Is it too early for a Christmas Parade? Hmmm... Maybe. But I know all of you Christmas lovers think it is never too early. Right? Hee! Hee!
Sooo... if you are up to it. Grab a big mug of hot cocoa, scoop in some marshmallow and sit back with me as I skip down memory lane. There will be lots of Christmas stitches and doodles that I have shared in the past. And perhaps it will get you in the Christmas mood.
🎅🤶 Fair warning, this is post has loads of photos. 🎅🤶

I hope you enjoy. 💚❤

Aaw you so welcome and thank you Rita for taking the time to visit me. I hope you had a lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteIt's Christmas in July, baby! LOL! We're big on the Hallmark and Great American channels and that's mostly what they have right now. Poor dh just shakes his head and "lets" me watch! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great post! I know I've made a few of them but I sure do love seeing them again here plus some great ideas for this year - you are so generous - many many thanks!
Blessings!
LOL I have been watching Christmas movies too plus I just noticed Pluto TV has the festive fireplace channel running- love it. I am so very grateful that you have stitched some of these stitches. It warms my heart; thank you, Donna. Hugs.
DeleteAmazing Melisa!! (Standing ovation) I have so many favorites. I love seeing Christmas in July!!
ReplyDeleteAaw shucks, Thank you so much, Linda. Can you tell that I love the Christmas season? Hee! Hee! Have a great afternoon. Hugs.
DeleteBeautiful Parade Melisa! I see a lot of designs that I love. It's always a good idea to start stitching for Christmas in July, so that we're ready when the time comes.
ReplyDeleteHugs
Aaw thank you so much, Diana. I agree just working on pieces a little at a time helps me beat the rush come Christmas time. Have a blessed day. Hugs
DeleteI do love a great Christmas parade, Melisa...especially in the heat we are experiencing right now. You have so many gorgeous and fun stitches. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, B
ReplyDeleteLOL it makes you think of cooler weather doesn't it? Thank you so much, Brenda. I am enjoying all of the Christmas in July posts throughout blogland. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteI love showcases of Christmas projects, and for me, it’s never too early to enjoy them, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI had already seen many of them—and even stitched one myself (😁)—but I loved seeing them all gathered together in a single post.
Thanks for sharing.
Hugs
Aaw thank you so much, Isabel. It was a joy to pull the parade of stitches together. It inspires me to work on more Christmas. Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteSuch an abundance of Christmas goodness. This is a wonderful review of all the things I want to do and all the things I have done already. You are so generous. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAaw shucks, Thank you so much, Ginny. If only we had more hours in the day to complete all of the things we want to do . Right? Hee! Hee! I hope you have had a lovely day. Hugs.
DeleteI always love a parade. Especially a fantastic one of Christmas stitching. There are so many amazing patterns. I need to get busy stitching.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Lisa. I am pretty excited about Christmas in July this year. Last year I was sorta off my game on Christmas stitching so I might as well get ahead. Have a blessed day. Hugs
DeleteYou have a wonderful parade of Christmas designs for us to stitch, Melisa! Thank you for sharing them. I had actually started the Santa from your "Speaking of" series, and then set him aside after Christmas last year. I think I will be having a little Christmas in July myself!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun that you are bringing Santa out to complete. I hope you enjoy finishing the little fella and I am so grateful that you are stitching him. He was a fun one for me to stitch and share. Thank you so much, Diann. Hugs.
DeleteI absolutely love this post and your photos, creations and decor are gorgeous and refreshing! It is very hot and humid here in Montreal, Canada, and your post has been truly a refreshing and heartwarming rest from it! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Linda. It is fun to dream of Christmas time and cooler weather when it is as hot as it has been . Isn't it? I hope that you get some relief from the heat soon. We got another spot of rain this afternoon which was nice. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteYour Winter Saltbox is adorable! Did you take those photos all at once, or are you just extremely organized, Melisa? Asking for a friend!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Nancy. Winter Saltbox is one of my favorites. Oh I work on my parade post all throughout the year which makes it easier when I get ready to post , but I wouldn't say that I am organized . Hee! Hee! I hope you have had a great day. Hugs.
DeleteWonderful parade. All of your designs are so fun. I have stitched 31 of these and I can see I need to stitch faster LOL. July is a great time to organize and start on my Christmas stitching list. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing your talent. Alicia
ReplyDeleteWow Alicia! I am amazed and so honored. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I cannot tell you how much that means to me . I hope you enjoyed each and every one. This brings me more joy than you will ever know. Hugs and Blessings.
