10 pages and 7 skeins completed

Long Dog Samplers - Pandemic.  Finished the 7th skein of dmc 35.  Now have 10 random pages completed.  I did continue a few more threads to see if the motif would meet the top border properly.  It did.  Hooray. 

In January I must have needed a new start.  I had gotten the booklet Sisters from Blackbird Designs.  I had enough to start - Peace and Plenty.   I was missing a fancy floss.  I had a list of a few projects where I just needed one or two, and recently I have tried to fill in the flosses.  This got pulled out to put the floss away, I honestly did not remember starting it.  But it had multiple colors - for me right now - that was enough for me to play with it.  So it looked like the photo above when I picked it back up... and it looks like the photo below now when I shoved it back into the pile of started things.

Progress Continues

2020 - Finish #5
Blackbird Designs - Their Song.
Fancy floss, on a white jobelan 28 count.  Changed a few things.  The bird at the top got fixed.  I made the words - blackbirds and cherries - the entire word the color, not just a few letters as suggested.  Left off the initials and year suggested.  
This is Peace and Plenty - a new start from Blackbird Designs - Sisters booklet.
Fancy floss on ivory 28 count jobelan.  Part of the stuff I bought at the LNS closeout. 
Just tossed into the mix - something new, something not too big.  If I wanted to give up, or switch to something else, I would put a few threads in this as a moment of break.
Picked this back up - Needle Small with Magic Pow'r - Dutch Treat Designs.
This might take more than one round of adding to it again.  I changed the word - pow'r to power, in the text.  But it will be tight.
