It's A Frosty Forest!

Hello friends!

Woohoo! Look what I finished! So.. I started the Frosty Forest collection from Country Cottage Needleworks in January .. I was going to stitch one a month and I stuck to that for the first couple months then that went out the window! But I rallied here at the end to finish it! I stitched them with the called for threads and used tea/ coffee dyed light blue evenweave..

 I knew I wanted a window to mount them in and it was hard to find one with enough panes.. but I found this one at the last flea market Chelsea and I went to.. It came this green color which is about the same green used in all the trees that were stitched..and the chippiness of the paint was already there! I did change out the knob because it was just a plain silver one..It is so great when what you imagine actually works out perfectly!

 I mounted the stitching on sticky board.. then a mat of white on white polka dots..then a mat of aqua snowflakes.. I then glued the whole piece to a snowflake and added a covered button to the top of each one.. I used magnets and sheet metal to attach them just in case I find another series to stitch up for the window..

 Chelsea cut me the frosty forest letters on her Cricut and I glittered them .. The top is a wreath I found at a church rummage sale for 1.00 my husband  cut it in half and the wires from the wreath slip down over the top to hold it in place.. I added battery operated lights and a couple snowflakes to the flocked greenery ..I knew I wasn't going to stitch the center word chart so I took the base off a bottle brush tree , cut the back off of it and glued it and a felt deer to another snowflake.. It is also attached with magnet and sheet metal..Can I tell you how excited I am that it is finished ! I think it will be placed on our stair landing ..I just put it here for photo taking!
