Late Summer Galvanized Tiered Tray

Good morning! 

I have had the galvanized tray decorated for a while and just keep forgetting to get a post written!

I love to use sunflowers to decorate it this time of year ...

Fits right in with the seasonal chalkboard!

 Lots of vintage and new chickens, painted mason jars.. cows and of course sunflowers deck out the tray..

 These black and white chickens are vintage and came from my mother in law..

This yellow chicken is also vintage and my daughter got it for me .. He sits in the top of the tray..

A Stitchy Update 8-11-2016

Good morning!
Here is this months stitchy update!
A little more progress on Lizzie Kate's Halloween Rules( I am not putting the little buttons on until its all finished..)
..My 4  year old grandson said keep "building" that one Gramma ..I like it !

I am stitching this Stitchrovia piece for my college football playing son in the colors of his team San Diego State.. I need to have it finished to take with me when we go to his first game Sept. 3 .. I love how it looks so far on the black ..

I finished the 7th Santa's Village house and have started the border for the 8th..

and the second chalkboard ornament from Hands On Design is finished.. Starting on the 3rd one Be Jolly .

Seems like I haven't been able to stitch as much with so much yard work all the time .. but I do love working in the yard :)

We went to the Wisconsin State Fair yesterday and the littlest grandson sure did love the cream puffs :)

I love to go to see all the gorgeous flowers..

Love this !

and I need some of these purple flowers next year!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fall.. Seasons In Chalk Art

Good afternoon! 

I am so excited it's time for another Seasons In Chalk in the October 2016 Just Cross Stitch Magazine!

It's time for Fall, with my chalkboard turned into a cross stitch by Cathy Haberman ( Hands On Design)

Cathy's stitched model is on the left and my chalkboard on the right..

 As soon as Labor Day comes and goes my Fall decor comes out and I can't wait to have this up until it's time for the Halloween Seasons In Chalk!  I stitched mine on 28 count black Monaco using the called for threads..It is mounted on a vintage paint by number frame from an Estate Sale that I had a board cut to fit and painted with chalkboard paint. I use magnets on the back of the frame and small pieces of sheet metal on the back of the stitching to change the designs out for each season ..

 Only one more design after this one is left in the series ..It has been so exciting seeing all the stitched up pieces on Facebook and Instagram !

 Here are the 6 so far!

In the garden.. August 8,2016

Good morning!
 I hope you all had great weekends!
Time for another walk through the garden ..
My hydrangeas are still blooming and I love that there are so many different colors on each plant!

Coneflowers are still looking good even though it has been so hot and dry here. We did have rain last week finally!

The Rose of Sharon is huge!

I am loving this pot of zinnias and snapdragons..

The top sunflower has an identity crisis going on .. its got just a few striped petals..

Limelight hydrangea, annabelle hydranges and lots of coneflowers and zinnias!

The chipmunk hunter..

Vanilla /Strawberry hydrangeas starting to get a little strawberried.. aren't they just the prettiest!

the prettiest zinnia in the patch..

The mailbox garden..

That is one stalk of sunflowers.. so many blooms!

The first roasted tomato sauce from the garden ..

I had to move the vintage wheelbarrow out from behind the zinnias because they got too tall!

Always love to pick the zinnias

It's August!

 Good morning!
I am so excited to be finished with this August Prairie Schooler.. I put the last stitches in this morning and ran down the basement to finish it up!
It seems like summer has just flown by .. soon it will be time for Fall!

 I didn't like the horse that was charted on the pattern so I stitched the pig that was on the smaller chart and added a couple more chicks..I used a black plaid homespun on the bias for the backing.. it has gold and yellow checks so it is perfect.. The pedestal frame is from Michael's and I added burlap to the back of it with magnets on top ..and I use small pieces of sheet metal on the back of my stitching to change it out with the months..

 Don't you just love the chickens and the corn?

 I have it on the cabinet in the foyer with the August A Year In Chalk from Hands on Design..some vintage chickens ..vintage scale and lots of sunflowers! This is the last month I am doing until December.. I didn't really like the next 3 months ..so I might try to find something else to stitch that will fit the frame ..but then I will start back up with December and I still have January and February to do..

 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 ! :)
