It's another beautiful day! Welcome , my friends. I am a Happy Camper! " Why?" you ask. Mr. Pinker and I are going on our first camping trip of the year. - Just a weekend trip but eeeh! It is still a nice getaway. Yesterday was such a relaxing day. Lots of weeds were pulled from the gardens, and then the rest of the afternoon was spent stitching. In just a few hours, I stitched and finished this darling freebie called "Love" from Stitchy McFloss and which is available on her blog in the Feb. 9, 2022 post. I'm thinking this stitch will have to stay out with my strawberry displays come springtime. Today is my embroidery day! And I have a new quilt that I am working on. It is called Summer Days. Can you tell I am dreaming of warm weather? The first block is called "Little Blue Birdie" . This is a work in progress like my Frosty McChill quilt was. I am dreaming of bee skeps, baskets of flowers, mason jars, sheep, berries and gardening in the future blocks. Maybe 12 blocks. You know I am a fly by the seat of pants kinda gal, but I have cut out that many blocks so far. The unfinished size of my quilt block is 6 1/2 inches - finished size will be 6 inches. I have already started pulling fabrics . I am thinking scrappy sashing, but I haven't settled on that yet. A new block is fixing to be put in the hoop. I hope to have it completed next week. If you would like to join in or create your own little project , I would be tickled pink. Since this is my "Thursday" project. I will be posting new blocks on Thursday. Click here for doodle. Other than my embroidery work, I have one more project to work on today before we hit the road - the grandbaby's Valentine box for school. One has been completed. A happy little marshmallow head at the request of my youngest grandbaby. A Pokemon box will be made next. Thank you , my sweeties for the Thursday visit. Wishing you the most blessed day. Keep those needles on fire and stay beautiful, my friends. As always... Happy stitching and quilting, ya'll, Melisa Spread your wings and let your spirit soar. HUGS and STITCHES!!! I am joining these lovely ladies' link parties. I hope you check them out; they always have so many wonderful projects going on and provide the opportunity for other needleworkers to meet.

I am EXTREMELY excited!!!!!! My excitement stems from the fact that this upcoming Sunday begins my NEW Quarter with the KIDDOS. We are continuing to EXPLORE Bible History. We will be wearing our "Explorer Hats" and singing "We Are Bible Explorers." We do this at the beginning of each NEW Quarter. Since we left off with David and Goliath...we will be picking up with David and Jonathan. I love the story of David and Jonathan because it is truly a story of BEST friends. We learn so much about TRUE friendship when we study the friendship of David and Jonathan. Home Connection Workbook We have a few NEW additions to this Quarter's Material. I have added a "HOME CONNECTION" Workbook. I hope the Workbook will spawn more interaction between the parents and children as they review the lessons that they have learned. I am looking forward to seeing the response to the new Workbook. I will keep you posted on the reaction of both the PARENTS and the Kiddos. Memory Verse Sticker Page The inside of the Home Connection Workbook is fill with Puzzles, Memory Verse Work, Questions, etc. I have also included a Memory Verse Sticker Page....The Kiddos will place a sticker in each square IF they know their Memory Verse. Assigned on 1st Sunday Assigned on 2nd Sunday THIS is this weeks and next weeks Home Connection Workbook Pages. The Kiddos will have from Sunday to Sunday to complete the pages. (I am currently teaching each lesson for 2 weeks.) The first week we introduce the lesson...the second week we will REVIEW the lesson, making sure the KIDDOS really understood what they learned. Now on with what we will be doing during class THIS Sunday. To introduce the lesson on David and Jonathan I am going to ask the KIDDOS if they know what the meaning of the word FRIENDSHIP. We will add the word FRIEND to our WORD-WALL. I will also, ask them if they know what the word JEALOUS means. We will add that word to our WORD-WALL too. We will have several CARDS to add to our Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How? WALL. Because, I like to make sure the KIDDOS can answer these questions about our lessons we have a entire WALL of our Classroom dedicated to the Who? What? When? Where? and Why? of each lesson. As we get into the story I will