Boo!

Good morning!
I am so excited to share the next mason  jar in the Chalkfull series! This is a chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Cathy at Hands On Design ..

Boo is a vintage blue mason jar filled with Jack O Lanterns!

The small  piece is Boo with the cutest Jack O Lantern 

Harvest was the first in the series and I have seen so many of you stitching and finishing it!

Mine is stitched on 28 count black evenweave .. with the called for floss colors

Ti finish the small I used the same enamel bucket from Hobby Lobby .. Mounted it an oval on sticky board with 2 layers pf batting underneath . I added Vintage trim ( ric rac ) from Lori Holt /Riley Blake . I ripped 2 pieces of Halloween plaid homespun and gathered them and glued around the edge. I added a buffalo check Halloween bow using a pipe cleaner to attach to the handle with a rusty Jack o Lantern jingle bell for an extra little added touch ..

For the jar finishing .. I used the enamel stand from Hobby Lobby .. I mounted it on sticky board ,, and then also mounted orange and black checks and black gingham on pieces of sticky board . 

For the topper I used 2 ribbons .. One black ticking stripe and the Halloween buffalo check . To the center of that I added a circle that I cut from sticky board and added 2 layers of batting , and gathered  orange and black check fabric to make a cute stand up ruffle around the edge .I then added a wooden Jack O Lantern that I chalk painted off white and distressed with glaze...

Here is the chalkboard that hung in my home last Halloween ..It's amazing the transformation from chalk to stitching isn't it ?
