SAL-Girl in Lavendar Field 8

Happy Sunday to everyone! It’s time for our three week update! I got a ton stitched on my girl since last time!

Here’s the before:

And here’s the after.

This piece is definitely looking like a lavendar field now. My eyes have taken a beating on this one, much like the poppy field I did years ago.

That’s it for me this update. Time to blog hop the other stitchers in our group!

Christina is taking a break from the group but we hope she is back soon.

Thank you, Avis, for organizing this Stitch-a-Long. Please visit the other blogs to see what other fabulous stitchy projects they are stitching. We are all working on different pieces!

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.

  1. That is so gorgeous Mary Margaret! Definitely worth the effort. 🙂 My lavender plant is actually blooming. I planted seeds that took over a month to germinate, and then we planted it out in a raised bed this year, and it has expanded nicely. I was happily surprised to see the one flower stalk last week!

  2. This is a gorgeous cross-stitch. I can just imagine the color changes that strain the eyes. Well worth it in the end though.

  3. The lavender field is gorgeous. Your project is so stunning and I love watching it evolve. Eye strain is our curse with cross stitch. I was thinking of getting the highest value in cheaters and see if that would help 🙂
