Finally making progress!

Well here we are...and things are finally looking up!  The sun is shining today, the government is up and running again, and I feel like I might get some things accomplished today!  I had my youngest granddaughter here yesterday, she just cracks me up.  I had some music playing and she was dancing along to it, she has been doing some things on her own now to keep herself occupied but turns every few seconds to make sure I'm watching, and she is a joy to spend time with.  I'll have my hands full when she finally takes off walking on her own.  

I didn't get a lot of time to stitch yesterday, but I did make some progress after her parents took her home.  I worked on Hummingbird's Garden while we watched TV last night.  I worked on the vase at the bottom.  It's coming along nicely!  

Monday and Tuesday I was able to make some substantial progress on Let Freedom Ring.  I had another page finish and actually put a lot of stitches in the next page too.  I'm hoping to have two pages done by the end of this month.  More than I expected!  Whew!  I was beginning to lose hope I would finish this in time!  I did change some of the words.  Where it was supposed to say "Let Freedom Ring" I changed to America's Semiquincentennial 2026.  I like how it looks!  Edited to say....ooops I just realized I spelled semiquincentennial wrong.  Oh dear!!  I'll have to fix that.  UGH all that over one.  *heavy sigh*.  Oh well, onwards and upwards I always say...

Has anyone else made plans for stitching to the Olympics?  I know it starts tomorrow, and I did make a list of things I hope to stitch for each event.  Maybe tomorrow I'll have time to post what I'll be doing.  For today I'll be working on Hummingbird's Garden again and have chosen a few days during the Olympics to stitch both Hummingbird's Garden and Let Freedom Ring.  I also have a few other things I'm hoping to stitch.  After the chaos of last month, I'm happy to be making any kind of progress....haha.  I especially hope to finish Hummingbird's Garden.  

Ok, I'm off to get my day started.  I slept in quite late this morning so I'll need to get my skates on if I hope to get my regular routine going.  I hope everyone has a great day!  Happy Stitching!
