Thrifting and Stitching ..Two of my Favorite Things !

Good morning !
I wanted to share some of my favorite thrifty treasures I have found lately .. I have a thing for chickens ..the kitchen is full of them ! I found this chicken soup tureen at a Goodwill up in Wisconsin .. It fits perfectly in tis chicken wire basket thats on my dining room table .

I also got one of the soup tureens on top of the hutch from another Goodwill ..the one on the left came from an Estate sale this winter.

I got this little cow creamer at the thrift shop here in our town for $3.00 ! It is vintage and so cute ! The soup tureen with the hydrangeas in it was also from a Goodwill.. Yhe hydrangeas are from my garden ..Love them !

Now in the kitchen , my daughter found this guy at the Goodwill ..Isn't he the cutest ! He was $3.99.. About a week later we were at a church rummage sale and there was a cow just like him that I found for my daughter since she is crazy for cows !

I also found this chicken plate for 99 cents , that looks like it goes with another chicken plate I got at the Goodwill ..

Here they both are together.

I took this photo with my Iphone last night in the garden as the sun was setting .. Love my patches of zinnias!

I finished stitching Prairie Schooler Pumpkin Patch on Friday .. I have been working on this only on Fridays since the first of the year .. So glad to have it finished !

Last Sunday I finished this Prairie Schooler Santa for the Santa tree and I am currently working on the 2014 Prairie Schooler Santa ..

Planting Flowers in Thrift Store Baskets

Last week my daughter and I went to a local nursery ..They had the cutest baskets planted with flowers,

watering cans and wicker picnic hampers too ! The picnic hamper above is my daughters .. She loves those African daisies !

So off we went to the Goodwill and Salvation Army .. we bought a bunch of cheap baskets ..then on to the Home Depot to buy some flowers..

Here are our versions , our flowers need to grow in and we will need some warm weather for that !The above basket is huge ! On our way to Home Depot it was hanging out of someones garbage can :)

We used Miracle Grow potting soil and just planted right in the baskets. The baskets were 99 cents to $4.00 for the picnic hamper.

This basket was 99 cents and has a fabric liner..

These are my daughters..

I will show you all these again when they start to grow and fill in !

Hope you all have a wonderful week ! Thanks so much for stopping by ! I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest , Etsy..all the links are in the sidebar !

Puffy Flowers, Cross Stitch and Thrifting !

I am still working away on the blue puffy flower blanket and thought I would give you a progress update :)

It is getting there , I am probably 2/3 of the way finished!

When we were out Flea Marketing this weekend we stopped in a Good Will store and my daughter found this barnwood frame on a shelf for $2.00 It had a gold velvet around the inside and it matches with the gold color in the Prairie Schooler Rabbit Run ..Just have to get it mounted and popped in the frame and it is ready for next Springs decorating !

I am working on the May cottage , from Country Cottage Needleworks ..Of course I have changed the colors :)

At the same Good Will I got this chicken plate for 49 cents ! It looks so cute on the shelf in the kitchen !

Hope you all have a wonderful week ! Thanks so much for stopping by ! I would love for you to follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest , Etsy..all the links are in the sidebar !

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 !

Pottery Barn Inspired Christmas Pillows

I love all the Pottery Barn Christmas Pillows ! I have seen a lot of bloggers making them , so my daughter and I decided to make our own version..We made the sweater pillows from Good Will sweaters. Sewed with the sewing machine then stuffed or put an old pillow inside.

Below are pottery barns pillows..

I didn't want to use the same kind of font , so we just went with a simple font , freehanded..with a few swirlies.. We used burlap ..1 yard made 2 of the jingle pillows and 2 of the Joy button pillows. The burlap cost $2.99 at Joann Fabrics. Not bad for 4 Christmas pillows ! I got the red jingle bells at Dollar tree. We just stuffed the pillows with fiber fill. and sewed by hand the pillows to close the openings on the bottom.

For the big sweater pillow I cut it off under the armholes and sewed it with my sewing machine. I stuffed it and sewed the bottom by hand. I think its a handknit sweater and it makes a beautiful pillow.

For the little JOY pillow , I painted the word JOY with white craft paint, then we hot glued buttons to the top of the word.. The NOel pillow is Painted then glittered, on burlap.

We also made the LOVE ,PEACE ,JOY pottery barn pillows...
Peace Love Joy Lumbar Pillow Cover

The pottery Barn version ..

We didn't use stencils ...I just freehanded them..We put parchment paper inside the burlap before we painted them so it wouldn't bleed through to the back.
