Goodness it's been a little crazy around here lately! Between Physical Therapy twice a week, watching Miss Q once a week, snow days with hubby home, and trying to get gifts sorted and ordered, there isn't much time left for stitching. I did finally get another page finish of Let Freedom Ring. Only the top row and the 5 pages that includes to go! Unless the time space continuum opens up and gives me more time, I'm setting it aside until 2026. Goodness, it's getting close. I usually say things will slow down then, but I know better haha. Here is an updated picture.
When I decided to put it aside for a bit, I picked up the final ornament for the challenge I participate in. I still need to fully finish the ornament from last month, but until my head clears I'm just going to stitch the next suggestion. This one is Nordic Yuletide by Quaternion Creations from the 2024 JCS Ornament Issue. I'm stitching this one on 36 count Twilight two over two and love how it looks so far. I've decided I'm not going to stitch the whole thing, and will stop after I stitch the red bow. Not too much farther! Then I think I'll finish it as an oval. I will work those details out later. Hopefully by the next update I'll have fully finished this one and the one from November. Fingers crossed I get the time.
I have to say I had a frustrated long weekend. Hubby decided to stay home from work and we would go Christmas shopping. Well we got some significant snow for Maryland, so instead we set up our tree, decorated the mantel, wrote our Christmas newsletter, printed it out, addressed the Christmas cards AND THEN I was allowed to stitch...lol. Saturday led to more decorating and the start of the new ornament. Sunday was ordering pictures for a Christmas gift and then arranging and assembling the gift. That literally took most of the day and two trips to Walgreens to pick up the prints....haha. Today I'm off to the Physical Therapist. We will see how much stitching I get done today. Tomorrow hubby is home again so hopefully we can get our shopping done then...Wednesday I get my hair done, and Thursday is Physical Therapy, and Miss Q is here Friday. No rest for the wicked, they say....I must have been really bad somewhere along the way! LOL
Ok I'm off to get my ankle twisted into knots then massaged. Sounds heavenly doesn't it? haha NOT! I will say I'm getting pretty good a toe yoga! But picking up marbles with my toes isn't going too well. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Happy Stitching!

The newly started ornament looks awesome, DJ. Let Freedom Ring is looking great. Hope PT goes well today! We woke up to a surprise snow this morning.
When I broke my foot a few years back part of my physical therapy was picking up marbles with toes as well. It get's easier, but really hurt in the beginning. After not using the foot, all those small tendons and ligaments get stiff andhard to move. Keep it up. Sorry you're not getting as much stitching done as you would like. We do less each year at Christmas. Though I did get my decorating done earlier than normal this year.

Wow, that's some awesome progress on Let Freedom Ring! I think you could give it a bit of a time out and still be finished way before Independence Day🙂 I'm down to stitching only an hour a day, been busy too. Hope you get some stitching time this weekend!🤞🏼🤞🏼
Really beautiful. I wish you good health and happiness. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada 😊 ❤️ 🇨🇦
