Patriotic Oval Galvanized Tiered Tray

Good Sunday Morning !

I finally have the oval galvanized tiered tray ( from Sam's Club) decorated with all the red , white and blue !

I used some of the blue and red transferware cups and saucers, flags( from Michael's),chickens, painted mason jars, and a little cow creamer( from Cracker Barrel). Dried hydrangeas from last years flowers.. daisies and a little chalkboard.

I put the stitching( from the Sampler Girl) mounted on a chalkboard in here on top of the stack of thrifted baskets. The summer stitching is from Lizzie Kate 4 seasons. My daughter and I painted the red, white and blue mason jars a couple years ago.

There's a little bit of aqua to tie in the cabinet and the painting above it.

I have been gone for a week so I am off to catch up on everyones blogs!

Red ..White.. and Bloom

Happy Tuesday!
I think I have put every patriotic cross stitch into this picnic basket this year ..I keep moving things around but I think this one was made for the picnic basket ..

I finished stitching this one last night .. It is Red ,White and Bloom from Country Cottage Needleworks. I already had this frame It is from Hobby Lobby a few years ago. ..Pumpkin Cottage from Country Cottage Needleworks was in it.

So I took it out and used red gingham for the bottom layer.. I then put blue homespun check ( on the diagonal again ) for the next layer .. the last layer is the stitching mounted on sticky needlework board. I used a magnet on the red gingham and sheet metal on the blue gingham so I can maybe use this frame for a Christmas design..

I left all the rest of the vignette the same with the painted mason jars and vintage scale.. I love the blue gingham inside the picnic basket so this piece fits right in with it. It is sitting on a twine tied stack of coverless books.

June's Stitchy Vignettes

Happy Friday !
Just thought I would show you the vignette I put together in our family room. I brought the cottage of the month from Country Cottage Needleworks and also the June wordplay from With Thy Needle and Thread back here into the family room. They have been in the living room for a couple months.

All my favorite things.. hydrangeas , a vintage scale, vintage crochet made by my Grandmother, a thrift store frame and tray to mount the stitching on , chickens , chalkboards and a diy boxwood wreath..

More about the chalkboard and boxwood wreath here ..

I got this little lidded basket at the goodwill so I just popped a dried hydrangea from the yard in it with a small flag and it sits on a vintage scale.

The white chicken is from Homegoods..

Picked my first strawberries yesterday ..they are so good ! Hope there is more today !

I am working on Red ,White and Bloom from Country Cottage Needleworks. I try and stitch on that epic Christmas stocking on the weekends so hopefully I will get this finished up next week ..
