Mason Jar Chalkboard

Good morning!
Yesterday my daughter asked me if I could draw a mason jar filled with flowers on her chalkboard ..I said sure ..but I didn't think it was going to be good enough to hang up :) !
This was the frame I had borrowed and had a piece of wood cut to use for my mantel at Halloween

and again at Christmas..She had gotten this at a flea market for $5.00.. It is a huge frame and we left the original paint on it..

She loves it and so do I so it might be coming to a chalkboard at my house!

I still can't believe how well it turned out :)

This mornings sunset in the neighborhood..

R is for Rabbit ( Prairie Schooler)

We went to the Goodwill yesterday and look at these ! I have wanted some red transferware for 2 years to decorate the hutch in the kitchen at Christmastime.. woohoo!!! Is it time to decorate for Christmas yet ?!? :)

Another Prairie Schooler Santa underway ..I would have finished it this past Sunday but I ran out of DMC 221 .. This Sunday for sure ..

Another Prairie Schooler Spring design
My daughter took the chalkboard home last night and hung it but had to take it down because the picture hanging wire on the back is frayed and stretchy ... she needs to get some new wire but its going in her dining area .. we have been working on this area and I can't wait to show you when its finished ! It is awesome!

A Stitchy Spring Vignette

Happy Wednesday !
Last night I finished stitching With Thy Needle and Threads Springtime Messenger design.. I used mostly DMC floss for the design except for the bird.. and I changed the color of the urn to aqua blues instead of greens..

I framed it using a church rummage sale frame ( 50 cents) it's pretty chipped up and even has some paint splatter on it ...but I kind of like it that way to go with all the other vintage and chippy things in this basket..I mounted some green check fabric on a piece of needlework sticky board that would fir the inside of the frame on the top .. The frame was too deep to use if I were to traditionally frame the piece.. Just didn't look right. Then I used the sticky needlework board for the stitching and just hot glued it on. It is sitting in an easel on top of a bed of moss in a pedestal bowl..

I also glued the buttons down instead of sewing them .. Then I used a thread from some burlap ..tied little knots in it and glued to the top of each button..

Tiptoe Through The Tulips Chalkboard

Today was the day .. I erased the Be My Valentine Chalkboard ! It is so cold here ..its time to get some more Spring in the house.. Tulips and bees are the theme for this chalkboard.

I used white,pink, green , orange and yellow chalk...

Don't mind the "winter" chalkboard on top of the hutch ! That needs to be changed :)

A Little Spring

Good Morning..

I was getting a little tired of all the winter decorations in the house, so down they all came. It is definitely still winter outside !

I finished the Lizzie Kate 4 seasons spring design .. I am not a purple fan so I changed the purple to off white and yellow.. love it now ! A stack of cover less books tied with twine on top of a pedestal plate is where the new stitchery is..

I added my flea market cement ducks to the top of the aqua cabinet .. They seem like spring to me !

This little aqua phot easel frame came from Michael's and its the perfect size for these designs.

I am still working on my galvanized tiered tray for spring.. and I have moved it to the counter instead of the table. I made the Pioneer Womans double Chocolate white chocolate chip cookies yesterday .. they are amazing !

I finished this Country cottage needleworks ornament for the LHN CCN facebook group. Trying to do one ornament a month!

I took back a purse I got for Christmas and bought myself a new Kitchenaid mixer.. the color is aqua sky..Love it.. My old one was black ..it went to live at my daughters house. The first thing we made with it was the pretzel rolls from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.. They are wonderful !

Soon the yard will look like this again ! I am ready !!
