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.

Fish and Christmas ???

Prairie Schooler continued for a while.
There was something else for a few days, but not worth showing.

Then I went back to a previous start - Prairie Schooler - Christmas Village.
Playing on the right side this round. All I had was the lower right tree on the right side.
The border and the left side little bit and that one right hand tree was round one.
Honestly, it all looks like it should just go so quickly.  And it doesn't.
This one is 6 x 7 3/4 inches - border to border.  Smaller than a sheet of paper.
And it's obvious that I get bored before I get a whole building done.

A Finish - Progress - New Starts

An old kit, but new to me.  Little House Needleworks - Giving Thanks ( w/ threads ).
Stitched on a scrap of 28 count evenweave jobelan.
A start and a finish.  Finish #13 for 2019.

 Above is where I was when I picked back up - Love Never Fails.
Worked on it just a bit, finished the heart, a bit on the man, a bit on the back ground of the diamonds under his feet.  Below is after and where is stands now.

 I picked up some older charts including an older Prairie Schooler.
The patterns all wanted the same fabric, and so I decided to start four patterns, all Prairie Schoolers from two charts.  So if I get bored, I just turn the fabric and flip the page to the other pattern.  It is just something weird or fun to try.  They are each postcard or half sheet of paper size when finished.  This is just a few days on it so far, and a little bit started on each pattern.  Two are right side up, two are sideways cause that is the way they fit to use the fabric with less waste.  So far, kinda fun.
Christmas Tree Farm, Picnic Area, All You Can Eat, Better A Small Fish.
