Two finishes for 2023...

 First finish for 2023.  Prairie Schooler - Picnic Area.  

Second finish for 2023.  Houx by Renato Parolin.  One over one, using dmc floss.  

Renato Parolin - Rossi balocchi.  This was started.  Below is where it was when I picked it back up again.  There is still all the backstitching to hang all the red balls, but I want to avoid snagging it in the hoop.  It is still actually a crazy long way to get to the top.

And How Many Leaves Are There???

This is where I picked it back up at...
Renato Parolin - Houx

This is after just a couple more days on it. 
My goal was to finish the bottom page.  And I sorta got there.  The leaves all have another green I need to add that goes between the fingers of each leaf.  And all the red things get a hanging thread yet.  I had done a bit of that leaf between stitching in the top photo - I know it's a pain, I do remember that.  Done with dmc floss.  No clue how many leaves there are.
