Pigs and a Grater

Happy Friday!
What is cuter than a truck full of pigs on a vintage kitchen grater ?  :)

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

This is a little portion of Star Spangled Swine Farm my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands On Design! 

I just stitched the little truck for this piece .. This is the same grater that Carrots and Cottontails Farm  was on !

I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 layers of batting .. I added a little bunting to the top made from ribbon .. and added a little row of flower trim to the bottom .. a magnet holds it to the grater

I made a bow from 3 different types of ribbon and added a daisy with a covered button ..

thanks so much for stopping by!

A Tray full of Red White and Blue!

Hello friends!
This is Every Heart from Country Cottage Needleworks.. I started this last year and finished it up this spring and finally finished it today ..

***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I decided to use the flea marker tray that I have used for other seasonal projects .. The tray was tarnished silver but I painted it with linen white chalk paint ..

I added a blue buffalo check covered sticky board to the back of the stitched piece that was also mounted on sticky board .. I then made 2 ruffles of red ticking stripe fabric to the bottom and the top

Hickory Sticks, Desert Mesquite, Blue Corn, Bamboo, and Licorice Red were the floss colors I used.. I stitched it one 28 count light blue evenweave that I coffee tea dyed ..


***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****

I used lambs ear type greenery , added some daisies and a big red white and blue plaid bow .. On top of the bow I added another daisy with a covered button in the blue plaid ..so cute! I also added some strips of the blue check fabric streamers to the topper ..for extra dimension...
 I did hot glue the topper onto the top of the tray , since it is metal it will peel off to add another seasonal design ..
  I used magnets in the tray and washers on the back of the project ..

The blue buffalo check fabric came from this bundle ..Kitchen Wovens Fabric Bundle-http://shrsl.com/1lw72

Chickens on a Trivet

 Good morning!
We have a rainy day here .. but we really needed it!  This is Coop from Bent Creek part of the Spring snapper series .. Chelsea stitched it and I finished it on a trivet I found at the Good Will for $1.99.. I broke out the ceramic piece and glued a homespun covered sticky board to the base .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board and added some Lady dot creates ric rac around the edges .. It is adorable!

 I am working on Blessed Bee from With Thy Needle and Thread

 and also the Queen Bee Flower Farm sign from Chalk on the farm my collaboration with Hands On Design .. I have already stitched this but have an idea in my head for finishing that I really want displayed ..

And there you have it .. the cutest tiny chickens on an awesome chicken trivet ..

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!

America!

 Good morning!
Red, White and Blue all over the chalkboard this Memorial Day ..I love buntings and all patriotic decor ...

 The chickens on the bottom holding the buntings ... a fence with bunting and flowers..

 A farmhouse with window boxes full of flowers and buntings..whats not to love? :) This chalkboard hangs on the wall into my kitchen from the family room and gets changed out for the seasons .. I found the frame at a rummage sale and had a board cut to fit that I painted with chalkboard paint..

Thank you to the men and women who serve our country ...

 
Hope your Memorial weekend has been great ! Thanks for stopping by!

A Tray Full Of Chickens and Daisies

 Good morning!
Remember those Prairie Schooler chickens I stitched from the Welcome Spring chart ? Yesterday I decided it was time to debunny the tiered tray and fill it with chickens and daisies.. so I finished up those 2 chickens and into the tray they went! I have a couple other small chicken pieces that I will hopefully stitch and add to the tray ..

 I finished them on sticky board ( of Course) and used more sticky board for the black gingham .. I added some burlap lace ribbon to the bottom ..and they are perfect !

 I have lots of vintage chickens in bright colors to mix with all the black .. black gingham ribbons and black floral ribbon are all in the tray ..

 A chalkboard front and center with some greenery ..

 aren't they just the cutest!

 the tray is filled all the way around .. with more chickens and daisies ..

 Black and white checks are my favorite ... throw in some daisies and chickens and it couldn't be better! What could be better is it was not snowing here in Illinois on April 16 !

Of course Ronnie had to make an appearance 

and that means the #meanestcatinamerica couldn't be left out!

 So that is it from me for today .. Hope you have a great week!
