Farm Fresh Milk New Stencil Design

Would you think I’m a grouch if I said I’ll be a bit relieved when Christmas is over and things get back to normal (or as normal as things ever get in my house)?

I love Christmas.  I really and truly do.

I’ve tried to wish every bell ringer and cashier I see a “Merry Christmas,” I baked (and ate) a ton of chocolate kiss cookies rolled in sugar sprinkles, I put fresh evergreens in every nook and cranny in my house, and I even made a glowing mason jar Christmas tote.

But, if I redecorate the tree one more time, because my daughter’s cat has torn it apart again … I’m going to lose my mind.

Seriously.

So after yelling “BAD CAT” for the twentieth time, I decided I needed to do something that has nothing to do with Christmas and is cheaper than therapy.

I designed a new Farm Fresh Milk stencil design to add to my Vintage Sign Stencils line, and then I stenciled with it to my heart’s content.

I made three different projects – a canvas tote bag, a farmhouse pillow, and a burlap place mat.

Here’s what  I used: (includes some affiliate links)

First up, I stenciled a canvas tote bag. I’ll be making more for myself so I can get rid of the ugly reusable shopping bags I’ve been using.

Then I made a pillow cover.

And because I hadn’t forgiven our cat yet …

… I stenciled some burlap place mats. 🙂

By the time I was finished, my Christmas “peace and goodwill to all” was back … even to our naughty kitty.

I have another project I didn’t get photographed yet using the Farm Fresh Milk stencil, so I’ll be sharing it after Christmas.

Mix and match my entire line of farmhouse stencils.  See them all HERE.
