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! ๐Ÿค 

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. ๐Ÿค—

  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

  7. Farm 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!

  9. That'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?

  10. What lovely x-stitch piece you are working on, Melisa;))) I love the idea of a blue pond...
    Only 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 ;)))