be using these visuals. They were easily made...I used a clip art program, a bit of manipulation of the pictures then printed and laminated them. Because, I wanted them to stand up, I stuck them to these picture easels that I bought at the Dollar Tree. I LOVE having eye catching VISUALS.... We will also be singing the song, "DAVID AND JONATHAN WERE BEST FRIENDS." by: rld. The KIDDOS will be making their OWN Quiver as their TAKE HOME project. These are made from PRINGLES and Yarn. The arrows are made from a variety of colored cardstock. Each arrow has a quality of GOOD FRIENDSHIP on it. The kiddo will color and add the stickers. I know the BOYS are going to be VERY EXCITED about this activity. :) Our Memory Verse is Proverbs 17:17. I thought this was a PERFECT MEMORY VERSE for this lesson. The KIDDOS get a MV card just like this one. They can color the picture and take it home as a reminder of the need to MEMORIZE their Memory Verse. During Class we will sing this to the tune: Frere Jacques. I have added a "NEW" place to our MAP. I added "The Stone of Ezel" which is said to be in a field between Ramah and Nob. I love having a KID friendly map up in our room. Review Game is a BOW and ARROW Game!!! Questions For Our Review Game Target For Our Review Game Our REVIEW game will surly be very exciting!!! The kiddos will get an opportunity to SHOOT an ARROW!!! My plans are for the kiddos to ANSWER one of the question from the lesson (I printed them on ARROWS to go along with the lesson.) after which they will get the opportunity to shoot an arrow at the target! (The bow and arrow are a nerf style product. I purchased it at our local Walmart.) Next Sunday we will be REVIEWING this lesson and doing our EXPLORER JOURNAL Activity!!! The Explorer Journal Activity will consist of a Picture of David and Jonathan....the Kiddos will color it and add a BOW (made out of popcicle sticks) and a small arrow. I LOVE their LOVE of their Explorer Journals. I have had parents tell me that their past Explorer Journals have become some of their FAVORITE books to look through. I love it because it takes all those projects that have a tendency to end up in the floorboard of the car or left behind in the pew and keeps them in a SPECIAL place for the children to TREASURE! We are looking forward to an exciting Quarter. Please keep checking back and see the exciting times we are having during BIBLE CLASS. Blessings, Ronda
A Blog and Paper Doll Friend from Denmark generously offerred to share some beautifully drawn paper dolls that were featured on the backs of OTA boxes (an oatmeal cereal), most printed in the 50's. I'll be featuring these dolls over the next few weeks on Thursday Tab. These adorable girls were drawn by Ulla Pihl. p.s. I tried to find some information on OTA but couldn't. I don't know if it was a cold cereal, or a hot one, like oatmeal.In some of the scans, you can see the thick cardboard that the dolls were printed on. p.s.s. Blog Friend Jona sent a link to the maker of OTA, which turns out to be the same company that makes oatmeal in the US. I have a box in my cupboard right now. Thanks so much, Jona!
Happy Thursday friends! Let me just say that Math is one of favorite subjects to teach! Don't get me wrong, I love the other subjects as ...

Happy Needle and Thread Thursday, friends. I've just finished up another project for my book, and because it's a brand new free motion motif for me, today's peek is a close up of some free motion wind quilting. I'm so proud of the way the wind turned out (this is just one little section of the background). I'm sad that I can't show you what this wind is "blowing," but I promise it will be worth the wait. Until I can share some not-so-secret sewing, we'll have to ogle the party highlights extra hard- and there are a ton of ogle-worthy projects! Check out this fun quilt by Margo at MY Quilts and Crafts- Shannon at The Flemings Nine shared this pretty quilt- Take a look at this beauty by Nancy at Grace and Peace Quilting. I LOVE the photo of this one! This soft and sweet quilt is by Gretchen's Little Corner- And quiltingbydawn linked up this great quilt- Okay, ya'll! Let's party! 1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing! 2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others. 3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your post. 4. Spread the comment love far and wide! 5. Following me is not a requirement to link, but is so very appreciated! *If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)
