A Jar full of Snowy !

Happy Sunday !

The mason jar chalkboard is now filled up with snowmen!  We actually got a couple inches of snow last night .. we haven't had very much at all this winter!

This chalkboard is in my family room and hangs over the vintage buffet.. It's a very vintage frame that I had a board cut to fit..and then painted with chalkboard paint .. my oval galvanized tiered tray sits on the buffet full of vintage and newer putz type houses.. I leave my winter decor up until sometime in February when I transition to spring!

Jolly Happy Soul from With Thy needle and thread also sits on the buffet ..

A Little January Finish..

Happy Thursday friends!

I stitched this little Hands on Design Year of Celebrations January..I switched up the colors and I do love how it ended up!
For the finishing .. I found this metal drawer/ box at Hobby Lobby .. I glued a wood block on the inside .. then added a gingham covered piece of sticky board ..I used black gingham because black pretty much goes with everything :)

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I used floss colors from Classic Colorworks .. Ribbon Red .Snowball...and Black Coffee.. 28 count grey tea/coffee dyed fabric

I used a magnet on top of the box for the bow embellishments and a magnet glued to the gingham  to attach the stitching .. I tore a strip of buffalo plaid fabric and ruffled it around the piece .. and added a bow of buffalo check .. some flocked greenery and one of the snowman bells tied on with baker's twine ..It is very cute! I plan to stitch almost all of the other month charts .. so they can be added to this box with no problem!

 I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. then added another piece of sticky board covered in a plaid homespun .. then a red homespun torn ruffle behind the stitching ..I used a piece of barn wood to mount it on ( Chelsea cut it for me :) Then I attached a wood snowman I bought at a church rummage sale to the side for 25 cents I think :) ..

A Snowman in a Tray

Happy Sunday!

This is Candy Cane wishes from With Thy Needle and Thread 

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I left off the candy cane to make it more winter than Christmas .. and stitched it using Classic Colorworks floss in the colors .. Mistletoe..Licorice Red.. Four Leaf Clover.. Autumn Spice ...12 Grain..Black Coffee .. I stitched it on blue coffee tea dyed 28 count 

I also use this same tray for Jingle all the way 

and Spirits and Spells  

I found this tray in Missouri last spring .. I chalk painted it off white and added some glaze for distressing .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 pieces of warm and natural batting in between .. a magnet stacked on small pieces of sticky board in the bottom of the tray to raise it up enough for the washer on the back of the stitching to attach .. I used a green plaid homespun for the trim and a red plaid bow and a jingle bell snowman .. It is super cute!

This weeks flosstube .. There's a snake in my boots :)
