Though this is another jammie kinda day with all of the rainy weather that has set in, I will not be staying in today. Mr. Pinker and I are going to venture out to do a bit of Christmas shopping.
Freebie Flossmas has begun on Instagram. I have been enjoying seeing all of the fabulous freebies that are available, and of course, I have been enabled . So I have set to the task of printing off so many for myself. One always needs a new start. Don't you think?
One of my most recent finishes is "Joy , a freebie"from Luminous Fiber Arts. I stitched mine in DMC 498 . I was able to stitch it up in just 2 1/2 hours. Misty posted it on July 5, 2022 on her website.
I have a wee start on Stone Street Stitchworks "Home Again" freebie. Salma has all kinds of cute freebies as well.
For me, December would not be complete if I did not share a new saltbox/ house stitch. This grand ole' house is called Christmas at Underwood Lane. It is a very simple Christmas here at Underwood Lane. I named this stitch after distant grandparents who did not live in a grand home, but their love I am sure made their children feel as though they did.
This stitch measures 73 x 70 and on 14 count aida that would bring it to about 4 3/4" x 5".
I used 9 DMC floss colors. The house is stitched in 729 Medium Old Gold. I have always dreamed of living in a yellow house. ๐ก๐๐ค
I stitch my little designs for fun and to decorate my home. I feel very blessed by this community and love sharing my little charts, but I am not a professional designer. And I do not have professional software. Thank you for understanding . I am always grateful for your kind encouragement , your visits, and for stitching my little designs.
Happy Stitching and Quilting, ya'll
Melisa
May your days be merry and bright.
Hugs and Stitches and warm winter wishes!!!!๐ค๐งต❤
