I love NY!

My husband and I are both from Upstate New York, and we wanted to have something to remember it by, so I painted this sign. They are sold at Wal*Mart for $5 (but NY only sells NY state cut-outs, etc). 

Not geographically accurate, so don't drill me on it. I fudged it a little. 

Country Stitchery

If you love Country Designs, you'll love making your own signs! With the help of You tube and their tutorials, anyone can learn some simple stitches to make these cute designs and more. The frames are plain wooden ones from the Dollar Store that I paint with cheap acrylics. 

This one I made for my Mother-in-Law, and I plan to replicate because I love it so much!

I got this design idea off of Pinterest, but modified the colors and layout.

I made this as a gift for my Aunt.
