Black Coffee ..Eggshell( santa's beard) Rainshower and Pine Needles ..for the pets I used scraps
I mounted the stitching to sticky board ..with 2 layers of batting . I also mounted red ticking stripe fabric to sticky board and glued the 2 pieces together .I then added a ruffle of white with red ticking stripes to the back of the red ticking stripes . Both of these fabrics are in our finishing bundle available here I added a buffalo check ribbon bow to the top and a little tree farm sign
The truck and Ronnie from Holly Jolly Farm ..I stitched on 28 count evenweave black .. I used Classic Colorworks ribbon red.. spinach .. bamboo .. and brown sugar for Ronnie ..
Ronnie loves here ornament and so do I ! I mounted it on sticky board with batting underneath .. I added red chicken wire fabric to sticky board and glued the two pieces together . I mounted black gingham to sticky board and attached the truck pick ( Michael's) to the top .. I used a piece of red / white bakers twine for the hanger . ***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
The tree has burlap Merry Christmas ribbon woven through .. trays and plates that I have turned into ornaments .. A Christmas Tree Farm arrow .. a truck with a tree in the back .. lots of Rae Dunn inspired ornaments made by Chelsea .. buffalo plaid ribbons and lots of vehicles with trees on top!

Snow people fill the mason jar this time with the cutest little faces..
and the small piece has 2 snowmen out braving the snowstorm
I used the same enamel pieces I have used for the whole series that are from Hobby Lobby ..
you will love this with all the colors of winter ! In my house after Christmas comes the snowmen to stay out until Spring arrives .. and I call that Snowman Season :)
I mounted my piece on sticky board ,, mounted white fabric with red polka dots ( it is in our Christmas finishing bundle ) then added a black gingham ruffle .. The bow is made from red polka dot ribbons .. black ticking stripe ribbon .. and a snowman ornament from Hobby Lobby..white glittery picks were added into the bow ..
and of course magnets added to the piece to attach to the metal enamel stand .For the small piece I used the enamel bucket .. mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 layers of batting underneath ,, then added a heavily gathered polka dot ruffle to the underside of the stitching . I used Beelori's vintage trimin Cayenne and the smaller size in Cloud over the top of the red .. A ticking stripe bow ,, covered button and white glittery picks top it off ..
