Christmas in the Bedroom

 Happy Friday!
I am so excited to show you my bedroom all decorated for Christmas! I was surprised ( shocked ) this year with my dream bedroom set by my husband .. This set has been pinned on my pinterest board for a couple years.. and it is more wonderful in person!

As you can tell Ronnie loves it :) I added a flocked garland from Walmart and a set of battery operated lights to the top of the headboard .. and above that a book page wreath that Chelsea and I made several years ago..

 As soon as the new bedroom set was delivered I had to buy a new tree .. so I got this 6 foot flocked tree from Walmart ..

 Merry Christmas from Country Cottage Needleworks .. Burlap Merry Christmas ribbons and the Rae Dunn lookalike ornaments Chelsea made us last year with her Cricut got moved up here ..

buffalo check ribbons  and 4 of the White Christmas ornaments from Hands on Design ..

 I added a tree farm sign for the topper.. and some glittery berry picks from Walmart

 Under the tree is the tree farm sign that was made from a gift bag last year with decoupage ..on top of a little quilt .

The farmhouse window that was also part of the birthday surprise ..It was supposed to go above the bed but its a little too big so for now its leaning against the wall with a little wreath 

 The bedding is a Martha Stewart duvet cover from Macy's a couple years ago .. the truck pillows are from Amazon last year ..all of it is covered in flocking .. it gets everywhere!

 On the dresser there is another flocked garland .. a little glitter house on a pedestal and a cream colored pom pom garland ..and also more of the Merry Christmas burlap ribbon

 I wake up still sometimes and think where am I ? :) I love it so much and to have it all Christmased up makes it even better!( The wall color is silver strand from Sherwin Williams )

Thanks so much for your visit!

Up On The Housetop

 Happy Thursday friends! Ronnie is getting excited for Christmas!

The reindeer were busy this year so the chickens came to the rescue!

 Santa and his chickens .. landing on a house with wreaths in all the windows!

Down below the chickens are draping  the vintage truck with garland ..

This is a vintage frame I had a piece of wood cut to fit and then painted with chalkboard paint .. it gets changed out for every season and holiday!

Merry and Bright Wreath

Good morning and Happy Sunday! 

Can you stand this cuteness? 

 I started this Merry and Bright last year for Stitchmaynia.. and I finished stitching it this year a couple months ago .. I had seen this truck online and could not find it at any of our local Walmart stores ..But when I was in Florida .. there they were! I got 2 one for Chelsea too.. and had my husband break in half the yard stakes they were on (so I could get them in my suitcase :)

 The Classic Colorworks floss  I used ..

 ***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

 I mounted the stitching on sticky board and also covered another piece of sticky board with red gingham . I used a wreath  had , and added some flocked picks and a jingle bell garland and also the perfect plaid ribbon for accents .. I glued the truck to the wreath .. and glued the stick from the stake to the back to attach the stitching .. To raise the stitching up I used 2 thread spools and it worked perfect ! It is hanging on my vintage window in the family room and it is just too cute!~

Thanks so much for your visit!

Snow for Christmas

Good morning!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving day!

I finished stitching this Snow for Christmas from With Thy Needle and Thread a couple weeks ago and had it all finished up but didn't do a blog post!

 I stitched it on 28 count tea/coffee dyed light blue Monaco .. I used all Classic Colorworks floss shown above ..Love it on the blue!

 For the finish I mounted it on sticky board .. sticky.. sticky ..sticky board .. couldn't resist.. I used a another piece of sticky board covered with plaid homespun and glued the 2 pieces together ..

 I used a vintage metal tray that I chalk painted cream and then wiped some of the detail areas off with my finger while it was still wet ..I used plaid ribbon for a bow.. Christmas greenery and berry picks and some cotton branches .. Love him so much!

  ***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

 Thanks so much for your visit! Ok ..now that this is finished ..., back to decorating!

White Christmas ornaments

 Good morning!
I finished these up this morning for my bedroom tree and couldn't wait to show you!
These are from Hands On Design ..the White Christmas series ..

 I added Classic Colorworks Licorice Red and Tennessee Red Clay to these ..they are charted to be more aqua and green ..but I wanted the red ..

 I mounted them on sticky board and then mounted some red checks on sticky board ..

 glued them together and added a plaid ribbon bow and hanger.. on top of that some flocked greenery and jingle bells and berries ..

 There are 9 of these in the series so I still have 5 left to stitch .. aren't they just perfect and pretty?

Thanks so much for stopping by ! I will show you the whole tree in a couple days!

Farmhouse Christmas Tree

 Good morning!
Christmas decorating is going slowly but surely!
Yesterday I did the final finishing on my Little House Needleworks Farmhouse Christmas ornaments..Before I left on our trip ( 2 weeks ago) I had the tree all set up and just needed to finish and add the stitched ornaments!

 I used these buffalo check picks from Hobby Lobby and added red buffalo check torn ruffled flannel to the edges.. The stitching is mounted on sticky board ..

The chicken on top of the tree was a mothers day gift from Chelsea.. and it was so perfect that the inside was hollow.. so I just slipped it on the tree.. 

 The wood Farmhouse Christmas sign was also from Hobby Lobby last year ..

 There are red metal barn stars.. enamel farm animal ornaments .. Lanterns ..

 There are 3 rag garlands of red buffalo check and burlap ..

 Black buffalo check ribbons and of course cotton branches.. Calvin had to get in the picture..:)

 I just love how it turned out .. the stitched ornaments are so perfect!

 ***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

 The tree sits next to the hutch in the family room .. I found 2 of these trees on clearance at Walmart last year ..I think around 6.00 each .. They are a little sparse but that is perfect for a farmhouse style tree..I used more of the buffalo check flannel for a tree skirt .. and on top of that ... a big chicken, and a buffalo check bucket  and also an egg bucket with a chicken on top are all under the tree ..

 I have 4 trees left to decorate plus all the other vignettes chalkboards etc.. so I am off to work .. not to mention the new chalk on the farm that I am stitching!

Thanks so much for your visit!
