The Windows Are Up!

Good morning friends!

The windows are UP... And the wreaths are on them! I got these huge vintage windows at a flea market last month..we broke the glass out of them because one of the panes of glass was missing.. it made hanging them on the wall a lot easier ( and thanks to my son in law for doing the hanging) since they lost a lot of weight that way. Love the hardware on the left side.. I might try to find some old crusty hardware at the flea market to attach to the other side!

They couldn't be more perfect though in this great grey color since our walls are pale grey.. 

Lots of "Joy" for me having them on the wall!

The view from the kitchen.

I got the wreaths at Hobby Lobby .. I waited until they were 50% off..I thought the cotton wreaths will be perfect all year round The walls next to the china cabinet were so empty and these windows were just the right size to fill up those areas!

The Vintage Buffet Got a Redo

Good morning!
I have this vintage buffet that resides in my family room.. It always has seasonal vignettes on it and it has been painted 3 times since I have had it. I found it at an estate sale for around 25 dollars. First we painted it dark aqua..
on a side note..
My neighbor gave me a bunch of old trucks for the grandsons but that red pickup had to come in the house ! Love it!

Then after I painted the kitchen Rainwashed I used some of it to lighten up the piece.. The husband didn't like the lighter color ...so I said how about dark red? Also see how there is no bottom knob on the left and the right knob isn't all the way screwed in? There is a drawer there that we have never been able to open.. So the knobs just wouldn't stay because we couldn't add the back part to keep them on..But my husband fixed that so now the bottom has 2 knobs that don't hang down! :)

It is like a barn door red not so maroon as the photos look ( probably the lighting) My daughter painted it for me on Monday and then dark waxed it. Love, love, love it! The paint is Rust-o-Leum chalk paint in Crimson with Annie Sloan Dark Wax..

I got new knobs at Hobby Lobby ..Look at them ..They are fabulous!

I need to pick a wall color and get to painting.. and if you see any dust bunnies ..look away ! LOL! This last photo is more representative of the barn red color.. Love the color!

Sunflower Manor.. Chalk for the Home

Good morning friends!
Hope your Labor Day weekend was good! Sunflower Manor is my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration between Hands On Design and Me! This design will be shipping to stores this week so call and preorder it! This is the 3rd in the series Tulip House and Rose Cottage came before this one..

These are the chalkboards I drew that Cathy from Hands on Design charted the designs from. If you have followed my blog for a while you know that I Love pumpkins and sunflowers...So this would be the perfect house for me .. sunflowers bigger than the house and a pumpkin vines growing all the way up the roof and a whole yard of pumpkins !

I stitched mine on 28 count Monaco that I had purchased on Ebay from Garibaldi's fabrics. I think the color was Midnight. But the fabric was not dark enough ( it was more grey than black) so I used Rit dye and dyed it until it was more to my liking. I used almost the whole bottle on this piece. It looks straight up black in these photos , but it is black with grey ..

Doesn't it look amazing in the updated frame ! I use magnets and sheet metal on the back of the designs to change them out with the seasons ...Cathy does such a great job getting the chalkboard drawings into these designs ! I hope you all will stitch these and love them as much as I do.. and if you are on Instagram or Facebook tag me so I can see your stitching!

Pumpkin Patch Farm

Good morning...
Happy Sunday!
I am loving getting out all my Fall decor .. so I needed to get the chalk board changed! In case you are new to my blog this chalkboard hangs in my kitchen entry from the family room.. I got the frame at a rummage sale and had a board cut to fit and painted it with chalkboard paint.. I change it out with the seasons. All the designs are my own originals..

I L-O-V-E pumpkins! So whats better than pumpkin patch farm!  There is a scarecrow in the pumpkin patch with his plaid shirt and jeans.. up on the hill is a barn with a cow and a couple chickens .. The pumpkins are all in my favorite colors of orange , blue and white!

Even a heart carved on the tree trunk...
Hope your Labor Day weekend has been a great one so far!

Pumpkins 4 Sale

Good morning!

Pumpkins 4 Sale is all finished up! 

I finished stitching this Little House Needleworks piece on our road trip back from Mackinac Island..

My daughter and I had gone to Hobby Lobby a couple weeks ago and Chelsea saw this wood basket ..It is perfect for the piece!  So yesterday I mounted the stitching on sticky board and used some green and cream flannel for the background mat .. I glued those two pieces together and added sheet metal to the back. I used magnets on the wood basket ..just in case I stitch something else that would fit on it ..

I had fun filling it up with a burlap pumpkin, sweater pumpkin and some Fall picks .. of course I had to add some of my favorite thistle stems in 2 colors!

I added a burlap bow to the handle ..and look how fabulous it looks!
There won't be a new flosstube video today ..but Monday there will be and I will be able to show you the new Chalk for the Home Autumn.. my chalkboard to cross stitch collaborations with Hands On Design!

Have a fabulous weekend!

It's September!

Good morning! 

Can you believe it is September? Summer flew by ..but now we are upon my favorite 4 months of the year! I love to decorate for Fall, Halloween and Christmas!

I finished stitching this September Sampler months chart pack ( includes the floss) from Classic Colorworks and Little House Needleworks, when we were on our road trip to Mackinac Island..
I didn't change any of the thread colors.

Remember that little chicken wire crate I got last month at Michaels? I added a pumpkin pick and some fall berries to it.. Mounted the stitching on sticky board and then mounted a piece of plaid homespun on sticky board, glued those together and added a piece of sheet metal to the back to attach to the magnet I had put on the crate. Easy ..but such a beautiful piece to add to my Fall decor..
