Spring Subway art Tablerunner





Hello :)
The past couple of days I have been making my spring table runner.. I used muslin for the base and for the bottom ruffle and a small floral print for the top ruffle . I also added the little green pom pom trim. The spring words are  stamped with foam stamps, some of them I used fabric paint and freehanded. ( Yes that is subfloor in the background, we are remodeling:)









 I used my double deck basket to add some bunnies and florals to , I got the idea from Kristens Creations blog







I used the silver platter I got at Good will to put this Fitz and Floyd bunny teapot , surrounded by florals . I think he makes a great centerpiece.



A little springy vignette by the sink with a basket of those crocheted dishcloths , vintage scale and the metal cloche with a little bird in it. The flowers are still from Valentines day from one of my boys :)

 This is the view into my kitchen from the newly enlarged opening in the dining room . It makes it look so much bigger and open. Drywallers are supposed to be here today, they were supposed to start yesterday but with the 12 inches of snow we had it got postponed until today. Hope next time I have some more progress photos !
I started a new blanket. Just can't put that crochet hook down :) Especially to keep me sane with my house totally ripped apart ! I am using 3 colors of turquoise/aqua and 2 colors of a springy green .I got the pattern here .Anyone have suggestions for how they think I should join the squares? I tried the join as you go last night adding another row of the off white but I didn't like it ..Maybe I will do the join as you go and not add another row , just the one row of white >? I used this pattern before to make my daisy blanket ,but didn't add the second row of puffs.
Thank you so much for your visits and nice comments !

Winter subway art table runner

Thank you for visiting today ! We had a very busy Holiday season.. Christmas , New years , 2 of my kids birthdays , and our wedding anniversary..Seems like it all went by way too fast ! All of the Christmas is down and put away except for the 2 trees I keep up until the end of January. I started at 6 am and was finished by 1:00pm .. Does not take long at all to put away !The boys and husband put it all in the crawl space..
 I had to make another table runner for the winter .. I used dark aqua, light aqua, silver and white paints. I used osnaburg again for the base , today I had to go to Joann fabrics to get some fabric for the ruffles.. I didn't have any aqua fabrics.

 Some progress photos.. Like the Christmas one I made I stamped snowflakes lightly in the background using the silver and white paint



 I got this tray at Goodwill the house was a gift last year from my daughter, and I just added snowflakes and mini ornaments ..


 This house sits on a tray in the family room on the coffee table. Not ready to give up all the decorations yet ! I still have the ice skate tree and snowman tree up and they will stay up until the end on January.
 I have gotten some stitching done...2 prairie schooler santas and a 3rd one about 1/2 done.. a Little house needleworks ornament..and the snowman ornament..
 The mantel is decorated for winter.. I used a glittery house, some lanterns, snowy garland , snowy trees and ice skates..
Thanks as always for your visits and comments I truly appreciate them ! Hope 2013 is going well for you all !

Subway art table runner

I got out my foam stamps and made another subway art table runner.. Using Christmas words and red and green paint.. with a little white and silver too..

I used osnaburg again for the base and for the ruffle two different sizes of red gingham.  I stamped some snowflakes lighty with white and silver paint , its hard to see them in the photos. I used a mixture of fabric paint and regular acrylic.. The fabric paint has glitter so its got a lot of sparkle to it.








I finally got the ruffles sewn on this morning.. at least one project is finished ! Hoping to get my front porch decorated today since it will be a little warmer !
Thanks for visiting ! As always thank you for your wonderful comments ! I hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving with your family and friends !

Fall Table Runner is Finished !


I finally finished the table runner.. I added more words, restamped the light gold "family".. added the felt football , and added another homespun ruffle.. Its cloudy and rainy here today so it was hard to get a picture of the ruffles. I  love it and can't wait to do one for every holiday !!



Thanks as always for your comments and for reading my blog !
