July's Stitchy Chalkboard

Good morning!
Here is July's Hands On Design ..A Year In Chalk ..
I was working on this one yesterday and was halfway finished when I realized it was off by 2 stitches! So I have stitched this one almost twice !!!

Since the theme is Red, White and BBQ it is in the kitchen on the counter with the green vintage scale ..

I finished it off this morning on a piece of sticky needlework board ..and a piece of sheet metal on the back to adhere to the magnet I have glued to the gingham on the frame.

My DIY boxwood wreath, some daisies ,a painted mason jar ..and a little chicken salt and pepper shaker complete the fun vignette..

If you would like to see what I am up to everyday join me on Instagram and my Facebook page ! I do post on both almost everyday ..Links to my Facebook page , Instagram and Pinterest are in the sidebar .. Hope to see you there ! :)

Thanks so much for all your visits and sweet comments !

Patriotic Stitchy Vignette

Good morning !
I finished stitching up this Blackbird designs In Full Glory. Patriotic piece a couple days ago and yesterday I decided to put it into this frame .. I cut a piece of mounting board just snug enough to sit inside the frame so the stitching can be removed and the frame used for different seasonal pieces.

I did dry brush the frame with cream paint ..It is actually made of plastic but you can't tell and it looks so pretty.. I used a piece of burlap looking ribbon for the bottom ..I just wrapped it around the homespun piece and tied it. I then glued an old button to the tie.,

The roses are still going strong from Mothers day these were from my daughter.... I have them in a vase inside a galvanized pail ..I am hoping they will just dry this way :) There is a stem of green thistles and a flag also in the pail.

I had problems with the blue homespun check being straight again yesterday so I just used it diagonally again.

Remember I used the frame in the spring for Prairie Schoolers R is for Rabbit ?

and its first use was this winter design from Little House Needleworks.

I finished this Year In Chalk for June last night ..my pup is saying can we go to bed yet ? I did change the brownish thread to blue to go better with my patriotic summer decor ..

Yesterday was stormy and sunny ..it changed every 15 minutes ..But the iris are blooming !

Yesterdays sunrise..
Don't you just love this time of year with all the flags and the red white and blue decor!

I am off to work in the yard ! Have a wonderful day !

Flags, stars, red, white and blue flowers, daisies, blue transferware ,a little stitched piece, a small chalkboard are all included !

Painted mason jars with red gingham fabric ties..

This tiered tray came from Sam's club last spring ..and I so enjoy decorating it for the holidays..

I am still on the lookout for some red transferware to add into the decorations.. Good thing church rummage sale season is upon us :)

Dried blue hydrangeas from the garden ..

It's Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!
I had finished stitching Old Glory from Little House Needleworks the other night ..and this is how I finished it off.

I had found this clipboard frame at Michael's a few weeks ago ( I know another clipboard frame from Michaels:) I loved how this stitched piece looked on it. I had trouble with the blue homespun check ..it would just cooperate and line up straight.I turned it sideways and the squares are on the diagonal now. it looks much better than crooked lines.
