Snowbirds

Happy Tuesday Friends!
I finished stitching With Thy Needle and Thread Snowbirds last night ..and finished it up today .
I used grey 28 count coffee/ tea dyed even weave .. and Classic Colorworks floss in the colors of Cherry Cobbler ..Barn Door .. cocoa bean .. mossy ..Ye Olde Gold ..Eggshell.. Fallen Leaves .. Hickory Sticks .. Wagon Wheel.. Hayride
 I mounted the stitching on sticky board .. then added another piece of sticky board covered in a plaid homespun .. then a red homespun torn ruffle behind the stitching ..I used a piece of barn wood to mount it on ( Chelsea cut it for me :) Then I attached a wood snowman I bought at a church rummage sale to the side for 25 cents I think :) .. I added some flocked greenery and a bow made from 2 kinds of ribbon ..

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 :)

A Truck full of Winter!

Happy Friday! 
Here is my first finish for 2019 .. It is the truck portion of the Winter Wonderland Farm chart .. My chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands on Design!


I mounted it on sticky board ..( don't mind the glitter .. it is fallout from the greenery I used on top ) and then mounted big red gingham homespun to sticky board .. 

I used a vintage muffin tin and attached it with a magnet and washer on the back 

I also used a magnet for the greenery and bow .. so I can use the muffin tin for other designs .. I now have two of these muffin tins in use .. one for the long skinny designs and this one for the smaller pieces .. A bow of buffalo plaid and a snowman jingle bell finish it out! Love it !
