like this cold weather we are having in the south. Too much! I'm ready for next week when it will be in the 70s again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet Shamrock Basket stitch! Sure to be a beauty as you sew it up. I've got my Frosty McChill hanging in the kitchen. He's certainly not melting around here either! Lol! I'm looking forward to the warm-up coming up later.
ReplyDeleteI love the sheep in a basket!! So adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back from your sweet and wonderful travels. I see that you were not that far from Phoenix, I am glad that you enjoy my neck of the country. Thank you so much for the Clover Basket, Oh I think I have just the right threads to do up a little stitchery. I had a Cataract Surgery on Feb 14th, and I am itching to stitch! The next eye will be on the 28th and I should be good for another 20+ years, lol!! Enjoy the grands in the snow. Sending you warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to make you jealous, but today in Seville we had a wonderful day with spring temperatures and a bright blue sky clear of clouds!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou always share beautiful designs!!
Hugs
A really cute basket, Melisa - will be saving that. Still plugging away on Winter Stamp - a very slow stitch for me. We were in the high 40's this am, which is pretty chilly for us here in FL. It's gotten warmer but still a bit nippy. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteIf I'm the bee's knees, you are the cat's meow! Haha The Clover Basket is the perfect stitch to do before March gets here. Thank you for such a cute little lamb. He looks very happy in his basket. It has been pretty chilly here for quite a while and we've had overcast days and snow off and on for days. Your Wet Mittens hanger and mini quilt is so perfectly cute. Your grands may need to use it for real if they venture out in the snow. Enjoy your jammy stitching. Sounds good to me.
