Daisies and Mason Jar Chalkboard

 Happy Tuesday !
I wasn't ready to give up the mason jar chalkboard that hangs in our kitchen .so I changed up the flowers..

 Gone are the daffodils replaced by daisies ! I erased the board down to where the Ball is on the jar ..and then started adding daisies.

 I love the aqua blue , yellow and white .. seems so springy !

 I added a couple bees and the month May .. also a blue and white stripe ribbon around the jar ..

 Every chalkboard I do becomes my favorite and then I do another that becomes my favorite ..this one is definitely my favorite!( until the next one :) Did you see the little photo bomber in almost all of the photos ? I think she thinks she is famous :) The  daffodil chalkboard 

 If you would like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)

No Roll Sugar Cookies

Happy Monday !
I baked these cookies on Saturday and they are so good ( and easy) ! You should try them !

No Roll Sugar Cookies
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter softened
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 to 3/4 cup chocolate chips ( optional)
Heat oven to 375

Beat sugar and butter until fluffy .. add extracts, and egg.. stir in flour and baking soda..Line a baking sheet with parchment paper..
I used my small cookie scoop to form the balls ..otherwise make small balls and use the bottom of a glass to flatten them . I greased the bottom of the glass.. I then added a handful of chocolate chips to the top of each one and bake for 10-11 minutes
Enjoy them!

I finished May A Year In Chalk ..Just need to mount it so its ready to go May 1st ..

My progress on Trick or Treat  Prairie Schooler ..and I got my youngest sons stocking out yesterday .I will stitch it on Sundays for our #santasundayxs hashtag on Instagram.. Hoping to finish it before Christmas :) Shown below is 2 days progress. going to be alot of stitches in there !! As you can see I cannot stitch without my helper.. I sit down in my chair and she has to be right next to me ..She is saying there is no way this is getting done before Christmas ! lol! Have a great week !

A Jump Start to the Red White and Blue

Good Afternoon !

I have been working on this Threadworks Primitives design ( Beggars 4th) and finished it today ..

 
I had done this Halloween Threadworks Primitives design 2 years ago and used this burlap clipboard frame to finish it off.. ( from Hobby Lobby) so I just mounted the design on sticky needlework board and clipped it on . I left extra room at the top for the clip.

I am excited to have a start on things for the red, white and blue time of year! It is stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed Monaco with DMC threads..

My Love For Tiered Trays !

 Good morning !
Can I tell you how much I love tiered trays for decorating !!
I saw a post on Instagram about this tiered tray from Sam's Club ..It is oval shaped instead of last years Sam's club round tray.. I hadn't seen it at our Sam's ..so I went online and got it.. Their shipping is so reasonable at $2.95!

You can see a whole year of the decorating of the round tray here..A year of the galvanized tiered tray ..

 I filled it with that red Goodwill transferware, chalk painted mason jars , vintage chickens , aqua dishes and lots of daisies for spring !

It sits in the family room on the chalk painted buffet.. This was the first piece we used chalk paint on and loved it! 

 The little cow creamer is vintage and from the thrift store in our little town..

 That little rooster on the bottom tier is a pie bird that my husband brought home from one of his travels.. isn't it cute ? The Lizzie Kate 4 seasons spring on the aqua clipboard ( Michael's)and a With Thy Needle and Thread design in a thrifted frame.

April's Stitchy Chalkboard

Happy Friday !

I finished stitching April's A Year In Chalk  from Hands On Design.. 

 I finished it the same way as the last 3 months and used sheet metal on the back of the stitching to attach to the magnet on the gingham check fabric.. The frame is from Michael's..

 This is displayed in the foyer on a green chest.. I added some faux daisies and a painted mason jar to the galvanized bucket of tulips and the vintage scale..

 Can I tell you again how much I love using chalkboards to decorate .. the regular kind and the stitchy kind :)

Have a wonderful weekend !

January,February
and March A Year In Chalk..

Mason Jars and Daffodils

Good morning ! 

Hope you all had a great Easter weekend with family and friends!

Today I erased my favorite chalkboard so far ..the bunny .. I was sad to see it go ..but Easter is over!

and replaced her with a mason jar full of daffodils..

 I got this frame at a garage sale ( very cheap) and had a board cut for it at Home Depot that i painted with chalkboard paint..It hangs on the wall into the kitchen from the family room and gets changed up for the seasons..

Last month I drew this mason jar chalkboard for my daughter 

I saw these daffodils this morning in the foyer and that's what gave me the idea for this months chalkboard ..

working on Lizzie Kate's 4 seasons ..summer

We made bunny cake pops from brownies and used Easter candy corn for the ears and feet..

If you would like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)
Thanks so much for all your visits and sweet comments !
