An Ornament For Cash

Happy Sunday friends!

 Jolly July is going very well so far and I have finished 3 of  my 5 ornament starts! 

This little truck is from Star Spangled Swine Farm

 .. my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands ON Design .. I started this on his birthday and finished it yesterday ..

Cash has a tree in his nursery that is  patriotic .. since his birthday is on the 4Th of July so this will be his tree topper .. I used all the called for floss and stitched in on 28 count black evenweave .. I added his name and birth date .. I googled small cross stitch alphabet and this one worked great

I mounted the stitching on sticky board with a layer of batting .. and then mounted plaid homespun onto another piece of sticky board . and  glued them together . The star that I mounted it on was darker wood and it got a whitewash coat of chalk paint .. The small star on top was also chalk painted. I added a piece of black check ribbon and a chicken button on top of the star ..

I also stitched this truck for myself 

and added it to this little vintage grater .. Pigs and Graters 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
