Sunflowers and Bees Project


Hello friends!
I finished stitching this Country Cottage Needleworks Sunflowers In Summer last week and got around to the finishing today!

I mounted it on sticky board ..then mounted a piece of black homespun check for the backing and glued them together.. I used sunflowers from Hobby Lobby and burlap ribbons for the bow. I added some of the homespun for  the bow also. 
Oh my gosh I just love it! And I love the fact that I finished it because it was started in 2016 for Stitchmaynia!
My sofa table in the family room is all sunflowers and bees.. perfect for this last month of summer!
and in case you haven't heard my daughter and I did a Youtube video about our stitching.. come check us out and please subscribe!

Sunflowers in the Galvanized Tiered Tray


Good morning friends...hope it's been a good week so far for you!
I'm here to share the galvanized tiered tray all sunflowered up!
I went to a flea market last Sunday with my daughter and I found the little sunflower Fitz and Floyd pig ( $3.00) isn't he cute! I stuck a little chalkboard with summer drawn on it front and center..
There are big sunflowers in painted mason jars in the top tier with a cute yellow vintage chicken..


I also got this little tiny vintage chicken at the flea market..he was $1.00 and he is just adorable!

Sunflowers and Sheep


Happy Friday!

This is Louise and Henry from Little House Needleworks.. I found the frame at the Goodwill and it fits perfectly ! I stitched it on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave ( of course) ! I used all the called for threads ..my only change was to leave out the checkerboard pattern at the bottom of the hill.
I am starting to switch out all the daisies for sunflowers ..sunflowers and bees are what I am going with until Fall .. I just need to stitch MORE ! :)

I added a bow made from 2 different homespun checks and a sunflower..easy finish but cute!

I used this wood piece that I had Strawberry House mounted on ( I used sheet metal and magnets.. ) I used sticky needlework board and then used black homespun check  on another piece of the sticky board for the mat..
Three of the bee buttons ( Hobby Lobby) and a sunflower and its ready for late summer display..It's stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave ..I used all Classic Colorworks threads and I changed out a couple birds for another flower on the hive..
and lastly ..Bless our pups.. We have 2 Jack Russell's ...but..Our sweet girl Reagan became an angel on Sunday night..It's so sad to lose a beloved pet and the whole family feels her loss greatly ..she was almost 13 , and I think she had a great life with us.. RIP Reagan .. you are so loved..<3

Bees and FleaMarkets..


Hello friends..
I found this little piece of a garden fence at the flea market a couple weeks ago ..
After I finished Honeybee Sampling from Little House Needleworks I knew it would be perfect for it!
I mounted the stitching on sticky needlework board and also did the black homespun check on a piece of the sticky board.. I glued them together and hot glued it to the fence. I made the bow from some burlap ribbon.. added a covered button in a smalled check print and glued on a few bees I found in the scrapbooking section at Hobby Lobby
I changed the rose colored flowers out for Classic Colorworks Ribbon Red and used all the rest of the called for floss..It's stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave..

July!



Hello friends!

I finished stitching this July Sampler months from Little House Needleworks this morning and had to get it finished right up and put in the galvanized tiered tray in the kitchen..

I changed out 3 of the colors and love the way it looks( all floss I used is shown below) .. I mounted it on sticky needlework board , then mounted navy homespun check on another sticky board and glued them together.. I added a red homespun check bow and a navy ticking covered button..
Doesn't it look so pretty in the tray?
