Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Do you have your green on? Pinchy, pinchy! I always made sure as a child that I had something green on when I went to school for eagle eyed peers were looking to give a pinch to anyone not sporting green.
Will you be celebrating today?


Mr. Pinker and I will be out and about on our date day- aka Walmart pickup and the Goodwill! I am sure we will grab something to eat before making our way home.



May your day be filled with blessings, joy and love. Thank you for visiting me on this happy holiday.

As Always, 

Happy  Stitching and Quilting, y'all

Spinning Hearts, Four Patches, and A Pot of Gold- A St. Patrick's Day Freebie

Eeeh! It's Tiny Tuesday! Do you have a teeny weeny project in the works for today? Perhaps a quilt or a stitch? Anything will do as long as you are having fun. ๐Ÿค—



Welcome,  precious friends. Please do come in and join me. May I offer you a cup of coffee? It is piping hot. Or how about a big glass of sweet iced tea?  I would love for you to join me as we sit , chat and stitch away. 

The other day, I went to the Dollar Tree. It has been a spell since I had been there so  I thought I would drop in and take a gander at their Spring decor and such.  Well my wondering eye spotted a pair of little boxes in a 2 pack which I thought would be fabulous finishing pieces. Sooooo, I snatched them up for a $1.25.  ๐Ÿ˜€









When I got home , I pulled out one of the teeny stitches that I shared with you when I was camping, Spinning Hearts. I just knew I could finish it on one of the little boxes. Though I had cut my fabric small, with a wee bit of effort I was able to stretch it over a piece of cardboard and attach it to the lid of the smallest hexi paper mache box. Besides I do have another hexi box waiting in the wings. ๐Ÿ˜€

I used DMC floss colors 3011, 223 and 371. 

  I then rummaged through my scrap bin, tore some fabric and glued it to the box. Wahlah! A new finish to display with my Spring decor!  Looking back , I wish I had stitched the hearts in red.  Oh well, I may stitch another in the near future. 


Oooh ! Look at these teeny four patches. I know . I know. ๐Ÿ˜ They are nothing fancy-, but they have possibilities of being turned into something sweet . Don't ya' think? Perhaps I will work on this project later this afternoon. 


Meanwhile, I am just itching to share just one more St. Patty's Day stitch with you, and then I am headed full force into spring stitching. 

May I introduce  Pot of Gold Stamp

It didn't take long to stitch this little stamp up. If I timed it correctly , it only took 2 shakes of a lamb's tail. Hee! Hee! 

Anywhooo,  I just used 4  DMC floss colors including DMC 783, 3345, 3364 and 3371.

Fabric scraps and a bit of lace made for a good pillow finish.

Leprechauns, Ewes and Clovers- 2026 St. Patrick's Day Parade of Stitches

Good afternoon, Sweeties.  A little birdie told me it was time for a parade- A Parade of Stitches that is. Every year I try to add at least 1 St. Patrick's Day stitch to my collection. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’š ๐Ÿ€ I do not have much in respect to St. Patty's decor, but slowly it is growing stitch by stitch.

 

Image from Pinterest


 I would be so delighted if you would join me as I look back at some of the freebies that I have shared over the years. I am sure we will see marching ewes and clovers galore. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘☘๐Ÿ€

March Already? And a March Doodle Freebie

 Good mornings, Sweet friends and Happy March! Wow ! It is hard to believe it is March already. Slow down 2026! - well that is what I say at least. 



"March" a freebie from Rainbow Gallery website, Shamrocks Word Stitch a freebie from Helen D. on her flosstube #76Putting on the Green and Shamrock Mini Sampler freebies of mine. 


Mr. Pinker and I are making our way eastward. Soon the ole' truck and camper will be roaring into the driveway.   Along the way, I am sure we will stop at a few thrift shops- perhaps I will find a treasure or two. Fingers crossed . Hee ! Hee! 

Luck Truck

If the lull of the road does not put me asleep , which it often does, I have a few stitching projects to work on. One of which is my March embroidery  called "Welcoming March"

A little doodle just for you. 


My doodles are hand drawn and are never perfect. ❤


UPDATE: June 6, 2026.  I have done some additional work on the Welcoming March Roundabout.


The Roundabout was stitched on 8 1/2" x 8 1/2"  (unfinished) white fabric. 

It is framed with 20 -  2 1/2" squares (unfinished) .

The Roundabout Block  with Scrappy Borders Measures:  12 1/2" x 12 1/2" ( unfinished) .


If you missed any of the other Roundabouts, click on the links below and you will be magically transported back to the post with the doodle.

Frosty Chill Roundabout  , Love Mail Roundabout , and Welcoming March. 

I will keep this post short and sweet today. If you have a chance, I invite you to  drop by later this evening for a St. Patrick's Day Parade. I meant to post it earlier, but time got away from me. 

Hands on Designs "Year in Chalk- March"

May your day be filled with many blessings. Love ya'!

As Always...
