Jolly July .. Jolly Claus

 Good morning!
We are so excited for Jolly July and our series of 4 ornaments .. the first is Jolly Claus ! He is available in our Etsy shop here ..

The sweetest Santa carrying his Jolly sign ! To finish him I mounted the stitching on sticky board with batting underneath .. I then added plaid fabric ( this is from our Christmas finishing bundle at Fat Quarter Shop ) to 2 sticky boards.. I added the black check ribbon tie behind one of the plaid boards and also Lori Holt vintage trim in cloud ..and then glued those 2 plaid fabric covered sticky boards together right sides out so the back is finished .

I added 2 different ribbon bows to the top and a little bottle brush wreath .. I also added flocked greenery  underneath the ribbon..He is a quick stitch so I can't wait to see your finishes!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas In July

Happy Friday ! 

I finished my first ornament for 2015..I have stitched a lot but this is the first that is ready to hang on a tree! This is from the August issue of Just Cross Stitch and is from Hands On Design..

You know me and anything chalkboard! :) I mounted it on sticky needlework board , then mounted some black gingham ( on the bias ) love the way it looks that way .. on a separate sticky board ..glued the two together with a red check ribbon loop for hanging in between the pieces. Added a red check bow , and covered a button with black gingham and glued that on top of the bow. Do you love it ?!?

Here is my progress on Santa's Flight stocking.. it is getting there ..at this point I just want to get it done! There is still a long way to go !

If you read my blog regularly you know I love Christmas ...so I thought I would add a few of my favorite house pics from last Christmas ..

The dining room..

 The kitchen ..

the family room ..with hopefully a new stocking to replace the one second from the right this year :)

Have a wonderful weekend!
