The Coffee Table

Good morning!
Yesterday the family room coffee table got a transformation! My daughter had gotten a buffet from a thrift store and painted it this color ..Rust-oleum chalk paint tinted Lake Blue.. I loved it and thought it would be perfect for the coffee table.. A few months ago I had used the Linen white from
  Rust-oleum to paint it and after we got new furniture it was just too white ..
My old stitching chair which is now Chelsea's stitching chair :)

It started out this really dark brown ..and the top was pretty messed up ( kids let loose in the house )

I love it .. and it was even better because my daughter painted and dark waxed it for me ! We distressed the edges a little bit and she put a couple coats of the dark wax on...The other side of the table has a drawer that we either need to paint the knobs  , or get new knobs for ..they are silver. Isn't it great ! There is lots of grey in the furniture so the blue grey is a great accent ..

A Little Fall Wreath

Hello friends!
My daughter stitched this Country Cottage Needleworks Seasonal Celebrations ( the top portion only) and I finished it into a wreath for her. We had used this wreath for the Summer chart , using ribbon to tie it to the wreath....but I thought it would be better to use burlap for the background and add sheet metal to the back of the stitching and a magnet to the burlap for easy changing out for the seasons..

She hangs the wreath on the hutch in her kitchen.. The fall leaves are just stuck into the wreath not glued so they can also be changed.
There is a piece of sticky board with burlap.. on top of that is a magnet.. I mounted the stitched piece to sticky board and also the plaid homespun to another piece of sticky board. Those 2 pieces were glued together..I use hot glue.. and then a small piece of sheet metal to the back of that.  That way each season can be switched up in about 2 minutes!
There is a new video ...click the link below!

This weeks video...

These are the colors I used ,I think only the green was changed .. its stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave.. to finish it I mounted it on sticky board..then mounted a piece of homespun plaid on another piece of sticky board.. glued those together and then attached them to this burlap frame that I had purchased at Walmart a couple years ago.. I made 3 flowers from twine and covered 3 buttons.. getting excited to decorate for Fall!

Sunflower Farm Chalkboard

Happy Monday!

I finally got around to redoing the chalkboard on the mantel.. 

I kept the truck but removed all the patriotic bunting and flowers and replaced it all with sunflowers and bees. I added some sunflowers to the mantel and a basket of cut from the garden hydrangeas on the hearth..I am all set until I start to decorate for Fall in a couple weeks!

Fresh from The Farm

Good morning friends!
Another wreath got made yesterday and look at how wonderful it is! This is my daughters stitching of Farm Fresh  from Country Cottage Needleworks.. stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave .

so.. my daughter had the fresh produce sign..I hot glued that to the wreath , Then I mounted the stitching on sticky needlework board , and mounted some homespun black and tan check to another piece of sticky board and glued them together. I attached it to the back of the sign with a strip of fabric , and then needed something more secure so I used the sticks you put into cake pops to hold both pieces together. Use what you have ...right ? :)

I used burlap wired ribbon, pieces of ripped homespun , some greenery, sunflowers and the green thistle branches to make the bow .. This is going to hang in her kitchen ..originally we were just going to hang the stitching from the sign but I think the wreath looks amazing and will be a really beautiful addition to her kitchen.. Thanks so much for your visit,,, we are off to the Wisconsin State Fair today ...hope the rain  holds off for us!
