My design style has always tended towards bold motifs & rich color. I became fascinated with chalk art several years ago. I included bold graphics & lettering in my timeless monthly Chalk series 'A Year in Chalk'.

More Chalk cross stitch has followed through a chalk art to chalk cross stitch collaboration with chalk artist Priscilla Blain - we have worked on several series to celebrate the seasons at Home & On the Farm.

This is a great think-out-side-the-box project for finishing. Many home decor stores have frames, stands & plaques that make a perfect display piece. Be sure to check out the tutorial on how to finish on a chalkboard style hanger.

No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all No stitchy posts this weekend- I get to be Mom all weekend. Billy just got home from an amazing trip out west where he got to white water raft, ride a gondola, hike in a national park (where they saw all kinds of wildlife), swim, go to a real rodeo, go on an alpine rail, make new friends and so much more. 

I missed him so much (even though he doesn’t live with us every day…yep, the mom in me knew he was far away 😊) - we are so thankful to the Let’s Go West team for planning & documenting this trip. He’s staying on with us a few more days …I was even excited to do his laundry!?!?🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

It's World Emoji Day!! 🌼🤷🏼‍♀️🍅🪡😉❤️ 

Did you know that when I released Well Hello There - we called those adorable buttons that grace each stitch every month 'button-moji's'?? 

Button-moji packs are still available from my dear friends @justanotherbuttoncompany - I don't know that button-moji ever caught on as a word but they sure look cute

A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started A little 'down-time' between HOD models, I started Harvest Lilies from my good friend Tracy @inkcircles.xs - I switched up the linen for 32ct Rosewood @fabrics.by.steph & called for threads with Sulky 12wt. I do have a yellow pulled for the negative space that looks kinda quilty. I'm thinking about leaving it like it is...what do you think?
