Halloween Stitching

Happy Halloween !
I am excited I actually finished this before Halloween ! This is the collection of Lizzie Kate Tingles patterns ..I had this idea to display it on picket fence boards and it actually looks cute ! I painted the fence light gray then used brown stain over the top.. I added a burlpa piece threaded throught the panels and a burlap bow with some Fall berries..

This is a big long stitching piece , and I am really not into frames on the wall.. So I got 3 picket fence pieces from Home Depot.. used 2 small pieces of wood across the back to hold them together with screws. I had the nice man at Home depot cut about 5 inches off the bottom of each fence piece.. I also bought a thin piece of wood that he cut to the size I needed to mount the stitching on. All of this was under $12.00 and I still have a big piece of the thin wood left .

Right now its in the foyer ..not sure where it will end up..

I used magnets on the wood and a long piece of sheet metal on the back of the stitching. I have the Christmas Lizzie Kate patterns that I hope to get stitched before Christmas so I can use the fence for both !

I love how it turned out !

Yesterday these zinnias came out of my garden ..

This morning there were snow flurries !

Hope you have fun Halloween celebrations !!!

Halloween Mantel 2014

Good morning ! Last night I worked on the mantel for Halloween ..

I made a banner with book pages and letters cut on my Cricut . I just freehanded the banner shapes and cut 3 pages for each pennant, hot glued them together and then used mod podge on the top of them and to hold the silver glitter on the edges. I punched a hole into the top of each pennant then used ribbon to tie it to tulle ribbon .

I got the crows at the Dollar Tree store, and also that black drapey scary looking cloth under the banner. I used a branch from a tree in our yard to lay across the mantel for a crow to sit on.

It even looks good in black and white :)

Some of the crows hanging out ...I used off white sweater pumpkins to place the crows on..

My daughter had bought this frame at a flea market this summer for $5.00.. She has been working alot and hadn't got a board cut for it so I asked if I could borrow it for my Halloween mantel . It's a big frame.. the opening is 16 x 24..I got a piece of mdf cut at Home Depot for the inside and painted it with chalkboard paint. So its a win win for both of us ! I get to borrow it and she got her chalkboard :)

I left the leaf garlands from the Fall mantel and there are white lights added in..

Crows , an owl and sweater pumpkins..The glitter pumpkins are from Walmart ..I used those in the Fall mantel also ..

A close up of the banner..

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 !

Happy Thanksgiving !

I had to crochet up this little turkey hat for the youngest grandson yesterday .. I used the pattern for an owl hat , made the beak bigger..made leaf like shapes for the feathers and a bigger kind of wonkey leaf for that dangly red thing .. He is so adorable and he will actually pose for you now :)

We got our real tree on Tuesday , IT'S HUGE .. and decorate it last night .. of course we had to run out and buy more lights because we had several strands that weren't working. I put white light on it too for the first time .. I thought it looked pretty with both the colored lights and white mixed. Its sitting in a galvanized bucket from an estate sale that I need to get down on my knees and scrape that label off the side ! This tree is filled with all our family ornaments , some from when I was a child..all the way up to the bread dough family ornaments we get each year at the craft shows. If you look at the front of the tree towards the top , my son and husband put a purple dog toy and I didn't even see it when I took this picture .. This is the 13th tree for this year ! I need to start showing you more of them !

Hope you all have a wonderful day filled with family and friends ! I have a 26 pound turkey waiting for me ! Happy Thanksgiving !
