I am sewing on a pair of britches today!
No not for me! For Mr. Scarecrow in my newest stitch that I am working on called "Pumpkins, Crows and a Scarecrow"
Actually, Mr. Pinker and I are trucking on down the road which gives me a good amount of time to work on some projects .
Do you enjoy stitching as you are riding in a vehicle? Or do you find yourself drifting into slumberland from the lull of the road? Me- well both.
Sooooo....
Have you made your plans for the week?
Though I will be visiting family members, I do hope to work on a few projects while away. I hope you do not mind if I share them with you.
Hmm.... What Should I do This Week?
🌞1. Work on October's Tiny House.

| Tiny Pumpkin House in the works. |
🌞2. Work on October's Roundabout stitch.
🌞3. Seek out some fabulous thrift shops. Hmmm. maybe find some treasures.
🌞4. Applique on my Berries and Butterflies quilt blocks.
🌞5.Whatever other mischief I can get into. Now that should not be too hard.😁😇
As Mr. Pinker and I are away, I do have some preplanned posts for the week. Please do forgive me if it takes me a few days to get back with you. I never know how much internet service we will have or what we will get into, but I am sure you understand.
Well , Sweeties. I better let you get to your busy day. I wish you a humdinger of a week - in a good way! Love ya'!
As Always...
Happy Stitching and Quilting, y'all

1 work on October tiny house
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to finishing the October house. Hopefully, it will be stitched and ready to share very soon. I am so very grateful that you stopped by for a sweet visit. Have a blessed and beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteHave a lovely family visit. Try not to get into too much mischief!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, Susie. We are having a great visit. I haven't got into too much mischief- yet! Hee! Hee! Have a fabulous day, sweetie. Hugs.
DeleteYour new stitch looks to be a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteHave a good time visiting with family!
I try to stitch while traveling - takes a lot longer considering some of the roads we travel ;-)
Looking forward to the new tiny house!'
Blessings and safe travels!
Aaw thank you so much, Donna. I know what you mean about trying to stitch while traveling. We hit some bumpy roads which did not make smooth sailing for stitching, but that's ok. LOL. Have a fabulous day. Warm hugs.
DeleteCan’t wait to see the finished Tiny Pumpkin House. 🎃 Enjoy your getaway and visit with family. K from NY
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, K. I am hoping the tiny house will be done soon. They usually do not take too long to whip up. We are having a great time with family. It is nice to get away every now and then. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteI never stitch while traveling. Since I was a little girl, I have always enjoyed just looking out the window. No matter where we are, there are so many things to see!
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean, Linda. I usually put down my needle and thread once we get off the interstate. I enjoy seeing all of the sights on the back roads. I love looking at not only the landscape but the houses too. Thank you for the sweet visit. I hope you are having a lovely week. Hugs.
DeleteHappy stitching and safe travels. I used to cross stitch in the car, but it seems I stick myself to many times from the bumpy roads so I turned to crochet or knitting instead.
ReplyDeleteOh I know what you mean about the bumpy roads ; they usually cut my stitching time short too. Sometimes, I just have to work on my applique. LOL But Crochet is a great idea. I bought some new yarn that I am hoping to make a potholder with. Thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteSafe travels. Visiting family is always a win. I can't stitch or read or anything much in the vehicles. I have motion sickness something fierce and after too many mishaps, I don't mess with it any more. So it is just watching the scenery out in front of me as we go down the road. So many pretties to work on and they all are looking really great. You are so generous to us.
ReplyDeleteOh it is, Ginny. We are having a great visit. Aaw how unfortunate to have motion sickness. Bless your heart. I am sure curvy windy roads wreaks havoc on your stomach. Viewing the pretty scenery is always nice though. You never know what you might spot when traveling.Have a blessed day and thank you for the sweet visit. Hugs.
DeleteHoping for safe travels for you two. Someitmes I try to read but, sewing takes me too many jabs. Enjoy your trip.
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you so much, dear. We have made it to our destination and are having great time. Oh I know what you mean about the jabs; especially on bumpy roads - that is when I lay down my needle and thread and enjoy the ride. LOL. Hugs and Blessings.
DeleteDear friend, I absolutely love your stitching! I wish you a safe and enjoyable trip!
ReplyDeleteAaw thank you very kindly, Linda. You are always so positive and encouraging. We are having a lovely time and visit with family. Thankfully , the weather is nice too. I hope you are having a lovely week. Hugs.
DeleteI hope you have a wonderful time visiting your family, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteI think the pumpkin house is going to be one of my favorites.
I'm worried that all the blogs in Europe are in the same boat, with no updates on the dashboard for posts from other blogs. Let's hope they fix it soon.
Hugs
It is so curious as to what is going on with Blogger. It makes one think doesn't it. I hope that Blogger is fixed soon. Fingers crossed. I am so very grateful for the kind compliments on my new house, Isabel. I think it will be one of my favorites too. I hope you like it. Hugs and Blessings. And thank you for dropping by.
DeleteI am loving those pumpkins and can't wait to see the finished designs. I can't work on projects while riding in a car due to motion sickness, but I can sleep. Have a wonderful time on your trip and be safe. Happy thrifting.
ReplyDeleteOh I hear that motion sickness is terrible. Bless your heart. I often find myself falling asleep on long trips. LOL. The new pumpkin house is working up rather quickly. I cannot wait to share it on the 1st. I hope you are having a fabulous week, Alicia. Thank you for the sweet Monday visit. Hugs.
DeleteI finished my Stitcher's Suitcase for my Featherweight yesterday, so this week I am focusing on Marigold Mystery blocks and my final big block for Highland Heifers! Have fun on your trip, enjoy your family, and happy thrifting. I look forward to seeing your new treasures!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh you are staying busy, Brenda. I cannot wait to see your projects especially the new heifer. They are the cutest! We are having a grand time with the family. I cannot thank you enough for the sweet visit. Have a blessed day. Hugs.
DeleteYou've selected some nice projects for your trip. I'm catching up on housework, continuing a stitching project from my recent retreat and hope to get around to sewing Sewcialites 3's last block...finally!
ReplyDeleteOh I cannot wait to hear more about the retreat Jeanna. I bet you had a grand time. I am sure you are super excited to get into your quilting room and start on those blocks. Hopefully those "back home chores" will not take too long. Enjoy your day , sweet friend and thank you so much for catching up on my blog posts. Hugs.
DeleteEnjoy the visit with your family.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Kate. We are having a great time with our youngest. The weather is nice though hot. I haven't been able to get in as much Stitching time but that is ok . Have a beautiful day. Hugs.
DeleteWhat fun you are having. I do not do things in the car - i get car sick so if all will allow - I am the driver!!!
