Valentine Chalkboard with Crocheted Rose Wreath

Good Morning !
First things first ...The winner of the Dollar Tree $100.00 gift card is Sandi from The Primitive Skate ! Congratulations Sandi !

I got this frame at the GoodWill store, and I wanted to use it for a chalkboard.

I painted the frame off white , I didn't paint it heavily , I wanted a lot of the dark areas to show through, kind of a white washed look ... I painted the canvas with chalkboard paint..It took 2 coats. Looks better already:)

I cut a heart shape out of light weight poster board.( I folded it in half and cut the heart shape ) Then cut about 3/4 inch inside that ...I made 14 more of the Attic 24 crochet roses ...and hot glued them to the cardboard shape. If you don't crochet you could use silk flowers , or even make a wreath from pom poms !

I used red ticking stripe fabric folded in half and glued to the back of the cardboard to hang the heart from the top of the frame.

I hot glued the top of the ribbon to the top of the frame. Wrote the word Love, added a heart and a little stitching line around the outside of the heart..

I hung it on the stair landing ..gives us a little Valentines day decoration !

I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !

Have a great day !Thanks so much for stopping by ! I love your visits and nice comments !

The Cutest Crocheted Rose Valentines Pillows

Good Morning ! Are these not the cutest ? I l-o-v-e them ! I am not usually a Valentines day decorator , but my imagination wouldn't let me not make these ! I wanted to make pillows with this red ticking stripe at Christmas time but I just didn't get around to it..I do have some ideas for next year :) So I love these crocheted roses and whats more Valentines day than roses ?

I bought the red ticking stripe fabric and the duck fabric ,pillow forms and yarn at Joann Fabrics. The fabrics I used are in the utility fabrics if you are going to make these. I used 1/2 yard for the red stripe and a yard for the duck which made 2 -18 inch pillows. I just made 18 inch squares and sewed a small 1/4 inch seam on 3 sides .. then hand sewed the bottom .. Super easy ! You could even glue it all if you don't sew :)

Each 18 inch pillow took 14 roses ..These are the same roses I used last year for the sweater pillows .. I used a G size hook and worsted weight red heart yarn.

I used hot glue to attach the roses , you could sew them also .. I just layed them out and glued away :)

For the red stripe and one of the cream ones I glued them on after the pillow was stuffed and the bottom sewed up.. The other cream one I did without stuffing it first and I didn't like the shape of the heart as much ..I even tried to peel the flowers off , but they weren't coming off !

I think the cream colored ones are coming to my bedroom after Valentines day ..

Thanks so much for stopping by ! There is still time to enter the giveaway for the $100.00 gift card from Dollar Tree .. Entries are open until January 19 ! I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest ..all the links are in the sidebar !

I love your visits and nice comments !

Sweater pillows

I saw this post for sweater pillows ..so off we went to the Good will store .. I got 2 cream colored sweaters and a light brown sweater. The argyle sweater was in the closet ( don't tell my husband) :)

I decided to add some little crocheted roses to one of the pillows , the pattern is attic 24 roses .. I did one tan, brown and aqua.. and made the two leaves. All of it was very easy ! I think they look great on our bed

Aren't the little roses adorable ??

I also got another Prairie Schooler Santa stitched.. this one is the 1988 Santa.
Hope you all have a great week ! Thank you for visiting and all your nice comments !!

Summer garden granny is finished !

I finished the attic 24 summer garden granny square blanket this weekend ..I really liked doing the join as you go method.. I did 3 rows of half double crochet for the border and then Lucy's border that she did on her granny stripe blanket. Both the links for the square and the border are at the bottom of the post.

More progress on the Santa stocking.. Doesn't look like much , but theres alot of stitches in there !! The son who I am making this for leaves for college on Friday .. He will be 6 hours away, and I am one sad but proud Mom.. Going to be a hard couple weeks as we adjust to this ..
