Rain is on its way! Well at least that is what the weatherman says. We shall see though.
Good Thursday morning, Sweeties. How is the weather in your neck of the woods? I hope it is pleasant.
Yesterday, we had a spot of rain as well. I spent time indoors working on my Peppermint Pinwheels blocks.
QUESTION: Do you like peppermint candy? It is a must have during the holidays. I fill my candy dish with these sweet , little treats- just as my Nanny did.❤💚

| 10 more blocks completed. |
Since it will be raining today, I will create more of these sugar coated red and green blocks . ❤💚
It is Embroidery Thursday for me as well. Sooo.... I will also begin embroidery work using my new set of Country Christmas doodles. I will work mine up into ornaments using DMC 498.
These are the ones I completed last week.

The other day, I pulled out some of my little embroidered Christmas quilts that I sit here and there and everywhere! 🎅🤶
My grandsons' handprints are some of my favorites.
I even made one into a pillow. Aah little Mr. R's baby handprint. ❤🤗

Yesssss, I love peppermint candies but I cannot get the little red/white one in my country.
ReplyDeleteI still have the candy canes which I brought years ago from Canada. Oh my Gosh where is the time. Can you hold it on?
The quilt are beautiful, like the handprints. Great.
The weather is not made for me. Yesterday snow, today rain, weekend ???
I like it warm, sunny sky and sitting in the garden.
Hugs and a happy day,
Gabi
Your Peppermint Pinwheels quilt is so stinkin' cute. Perfect fabric for pinwheels. I love it so much!! Gotta lot all the redwork embroidery. Lately I've been thinking about doing some redwork embroidery. It's been quite a while since I've done any embroidery. Yours are always fabulous. And of course you already know how much I love your houses. Can't remember the last one I stitched. I should start writing down everything I'd enjoy stitching very soon. Sometime in 2026 is a strong possibility.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a colder and rainy day today and I really enjoyed the change of pace. Happy, Happy Thursday!!! Hugs, DarleneJ
