Seasons in Chalk Art Halloween ..Boo!

Good morning!
I know it is almost the 4th of July .. but it is time for Halloween.. Stitching that is :)
The next in the Seasons in Chalk series is out for download now in the Just Cross Stitch special Halloween issue! So you can get started stitching this Halloween cutie!!

This photo is Cathy ( Hands on Design) stitching on the left and my chalkboard on the right.. This was taken on my front porch last fall .. Cathy does such a great job turning my chalk doodles into cross stitch ! I love stitching these .. seems so many of you are loving these also! We have talked about doing more once this series ends.. YAY! I hope it happens!

Mine is mounted on the vintage paint by number frame I got at an estate sale.. it sits on top of a board painted with chalkboard paint....Magnets on top of the board and small pieces of sheet metal on the back of the stitching..so I can change it out with the seasons.. I stitched it on a 28 count hand dyed Monaco evenweave I got from Etsy.. GaribaldisNeedlework

Isn't it fabulous on white too!

Halloween on the Chalkboard

 Good Morning..
Happy Friday! It's time for Halloween on the chalkboard!

 I redid the seasonal chalkboard in the kitchen for Halloween ..I hated to wipe off this Fall Scarecrow!

A trio of fat jack-o-lanterns make up this Halloween topiary.. 

There is a strand of fall berries decorating the top of this thrifted frame.

I still love redoing this chalkboard for the seasons ..It is always fun to see what a little doodling will bring!

The Halloween Mantel 2015

 Good Morning!
I am here to share my Halloween Mantel for this year ..
I made the Halloween Bookpage banner last year and loved it so much I decided to use it again this year! here is last years..

 I used the same vintage ,thrifted frame from the Fall mantel and doodled a jack-o-lantern design ..

 The crows and creepy drapy cloth came from Dollar Tree. Lanterns are from Homegoods..glitter pumpkins from Walmart .. white sweater pumpkins made by me..

 There are white lights running through the decorations so it looks good at night..
