June Cottage

 Good Morning ! I F-I-N-A-L-L-Y finished the June cottage from Country Cottage Needleworks..At least there are still a fewdays left in the month to display it !
 I didn't use the green floss for the door or the windows. Love the little strawberries !
 It sits on the sidetable in the family room with The June wordplay  ..

 I used a magnet and a piece of sheet metal again to attatch to the burlap lined frame ..The frame was a mirror I got at the good will and added the burlap to.


There has been alot of gardeneing going on around here.. I added these 3 Annabelle hydrangeas to my front planting bed ..I can't wait until they get huge and full of flowers ! I also dug out alot of the hostas in the front and changed some things around. I will show you all that when the plants recover from being moved. I also had my boys help me dig out another planting bed in the front all along the fence. I planted more hydrangeas there .( I am obsessed )  2 Incrediballs and a hydrangea tree ! I will also show you that once I get it mulched and things are blooming.
My daughter and I went to the flea market last Sunday and I got these cute vintage ducks.. $5.00 for the pair.. So they are on the porch with some of the thrift store baskets we planted with flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by and your nice comments !Have a great weekend !

Baby Crochet and a Baby !!


I have been crocheting a little bit for the new grandson ! I made this elephant blanket in pale grey and white stripes ..I couldn't find an elephant aplique that I liked so I came up with this on my own .. Then I used white yarn and did a blanket stitch around it..Wish I would have written down what I did !( The blanket pattern is from Poochie baby on Etsy ..Its the owl blanket pattern..)
 I made this stocking cap to go with the red and  white stripe cocoon .. and here is the precious new grandson ...He was born on June 13..These photos were taken at 6 days old.. My daughter and I did his photo shoot..I think we did pretty good for amateurs !
 This blanket I made for the last grandson..Its the Moogly blackberry salad blanket
 The sock monkey set was also made for the last grandson .. I made the diaper cover and came up with my own design for the tail.. The little fuzzy aviator hat and blanket set was also made for the last grandson ..
The whole cute family :) My oldest son, daughter in law and the 3 boys !

Hope you all have wonderful weekends ! Thanks so much for stopping by and your nice comments !
 I appreciate all of you !

She's A Grand Old Flag !

 It's that red, white and blue time of year ! I redid the seasonal chalkboard that is on the wall going into the kitchen this weekend..  I got the frame at a garage sale last summer , and had a board cut to fit at Home Depot... Then painted the board with chalkboard paint. You can see the patritotic table runner , and also the patriotic tray by clicking them ...

 You can see the Fall , Christmas , Winter , Spring , and April to May Chalkboards by clicking the month !
Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet comments ! Have a great week ! I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest , Etsy..all the links are in the sidebar !

June Stitching

 Good morning !
I finally finished this months With Thy Needle and Thread Wordplay ! I think I stitched it twice because of all the mistakes I had to rip out ! I used sheet metal on the back to attach to the magnet on the tray ..The tray is painted with chalkboard paint. So easy to change out each month!

 I used a blue gingham for the backgound ..
 I need to find a couple faux strawberries for the vignette ! Hope I can find them before the June cottage is finished :)
 I am very excited because last year I stitched July and August of both the wordplay and the monthly cottage so all I have to do is mount them :) If you would like to see February , March , April and May ..just click on the month !
Hope you all have wonderful weekends ! Thanks so much for stopping by and your nice comments !
 I appreciate all of you !
