Brrr it is cold out there! What am I saying- it is downright bone chilling!
Welcome sweet friends and Happy Monday. We have been slammed with a cold spell. Schools were delayed 2 hours today so the kiddos would not have to brave the freezing temps so early in the morn.
These last few days, Mr. Pinker and I have been away enjoying Christmas festivities with family. The hustle and bustle of the soon- Right?
The countdown is on! 10 more days until the very special day.
Do you have all of your Christmas shopping completed? Nope , not me! Mr. Pinker and I will make our final run for gifts on Wednesday when we go to the big city.
I am still stitching Christmas and will do so till the end of the year. I had meant to post my newest "Speaking of Christmas " stitch earlier, but alas I was making merry with family and friends.
"Joy" is my latest finish. Super simple but oh so cute- well at least in my eyes.
Did you notice what I have "Joy" nestled in?
Well, the other day at the thrift store, I found a metal soap dish which is as cute as a two dollar button.😀❤ I had to have it perhaps to put in my prim bathroom. But alas it has not made it there yet. Hee! Hee! I am enjoying using it for my cross stitch displays right now.

Since it is as cold as the dickens outside, I plan to stay in and cozy up to some slow stitching time this afternoon.
Now you stay warm and cozy yourself. Thank you for the sweet visit and...
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting,
y'all

So glad to know you have been out spending time with family and friends, Melisa! That's the best part of this season, isn't it? "Joy" is a lovely design, and I'm putting it on my list! Right after I finish Santa which I've been working on recently. Have fun with your shopping - it's always such a good feeling to get that finished!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Diann. We have had a fun but busy few days with the kiddos. It felt good to just rest and piddle about the house today. Hopefully, we will get all of our shopping completed Wednesday. Fingers crossed. I hope you are enjoying stitching on Santa. He is one of my favorites in this series. Hugs.
DeleteFamily time is always nice but during the holidays, it is the BEST! Joy is an adorable little stitch, Melisa. I love all of the "Speaking of Christmas" pieces.
ReplyDeleteIt sure it, Jeanna! We have had a great time visiting family. More will be coming into town this next week so we are excited. Thank you for the sweet Monday visit. I wish you a lovely week. Hugs.
DeleteLovely holiday wordplay, Melisa!! Such cute pieces all!! We have been hunkered down here avoiding that cold, cold out there!! Hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteIt is a good time to stay in and avoid getting out in the cold if possible. I hope you were able to enjoy some stitching time. It was a good day here. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Julierose. Hugs.
DeleteSpending time with family is what I love most about these holidays.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like it!!
I loved this collection of Christmas words, Melisa!
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs from Seville
Oh I do too, Isabel especially when we can gather, enjoy quality time and relax. It makes it even more special. I wish you a lovely week and thank you for the kind compliment. Warm hugs
DeleteThank you for the beautiful pattern. Enjoy the time around Christmas !
ReplyDeleteAaw you are so welcome, Annelies and thank you for dropping by to see my little stitch today. I wish you a lovely week. Happy stitching. Hugs.
DeleteThank u for these patterns they r cute
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Lisa. These are simple little stitches, but I am enjoying creating and sharing them. Have a blessed day. Warm hugs.
DeleteLove "Joy" and all the other fabulous and oh so lovely Christmas themed patterns. Thank you for sharing your talent with us, once again. Christmas will be very quiet in my home since both grandsons will be working. Reminds me of my husband when he was active duty military and would volunteer to work so the younger guys could spend the day with their families. Didn't stop us from enjoying the day. Not much happening in my little corner of the world. Little to no sewing but last week I stitched like my hair was on fire. LOL I managed to pick up a bug while out with a neighbor friend so there was lots of sleeping and/or nodding off while sitting. It's not fun to fall asleep with my needle in my hand. Can you say ouch! Happy Monday and the holidays. Big Christmas hugs, DarleneJ
