A New Chalk Frame

Good morning! 

My Chalk for the Home frame got an update! 

I loved the frame insides with the chalkboard and the chicken wire and it is so perfect for the Chalk For the Home designs.. But... I really didn't like the plain wood frame and just painting it , it would have still been plain wood..

This is the before.. you can still get this frame at Hobby Lobby if you are doing the Chalk for the Home series :)

We found this moulding at Home Depot and also the little wood applique in the center. My son in law cut the pieces and nailed it to the frame.. My daughter chalk painted and dark waxed it .. It looks so much better ! I can't wait to show you the new Autumn pieces.. It's getting closer! A little DIY and a fabulous new frame!

Halloweening!

Good morning friends!
My daughter finished stitching this October Wordplay from With Thy Needle and Thread yesterday ..so in true Mom fashion I finished it up for her.

When we were at the flea market a couple weeks ago I found a couple old trays for $1.00 each so that is what we used. She painted the bottom with chalkboard paint .. I mounted the design on sticky board , and then another sticky board piece got covered with homespun plaid. Then hot glued the 2 pieces together.
I added 2 magnets on the back of it to attach to the metal tray. I also made a bow from burlap and added a fall pic that looks like crookedy tree branches.. I glued those 2 things to a magnet so that can be changed out for the months too..
My Wordplay charts are all displayed on an old tray too , but with the addition of the decoration on a magnet I am going to have to get busy and gussy mine up!

Love how it turned out ...can't wait for October to decorate for Halloween! If you haven't seen it yet come on over and watch our latest video! Priscilla and Chelsea

Halloween Night!

Good morning friends!
Look at this cuteness!  My daughter stitched this Heart in Hand Halloween Night chart and I finished it for her last night ...

So... we found this shelf in the unpainted wood at Michael's and flipped it upside down.. she painted it with chalkboard paint..

I mounted the stitching on sticky board ..then I ruffled some black homespun check to add behind it ..

I used a fall pick from Michael's for the bottom decoration and did a little chalk design around it..It is super C-U-T-E ! I added a little Fall decor to the dining room hutch so for all of our You Tube viewers you will have something new to look at! See you tomorrow!

It's Almost Autumn!

Hello friends! It''s almost Autumn!

I finished stitching this Lizzie Kate Autumn Smalls last weekend and finished it up this morning.

I found this little chalkboard frame at Michael's. I added a strip of gingham fabric and some plaid ribbon I also found at Michael's. Added a bow and a covered button and a garland of fall picks for the top.

Just thought I'd show you what I'm stitching on.
First is With Thy Needle and Thread- October 31st which I am doing for the hashtag #WitchyWednesdayXS that my daughter started for Instagram.

Little House Needleworks-Pumpkins 4 Sale

Starting on September 3rd my daughter and I are doing a Stitch Along on Instagram for Little House Needleworks-Lantern Lane. We'd love to have you join us! We'll be using the hashtag #LanternLaneSAL

Plum Street Samplers- Kringle and Woolard which I'm stitching for the hashtag #SantaSundayXS on Instagram.

AND...Of course I can't show you the progress but the new Autumn Chalk for the Home, my collaboration with Hands On Design has been my main focus. You should be able to purchase this in the next couple weeks! I am so excited for you to see it!!

And lastly, September from the Little House Needleworks/Classic Colorworks Sampler Months.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate your visits!

The Coffee Table

Good morning!
Yesterday the family room coffee table got a transformation! My daughter had gotten a buffet from a thrift store and painted it this color ..Rust-oleum chalk paint tinted Lake Blue.. I loved it and thought it would be perfect for the coffee table.. A few months ago I had used the Linen white from
  Rust-oleum to paint it and after we got new furniture it was just too white ..
My old stitching chair which is now Chelsea's stitching chair :)

It started out this really dark brown ..and the top was pretty messed up ( kids let loose in the house )

I love it .. and it was even better because my daughter painted and dark waxed it for me ! We distressed the edges a little bit and she put a couple coats of the dark wax on...The other side of the table has a drawer that we either need to paint the knobs  , or get new knobs for ..they are silver. Isn't it great ! There is lots of grey in the furniture so the blue grey is a great accent ..

A Little Fall Wreath

Hello friends!
My daughter stitched this Country Cottage Needleworks Seasonal Celebrations ( the top portion only) and I finished it into a wreath for her. We had used this wreath for the Summer chart , using ribbon to tie it to the wreath....but I thought it would be better to use burlap for the background and add sheet metal to the back of the stitching and a magnet to the burlap for easy changing out for the seasons..

She hangs the wreath on the hutch in her kitchen.. The fall leaves are just stuck into the wreath not glued so they can also be changed.
There is a piece of sticky board with burlap.. on top of that is a magnet.. I mounted the stitched piece to sticky board and also the plaid homespun to another piece of sticky board. Those 2 pieces were glued together..I use hot glue.. and then a small piece of sheet metal to the back of that.  That way each season can be switched up in about 2 minutes!
There is a new video ...click the link below!

This weeks video...

Sunflower Farm Chalkboard

Happy Monday!

I finally got around to redoing the chalkboard on the mantel.. 

I kept the truck but removed all the patriotic bunting and flowers and replaced it all with sunflowers and bees. I added some sunflowers to the mantel and a basket of cut from the garden hydrangeas on the hearth..I am all set until I start to decorate for Fall in a couple weeks!
