Working on Farm Life

 Apples, pears and cherries all waiting to be harvested.   

"Farm Life is being stitched on 14 count tea/ coffee dyed Aida. 

Turnips and sweet peas! Oh, how delightful! 

The turnips and peas are ready to be harvested. 

Happy Happy Farm Friday, y'all.  

                              

It is a beautiful day to be working on a farmyard stitch and by golly , that is what I am going to do! 🤠

The veggies and fruits are plentiful on this stitched farm.


 However, I still have more to plant stitch like pumpkins, corn and carrots. But more pressing matters are at hand. I am  going to be driving a backhoe and digging out a crystal blue pond right there above the pears and cherries. Well at least that is my plan for today.

I will be adding the blue pond above the cherries today. 

 There are 2 wild and wacky geese or maybe they are ducks that are waiting to be stitched as well and they do need their pond. 

I am slowly but surely making progress on Little House Needlework's "Farm Life" as I sit at camp. I am using mystery flosses on this piece ( that means flosses that  have lost their labels. ) We shall see how the colors progress as time goes by. 

As Always...


Happy  Stitching and Quilting,

 y'all

Back at home, the gals are waiting anxiously for some new arrivals. It may be a couple of weeks but along with some heifers,  a new bull is coming to the farm . I hope he is as handsome as the Rodster was. 🤗

  2. Question: Who is cleaning, cooking, washing etc? You stitch, you quilt, you design, I need more than 24 h a day to do all that I want to. Lol.
    The stitching is as always beautiful.
    Hugs, Gabi
