Patriotic Row For Baby

Happy Sunday!

This is Bent Creek Patriotic Row .. stitched by Chelsea and finished by me ..

 This is for the new baby boy's room .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. then added some Lady Dot Creates Vanilla Ric Rac ..

 I used plaid homespun for the background and then mounted on some vintage barn wood we found at a flea market ..

 we ironed on interfacing to homespun and then cut stars from it to make a garland for the top ...all the fabrics were used in the rag crib quilt we made

 It is awesome.. and will look so nice in the nursery!

Hello Snow!

 Good morning!
 It is Hello snow inside and outside! We have been getting a couple inches 3 times this week so far... and of course I finished up this cute Country Cottage Needleworks Hello Snow chart!

 I changed a few things .. the color of the border , the scarfs and I left off the big top and bottom borders of snowflakes. I stitched it on light blue tea/ coffee dyed 28 count Monaco ..all the colors I used are shown above..

 I had this tray that I found at a flea market for $1.00 and I had a Fall piece in it but wanted to use  it again and I figured if I left off the snowflake borders it would work!

 I mounted it to sticky board .. added a gathered piece of ripped red gingham.. used a washer on the back to attach to the magnet I had already put on the tray .

 I made a bow from greenery and black gingham ribbon and added a covered button ..

 It has its place of honor on the table in the family room with the Snow Place like Home banner and also Winter Wonderland ,,

 So pretty to keep Winter from being dull and boring! :)

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

It's A Frosty Forest!

Hello friends!

Woohoo! Look what I finished! So.. I started the Frosty Forest collection from Country Cottage Needleworks in January .. I was going to stitch one a month and I stuck to that for the first couple months then that went out the window! But I rallied here at the end to finish it! I stitched them with the called for threads and used tea/ coffee dyed light blue evenweave..

 I knew I wanted a window to mount them in and it was hard to find one with enough panes.. but I found this one at the last flea market Chelsea and I went to.. It came this green color which is about the same green used in all the trees that were stitched..and the chippiness of the paint was already there! I did change out the knob because it was just a plain silver one..It is so great when what you imagine actually works out perfectly!

 I mounted the stitching on sticky board.. then a mat of white on white polka dots..then a mat of aqua snowflakes.. I then glued the whole piece to a snowflake and added a covered button to the top of each one.. I used magnets and sheet metal to attach them just in case I find another series to stitch up for the window..

 Chelsea cut me the frosty forest letters on her Cricut and I glittered them .. The top is a wreath I found at a church rummage sale for 1.00 my husband  cut it in half and the wires from the wreath slip down over the top to hold it in place.. I added battery operated lights and a couple snowflakes to the flocked greenery ..I knew I wasn't going to stitch the center word chart so I took the base off a bottle brush tree , cut the back off of it and glued it and a felt deer to another snowflake.. It is also attached with magnet and sheet metal..Can I tell you how excited I am that it is finished ! I think it will be placed on our stair landing ..I just put it here for photo taking!

Trick or Treat Window

Good morning friends!

I finished this Bent Creek piece a couple days ago and finished it up into a vintage window yesterday..

 I dyed the fabric with tea and coffee then didn't think it was dark enough so I poured some brown Rit dye on it and rinsed it out .. All the colors I used are above .. this was a really quick stitch ..Long and skinny ..so I needed to find a cute way to finish it..

 I found this window at the flea market last time and added the stitching to the bottom..My daughter Chelsea cut me the Trick or Treat letters on her Cricut .. I have a Cricut too but she has a newer version hooked up to her I Pad so it's easier for her to use than dragging my computer down the basement .. I attached them with a little adhesive so I can remove them and add another piece to the window for a different season..I also added a crow from The Dollar Tree on top...I added a band of black check homespun to each end of the piece ..

Thanks so much for your visit!

Hello Fall!

 Good morning friends!
I finished stitching this Annie Beez Folk Art chart yesterday.. and fully finished it this morning..

As you can see I changed the words on the piece.. since I don't decorate for Thanksgiving ( I start on Christmas decor the first of November) this way it's good to go for the entire fall.. I also only had one of the called for colors so I showed you in this picture the colors I did use..It's stitched on 28 count coffee/ tea dyed evenweave..

I found this tray at the Flea Market for $1.00 it is really tarnished and I like it like that ! :)..I cut an oval from sticky board ..added a piece of batting on top of that and then hot glued the piece around the back.. I added white pom poms and a gathered piece of black check homespun around the back.. I made the bow from 2 different homespun fabrics and a little burlap ribbon on top of a Fall berry pic...I think it turned out really cute!

The Windows Are Up!

Good morning friends!

The windows are UP... And the wreaths are on them! I got these huge vintage windows at a flea market last month..we broke the glass out of them because one of the panes of glass was missing.. it made hanging them on the wall a lot easier ( and thanks to my son in law for doing the hanging) since they lost a lot of weight that way. Love the hardware on the left side.. I might try to find some old crusty hardware at the flea market to attach to the other side!

They couldn't be more perfect though in this great grey color since our walls are pale grey.. 

Lots of "Joy" for me having them on the wall!

The view from the kitchen.

I got the wreaths at Hobby Lobby .. I waited until they were 50% off..I thought the cotton wreaths will be perfect all year round The walls next to the china cabinet were so empty and these windows were just the right size to fill up those areas!

Bees and FleaMarkets..

Hello friends..
I found this little piece of a garden fence at the flea market a couple weeks ago ..

After I finished Honeybee Sampling from Little House Needleworks I knew it would be perfect for it!

I mounted the stitching on sticky needlework board and also did the black homespun check on a piece of the sticky board.. I glued them together and hot glued it to the fence. I made the bow from some burlap ribbon.. added a covered button in a smalled check print and glued on a few bees I found in the scrapbooking section at Hobby Lobby

I changed the rose colored flowers out for Classic Colorworks Ribbon Red and used all the rest of the called for floss..It's stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave..

Trick or Treat Front Porch

Good morning!

Our porch is all ready for trick or treaters!

 I bought letters at Hobby Lobby and spray painted them black .. I glued them onto old boards I had in the garage .. I sprayed the boards and letters with a sealer. Our porch does have a roof so they should be fine..
 I used my garland made with a black garland base.. It has black and orange decomesh, black and purple tulle, little chalkboard signs, diy ghosts, and purple and white lights.

 I also bought the OR letters at Hobby Lobby and outlined them with a white paint marker. I used thin wire to attach them and used black gingham ribbon to hang them up.

 The newly redone Halloween Countdown. Don't you love that chair ? I found that and the galvanized bucket on top of it at a flea market a couple weeks ago.
