Several years ago I started a new project and didn’t finish it. 
I recently picked it back up and wanted to share where I am now and will share the finished project in a couple of months if all goes well.
It’ll take some time but I love the look of the linen fabric and the colors just pop with that background. When finished I’m hoping to put it in a barnwood frame made by hubby.
I'm a country girl from the western part of Virginia in a small community of New Castle/Craig County. I've lived in Craig all my life-eighteen years with my parents and siblings and forty + years with my wonderful husband.
We have two children, a boy and a girl, and two grandchildren, all of which we love very much. We live on a 500 acre+ farm that has been in my husbands family for over 200 years. We are raising beef cattle, chickens, rabbits and a couple dogs.. We grow pretty much all we eat or harvest from the farm and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I love to create, craft, quilt, read, write, decorate, crochet, candlewick, bake, bow hunt, cook, garden, farm animals and walking/hunting in the woods. I love sharing our home with family and friends.
I hope you enjoy the posts that I enter on my blog and hopefully will be helpful and/or fun to all that read it.
The Art of Living
This site is about my life as a farmgirl, wife, mother and grandmother and the things I love to do. I've been married to the same man that I love for 40+ years. We have two beautiful adult children and one granddaughter. We pretty much live off of our farm by raising our food or hunting for it. My blog is a day to day walk-through of our life.

Beautiful! I haven’t done cross stitch in quite a few years. I enjoyed watching the picture slowly appear as I worked.

As do I and love hanging them on the walls of my house. I rotate old out and bring in new and sometime later reverse. Looks new everytime.

Thank you! I think it’ll look great in the family room if I can just stay with it and finish it!
