Vintage Cupcake Pan Love ..

 Good morning!
I am here to share "lovely Home " from Country Cottage Needleworks .. started stitching this yesterday and finished it up this morning .. For Christmas I stitched another skinny little piece from Country Cottage Needleworks "Tis the Season"and mounted it on this vintage cupcake pan and hoped that this one would also fit!

 I changed the colors to use what I had on hand .. all are shown below.. I was going to do the house red but I might want to leave this out past valentines day and  the aqua will fit into my kitchen better..
 I made a bow with ribbon and ripped fabric and cut hearts with pinking sheers from bookpages ..I attached the hearts with hot glue to a little strip of burlap ribbon
 The stitching is mounted on sticky board on top of a piece of sticky board covered in ticking stripe.. magnets are glued onto the back to attach to the cupcake pan..
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Its Still Winter!


Happy Friday!
I finished up Lizzie Kate's Winter from the Winter Smalls chart last night ..
I just used floss that I had on hand .. all colors shown above..
this is how it looks outside this morning.. about 10 new inches of snow last night and this morning..not complaining at all .. lots of snow makes for green grass :)
 I used the same little chalkboard easel tray that I used for the Autumn smalls
 it's stitched on 28 count tea/coffee dyed Monaco .. I used two wintery picks on the top ..and a magnet and washer to be able to change it out ..This only took a couple hours to stitch up and is adorable ! I used black gingham ribbon with a piece of torn blue gingham fabric for decorations.. A covered button of black gingham finishes off the bow..

It's February


Hello Friends !
Here is February Sampler months from Little House Needleworks/ Classic Colorworks ..there are the thread packs you get with all the floss to complete them.. 
 I started stitching it yesterday and finished it this morning .. these are very quick to stitch !

 I did change up some of the colors.. I did the house in Khaki Mocha and all the other white areas.. Hickory sticks for February and the branches , and muddy puddle for the roof an d windows. I also added panes in the windows with the Cupid color.. It is so pretty! I have it mounted on sticky board and then glued to a black gingham fabric covered sticky board .. A metal washer on the back to adhere to the magnet on the chicken wire box.. and there you have it ! Only 3 months left to do ..March and April and December ..I love having these on display each month!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello Snow!

 Good morning!
 It is Hello snow inside and outside! We have been getting a couple inches 3 times this week so far... and of course I finished up this cute Country Cottage Needleworks Hello Snow chart!
 I changed a few things .. the color of the border , the scarfs and I left off the big top and bottom borders of snowflakes. I stitched it on light blue tea/ coffee dyed 28 count Monaco ..all the colors I used are shown above..
 I had this tray that I found at a flea market for $1.00 and I had a Fall piece in it but wanted to use  it again and I figured if I left off the snowflake borders it would work!
 I mounted it to sticky board .. added a gathered piece of ripped red gingham.. used a washer on the back to attach to the magnet I had already put on the tray .
 I made a bow from greenery and black gingham ribbon and added a covered button ..
 It has its place of honor on the table in the family room with the Snow Place like Home banner and also Winter Wonderland ,,
 So pretty to keep Winter from being dull and boring! :)

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Baby Bee Blanket..

 Happy Monday!
The first crocheted  baby blanket for the new grandchild to be is finished! I got this pattern from Pinterest for the blanket .. It is done in shell stitch..
 and then crocheted the little bee.. I did not use a pattern for the bee , I just took yarn and a hook and made him ....I think it turned out so cute! I used the I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby ..It took 3 skeins of the off white to make the blanket ..
 I blanket stitched it on the blanket with black . I left the wings and the antennas loose ... for more texture..

Jolly Happy Soul

Happy Saturday!
Isn't this snowman the cutest!
 I did do some color changes ..they are all shown above..this is Jolly Happy Soul from With Thy Needle and Thread..
 I stitched it on 28 count tea/coffee dyed Monaco ..
 I used a frame my daughter and her husband made last fall , out of molding and chicken wire. I used metal washers on the back of the project to attach to the magnets already glued on to the chicken wire..
 A bow of torn red check gingham fabric and black gingham ribbon .. accent the 2 wintery picks
 This was my first time stitching 1 over 1 to stitch the cardinals! It was not bad at all :)
