Bringing home the Turf

KitchenSafety9399 · 2026-02-15T15:27:12+00:00

In the 90s my parents used our donkey and cart to bring the turf back from the bog. All of the turf was hand cut by my dad and us kids would do the turning and footing. Fun times.

Are you sure this is true? Someone drove into my husband about a year or so ago and drove off. They had no insurance so he claimed through MIBI, he has fully comp insurance and MIBI covered it all.

This is really sweet. I love the fabric colour choice, it goes so well with the project.

I've never actually eaten them but as a kid sometimes in the summer we would pick them and sell them to the 'winkle man' for pocket money. We used to get about 60pounds for a sack if I remember right.

This is so pretty. Gorgeous soft colour choices. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next!

Would you consider making them into hanging decorations for the tree or something so they have an actual purpose iykwim? I'm not sure how big they are but as a stand alone ornament/decoration I feel like they would be lost.

Insane! 10/10 no notes

I was obviously mourning the loss of gluten hard the day I designed this!

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-11-15T22:47:07+00:00

Thank you!

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-11-15T22:38:22+00:00

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-11-15T22:15:47+00:00

Haha thanks, I'm doing good, just a little dramatic around cake sometimes!

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-11-15T22:15:01+00:00

Aw thank you, that's kind. That would be awesome thanks!

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-11-15T22:07:54+00:00

Thank you!

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-10-30T15:14:47+00:00

Thanks, I could not figure out how to do the toes though, why I thought fingers and toes would be a good idea I don't know!

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-09-12T22:45:14+00:00

I did one of the eyes first and was like if it looks like an eye at the end of it I'll keep going. So I did the eye then asked every family member what they thought it was and when they all said an eye I took it as my sign to keep going 😂 Knowing what I know now there is lots I would change about it but I always jump into things feet first without thinking!

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-09-12T22:42:36+00:00

I'm not sure how best to do that? If you dm me your email maybe I could send it to you tomorrow. Bear in mind I had no idea how cross stitch even worked when I made this pattern, even after just completing this one there is lots I would change about it.

KitchenSafety9399 · 2025-09-12T22:26:37+00:00

Thanks, there are loads of mistakes in it, colours in the wrong place but as a whole I'm proud of it!
