Finish #12 in 2020

Plum Street Samplers - The Beekeeper
Finish #12 in 2020.
Used Colour and Cotton - Spellbook, 28 count jobelan. One over one.
Used suggested fancy flosses except the green, which is the suggested dmc.

Made a few small changes - like giving her smaller feet, making the bees more golden using the darker hive floss, rather than the lighter hive floss.  Cheated her out of a face by just leaving her more plain.  Parts of it are lovely, it was a chart that always caught my eye, but not quite what I expected when it was up close and personal.  But you never know, and it's kinda fun to see the result. 
This was a Black Friday purchase along with the finished chart from yesterday.

New Starts, A New Finish

A new year, new start, and finish.
The Trilogy - Beatrice.  It's about the size of a playing card.  Used the fancy flosses mostly, and on PTP Sand, one over one.  The kid in me has always liked the tongue twister series that Trilogy did, and so during that closeout sale, I got this one. 
My first 2020 finish. 
Plum Street Samplers - The Beekeeper.  My new year, new start.
A crap picture.  It's maybe the size of a postcard?  Fancy floss on Colour and Cotton - Spellbook.
I started this, stopped and did Beatrice, then went back and added more to this.  Always liked this pattern as a kit, but not my thing to buy kits.  They are almost always on a fabric I would never stitch on, which I understand.  And as just the pattern it was on the fence, to order or not...  On sale, it got ordered with another pattern that was a fence sitter that turned up in the same sale.  

I was able to give blood platelets yesterday.  The first time for 2020.
