Happy Tiny Tuesday! 😀 Hello Sweet Peas. How are you doing on this fine summer's day?
I bet you are wondering what is up with "Tiny Tuesday" . Well a few years ago my sweet friend, Christina on IG ( Hi Christina!) started stitching tiny pieces on a certain day. So that is what I have been doing ever since then. It is part of my stitching rotation. The rotation for me might be to just spend 15- 30 minutes on a project and then move to my "focus" piece. Of course, I am not a stickler to my rotation often I fly by the seat of my pants. 👖👖

Here are some of my rotation themes. Most are ideas from other dear stitchers.
MONDAY- MERRY MONDAY - Christmas/ winter stitching
TUESDAY- TINY TUESDAY- Work on smalls
- TOMATO TUESDAY- Sewing related stitches
WEDNESDAY- WITCHY WEDNESDAY- Halloween themed stitches
- WINTER WEDNESDAY- Winter themed stitches
- RED WEDNESDAY- Redwork
THURSDAY- THANKFUL THURSDAY- Thanksgiving or sentimental stitches
- EMBROIDERY THURSDAY- I work on an embroidery project
FRIDAY- FALL FRIDAY- Autumn related stitches

SATURDAY- STARS AND STRIPES SATURDAY- patriotic pieces

SUNDAY- SANTA SUNDAY- Christmas / winter stitching

It is "Bee Stitching" time for me. And... a new stitch is in the works... - The Apiary Garden. I am stitching it on 14 count Rit charcoal gray dyed fabric.

Have you seen the darling Miss Bee freebie from The Little Stitcher? It is a cutie patootie! I will be working on it today too.

And... Have you seen these at Walmart? Mom gifted me this the other day. She knew my love for watermelons , pumpkins and Halloween. I had to laugh. I would have never thought of a watermelon Jack-o-lantern. Would you? Cute as can be though.
Speaking of Halloween, I pulled out With Thy Needle and Thread's "Boo To You!" last Wednesday. I slowly worked on her dress. There are some rough stitches in there- I have to admit sometimes my eyes fail on me. LOL. But I am plugging right along. This is my Witchy Wednesday stitch.

So tell me. Are you working on a teeny stitch right now? And do you have a rotation or do you fly by the seat of your pants?
Have a beeautiful day!
Now remember to do something that you love.
Oh, and if you have a chance stop back by tomorrow. I will show you snippets from my garden and there just may be a new house stitch .🏡 ❤
As Always, Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all Melisa Thank you for the sweet visit. "It's the little things. " - Hugs and Stitches!!!!🤗🧵❤ Dedicated to my baby sister, Amy. Love and miss you, Amo. |
Fabrics are cut for my Around the Garden blocks. I am woefully behind. 🙄
I love Tiny Tuesday and look forward to all your projects! Over the years I've considered doing a rotation. It doesn't take long to become a fleeting thought. LOL I'm a 'fly by the seat of my pants" kind of girl. ROFLOL I'm going to sit on the sidelines and cheer you on. Go Melisa Go!!!
ReplyDeleteBig Silly Hugs, DarleneJ
Happy Happy Tuesday, Darlene. Aaw nothing wrong with flying by the seat of your pants. You never know what you will get into do ya'? LOL. I am grateful for all of the cheering on I can get especially when FFOing some of my pieces. Sometimes I am as slow as molasses. Have a bee-autiful day! Big ole' hugs.
DeleteNot much stitching at the moment. Have finished "Halloween House" by Melisa. LOL.
ReplyDeleteMust do something in the garden, grrr.
Happy, happy tuesday,
Gabi
Oh I am so excited that you finished Halloween House Gabi. I hope you enjoyed every stitch. Halloween will be here before we know it. I do need to begin working on more Halloween and fall stuff myself. I hope it is not too hot when you go out to the garden. Have a very lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteRight now, my embroidery is on standby.
ReplyDeleteIt's too hot, and all I can think about is my vacation...hahaha.
However, I need to finish some stitches for July 30th when I'm participating in a challenge.
I like your organization, Melisa! : it allows you to embroider several things at the same time without getting bored and to progress through the projects little by little.
Hugs from Spain
Happy Tuesday, Isabel. Oh how exciting to be getting ready for your vacation! That would be on my mind as well. I hope that you have a wonderful relaxing time with many adventures as well. I am sure you will get all of the stitching that you need to have completed before your deadline. I am cheering you on. Stay cool , sweet friend. Hugs.
DeleteThe watermelon looks so cute, what an original idea! Your counted cross stitching looks so nice. I always think the stitches look so tiny, it would make my eyes tired to stitch those. That's why I applique in the evening, my eyes get tired and that's what I need before I go to bed. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI bet your mom is a hoot too. The watermelons are cute.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of wonky stitches, my Kawandi-style project is full of those--this first row is a "bear"--I've removed stitches two times now--and no more--I think I'll call it "Wonkified Kawandi" hahaha.
ReplyDeleteAll those flapping fabrics and multiple layers are a real challenge...but fun!!:)))
I think that watermelon Jack is a hoot!! [Your Mom sounds a lot like mine was--a real pistol...]
I do miss her still....
Hope your rest of the week sewing goes well...hugs, Julierose
Wow....sometimes I wish I could stick to a schedule but that went out the window when I retired! Speaking of watermelons...here in a tiny town in NC called Fair Bluff this Saturday is our annual Watermelon Festival...all things watermelon including music, parade, eating contest n queen! Good old folksy fun!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a schedule! I' do have a blogging schedule and a chore schedule, but I've never been able to do more than a to do list for my stitching time. You have some very fun projects in the works. I do sympathize with the eye comment. Getting back to cross stitching hasn't been easy on those, new cheaters were required. How was I ever able to stitch that small without any magnification?
ReplyDeleteThose watermelons are genius! I thought of you as I was embroidering last night, you always have such sweet patterns. I am struggling with some double vision right now, so I not only am wearing readers, but also have one of those lighted magnifiers around my neck - talk about Granny! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat watermelon is totally fun! Your schedule is FULL! How you all garden and quilt too is beyond me! I love your Witchy Wednesday!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I'm sort of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda gal. I have finished one of the quilts that have been sitting, crying, for not being finished. ;-) The Christmas ornaments are all stitched but not completely finished for gift giving. We're having the RV worked on today - one of the slide-outs isn't working - makes it hard to travel :-o But, since we're not leaving until after the first of September, we're ok. So, I'll just be stitching a little here, a little there. Those Halloween melons are so funny - will have to find one! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThat watermelon stack is adorable. I am not a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal. I set up a monthly plan and tend to go with it for my stitching. If I need to add things, then I do. It works for me, but I know it might stress others out. Happy Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for another house - I am down to 13 to go on my list of all of the houses!! Thank yor for your generosity in sharing them with us. I do cross stitch and sew a little each day in-between watching all five of my grandkids at times. The two youngest will be going to kindergarten this year and my oldest daughter finished her college and got her teaching degree so I will not be babysitting my youngest granddaughter full time and will be a little bored during the week when they are all in school - so bored I offered to go do laundry a couple of afternoons at my daughters house when she starts teaching full time - she has not worked outside of the house since her oldest was born and she is now going into middle school. Thank you again for sharing so many cross stitch patterns that I have so many to keep me busy - I so appreciate you - Carrie
ReplyDeleteLovely watermelon !
ReplyDeleteI am working on the Black Rooster SAL, one if your lovely houses and a project to reveal later. I am also quilting, quilting, quilting.
Enjoy your day !
