Patriotic Subway Art Table Runner

Good Monday morning :) It was time for a new table runner to be made .. I went with a patriotic theme ,so I can use it from now until Labor Day , unless I decide to make a flowery summery one :)
I used my foam stamps and acrylic paint ,on osnaburg fabric. I used red gingham and navy polka dot fabric to make the ruffles..


I had to use some of the pompom fringe with the ruffles too ! I think this is my favorite so far out of the five I have made :)
I used red, white and blue paint , with a little light blue thrown in there.. I love how it looks with the light blue .


I actually made 2 of these , one is a gift for someone special :)
My duaghter and I were in Target last week and got these anniversary blue Ball Mason jars.,We split one package , then went back on Saturday and each got our own package of 6 .. Just love the blue color :)

I posted this photo of our front porch on Instagram last week , and to my surprise Home Depot commented on it and asked to share it ! How exciting !
My little Jack Russell is in the doorway supervising ! I had just moved some of the plants around in the front garden and planted a new hydrangea my daughter had bought me for Mothers Day.
Hope you all had a great weekend ! Thank you as always for all your nice comments and for visiting my blog ! I appreciate each and every one of you !

Spring ????




Spring has sprung on the front door , but past the door its a little snowy ! It has snowed so much in March , we even have another inch on the ground from last night ! It rained this weekend and melted alot of the snow but we still have ALOT ! I made this decomesh wreath last year .. its getting a little faded so I think this will be its last year of use :)  I added some spring green glittery bows to it this year..






This is what our yard still looks like .. Hope spring will be here soon !




 Onto the remodel progress....We painted the living room /dining room this weekend , We ended up changing the color of the walls and the carpet ! Its painted a pale gray ( gentle rain from Behr) , and the carpet is light grey with darker grey and brown mixed in. The carpet looks darker than this sample.

We are hoping the guy who is installing the baseboards and crown molding will be here today . The windows will also have white trim around them. Trim will then have to be painted , then the carpet gets installed .. Hope to finish in the next 2 weeks !
 
 In crafting progress, I finished another Prairie Schooler santa
 and made a little progress on the stocking. I just want to finish it ! I have also done some more squares for the puffy flowers blanket .. Still loving only using a few colors ..I will show my progress next time ..
Thank you for stopping by to visit and for your nice comments ! Hope you all have a great week :)

Christmas front porch



Here is our front porch decorated for Christmas . We have a decomesh garland around the front door. It is on an evergreen garland base , with 2 colors of decomesh and large ornaments and white lights. I made the JOY sign last year after I saw a pin on pinterest. I used one of my old craft show shelves. Yesterday I decided to redo it and painted the shelf and added the distressing , cut letters from my cricut and traced around them and painted them.

Got this snowman at The Christmas tree shop in Kentucky when we went to visit the college boy..

The santa is a vintage plastic yard decoration. We repainted him a few years ago because he was really faded.

The snowman in the bucket next to the door has white lights, and some branches from our real tree stuffed in the bucket with him.

The wreath is made from decomesh on a base of a evergreen wreath. 2 colors of decomesh , ribbon and sparkly red pics.
Thanks for visiting ! I appreciate all your nice comments ! Hope you have a wonderful weekend !
