One last Stitchy Finish for 2015

 Happy New Years Eve!
I finished stitching this Lizzie Kate Jingles last week.. and yesterday went to Home Depot and got some boards cut to finish it ..

 I had 2 boards cut one a 1/2 inch bigger on each side so I could have a coordinating fabric on the back .. I had previously stitched Lizzie Kate's Tingles and made this fence board to display it on .. I used magnets and sheet metal so I could switch it out for the Christmas version ..

I also got another board cut for the Halloween one that I used a Halloween fabric on the back .. I will show you that when I decorate for Halloween in October!

Magnets on the fence pickets and sheet metal on the back of the stitching

 I did alot of the stitching on this on those airplane trips to see one of my boys play football..So everytime I look at this piece I will be thinking about the great season his team had!

 I added a bow of 2 different Christmas ribbons and a flocked pick ..

Last year at this time my son committed to play for San Diego State University ..we were so excited for him and this year turned out to be an amazing one! 

They lost 3 games early in the season but won every game after that ..

They won the Mountain West Championship  against Air Force and then went on to win the Hawaii bowl on Christmas Eve! 

Hope 2015 was great for you all and 2016 is even better! I appreciate all of you that read my blog ..leave me comments ..like my Facebook and Instagram pages etc.. I am very lucky to have all of you!
Happy New Year!

2015 in Wreaths..

 Good morning!
I made a few wreaths in 2015 and here they are ..This one was made so simply with a garland and a grapevine wreath both from Hobby Lobby..

 This Monogram wreath was also super easy ..

 I made this boxwood wreath from cuttings from our bushes  ..

 I added a spring cross stitch to this grapevine wreath ..

 and the same wreath with a summer stitched piece..

 I made another boxwood wreath and stuck it in this bowl on a vintage scale..

 I redid my daisy wreath ..

An Autumn cross stitch piece was added to that same grapevine wreath from Spring and Summer..

 The burlap wreath in the kitchen got a fall addition..

A Halloween cross stitch is on display in this grapevine wreath

 The burlap wreath in the kitchen got a chalkboard ribbon and ornament addition for Christmas

I redid the wreaths that hang in the kitchen at Christmas .. They had sparkly apples and berries on them and I took those off and redid them with faux cotton branches..

I made this wreath with a One dollar sign from the Dollar Tree

For the front door I made this Joy sign with a wreath for the O ..and that is a tour of all this years wreaths! All the colored links are clickable!

Thanks so much for taking the tour ! All the colored links are clickable to see more..
