A Start to January's Embroidery Kit

      

      I'm finally getting started on my monthly embroidery kits and since I'm totally OCD about things I started with January!  I wanted to be farther along on these by now but having three kids, a husband and trying to keep my business things in order hasn't left much time to sit and stitch.  But I wanted to share how the process is going.  Stay tuned for the rest of the months!  I'm so excited to share a few of these months because they are soooooo flippin' CUTE!


Ready for stitching!

A quick bath gets the water-soluble ink off.

Backing fabric added and trimmed and snipped in 1/2 in sections.

I hot glue the fabric to the inside of the hoop to secure it in place.

AND DONE!!  I love the way this snowflake looks against the dark fabric.  You will be able to find these DIY Embroidery kits in my Etsy shop very soon.  Visit www.etsy.com/shop/emmajanesporch

Happy Fall Y'all!

Happy 1st day of Fall!!   Cooler nights, pumpkin spice lattes and bonfires mean the season is changing!   So... today I decided to get my formal Living Family Room ready for fall.  If you haven't noticed, I really like redecorating my rooms!  This process has a way of making me "fall" in love with all of my knick-knacks again :)  Plus it's a great excuse to add a few new pieces to my seasonal collections.   I got started by emptying all of the shelves to create my blank slate.  I put all of my decor on the floor so I could see what I was working with.   Here is how I got started: Then I just followed the steps from my previous post to add my decorations back onto the shelves.  You can find those steps here . And voila... So it took me about an hour to get this look and that included doing a little dusting!  You can totally do this!   I also whipped up this adorable Harvest ...
