A Jar full of Snowy !



Happy Sunday !
The mason jar chalkboard is now filled up with snowmen!  We actually got a couple inches of snow last night .. we haven't had very much at all this winter!



This chalkboard is in my family room and hangs over the vintage buffet.. It's a very vintage frame that I had a board cut to fit..and then painted with chalkboard paint .. my oval galvanized tiered tray sits on the buffet full of vintage and newer putz type houses.. I leave my winter decor up until sometime in February when I transition to spring!


Jolly Happy Soul from With Thy needle and thread also sits on the buffet ..
Thanks so much for your visit!

A Snowman in a Tray


Happy Sunday!
This is Candy Cane wishes from With Thy Needle and Thread 


***Please remember if you copy my finishing ideas that you be considerate and give a link to my blog or facebook page..****
I left off the candy cane to make it more winter than Christmas .. and stitched it using Classic Colorworks floss in the colors .. Mistletoe..Licorice Red.. Four Leaf Clover.. Autumn Spice ...12 Grain..Black Coffee .. I stitched it on blue coffee tea dyed 28 count 
I also use this same tray for Jingle all the way 
I found this tray in Missouri last spring .. I chalk painted it off white and added some glaze for distressing .. I mounted the stitching on sticky board with 2 pieces of warm and natural batting in between .. a magnet stacked on small pieces of sticky board in the bottom of the tray to raise it up enough for the washer on the back of the stitching to attach .. I used a green plaid homespun for the trim and a red plaid bow and a jingle bell snowman .. It is super cute!

This weeks flosstube .. There's a snake in my boots :)

Christmas Joy


 Hello friends!
I finished stitching this piece Oranmental Joy from Country Cottage Needleworks right after Christmas last year .. I finally decided to finish it up this week onto an enamel pot lid that I found at a flea market ..
Christmas was still up when I finished stitching it :)
 I mounted it on sticky board and added a torn ruffle of homespun plaid fabric .. I used a magnet to attach to the pot lid and a magnet on the Christmas greenery pick .. I still might add a bow .. still thinking about that one ! I love it and can't wait to display it with all my other Christmas pretties!

 This sweet cow is my first punch needle project .. he is so cute! a little vintage truck ..sunflowers and cotton branches on top of a stack of coverless thrift store books..
