March Stitched Chalkboard

Happy Saturday!
I finished stitching the March edition of A Year In Chalk from Hands On Design...and finished it up this morning! I use a magnet on the pedestal frame( Michael's) and piece of sheet metal on the back of each stitched piece to change them out easily ..

It is on display in the foyer on the green painted cabinet..

I added a galvanized bucket full of faux.. tulips a cute bird and a small tureen on top of the vintage scale with a nest and a bird.. a strand of spring blossoms is draped across the cabinet.

Well ..that's it ! I am ready for April's!

January's and February's are below with click able links..

Have a wonderful weekend!

Spring in the Kitchen 2015

Happy Friday !
Lets take a tour of the rest of the kitchen decorated for spring!

The seasonal chalkboard hangs on the wall between the family room and kitchen.. there is a DIY spring burlap wreath on the basement door..decorated with forsythia and a birds nest..

The galvanized tiered tray decorated for spring sits on the end of the counter..

a few chickens in a thrifted basket ..

The view into the dining room..

the basket of bunnies and book page covered eggs on the kitchen table..in a wire basket on a cake pedestal.

The new DIY spring table runner..

and my favorite spring vignette.. Doesn't it just say SPRING!

This was my first vintage scale I found .. its got a big white bowl with a stack of smaller plates inside ..topped with an urn that my daughter had bought at Goodwill and wasn't using ..In the urn is a moss bunny ( Hobby Lobby) surrounded by tulips from Michael's..The little birds are from Hobby Lobby and so is the branch of green thistles.. In the small pedestal bowl is a nest and another of the birds...a little blossom garland is wrapped around the nest with a few blue speckled eggs..

We went to Homegoods the other day and I found this bunny sugar bowl ( $3.99) and added it to the bottom tray ..now this is even more my favorite vignette!

This wire cloche was in the dining room ..its filled with a couple vintage chickens and a little wood box for height.

Naptime ..:) and yesterday this hawk came and landed on our fence while I was out there starting yard cleanup.. he was huge ! wish I would have had my camera ,this photo is from my phone.

I hope you all have wonderful weekends! It's been pretty warm here ..maybe even 60 today ..there is still a lot of snow in our yard. Hoping it will be gone soon !

Spring Table Runner

Good morning !
Last week I made a new spring table runner for the table and finally got around to sewing on the burlap ruffles yesterday ..

I used osnaburg fabric for the base .. and painted the words and flowers on with acrylic paint. I also used fabric paint bottles..For outlining and doodling :)

I cut bunny and flower shapes from stiff burlap ( that came from Michael's) and glued them on..

I used a roll of burlap ribbon for the ruffles ..I just gathered it by hand with a big needle and sewed it with the machine to the runner..

The chalk paint painted hutch is one of my favorite places to decorate ..

The diy ceiling medallion wreath with the book page rose hangs from a peg on the shelf

I will be back tomorrow with the rest of the spring kitchen ..
