Two WIP's & a 'small' new start!!!!!

ok, if you have peeked at the pictures BEFORE reading this, you see my new start is not so small after all!!!! It is actually 250w by 252 high. I decided to use fabric I had on hand for this. I was hoping I had a piece of 18 ct. big enough, but I didn't. So, I am using 14 ct. & so far, so good.
I am curious!!!! I would love to hear your guesses.......I kept track of how many colors were used in the first 10 by 10 square. Does anyone want to take a guess at how many they think?!?! this is just for fun!
The pattern is called Spring Robins, but to me, they do not look like robins, but more like baby bluebirds, & THAT is what drew me to the pattern.
You see, I have a story about baby bluebirds. While we were building our home, we had several nests of bluebirds in our backyard. The poor babies thou.....I guess they couldn't see our new windows & they kept running into them or even better for picture taking, landing on our screens. Of course, my husband wasn't too happy about little holes in our new screens before we even moved in, but he realized it was the baby birds doing it!
Next, you see I worked more on the Waxing Moon January piece. I am still loving each X of this one...I took it with me to the library this morning. It will be what I work on for a few days now.
Lastly, I am still working on the LK Summer Alphabet too...Three rows left to stitch.
We woke up to snow again on Sat. morning. I think this was the 3rd Sat. in a row. The cardinals seem to love the snow...or the sunflower seeds that I put out when it snows!!!
have a great week everyone & thanks for stopping by...
