Happy Fall Y'all!

Good morning!
I finished stitching this Happy Fall Y'all from Country Cottage Needleworks this week and finished it up last night onto my vintage cupcake pan ...

I love this so much and think it is just a perfect way to finish it!

it is charted for DMC but I used Classic Colorworks in the colors shown above ..

I mounted it on sticky board and used black check homespun on sticky board for the backing.. a magnet holds it to the pan.. I made a bow from orange gingham ribbon and black plaid homespun.. the pick has a bunch of acorns on it and compliments all the acorns in the chart .. so cute! This was one of my stitchmaynia starts and it is my 11th maynia finish .. not too bad!

Remember the Christmas version

and Valentines version ***

Summer ABC'S

Good morning!
Summer ABC'S from Little House Needleworks is all finished and on display! I finished stitching it last week and finally got around to finishing it yesterday .. I had to paint the shutter ..it just did not look good in the brownish color with the red, black and yellow..so I chalk painted it yesterday with linen white and sanded the edges a little ..It looks amazing!

I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. I have to put 2 pieces together because it does not come long enough ..

I used black gingham on another piece of sticky board ..I add ribbon ties and tie it to the shutter for changing out the seasons .. There is a magnet at the top to change out the bows ..

These are the colors I used .. I did switch a lot and switched a couple words..

I love it and love it on the vintage shutter in my kitchen ..

aren't they all just wonderful?

Sunflowers on the Mantel

Good morning!

The mantle is all set for the rest of the summer and I think these two approve :)

I drew the main chalkboard with just some sunflowers and the word summer and the little chalkboard with the word sunflowers.. It hangs on a piece of vintage fence from a flea market.

I found the black check and burlap garland at Hobby Lobby ..there is also a sunflower garland ..a cotton stem garland and chicken wire ribbon ,,

sunflowers top the lanterns .. a vintage scale has a basket full of sunflowers on top ..this is my stitching chair so most nights this is where you will find me ..I cut the hydrangeas from my bushes the other day and they are in water to make sure they dry perfectly .. they are huge!

This happened and Ronnie was not going to be left out ..
I think they both know how popular they are :)
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fast and Easy Chicken Caprese

Good morning!

If you have lots of cherry tomatoes and basil you need to make this for dinner! It is so good I have made it twice this week already!

What you need..

boneless skinless chicken breasts ( I split them in half so they are thinner and cook faster )

salt and pepper

3 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 tbsp. of butter

handful of fresh basil

heaping tablespoon of brown sugar

about 2 cups sliced in half cherry tomatoes

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

mozzarella cheese

Using a big frying pan with your butter and olive oil melted add your chicken that has been seasoned with salt and pepper on both sides.. cook until almost all the way done ..mine were about 7 minutes a side because they are thin..

cut your cherry tomatoes in half

and chop up your basil while your chicken is cooking ..

Pile up your chicken on the sides and add the vinegar to the middle of the pan .. add the brown sugar and the cherry tomatoes ..mix it up a little bit and place your chicken back all over the pan ( try for a single layer so the cheese gets evenly distributed).. add most of the basil to the top of the chicken ( reserve a little for the finished dish ) then add the mozzarella cheese in slices or shreds all over the top of the chicken ..put a lid on the pan on low/ medium until the cheese is melted ..

we like ours on angel hair pasta ..with a sprinkle of Romano cheese ..make sure you add a little of the tomatoes and balsamic over the top .. so good and very fast and easy! Even my husband and son who don't like tomatoes love this recipe ..
