~My Boxwood Wreath and Quilt

Hello everyone, things are still the same weather wise since I last posted, now we are due some more starting tomorrow and into Wednesday…I told DH I feel like I live inside a snow globe.LOL

I loved the boxwood wreaths that Backwoods Country Primitives had for sale so I ordered the larger one and I love it I hung it in my kitchen window and it looks so real that you have to reach out and touch it just to see:) With all the snow outside I needed something fresh and green to look at and remind me that spring is just around the corner:)

Here it is at night!

I took the tin pineapple hook from my bathroom and got Stush to hang it on the side of my kitchen cabinet, he had to do it because you can’t even pound a nail in that oak.:) I hung a black homespun towel and a faux herb from it.100_2405

I got an idea from Bonnie over at the APP forum…she had bought tension rods and hung her curtains from inside the window, I loved the look so I decided to try it and it made mine look alot better. I also did it to my kitchen window too:) thanks Bonnie for the idea!

Here is the quilt that I used two bottles of tan Rit dye on, it is alot darker than what the picture shows and I really like it and glad I did it. One lady commented that when she used the tan dye it turned out peachy looking. The only thing I made sure to do was to have the quilt soaking wet before I put it in the washer with the dye and it came out great♥ I’m not done with the room yet so I’ll show pictures when I’ve completed a few things in there.

I didn’t have to work the day after the snow storm so that was good…even Walmart closed there wasn’t any power!

Well, the shower is calling me:)

Take care and stay warm where ever you are♥

  2. Hi Rondell Sweetie...
    I love the boxwood wreath, so beautiful. I also just adore those curtains hung with the springrod. I have all of mine in the sunroom hung that way. Fits snug to the glass and works so much better.

    Your quilt is just gorgeous. I so love it. Thank you so much for sharing it with me tonight.

    I love the fact that you live in a snow globe. That is just precious sweetie. Thanks for sharing. Have a beautiful day tomorrow.

    Country hugs and so much love..>Sherry

  14. Before I get typing an forget I just want to say I LOVE HOW THE QUILT TURNED OUT....I'd of been so scared to try it! I love it.

    How cute is that wreath! I have tension rods in all my windows on the inside - makes for a nice look I think.

    We're getting snow here right now...started last night around midnight so it's on its way to you kiddo!

  16. The wreath looks great especially with the light.

    I have always wanted to try RIT dye but too afraid. LOL. I do need to though as I have a couple little quilts I could do it to.

    Yep I like the curatins on the inside to.

  22. Rondell,
    Love how your quilt turned out!! Also love the wreath and your curtains in the window!!
    We got the snowstorm too...got about 8 more inches today and it is going to be windy tomorrow, so they are thinking that we will get drifting of the snow to 4 or 5 feet. They are also talking about more snow for Sunday. Bummer!!
    Take care and stay warm,
