Stitching Along

A new start and finish #13 for 2020.

Stanley from The Trilogy.

Stitched on Wheat luguna, 28 count, one over one, suggested fancy flosses, except one that is suggested dmc.   Added the snowflakes in the lower left, cause it had nothing, and felt the snowflakes were more balanced than a year and/or initials. 

Then the pair of them together...

Plum Street - Autumn Fraktur.
Spent the rest of the night working on the bird on the left.  It only had feet and the end of the tail, and the end of the tail was off, so the first thing was to frog, and then fill in lots more of it. 
It's on Doubloon lugana 28 count, one over one.  Gonna toss this back, and pull something else.

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.
