Fresh from The Farm


Good morning friends!
Another wreath got made yesterday and look at how wonderful it is! This is my daughters stitching of Farm Fresh  from Country Cottage Needleworks.. stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave .
so.. my daughter had the fresh produce sign..I hot glued that to the wreath , Then I mounted the stitching on sticky needlework board , and mounted some homespun black and tan check to another piece of sticky board and glued them together. I attached it to the back of the sign with a strip of fabric , and then needed something more secure so I used the sticks you put into cake pops to hold both pieces together. Use what you have ...right ? :)
I used burlap wired ribbon, pieces of ripped homespun , some greenery, sunflowers and the green thistle branches to make the bow .. This is going to hang in her kitchen ..originally we were just going to hang the stitching from the sign but I think the wreath looks amazing and will be a really beautiful addition to her kitchen.. Thanks so much for your visit,,, we are off to the Wisconsin State Fair today ...hope the rain  holds off for us!

Chelsea's Chalkboard


Good morning!
Yesterday I my youngest son and I had a lunch "date" and after that we drove up to visit my daughter.. (she lives about 40 minutes away) ..So while I was there she wanted her chalkboard drawn.. and this is what I came up with ..She requested a truck and chickens.. and only had regular white chalk and sidewalk chalk for the colors.. where is the eye rolling emoji :)
The chalkboard is just molding my son in law cut to make a frame and attached to the wall with chalkboard paint painted directly on the wall. It's big about 6 feet by 3 feet!
Love it ..I need to get busy and change up my truck chalkboard!
Hope you have a great day!

August ..August..August!


It's August! This summer is flying by!
I stitched up this Classic Colorworks , Little House Needleworks Sampler Months August , and decided I wanted to use it in my foyer instead of the tiered tray in the kitchen.
So I went to Michael's and found this wood crate with chicken wire on the front .. and I just loved how it looked and the fact that I can fill it with florals to correspond with each month! I added 2 magnets to the chicken wire and a piece of sheet metal to the back of the mounted stitching.. easy to change out for the coming months. Won't it be pretty filled with fall florals and winter florals!?!
I did change some of the floss colors and the ones I used are shown above.. Looking forward to having this little crate to change out with the months!

Sunflowers and Bees Project


Hello friends!
I finished stitching this Country Cottage Needleworks Sunflowers In Summer last week and got around to the finishing today!

I mounted it on sticky board ..then mounted a piece of black homespun check for the backing and glued them together.. I used sunflowers from Hobby Lobby and burlap ribbons for the bow. I added some of the homespun for  the bow also. 
Oh my gosh I just love it! And I love the fact that I finished it because it was started in 2016 for Stitchmaynia!
My sofa table in the family room is all sunflowers and bees.. perfect for this last month of summer!
and in case you haven't heard my daughter and I did a Youtube video about our stitching.. come check us out and please subscribe!

Sunflowers in the Galvanized Tiered Tray


Good morning friends...hope it's been a good week so far for you!
I'm here to share the galvanized tiered tray all sunflowered up!
I went to a flea market last Sunday with my daughter and I found the little sunflower Fitz and Floyd pig ( $3.00) isn't he cute! I stuck a little chalkboard with summer drawn on it front and center..
There are big sunflowers in painted mason jars in the top tier with a cute yellow vintage chicken..


I also got this little tiny vintage chicken at the flea market..he was $1.00 and he is just adorable!

Sunflowers and Sheep


Happy Friday!

This is Louise and Henry from Little House Needleworks.. I found the frame at the Goodwill and it fits perfectly ! I stitched it on 28 count tea/coffee dyed evenweave ( of course) ! I used all the called for threads ..my only change was to leave out the checkerboard pattern at the bottom of the hill.
I am starting to switch out all the daisies for sunflowers ..sunflowers and bees are what I am going with until Fall .. I just need to stitch MORE ! :)

I added a bow made from 2 different homespun checks and a sunflower..easy finish but cute!
