I almost forgot.   I did my photos late last night and loaded them in this morning then the rest of the day got  away from me.

Here's  Do Different 3 weeks ago





I was bad and didn't do a good shot of everything.
Today's shot is of everything then each side.

Here goes:


This overall with books trying to keep the left side from curling over.
I worked on the third band of the saying, working on finishing the side
triangles on the left side (not finished though)
I did the side triangles on the lower right and the bottom right triangles.
I blocked off the area which will be stitched in black on
both the left and right sides (look in the middle)
Under the third band of writing I started a small area on the left
It will remind what color is also going in on the right side.

See the blank area in the middle of everything
(more or less)
It looks like a vase to me and I am debating with myself as if it should be 
the solid red or black stitching.
Please let me know what you think.

Now for a closer look at the sides.


Left side


Right side.

Don't expect huge amounts of stitching for the next three weeks.  
I have lots to do to prepare for the Christmas events in our life.
Shopping is not my thing
unless it involves stitching.

Don't forget the other stitchers at the top of the post.

Good Stitching to one and all!

 Where has the time gone?!   The last photo I took of Pandemic was in September.  yikes!



I am a lot further than this.  Another photo after the Thanksgiving holiday.
I'm taking the week-end off to stitch and relax.

 It's SAL time again and there is something to show!  It has helped tremendously to switch projects and the needle has been flying..  I don't think I even skipped a day of stitching.  It felt wonderful!

Here is the start point of the section I wanted to do first.



and now.
Do Different is making progress.


The last number (for the year will be left til the end.
I doubt that I can finish it in 2021 but then again
you never know.

Make sure you visit the other stitchers as well.
