| "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. 🤗
Farm Life is really looking wonderful. Don't worry about the mystery flosses because I believe the colors you're using are working very well. Enjoy! Big Hugs! DarleneJ
ReplyDeleteQuestion: 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.
ReplyDeleteThe stitching is as always beautiful.
Hugs, Gabi
It looks amazing !! Enjoy your day !
ReplyDeleteLooking great! ☺️ Have a super day Melissa. 🤗🙋♀️xx Barbara @flashinscissors xx
ReplyDeleteA very cool project. Happy stitching this weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a productive day on the farm. The mystery colors look great. I also have a nice set of mystery colors LOL. Enjoy the day. Alicia
ReplyDeleteFarm Life is beautiful! Kids have what they call a hobby farm - I might consider stitching farm life for them - we'll see. Let us know how "the girls" like their new boyfriend. ;-) Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThis is looking fabulous, Melisa!
ReplyDeleteYour mystery flosses are stitching well into your piece. What a fun design!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThat's a cute cross stitch - good luck with that backhoe. ;) I saw some cross stitch patterns this morning, and they had so much resemblance to your style. We are all lucky to have access to your patterns for free, but you could sell them Melisa! Is Rodster gone?
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely x-stitch piece you are working on, Melisa;))) I love the idea of a blue pond...
ReplyDeleteOnly 19 degrees here this morning with a "feels like" temp of 11--brrrr...and slated to get even colder over the weekend with a cold front moving in...
hugs from under my first hand quilted quilt, Julierose ;)))
