A Slow Stitched Farm Scene

 

Hello everyone, I hope this finds you are enjoying pleasant spring weather.

I once again have started another stitching project.  This is a crewel kit with yarn for the stitching. It is from 1981 and I found it a while back in a "junk box" at one of my favorite junk stores. I paid only a dollar for it because it had terrible water stains on the fabric piece. 

I first was able to remove some staining with washing, and then decided to watercolor paint the background to help the stain look less noticeable.

Instead of using the yarn, ........I do not like yarn for stitching..........

I chose embroidery floss and plan to use different embroidery techniques 

to embroider and add to the farm scene

The latest stitching I have done is to add daisies along side of the bran. 

I consider this piece as another slow stitch piece, deciding on what to add to it

as I move along.  

So tell me, what have you been keeping your hand busy doing?

I would love to hear!
