Weekend Olympic Progress

We had a gorgeous day, weather wise on Sat., so we took advantage & worked outside quite a bit of  the day. Like so much of the country, we are in a severe drought here. There are 2 counties in Northern IN still under a burn ban & we are in one of them! Needless to say, it is still very, very dry here. But, we had gotten some rain in the past week or so, so the yard needed mowed for the first time in over 2 months. We also had 'weed like' trees that needed cut down. It felt so good to work outside & not suffocate from the heat.
When we finished outside, it was time to sit & stitch & watch the Olympics.
Yesterday, I spent a lot of the day in the stitching spot also. I am seeing that my stitching isn't going as fast as normal, which tells me that I am doing a lot of watching of the Olympics!!!
Last night, we decided to see how Dudley would do out in public. We have some trails in our town, so away we went. We chose one that is very shaded, so we didn't hurt his paws on hot pavement...
He did wonderful!!!!!! Not only did he not bark or growl at people, he also left other dogs alone, he left a cat alone & he WAS interested in chasing a rabbit away. We were real happy with how he behaved on his first out in public walk!!
I have attached my progress pictures from both Sat. & Sunday. This is such a fun stitch.
I am stitching it on 32 ct. Sand Lugana, from Picture this Plus. I am using all of the called for flosses, except for the pumpkin color of the snowman's nose....I didn't have the called for color, so I am subbing one of my Victorian Motto Sampler flosses......thanks Nancy! It is perfect!!!
