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!
Awesome wall display, Coni... you did PERFECTO!!!! The finishes just make your pictures pop.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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)
We share the dreary skies down here in southern Hoosierville, but your post, and the wall, brightened my day. It looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI presume (a dangerous thing) that the pieces can be swapped out for the different seasons?
You got that framed in record time, and it looks great.
ReplyDeleteOh your wall is just perfect! My skies are dreary just like yours...blah.... Maybe a mani/pedi is in my near future! You should do the same!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely finish. Your big wall of nothingness is actually looking quite full of beautiful stitching!
ReplyDeleteI love dreary days! they are the perfect excuse for being in the Happy Chair all day.
prop a picture on the shelf you don't like or make a cute snowman/santa etc. standup to put on the shelf next to it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great addition to a wonderful display!
ReplyDeleteWhen 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 :-(
What a wonderful grouping of Winter themed finishes!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those pieces in my finished...but yet to be framed drawer... hmmm.
Congrats on your success!
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?
ReplyDeleteVery nicely displayed. And a great collection too!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, a lovely job!
ReplyDeleteSuch a nice collection. Love your Snowflake Serenade in the frame... makes me want to stitch this one.
ReplyDeletehappy stitching....

ReplyDeleteI love your winter wall! Do you change it out for all the seasons?
ReplyDeleteYour wall looks great.
ReplyDeleteI can see why Aunt Chrissy approves. It looks lovely! Thanks for sharing the pics of it. :D Cathryn
ReplyDeleteLove that piece and the wall looks perfect. Add a little greenery or a candle to that shelf. Will look nice.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful wall. I love the way you have it displayed.
ReplyDeleteThat is one great wall!!!
ReplyDeleteJust took another look....I wonder how that shelf would look silver-leafed? Or painted with gray chalky paint?
