Pick it up, Put it back...

A Bird's Eye View - Kathy Barrick.
Finish #14 for 2020.  
On an MCG 28 count evenweave - dmc flosses. 
Below is what it looked like when I picked it back up again.  It's not very big.  It will never be my favorite, but I did finish it.  And I do like it more now that it's done.  

It got quite a ways before it was tossing into the started stuff pile.  It only took two days to finish it.

 I knew what I wanted to stitch from the pile, but I couldn't find it.  Eventually Olga from Plum Street got started last night - fancy flosses, on Colour and Cotton Spellbook 28 count.  But I was still wanting to stitch on that other design I couldn't find...

 First I had pulled Christmas is Coming back out from the started pile before starting Olga...
I finished the border, thought I can power my way down from the top filling in the missing parts...
Did the holly, added the missing words - Christmas - the - and flowers - and started the fence and house area  - and felt like, nope.  Still wanted that missing already started thing...

So I went on at fourth look to finally find what I wanted to try to finish next... 
Long Dog Samplers - The Token.  And I found it - and here is where it is when I am picking it back up.

Let's Try a Bird...

Okay, a new start on something else. 
A Bird's Eye View - Kathy Barrick.
On 28 count white evenweave - using called for dmc floss.  One over one.
From my stash.  I got it when it first came out, then I somehow decided I didn't really care for it all that much.  But at some point, you either decide you bought the stuff, and you should just stitch it, or you decide - crap, a waste of money.  I decided to see if I would just enjoy stitching it.  It is different from the other things I have been stitching lately.  The bird just needs that yellow section filled in.  There are three buildings around the bird - one of which is started in this photo.  It's has been okay to stitch.  I do not hate stitching it.  It will never be my favorite.  I added the photo below with the skein of floss on it - just to show the scale of what I have completed so far against something that we all know the size of.  Just so we all get to say - oh, that's tiny.  Much smaller than it looks like in the top photo.
