Rae Dunn Look Alike Ornaments

Look at all these beauties!

My daughter Chelsea and I are Rae Dunn mug collectors,, more hunting for them than collecting! Her pieces are hard to find ! Chelsea saw these on a Cricut board on Facebook and knew she could make them ..

 So we got 2 boxes each of white ball ornaments.. she used her Cricut to cut vinyl letters and then adhered them  to each ornament.. the font is called The Skinny on Dafont.com

 Look how cute they are ! Can't wait to show you this tree they are on!

 Here are all of them ..Thanks Chelsea for making me such cute ornaments!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

 Good morning!
Can you stand the cuteness? Oh my gosh I love it!

 This is Country Cottage Needleworks The Most Wonderful Time Of the Year .. I changed the colors of floss..I used Classic Colorworks Cherry Cobbler, brown sugar , and spinach .. I use the Hickory sticks and the white dmc.. I had found this sign at Walmart so I wanted the colors to blend with it instead of the brighter red and green that was called for..

I mounted the stitching and also some red/ black homespun to pieces of sticky board .. I added homespun black check fabric covered foam core in 2 strips to the back to attach the truck and the stitching,.. I wired the whole thing onto a evergreen wreath .. I cut apart one big flocked pic from Hobby Lobby 

 and glued it all around the wreath .. it included the flocked pine cones and the black snow covered berries.. I added the 2 vintage gingerbread men cookie cutters ( that were used when I was a kid)and also 2 bows made from the homespun and buffalo check ..

 This will hang in my kitchen on the basement door for the Christmas season.. Love how it turned out!

It's A Frosty Forest!

Hello friends!

Woohoo! Look what I finished! So.. I started the Frosty Forest collection from Country Cottage Needleworks in January .. I was going to stitch one a month and I stuck to that for the first couple months then that went out the window! But I rallied here at the end to finish it! I stitched them with the called for threads and used tea/ coffee dyed light blue evenweave..

 I knew I wanted a window to mount them in and it was hard to find one with enough panes.. but I found this one at the last flea market Chelsea and I went to.. It came this green color which is about the same green used in all the trees that were stitched..and the chippiness of the paint was already there! I did change out the knob because it was just a plain silver one..It is so great when what you imagine actually works out perfectly!

 I mounted the stitching on sticky board.. then a mat of white on white polka dots..then a mat of aqua snowflakes.. I then glued the whole piece to a snowflake and added a covered button to the top of each one.. I used magnets and sheet metal to attach them just in case I find another series to stitch up for the window..

 Chelsea cut me the frosty forest letters on her Cricut and I glittered them .. The top is a wreath I found at a church rummage sale for 1.00 my husband  cut it in half and the wires from the wreath slip down over the top to hold it in place.. I added battery operated lights and a couple snowflakes to the flocked greenery ..I knew I wasn't going to stitch the center word chart so I took the base off a bottle brush tree , cut the back off of it and glued it and a felt deer to another snowflake.. It is also attached with magnet and sheet metal..Can I tell you how excited I am that it is finished ! I think it will be placed on our stair landing ..I just put it here for photo taking!

Happy Halloween in a Tray!

Good morning! 

Only a couple days left until Halloween!

 I finished this Silver Creek Samplers Happy Halloween this past week.. This was one of my Stitchmaynia starts this year ..It is in the 2013 Special Halloween issue from Just Cross Stitch Magazine or you can buy the chart..

I changed all the floss except for the Ohio Lemon Pie and all the colors I used are above..

This is the wall in my kitchen filled with some Halloween and Autumn stitched goodies! On top is Lizzie Kate Halloween ABC's ..hanging are the Judith Kirby Halloween Victorians, on the right is the Chalk for the Home Sunflower Manor ( my chalkboard to cross stitch collaboration with Hands On Design..

I mounted the stitching on sticky board and then did another piece of sticky board for the back of black check homespun.. I added it with magnets and sheet metal to this tray from The Good will .. I made a bow from Halloween buffalo check fabric and the black check homespun.. the little ghost is a tulip wood shape turned upside down and painted white with a ghost shape..I also added some black glitter berries from the Dollar Tree to the bow.. you can click the colored text to read more about those things ..
