The Flower Fields!

50 acres of extraordinary color that resides in the hillsides looking over the Pacific Ocean. They say that you can see the fields while driving on the freeway…doesn’t happen.

The acres of the giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers at The Flower Fields cascade down the hillside in a spectacular display of color that is sure to take your breath away. Visitors will be stunned at the fields of color overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

These ranunculus are absolutely beautiful! and the Flower Fields draw hundreds of visitors every year. I always say I am going, but I just don’t get there. I really do have another month yet as it runs through Mother’s Day. Maybe Easter Sunday…maybe this year for sure.

Maybe these ranunculus can inspire me to come up some great stitches for this canvas by Maggie…”Poppies and Lavender” I pulled some threads for this canvas a few weeks ago, is on stretcher bars and is lined up to be stitched sooner than later.

AlleyCat is waiting to lick the dish from my morning eggs. You can see that her tummy is slowly growing in. She is not pleased with me since we went to the vets yet again this morning, so I am kinda letting her have her way more than usual.

I really need to devote all of my free time to my stitching and stitch guides right now, magazine work and so much more, so I am going to take a few or more days away from the blog. I hope you won’t miss us too much!

and until next time…keep on stitching

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. Love this blog post because when I lived in San Diego we visited the flower fields every year. In fact, the year I moved back East, the last thing we did was go up to the flower fields. I still collect ranunculus things – motifs, paintings, photos. Great pics on your blog!

  2. I don’t think I’ll get to see the Field of Flowers this year, but will put it on my list for next spring. Also love the canvas, can’t wait to see what you do with it.

  4. Hi Vicky. I am hoping you will get back to your Russian Santa soon! I loved your ideas, but need more! 🙂
