A little Winter Stitching

 Good Morning !
I am so excited to show you this little winter stitchy finish !
 Yesterday morning I got it mounted on needlework board and clipped it to the clipboard frame I found at Michael's last fall.
 I definitely have a thing for houses :) The January cottage from Country Cottage Needleworks is here on the buffet too.

 It's on a cake pedestal I got at Joann Fabrics last year on major clearance. It is sitting with all the little putz type houses I got at the little thrift store in our town.
 The colors all go great with the aqua chalk painted buffet...


 This was Autumn of the four seasons in the fall.. Hoping to have the spring design finished for this year ..

Thanks so much for your visit !  I Hope you have a wonderful day !

Winter In The Kitchen 2015

 Happy Wednesday !
Come on in and see the kitchen decorated for winter !
 This big thrift store basket held a Santa for Christmas and I switched him out for this cute snowman ..I added a big winter pick I got at Michaels last week on super clearance..I also added the little owl salt and pepper shakers .They are from BHG at Walmart .
 I love decorating the chalk painted hutch for the seasons.. The roosters stay on top all year round. I just wrote Winter on the silver tray painted with chalkboard paint.The garlands from Christmas stayed up with the white lights.
 Inside there are roosters and cow creamers. A silver tray , bottle brush trees , pinecones and snowman plates I found thrifting last year .

On the shelf is a vintage scale with a cute thrift store snowman mug , ice skate ornament , mason jars and bottle brush trees.


 I took some of my roosters and put them in this wrought iron 2 tier tray with mason jars , flocked greenery ,bottle brush trees, and burlap ribbons. Love this little winter scene by my sink..
 These roosters are from a flea market last summer .. they are my favorites !
 On the table is the galvanized centerpiece..and the winter subway art table runner

 The shelf holds some more winter thrift store plates, mason jars, bottle brush trees and a picket fence snowman sign.
 Another vintage scale with a snowman cookie jar , greenery and pinecones sit on this upside down wicker tray. A pedestal bowl holds more greenery and cross stitched ornament. Love the white chicken with his wreath around his neck.
 Of course my favorite seasonal decoration is the big chalkboard..

 I love all the winter photos with the blue hour outside .. It just makes it look so wintery !

Thanks so much for your visit !  I Hope you have a wonderful day !

January Stitching

 Good Morning !
I finished up my January stitching ..and this is the end of the Country Cottage Needleworks cottages and wordplays from With Thy Needle and Thread for me ! So excited to be finished ! As it stands I am not going to stitch Novembers since I decorate for Christmas early .. But this is the last of the eleven months !
 The January cottage sits on the aqua buffet in the family room.. I have a strand of white lights woven through the mason jars and the lanterns and little houses.

 The colors of the January cottage fit right in here !
 I love that deer ,it came from a Gordman's before Christmas ..I got 2 of them :) It's sitting on an urn from the Goodwill.
 I used a piece of sheet metal on both of these and that attaches to a magnet on the frame so I can change them out every month. The back of the frame that the cottage sits on is a bleached color burlap.
 The January wordplay sits on the  desk in the family room in a wooden tray .
 I used a thrift store sweater to frame it out and its on a chalkboard painted thrift store tray ..
 If you would like to see all the other months click here ! I love them all and it will be so fun to pull them out every month FINISHED !!!! I am starting a new monthly series as soon as it comes called a Year In chalk ..Have you seen it ? They look like little cross stitched chalkboards ! I am excited to get started on that !
Yesterday the sunset was amazing !
I finished stitching  this ornament for Santa Sundays on Instagram ..come find me if you are on IG @priscillablain ..hashtag #santasundayxs for all you stitchers to stitch something Christmasy on Sundays. This one is from a JUst Cross Stitch ornament issue .
We still have cold and snow .. the view out of our living room window..

Winter Galvanized Centerpiece

Good Morning !
I am still loving decorating this galvanized tray that I got at Sam's club this spring for the seasons!
 Here it is all dressed up for the winter..The tree you see in the background is the ice skate tree that stays up all winter..I also keep up the snowman tree in the family room and this year I am keeping up the flocked tree too.. Can't go treeless after having 13 of them :)

 This little snowman is a Fitz and Floyd piece..I used alot of glittery pinecones..greenery and snowflakes.Bottle brush trees and glitter branches..
 This snowman is from the Goodwill ..its a pair of salt and pepper shakers. The deer and trees are from BHG at Walmart ..more salt and pepper shakers.
 There are little Putz type house ornaments  that came from  Joann Fabrics.
 The painted mason jars on top hold greens , snowflakes and some red berries..



It's a cold one here today ! School is closed because of the temperatures !
Christmas is almost all put away ..here is one last shot of the big tree..
All the Prairie Schooler ornaments are back in their drawer to wait for next year .. Hope there are more of them !
Everyone always asks where everything gets stored.. here are all the Fitz and Floyd Santas in their closet in the basement ..
Still working on Januarys stitching projects ...hope to finish them this week !
