Fish and Christmas ???

Prairie Schooler continued for a while.
There was something else for a few days, but not worth showing.

Then I went back to a previous start - Prairie Schooler - Christmas Village.
Playing on the right side this round. All I had was the lower right tree on the right side.
The border and the left side little bit and that one right hand tree was round one.
Honestly, it all looks like it should just go so quickly.  And it doesn't.
This one is 6 x 7 3/4 inches - border to border.  Smaller than a sheet of paper.
And it's obvious that I get bored before I get a whole building done.

A Finish - Progress - New Starts

An old kit, but new to me.  Little House Needleworks - Giving Thanks ( w/ threads ).
Stitched on a scrap of 28 count evenweave jobelan.
A start and a finish.  Finish #13 for 2019.

 Above is where I was when I picked back up - Love Never Fails.
Worked on it just a bit, finished the heart, a bit on the man, a bit on the back ground of the diamonds under his feet.  Below is after and where is stands now.

 I picked up some older charts including an older Prairie Schooler.
The patterns all wanted the same fabric, and so I decided to start four patterns, all Prairie Schoolers from two charts.  So if I get bored, I just turn the fabric and flip the page to the other pattern.  It is just something weird or fun to try.  They are each postcard or half sheet of paper size when finished.  This is just a few days on it so far, and a little bit started on each pattern.  Two are right side up, two are sideways cause that is the way they fit to use the fabric with less waste.  So far, kinda fun.
Christmas Tree Farm, Picnic Area, All You Can Eat, Better A Small Fish.

Seeing Double

With Thy Needle and Thread - House of Blues & Browns Sampler.
Finished them both.  Finish #11 and #12 for 2019.
Not real accurate with the camera flash, but it really shows that on the right side example, the lightest color is very hard to see in the berries and border. 
It's not ever gonna be my favorite, but I did finish the original start, and even try it again on a white fabric, and managed to finish that one too.

Round One, and Let's Try That Again.

With Thy Needle and Thread - CS82 House of Blues & Browns Sampler.
I started this on a fabric from my stash, but it calls for 'cream'.  No clue why I picked the fabric from my stash that I did.  Maybe I felt the cream houses would disappear into a cream fabric.
And by the way, my Apple Cider and Heirloom Gold - might as well be the same dyelot.  The birds and the house roofs are supposed to be different.  They are, but only barely.
So picking this back up - I hated the fact that the border and the berries basically disappear.  It's only about 4 inches square - 101 x 101 stitched, and I had enough floss - so let me just grab a scrap of 28 count evenweave in white - let's see how different the same pattern with the same recommended flosses, feels on a much lighter or different fabric.  I am trying to finish the original start - I just have the right side row of border stitches to go, then it will be complete. 
Seemed like it might be an easy finish of something that I had started - and now I have two not quite finished instead of just one.  But I do like it on the white fabric - it all pops nicely.  
Below is the photo from where I picked it back up again. 

Slow Progress...

Slow progress on Quaker Christmas II - Songs of the Season from ByGone Stitches.

The color in the below / before photo is accurate.  I went with Christmas in July, but it's August, time to move to something else.
