Farmhouse Daisy Galvanized Tiered Tray

 Happy Sunday Friends!
It was time for the tulips and bunnies in the galvanized tiered tray in the kitchen to be replaced with more chickens, cows and daisies!

 Aren't daisies just the happiest little flower? Even these fake ones are so bright and cheery ..

 Stacked cups and saucers filled with all things farmhouse and spring!

There's a little bit of summer hanging on the dining room wall :)

 Daffodils from the garden ..and a vintage scale vignette are on the other counter..

 Cows and daisies have replaced the bunnies and tulips on the table..

Love these little chickens! They stay in the tray all through spring and summer..

 Black and white cows and black gingham mix perfectly with the chalk painted mason jars filled with daisies..

 There are still some tulips in the house on the chalkboard!
 Hope you are having a great and wonderful weekend!

A Little Stitchy Update ...April 2016

Happy Saturday!
Here is a little update of what I have been stitching ! My daughter is getting married next month ..she did not find any ring bearer pillows she liked so I offered to stitch one for her . She wanted it to look chalkboardish so this is what I came up with. I still have to make it into a pillow but isn't that burlap and rhinestone trim amazing! This was my first time charting my own design and OMG its not easy . But I can say it is a one of a kind :)

I finished stitching Summer Breeze by Prairie Schooler

Started stitching the last design for the Seasons in Chalk series with Hands on Design and "me" for Just Cross Stitch Magazine.. This one is my favorite but I L-O-V-E them all !  The Summer design is out in the current issue..

I try to use Fridays to stitch on Fall designs so this one got worked on last night ..EEk there's a witch :) They are from Judith Kirby and you stitch them both together ..it is super cute! I just Love the fence !

I am keeping up with my Santa's Village from Country Cottage Needleworks ..One a month ..this month it was Mrs. Claus cookie cottage.. This is super cute but hard to get a good photo ..Saving the french knots until the whole piece is completed.

Well..that's it for now.. Have a great weekend! I have been happily working in the yard .It is finally warm enough ..and today I am tackling the compost pile and digging out all the compost . Got to get myself ready for that chore  ..LOL!

Happy Stitching!

Tulips and Mason Jar Chalkboard

 Happy Thursday!
I finally got around to drawing a new chalkboard ...since Easter is over it was time for Peter CottonTail to go! loved him..he was one of my favorites! ( I think I say that about all of them :)

We have had such a chilly and snowy April so far ..I think it has snowed 4 or 5 days this month ..I am ready to see some tulips ! Since the weather isn't cooperating I had to resort to drawing them.. and of course they had to be in a vintage blue mason jar!

 Today I think is the turning point for our weather..it was actually nice enough to be out without a jacket .. I mowed the lawn and cleaned out 4 more of my flower bed/planting areas..

 So I am ready to welcome Spring with open arms .. It is time for that warm weather and flowers!

 I wish you could see it in person ...the colors look so pretty compared to the photos!

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 ! :)

Summer .. Seasons in Chalk

Good morning friends! 

Another exciting day as the Summer Seasons In Chalk from Hands on Design and " me " has come out in the June issue of Just Cross Stitch ..It is out digitally right now..should be out on newsstands in a couple weeks..

 Here is Cathy's stitched piece and my chalkboard..I still cannot believe how lucky and blessed  I am that she asked me to do this.. and can we talk about how perfect the charting is to the chalkboard !
 Coneflowers and bees are my idea of summer!

Mine is framed on  top of a board painted with chalkboard paint inside of a thrifted Estate sale paint by number vintage frame. I use magnets on the chalkboard and little pieces of sheet metal on the back of the stitching.. you can see Winter here and spring here.. I also have stitched mine on 28 count black Monaco instead of the 32 count linen ..

From the magazine.. isn't it amazing with the white background too ? I might have to stitch it again on white !~

 My garden is filled with coneflowers .. Can't wait for them to start blooming again!

Hope you enjoy stitching this and show me your progress pics ! Hashtag #seasonsinchalkart if you are on Instagram ..We would love to see them! There are still 4 more designs to come ..and you are going to love them!!

The First Year of the Oval Galvanized Tiered Tray

Good Morning Friends!

So ..last year Sam's Club came out with an oval version of the galvanized tiered tray ..and because of my love for the round galvanized tray I had to have it :) I have had it almost a year now .. it is decorated now with all things Spring ! Tulips..eggs..bunnies..nests..mason jars.

For Winter I kept the glittery houses ( from the Christmas tray) ..lots of snowflakes pinecones..greenery .It is all stacked on plates and mason jars..white Christmas lights are woven in and out of the houses..

 I loved the tray at Christmastime with Santa peeking out of a mason jar..

 For Fall it was filled with sweater pumpkins.. fall sunflowers ..fall leaves and those cute little fox salt and pepper shakers from Walmart

 The laste summer tray was filled with dried hydrangeas and chickens ..

 The early summer tray was filled with flags...gingham topped mason jars painted with chalk paint.. blue transferware and of course chickens!

 The first decorations in the tray when I got it last spring.. daisies ..mason jars.. red transferware and chickens!

 This tray sits in the family room on top of the aqua painted vintage buffet ..

Well, there you have it .. a year of the oval tray ! It is so fun to decorate!

Happy April!

Good Morning Friends!

April by the Prairie Schooler is finished! 

Isn't it just the sweetest!

 I used the same frame as March Daffodils ..

I also mounted it on the same blue gingham as March ..I had wanted to do green gingham but the blue just looked better !

It's on display in the foyer with Country Cottage Needleworks April cottage.. Cotton branches ..mason jars ..the vintage scale and a pedestal plate..Mini moss bunnies and mini sheep added in for some cuteness!
