More Rain and a Finish

We got more rain Saturday afternoon. It was quick, but it did poar pretty hard. 

Then I was watching Flosstube, and saw this cutest display piece that Christi at Javagirlstitches made. It is adorable!! I had to make one. Actually I made 2.

It was all made with Dollar Tree items. To do the crackling effect on the paint, I used the glue method. And to rust up the roof, it was just brown paint, sprinkled cinnamon. I then sprayed a light coat of sealer so the cinnamon stays in place. 

To finish up the weekend, I got a cute little patriotic piece done. Let Freedom Ring by October House Fiber Arts. You can find the design in the Summer Edition of Just CrossStitch.

Well that's all for now. Have a blessed week.
