Now, for Mason Jar Monday! This is just a cute little everyday arrangement that I have sitting on my sidetable. Hope you enjoy!
Rusty Mason Jar with Sweet Annie
Supplies:
*Mason Jar
*Mod Podge
*Cinnamon
*Clear Finishing Spray
*Paint or Foam Brush
*Piece of Grungy Homespun or Cheesecloth (just stain with tea or coffee)
*Bunch of Preserved Sweet Annie (you can purchase this on the internet from many suppliers)
Directions:
First, we need to "Rust" your Mason Jar. Do this by applying Mod Podge all over your Jar. Now Sprinkle with Cinnamon. Lightly tap off excess. Let dry for about a 1/2 hour. Spray Jar completely with Clear Finishing Spray. Let dry additional 15 minutes.
Take your Gathered Bunch of Sweet Annie, place inside of jar. Tie a piece of grungy Homespun or Cheesecloth around the neck. Now, enjoy the wonderful fragrance of your Sweet Annie in your Rusty Mason Jar!
Char,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you got your scanner figured out! I have this pattern addiction, especially when it comes to stitching so every Sunday I wake up and think, "OH! It's Stitchin the Day away Sunday at Char's blog...." and I rush to check it! LOL I haven't used your patterns yet but I have them saved and have some ideas rolling in my head for the 4 seasons of sheep. Thanks again for another wonderful doodle :)
Have a great day!

Char,
ReplyDeleteThat is just the cutest pattern! I can't wait to start it! Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us. I love all your stitcheries!
And the mason jar is just too cute too. I have a lot of mason jars here so I'll have to do that one.
Have a great day!
CONGRATULATIONS on Mercantile Gatherings!!! Can't wait to see your articles, I look so forward to receiving my magazine and would like to start selling them in my shop. Love your blog and all of your ideas. Dawn
ReplyDeleteGIrl, you know I am working on that pattern tonight!! It is adorable!! You are too creative!
ReplyDeleteI haven't figured out my scanner yet either. I would like to make a wooden pattern from the prim bunny that you gave me and maybe put a prim wooden egg on it, but I can't figure out which cord goes where.
Have a great day and thanks for your freebies! Kim
Wonderful as usual Char...saved it and on mine to-do list:)
ReplyDeleteLove that mason jar with sweet annie in it so simple and prim:)

Adorable stitchery pattern! And a great easy craft too.
ReplyDeleteYou never did answer about writing the book. You really need to! If you do, I'll buy it!
Oh, and I planned to buy the set of strainers at walmart this morning, to make a fly screen....but they were completely sold out of them! THey had lots of the ones with plastic rims. Apparently LOTS of people are using your idea! But I'm not surprised.
Have a great day!
Love it and thanks for the pattern--glad you got your scanner going again. Have a blessed day. Julie
ReplyDeleteUgh, scanners ! I gave up on mine! Actually threw it away! lol

ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I use one of your free pattern for the primitive stitchery SAL I'm running on my blog?
