Couple of Easy Finishes for 2024

How to Live - Works by ABC.  Finish #2 for 2024.  Started and finished in 2024.  On antique white 28 count jobelan, one over one, using mostly the fancy flosses suggested. 

Boo Sampler - Lizzie Kate.  Finish #3 for 2024.  Again, a start and finish in 2024.  Used the suggested flosses mostly, used the fabric since it was a kit.  The fabric is a lilac or light purple.  Two over two.  Changed the bottom to say October since the other just means nothing to me, and I don't think I have another in the series.  

The Ark - La-D-Da.  Another start to be a quick finish hopefully.  On Queen Anne's Lace jobelan, 28 count, one over one, dmc flosses. 

Still cold here.  -14 was the high for yesterday.  Frostbite is 10-15 minutes.  So shoveling is not anything I really want to fool with.  Tomorrow might get to 30, above zero...  Tomorrow will be the day to dig out.  Then it gets cold again, for another week?  Then it warms up for a quick minute again.  I could not imagine trying to get to treatments like I did last year during this nonsense.  You get to a point you can barely walk in from the parking lot.  Imagine that, and temps at -14, and just praying your car starts after treatments.  Radiation people go everyday...  again, we got some crazy snow.  Roads blow shut every night.  City kids are back to school, county kids aren't.  Imagine leaving your child, small child out in the cold to wait for the school bus to show up.  Craziness.

Finished Two More... 15 and 16 for 2022

Band Sampler - Historical Sampler Company.  Finish #15 for 2022.  Done on a white evenweave 28 count something, one over one, using the suggested dmc flosses.  Not my usual stitch, not my favorite color combination, but that was kind of the point.  Do something that is not your usual stitch. 

This is where it was when I picked it back up again.  Last worked on it December 2021, so a finish a year later, it's lovely to have it done. 

La D Da - Marion the Librarian.  Finish #16 for 2022.  Done on Colour and Cotton 32 count Yellow Cake jobelan, one over one.  The fabric is much more yellow.  Used dmc floss, switched the red to a darker cherry red.   My camera isn't very accurate at photos and details on something this size.

Just a photo to show the scale and that the finished thing is crazy small.  It finished at 2 by 3.5 inches, with a stitch count of 61 x 126.  Last worked on it April 2020.  This maybe shows the fabric is more yellow.  It also shows where it was when I picked it back up again.

Didn't grab either of these for a reason, just grabbing random from the already started stuff.  But the pile is huge, so getting things that were close to done is just random.
