  4. Oh me, oh me where do I start??? I've made a HUGE decision - I have to stop sleeping. LOL Sleep is starting to get in the way. Ack!!! So many memories - waiting anxiously for the next stamp when we were stitching the Autumn stamps as a sew along. So much fun. It's time to focus again and git'er done. HMMM where do I start?? I love all your designs and wish I could stitch all of them. I must focus. Thank you for sharing another incredible parade but especially for sharing your talent. Big, big hugs, DarleneJ

    2. LOL sleep is overrated we needed stitching and quilting time! Hee! Hee! Or at least more hours in the day. Aaah thank you so much , sweet Darlene; you had me rolling. The Autumn SAL holds fond memories for me. I sure wish I could get focused on the summer sal, but I am sure the inspiration will hit when I least expect it. Now let's go stitch. Hee ! Hee! Warm hugs

  5. Wow wow wow!! 😍😍 Thank you for this awesome parade, Melisa!! I want to stitch them all 🤣 How many years have you been designing cross stitch patterns? You have so many! 😮 I appreciate you sharing them with us so much!
    I actually found your blog through a gentleman who attends my local cross stitch meetups because he was showing us all your saltbox houses he had been stitching.

    My daughter and I arrived back home safely late Tuesday and we're happy to be back. 🙂 Lots of unpacking, cleaning and gardening is happening now, just hoping it will cool off and rain soon 🥵

    Seeing your parade first thing in the morning really brightens my day, thank you!

    Hugs and love from hot and dry Maine,
    Alex 🤗

    1. Oh I am so glad you made it home safely, Alex. I hope you are well rested and did not experience severe jet lag. I think I started posting charts in 2020; it doesn't seem that long ago. LOL My how time flies. Aah I am so touched that the gentleman not only stitches my saltboxes but shared my little blog with you. That really means the world that you both visit me. It sounds like you are staying busy with those "back home chores". Don't over do while out gardening in the heat. Warm hugs and blessings.
