Stitch from Stash - February Update

In February I made some progress of my oldest WIPs

"Summer Sun" from "Stitcher's World" January 2006 is my oldest WIP.

Here is where I started -

And here is where I ended up -

I pretty much hate working on black fabric, I did a bunch of flowers on black fabric years ago and more than had my fill of working with it.  Sometimes I wonder why I even picked this up, ha ha.  Also, in progress the face is a bit creepy, it is looking less creepy as I go though.  I will be happy when this is complete!  I have had my fill of working on this one for awhile.

This one is probably my next oldest WIP "Fall Trees" from "Cross-Stitch & Needlework" November 2010.

I started with the mostly filled in bar on the top and filled in everything below.

This was my new start of the month Lizzie Kate's April Flip-It, Blocks with Charm.  I finished all the stitching just need to add the charm and put it in the frame.

My stash addition was a new Lizzie Kate flip it.  I came in the month at $4.04.  Ironically I misplaced it so I can not share a photo at the moment.
