Another skein of floss

Long Dog Samplers - Pandemic.
I have used 4 skeins of dmc to get this far.  It is dmc 35, one of the newer colors, but still just normal flosses.

Added another skein of floss

Pandemic - Long Dog Samplers.  Three skeins of DMC floss used at this point.  About three pages completed.  I am skipping some of the backstitching, some flowers, mostly because I'm not sure how much a hoop would pull at those motifs as I move the hoop to stitch other areas.  It's still just the bottom half of the entire pattern. I am just picking pages that I feel have parts I want to stitch, or more likely would be easy to stitch.
The Linen and Threads 2020 monthly SAL - for August.  I skipped a basket with a huge bird that was from July, I'm gonna replace it with something else.  But I can't really do that until the end, till I see what the other motifs are.

More Than Halfway

Courtney Collection - Mermaid's Folly.
Had 3/4 of a skein of dmc opened, so filled in the bottom partial pages to complete the bottom row. 
Then filled in the mermaid's body page to complete that, leaving me with 7 pages yet to go.
Below is what it looked like when I picked it back up again. 
It's dmc 310 on PTP Brash 28 count lugana, one over one. 
Not stitching every day.  Either I seem to stitch for hours or not at all.  It was nice to work on this again. The top photo is a bit more accurate for color if you are wondering.  Stupid camera.
