Stitching on lots of things...

 Finish #5 for 2023.  Heart In Hand - Bluebird Sampler.  Used the suggested Chesapeake Bay floss on Colour and Cotton Spiced Honey, 28 count lugana, one over one..  

Finish #6 for 2023.  The freebie pattern from Hello from Liz Mathews website.  Stitched on just a scrap of white 28 count lugana, one over one, using Classic Colorworks Bandana floss.  

I tried adding more to this... Brick House Sampler - With Thy Needle and Thread. 

Not much got added, this is where it was when I picked it up again.

This is Violets & Verses - Mary Woodrow.   A new start.  Done on Dove Gray jobelan 28 count, one over one, using dmc 3799.

Another new start - Teresa Kogut - Nature, on 25 count white lugana, one over one, using the suggested floss colors.  So far, this one is a fun stitch.  

Another new start - Marjorie Massey - Quaker Street.  On PTP Gingerbread 28 count, one over one, using Anchor black.  I am one stitch wide on the right side....  I think.  I don't want to start over.  I'm not sure how much being off is gonna confuse me.  I'm not sure I'm thrilled with the results of this start, so there might be a restart on this.  But I just love the pattern.  Might just need a different color combination. 

Finish #4 for 2023

Sampler Cove - Sirin Jaidee.   Finish #4 for 2023.  Stitched on black lugana, 25 count, one over one.  Used the suggested dmc flosses. The one orange dmc, I finished with just a single length strand leftover.  That's crazy.  I know it looks like the feathers are not completed at the edges, but the edge loops are cut off to make the sides of the designs straight for framing.  The photo does not do the design justice.

This is where it was when I picked it back up this time.  Mostly just the two birds at the bottom and a couple of smaller things to fill in.  I'd like to stitch it again using the same fabric, and the suggested silk flosses.  But not right away.  But I did buy the floss and fabric to have in my stash.  The colors are actually slightly different for the silks.

Worked on Several Things...

 Renato Parolin - Rossi balocchi.  Finish #3 for 2023.  

Worked on Love Never Fails - Barbara Ana Designs.  

This is where it was when I picked it back up again.  Lots got added, but it got tossed back in the pile till next time.

Picked up On Prudence - Plum Street Samplers.  

This is where it was when I picked it back up again.  I am working the right side border, and it looks like it will line up, I'm just not quite there yet.
