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.

 It's Sal time and time for good news (I hope).

I have decided that enough was enough for the stained glass window.  It has not been touched in 6 weeks and was starting to effect my urge to stitch in general.  So it is retiring for awhile.  

I reread the prupose of the group and went thru my WIPs and studied them and decided what had the stongest pull.

It's called Do Different by Long Dog Samplers.  Here's the cover shot

Here is where I am and then a close up of where I wil start stitching later tonight.

Sorry that I didn't iron them ahead of photos.

you can see where I pull the needle out of the for the photo.

I promise progress for the next post.

 I can't believe that it is October all ready and I have said a word for awhile.  I admit to being super busy with genealogy and watching grandkids.  Stitching has been for later at night.

Here is one of the current projects.

This is Canterbury Santa

by Mill Hill

the scroll (upper right) will go in the extended hand

the holly (bottom right) will go on his hat.

Still have lots of beads to go as well as a beard

More to come.

SAL time again

 Yes it is that time again.  I can't believe I haen't posted anything since there either.  Partly because of too much to do and never enough time.  I admit to trying to get things done that are out of the house before we get shut down for COVID again.  But enough, you came to see progress pictures and I actually have them.

The whole piece overall

Just the top.

Just a few more stitches to finish before the whole top is done.

I have the threads but I was too tired and bug-eyed to finish

before posting.

Be sure to check out everyone else!

 SAL time.

I admit that this piece is not holding my interest very well.  I am still trying to plug along.  I got more of hte black perle cotton then realized as well I was about to run out of the "purple" perle otton for the top.  I haven't found it so far.  Here's the latest photo.

Check out everyone else please.
