The Prettiest Bunny in the Garden


Good morning!
Isn't she the prettiest bunny in the garden ?


I love drawing up new chalkboards for the season and this one just screams Spring! I would so love to stitch this one!
 Ronnie is loving the new chalkboard and that black lump on the next chair is Calvin hiding out :)



This is a vintage frame that I had a board cut to fit and painted with chalkboard paint it hangs on the wall going into the kitchen from the family room ,,



The tulip wreath that we showed the tutorial for is right across from the chalkboard on the basement door ..

Spring has definitely arrived inside but there is snow falling outside !

Spring Tiered Tray

Happy Sunday!
It is cold and the wind is howling outside but inside is looking all springy!
I L-O-V-E my tiered tray and decorate it for every season ..I love finding little thrifted pieces to fit into the tray .. For spring ..it is filled with bunnies ..eggs.. baby ducks.. lambs ear .. tulips .. chalk painted mason jars filled with tulips .. buffalo check ribbons .. rae dunn little bowls and a creamer



It sits on my kitchen table and looks so pretty with the hutch behind it ..
A little chalkboard sits front and center .. with bunnies peeking out of everywhere ..

My tray came from Sam's club a few years ago ..

These little bowls with the cute little duck are my favorite ..
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bunny Row

Happy Thursday! 
I finished stitching this Bent Creek Easter Row this morning and had to get it put up on the wall since my Christmas Row was still up :)
I switched up all the floss colors .. I used all Classic Colorworks .. Eggshell, Pumpkin Harvest, Ladybug, Rosy Glow, Straw hat , Bean sprout, Dublin Bay Snowball, Queen Bee and Black coffee ..I stitched it on 28 count evenweave light grey ..tea/ coffee dyed 

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


I have this vintage window that all the other rows have been displayed on .. So, I mounted the stitching on sticky board and then mounted black buffalo checks on another piece of sticky board .. I glued them together and added magnets on the back since I have metal pieces glued onto the window ..

It hangs over the door into the family room from the kitchen .. I found the Welcome banner at Walmart .. It was a vertical banner so I took it apart and spray painted 2 of the letters black ..
It looks so cute up there .. I just love it!

This weeks You Tube video ..
Have a great day!

Blesss Our Home Wreath 2


Good morning and happy Sunday! 
I finished up this wreath for Chelsea.. this is Bless Our Home from Country Cottage Needleworks .. this was one of our stitchalongs #pcblessourhome
It is sunny inside but this is what it looks like outside .. supposed to snow all day :)

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
this was my Bless our Home ..also finished into a wreath .. but before I hang it up again this year it is going to get some more foofing! :)
We both changed up the dog in the chart .. Chelsea added 2 more dogs and mine I just changed the colors to look like Ronnie 


I mounted the stitching on sticky board and also mounted big red checks on sticky board and glued them together .. I found the truck at Big Lots last year .. I wired the truck to the grapevine wreath and glued the stitching to the little sign that hangs under the truck ..
Then the fun began .. greenery ..lots of gingham ribbons .. and daisies in yellow and white were added all over ! Lots of glue was used ! It is so pretty in person and so summery!

A Jar Full of Bunnies!

Happy Saturday friends!
The spring decor is moving in !
Yesterday I just had to get these bunnies stuffed in their jar :)
This chalkboard is in a vintage frame in the family room .. It has had snowmen in it up until now ..

I just love the bunnies and the carrots! I am not even close to all the spring decor being out but these bunnies were screaming to be drawn :)
The bunny in the top of the tiered tray is a Prairie Schooler and of course there is hippity hop from the Carrots and Cottontails Farm chart !

Spring String


Good morning!
I finished stitching Lizzie Kate's Spring String a couple days ago and finished it up this morning! This is my last string to stitch! 
Of course I changed up the colors .. :) I stitched it on tea/ coffee dyed light grey 28 count evenweave 
I used Classic Colorworks ..Black Coffee.. Rain Shower.. Ladybug ..Rosy Glow.. Queen Bee.. Pumpkin Harvest .. Brown Sugar .. Bean Sprout.. Straw Hat and Eggshell .. 
I mounted it on sticky board .. and mounted black buffalo check to another piece of sticky board .. I glued them together ( I only Use Hot Glue)  for the decoration I used a egg pick .. made a bow from blue gingham .. added some blue flowers .. and a gingham carrot in the center of the bow ..


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

I use magnets and washers to attach the pieces so I can change this out for all the seasons!


I took down all my winter decor and started springing up the house yesterday .. It will probably take me a few days to get it all decorated .. Did you know we have a facebook group ? Stitching with the housewives! Come join us!
