Beach Easel



Hello Friends!

Just finished up this cute beach-themed easel with a Lizzie Kate sampler!


I've had this wood pallet easel in my possession for awhile, waiting for the perfect piece. The white-wash on the easel made me think "beach" so it felt like the perfect design for it.


The stitched piece is mounted to some teal coordinating fabric and edged with green cording. A small white bow with orange cover button completes the piece.


STITCHY DETAILS:

Pattern: A Little Beach #K69
Designer: Lizzie Kate
Colors Used: White, 469, 471, 3853, 921, 597, 930

Pie Menu



Hello Friends!

I stitched up this Pie Menu pattern a while ago and knew exactly how I wanted it finished, but didn't have all of the parts in order to execute my plan. And then I found this perfectly sized rolling pin and it all came together!



First I mounted the stitched piece to some red and white gingham to match the tablecloth in the pattern. The secret to this was making sure the gingham was the correct size to be able to add a hanger that fits the dimensions of the rolling pin. It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard, but I spent more than enough time (and bad words) getting it right.



The rolling pin was originally oak-stained with bright red handles. I wanted to tone it down a bit, so I whitewashed the rolling pin itself, and then roughed up the handles to make them look a little vintage. I added a sawtooth hanger to the back of the rolling pin so that it can be hung. Then I just have to fit the loops around the rolling pin and it hangs nicely. Just love it!

Kindness Tray



Hi Friends!

Today I finished up this Act of Kindness piece into a tray top and it came out super cute!

I had this folk art tray for awhile now while I waited for the perfect piece. The dimensions on this pattern were perfect so I made some color changes that would match the painted design on the tray.


The stitched piece is mounted to the front of the tray and edged with some coordinating twist cord I made. Then I added a pink ribbon bow, a small, green ribbon now and finished it with a pink flower center. 

STITCHY DETAILS:

Pattern: Inspirational Boxer #B50 No Act of Kindness
Designer: Lizzie Kate
Colors Used: 926, 930, 3722, 3781, 3790, 3012, 434, 469, White

Beachy Keen!



Hello Friends!

Today I finished up this beachy wall hanging!  

The wood pallet is made of two slats attached in the back. The pallet was originally a dark brown, but I white-washed it to make it look more beachy. Even though it has a twine cord attached so that it can be hung on a wall, I think it would look just as cute as a shelf sitter.


The stitched piece was mounted to some aqua bubble fabric and then both were attached to the pallet. I used some white cording to edge the stitching to give it a pop of white. Then I added a twine bow with a double coverbutton center.
