This is SAL reporting day and I have no photos.  I have emailed myself my photos 4 time today and none have shown up.  I have no idea what is going on.

the big decision has been made.  I am going to go back to Pandemic.  I really want to finish it this year and I when I do have stitching time, I find myself going to it.

I admit I have had almost no stitching t time since mid-JUne.  I took on the "head of a chapter of a lineage society.  THe state admin are newish and the nationals just changed at the end of June which meant everything got rewritten.  Far more to read and learn that I expected.  Things are starting to even out but I feel better once the first meeting (late Sept) is over and the first one is in the past.

Here's some history

.

Her husband was kind enough to think of the stitchers who followed her blog to notify us via the blog.

Bermuda Reef

 Bermuda Reef is a canvas class I am taking from Kathy Rees.  As usual, I love the piece (as I do most of Kathy's pieces, especially the classes).

Here is my progress so far:

As usual (and not intentionally) 

I just kept on going after the first lesson

the top medium triangle was the first lesson.

I really like how it is coming along.

Usually I don't pay much attention to my backs

but I thought that this looked pretty good.

Sorry for all the shadows showing up.

In the non-stitching area of life

My trip to Washington DC was great.

though I nearly froze to death.

I had accidently packed a pair of warm tight instead of stockings

I was so glad.  Though I didn't take any really casual shoes

I took a pair of winter socks which I ended up wearing to bed.

I was really tired by the end of the week and glad to be back home again.

I still need a vacation

the kind without any work.

 

SAL TIme

 Well, having finished DO Different, I have been thinking about two other patterns and simply can't decide.  So please chime in with your comments.

First Photo up is my Laurel Burch Painter Canvas - CATS

I do have parts of the cats done.  The one to the far left has not been started.

  The others have all been started but no one cat has been finished.

The Second Choice is Pandemic by Long Dog Samplers

As you can see, this one needs a long of work as well as the Cats.

What would you like to see more of?

Meanwhile check out the other stitchers.

And now to decide on a new project.
