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.

Excerpts from a day in the life of Howling Duck Ranch.com weblog
This is the blog for our little farm in Skagit county. Here we raise Shetland sheep, Nigerian Dwarf goats, and Satin Angora rabbits. In addition we have donkeys, llamas, cattle, pigs, chickens, geese, ducks, peafowl and pheasants. The blog describes the weekly activities here.
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!
