Stitch the Winter Olympics: Tina and Milo



Welcome to Day 5!  Today we are supposed to stitch something with an animal.  I bounced between two ideas.  I hoped to stitch on Let Freedom Ring (which has a horse in it) and Hummingbird's Garden which has a hummingbird in it.  So...I compromised!  I spent time frogging the incorrect spelling of semiquincentennial and then stitched in the correct spelling!  So....it doesn't look like I made any progress, but next time I pick it up it will be all ready to go!  



Then I picked up Hummingbird's Garden.  I stitched some of the specialty stitches, the crown and the hummingbird...oh and the rest of the letters in the saying.  Yay!  I still need to stitch 3 hearts to the left of the vase, and the rest of the flower border.  Hopefully I can do that the next time I pick up this piece.  #stitchthewinterolympics.  



I was supposed to have my granddaughter here today, but woke up with a fever, sore throat, and a sinus headache.  I've been a little disconnected most of the day so I really hope I didn't make any  mistakes...haha.  We shall see.  So I got a bit farther in my stitching than I thought I would.  Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut.  I'll have to see how I feel in the morning.  This is the pits!!  I don't know where I caught this but I'm done with the sneezing and blowing my nose (which is now in the running for Rudolph's job! haha).  Do I know what I'm stitching tomorrow?  Nope...but I'm sure I'll come up with some idea soon.  I hope you are all well!  Happy Stitching!!

Hi DJ: I am so sorry you do not feel well, I hope its just a 24 hour thing.
I dislike frogging so much have done a ton of it in the past.
Oh my the progress on Let Freedom Ring, amazing, it is such a large design. Hummingbird Garden is so pretty.
