THE BIG WHITE WALL OF NOTHINGNESS GOT A LITTLE WINTER MAKEOVER (AND AUNT CHRISSY APPROVES!)***EDITED***

Please please please forgive the very dreary pictures today, my sweets. It is a gloomy day here in North Hoosierville, and despite my very best attempts to find the camera book that would tell me how to fix this issue, I cannot.

'Member this one? It's Snowflake Serenade from Country Cottage Needleworks. The mat is actually a lovely mossy green, and the frame is a nice warm barn wood, but alas, it looks rather muddled. (And crooked. Hmm. Just noticed that. Looks like I'll have to do some fixing today.)

I put Lizzie Kate's Winter Alphabet above that damn shelf that I don't really like anymore, but it's bolted to the big white wall of nothingness in such a way that I can't get it down! The long pieces above and below the shelf are from Bent Creek, the far left piece is Shepherd's Bush, and the bird is (I believe, anyway) Twisted Thread? ***Nope! It's from Heart in Hand! Thanks, Wendy! Woo Hoo!***This angle is looking toward the front of the house.
And this is looking toward the back of the house.
Progress continues very nicely on Dust of Snow. I finished two of the trees last night and am headed to the Happy Chair to finish the other two today!

Hope your skies are considerably brighter wherever you are! Woo Hoo!

  1. Awesome wall display, Coni... you did PERFECTO!!!! The finishes just make your pictures pop.

    And I have to tell you that your LizzieKate Winter Alphabet drove me to run right out and buy a complete set of my own. But I started with Summer (giving myself some time. lol)


    (The bird is from Heart in Hand)

  2. We share the dreary skies down here in southern Hoosierville, but your post, and the wall, brightened my day. It looks fantastic.
    I presume (a dangerous thing) that the pieces can be swapped out for the different seasons?

  7. What a great addition to a wonderful display!
    When i was looking at your pics i thought that shelf looks good there, why didn't i think of doing that on my wall of art? I suppose we get fed-up seeing the same things though.

    Dreary horrible skies here in the UK too :-(

  9. Great looking wall! I love how you arranged all your beautiful pieces. Why don't you just prop a framed piece on that shelf next time you rearrange?

  19. Just took another look....I wonder how that shelf would look silver-leafed? Or painted with gray chalky paint?
