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 !

The Chevron Blanket is Finished

It is finished ! (and all I can think about is what am I going to make next )! :)

I just did a row of single crochet around it for a border. I only did the roses on one end , because they are kind of heavy and were a pain to sew on ! If you want the pattern for the roses or the ripple ,you can go back a few posts and I linked both of the patterns.

I also finished this patriotic stitching last night .. I am hoping to do all the months and have one frame that I change them out of. Its not on Aida cloth , so I am getting better :)

I planted lots of zinnia seeds in different parts of the garden and flower beds so that I could pick them to have bouquets all over the house. So far I just want to leave them out in the yard ! The ones above are little mini zinnias ..so cute !

These are kind of ruffled petals..

and these are spotted ..

These in the back of the potato patch are big flowers , tall ones too.

My tomatoes are growing haphazardly everywhere .. I use tomato cages but the cages would have to be twice as tall as they are to contain them. I need to think of something different for next year, suggestions would be great !. There is a sunflower plant right in the middle of the tomatoes, ( planted by a bird or chipmunk) I am leaving it until it is finished flowering !

Yesterdays garden goodies... love the raspberries ! This is the view out of my kitchen window yesterday .. Love this time of year ! Thanks for stopping by and your nice comments !
