Christmas Stitching and Tumbleweeds

 I am tee totally thrilled! Eeeeh! 

Picture me spinning around in a circle with  a big grin on my face. 

Why am I so over the moon? 

Well, I just finished my 1st Christmas ornament for the year. Hee! Hee! 

Ok! That wasn't too exciting! But I am happy nonetheless. 

This little stitch is called "Waiting for Christmas"  from the Barnyard series. 

I haven't stitched one of these in a spell, and I tell you it was an absolute delight.  I even stitched up the borders for a 2nd one. If you are interested in this little stitch, let me know, and I will chart it up when I return home. 

Today I will gather my needle and threads and stitch up a 2nd ornie. 

Hmmm what else can this ole'  gal get into with a wirey needle. 

How about.... TUMBLEWEEDS!!!

I am finishing the 3rd block! 

I am quilting swirls in the windmill . 

I think I have enough to keep me busy. 

So what is on your agenda today? 

May your day be filled with love and blessings!

As Always...

Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all
