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
Love Peppermint candy - in fact, I had a peppermint shake from Chick Fil A yesterday! Your hand print ornies are darling! I may steal your idea! I think I may start your redwork ornies after the holidays - something new for next year. No rain here - we're beginning our drought season. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteOh the fabrics in the Peppermint Pinwheels are sooooo sweet! Yes, I gotta have peppermint candies year round!
ReplyDeleteYour doodles are adorable, and your Peppermint Pinwheels look beautiful. I'm not crazy about the little round peppermint candies, but I'll eat a candy cane - weird huh? I like chocolate with my peppermint! :D
ReplyDeleteThose handprint blocks are just too precious! I bet you remember making the drawing of each one!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteI love your pinwheel quilt. The addition of the pink to the green and red is delightful! If I didn’t have so much to do today, I’d head to my sewing room and start cutting!!! Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteYour peppermint quilt is so cute...I do love a peppermint candy cane (or 2, 3, 4--hahaha).
ReplyDeleteLovely doodles for ornaments, Melisa...I am downloading them for a project in the future--thanks so much...hugs, Julierose
I agree, Peppermint candy is a must for the holidays. The Christmas embroideries are so cute, Melisa. I really hope I can find time to stitch a few. Thank you for sharing them with us! The handprints are such treasures, what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYes to Peppermint Candy especially during December. But I do like them all year round. Cute doodles, Melisa.
ReplyDeleteYour doodles are adorable! Yes, I love peppermint candy! My Granny always had soft peppermint candy sticks during the holidays. I loved it. I love your peppermint pinwheels too!
ReplyDeletegood morning lovely Melisa.
ReplyDeletewe are expecting rain today as well. woohoo!!! bring it on, but as i have said a 100 times no thunder and lightning please.
i love your raggedy ann doll. she is absolutely precious. i'll look on the website to see what she offers. i just may have to purchase one of her cute, cute, cute dolls.
i love how far you have gotten on peppermint pinwheels. it is going to be a beautiful quilt and one that is larger than the littles you make. i can't wait to see it finished.
i am ready for the rain. i think it's supposed to start early afternoon and rain until tomorrow morning. we'll see!!! i am being optimistic, however.
well sweet lady i guess i better get busy preparing for this marvelous day. i hope you have some rain, but no flooding please.
have a wonderful, blessed day Melisa.
blessings and love are on the way to you.

Oh my you are a little busy 'beaver' these days--always coming up with new patterns and then sharing them with us--and yes--I have copied off several--though I am not sure when I will get to work on any of them--but then with me--one never knows?????--I think I am about caught up on all the extra work I have had to do in the apartment--my tote of fall decorations--is still sitting there calling my name--I mean Thanksgiving is less that a week away and then it's that Merry jingle all the way time--I have made myself go outside and sit in the sun for the last 5 days or so for 15 minutes and I do believe it is helping some!!!! Well off to do some sorting and putting some fabrics away--stay dry--hugs, di
