Good morning!
This is Ye Old Crow from Heart In Hand Needleart ..
I think this is my first piece ever that is stitched in only one color of thread .. I started this in May for Styitchmaynia and this is my 11th Stitchmaynia finish ! I repeated the pumpkin on the left for the right side but made it a stitch higher and did a different stem and kind of doodled with thread the backstitch .. I also didn't add the button , but added more of the smyna stitches
I used Classic Colorworks Sticks and Twigs and a piece of evenweave that I had dyed with brown Rit dye .. then 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 mounted it on sticky board with 2 layers of batting ..I added a homespun plaid covered piece of sticky board to the back ,, I found the planked pumpkin at Hobby Lobby . I painted the leaves ( they were gold) with Lori Holt's chalky paint in the color Watering can .. I added a orange buffalo check bow and a velvet pumpkin .. It fits in perfectly with all the Fall decor !

Good morning!
I am so excited to share the next mason jar in the Chalkfull series! This is a chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Cathy at Hands On Design ..
Boo is a vintage blue mason jar filled with Jack O Lanterns!
The small piece is Boo with the cutest Jack O Lantern
Harvest was the first in the series and I have seen so many of you stitching and finishing it!
Mine is stitched on 28 count black evenweave .. with the called for floss colors
Ti finish the small I used the same enamel bucket from Hobby Lobby .. Mounted it an oval on sticky board with 2 layers pf batting underneath . I added Vintage trim ( ric rac ) from Lori Holt /Riley Blake . I ripped 2 pieces of Halloween plaid homespun and gathered them and glued around the edge. I added a buffalo check Halloween bow using a pipe cleaner to attach to the handle with a rusty Jack o Lantern jingle bell for an extra little added touch ..
For the jar finishing .. I used the enamel stand from Hobby Lobby .. I mounted it on sticky board ,, and then also mounted orange and black checks and black gingham on pieces of sticky board .
For the topper I used 2 ribbons .. One black ticking stripe and the Halloween buffalo check . To the center of that I added a circle that I cut from sticky board and added 2 layers of batting , and gathered orange and black check fabric to make a cute stand up ruffle around the edge .I then added a wooden Jack O Lantern that I chalk painted off white and distressed with glaze...
Here is the chalkboard that hung in my home last Halloween ..It's amazing the transformation from chalk to stitching isn't it ?
Thanks so much for stopping by ! Hope you all Love it!

I had stitched the June Square danceand used this Buffalo check tin from Hobby Lobby and all of the square dance charts will be attached to this tin ..
I made some color changes .. I used all Classic Colorworks floss in the colors of .. RainShower , Black Coffee, Muddy Puddle , Queen Bee, Bamboo.. I mounted it on sticky board with batting underneath then mounted yellow plaid fabric to sticky board .. Glued the two pieces together and added a buffalo check bow .. a sunflower with a covered button and a Little bee..magnets and washers attach it to the tin..
I didn't use the buttons that come in the chart but instead made little bees .. I also changed the shape of the 2nd from the right bee skep .. this only took a couple hours to stitch ..and is so cute!
