Good afternoon, sweet friends and welcome. Well, we are half way there till the weekend.
Not a lot is going on in the holler except preparing for our upcoming camping trip. I will share more on those happenings later.

Howdee!! So very nice to "see" you. Is it nice to be seen. LOL You already know how much I love the Halloween stamps. I believe I've stitched all of them and that makes me a very happy girl. The idea of a Halloween Stamp sampler is pure perfection - so very cute. I'm still not feeling 100%. My energy level is in the dumper. Ugh! I wish whatever this is would just move along. Have a great week. Hope you pop in again very soon. Big, Big Hugs, DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea to combine your Halloween stamps into a sampler! The header is cute as can be, Melisa. I really like your Clementine and Baby Jack stamp - I think that will be next on my stitching list. (After I finish a couple others!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun sampler! I agree with Dann about the header!!! That pie is super cute. I bet it is delicious!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects

ReplyDeleteI love these Halloween stamps! They're perfect for embroidering all of them, together, or separately!

Your sampler frame is so nice - I'm tempted! That charcoal gray dyed Aida is really pretty. The Snow Ghost pie sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteYour new stamp collection will be a lot of fun to see come together. You've got a good start on it.
ReplyDeleteThe Halloween header is sooo cute. I love displaying all the stamps together. I have gray fabric in my stash (naturally LOL), but I haven’t used it yet. I’ll see how the colors show up on it. Ghost pie - fun! I am going to have to make it. Thanks for sharing . Have a great weekend. Alicia
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a fun, fun Sampler layout! The header is so cute! With all of the stamps you've already shared, we are well on our way to having all the squares filled.
ReplyDeletegood morning beautiful Melisa.
ReplyDeletewe definitely do work for a brighter day!!! life can get pretty hairy from time-to-time, but i will survive. I am strong, I am invincible, I am woman - now are you singing Helen Reddy's song in your brain - good - you need tunes to sing/hum to while you are being creative with all your cross stitch works. you are definitely wonder woman - a marvel!!!
thank you so much for the halloween sampler frame pattern. i will try and find some charcoal grey Rit dye to dye a white piece of aida cloth that I have. i am so excited. i haven't made any of the samplers in the frame as of yet, but they are waiting in my 5-ream stack of pinker cross stitch patterns i have been collecting. heehee
wonderful news to hear that you are preparing for another adventure. i wish my life had adventure - i suppose everyday breathing is an adventure for me. i have plenty to keep me busy, but i am a procrastinator and have to wait until the last minute for everything. why is that? am i up for the challenge? who knows. i really think it is the great big "L" word.
L-A-Z-Y. i just love looking at all the patterns. the making kits up in preparation for completing. i have many cross stitch pattern kits made up and many quilt kit projects ready. i'll get there. slowly, but surely.
i hope you have an awesome Thursday Melisa. stay safe, stay strong.
blessings and love are coming your way.

Love love this Collection! I am dying some fabric today!! Thank you so much for all of your sweet and wonderful creations. Have a wonderful and relaxing camping trip, I am a little jealous. Going to have to try the recipe, so much for the diet, lol. Sending warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI was just admiring your blog header, Melisa! You should be so proud of the many designs you've created over the years. Love the new little sampler header, too, and your Halloween stamps are adorable. I really should stitch the ghost for my grandson :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to see that you’re creating another sampler! I love each and every one of them. Right now, your Autumn Sampler is hanging on my living room wall. It replaced the Spring sampler this past summer. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! que doble pinta tiene esta entrada bella amiga Meli. Este misterioso Muestrario que seguramente sera encantador como los anteriores. Y esa receta seguro esta para chuparse los dedos! jajja ahora salgo de viaje pero a mi regreso me pondre con el muestrario!! Mil besos y abrazos de tu amiga

Oh how fun!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOh Melisa!! You have made me so happy with this post! I agree with you, I will start on this sampler too and I may not finish for 2025 Halloween, but I will keep working on it too to have it ready for next year. I love that you have created this design to have all the Halloween stamps together!! Wink wink, could you in the future make a Christmas one too?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this with us!! Yay!!
