I am so excited! I got a ton stitched this time. Things are starting to take shape although it’s still messy looking. It will be much more recognizable as gourds and onions next time.
Here is where I was last update:
And here is where I am now:

Welcome to my Blog! My world is my husband and son (soon to be moving into his own home) and my step-children (fully grown) and our two cats who are definitely ying and yang. My day job is as Deputy Clerk of my home town in Western, NY but when I get home I have two side gigs, one as a professional private baker, and two, as an Etsy shop owner selling vintage and antique dishes and accessories. I have been gardening and growing my own food since my grandfather taught me at the ripe old age of 5. I stitch, I bake, I grow food, I can and preserve, I grocery shop to save money and eat well and boy do I have massive to-do lists. I hope you enjoy my day to day writings.

Your gourds and onions truly are starting to look more like what they’re supposed to be now. That makes you want to keep working, to see more of the design appear, doesn’t it? Stitch on!

I love the way these are coming together! I always admire projects that are so detailed and use so many shades. I also love the way cross stitch projects are “secret” until they get filled out!
