First a little catch-up.

1. About 10 days ago, my basement flooded.  Only about 4 inches before we got it under control but still there was damage.  I did learn that my cat carrier floats.  That was a bright spot.  I spent about 4 hours in the water trying to get needlework stuff to higher ground.  Thank heavens for the ironing board and a couple of craft tables.  However some still couldn't be saved.  My stitching bags went thru the washer and dryer and are actually still usable.  Yea, another bright spot.  I am still going thru everything (and will be for  awhile) to see what can be recovered.  IF it isn't dry now, it's too late.
Word of warning, don't keep charts in paper boxes, don't trust those individual plastic envelopes (water goes right inside), keep things up and off the floor.  Plastic bags don't keep the water out either.

I missed groundhog day so here it is:

Happy Birthday to my groundhog (my son).

( I did call him yesterday even if I forgot the blog)

And now the SAL 

Here's what I have been trying to finish and did, the day before the deadline.

This is for a contest within DAR.

First grouping of names are my direct ancestors

2nd grouping are relatives

lastly are my parents, my son and myself as the

 current generations of veterans.

This is a WIP that I dug out and decided I wanted done.

Progress as of 2-2-2019

Gobble has not gotten a lot of attention

Not too much further.  

He was a minor distraction to the big piece above

The Lady

(actual title)

Stitching the Standard

She has not been touched for awhile due to the other big piece having a due date. 

 I will be going back to her soon .  It's mostly piecemeal areas now.

So close.

and another SAL

the TUSAL

I never seem to remember if it the full moon, new moon or what so I decided this year,

 I would do it at the end of the month and post within a couple of days.
