Turtle Trot monthly update and weekly update

Hi Blogger Friends.  It's time for my turtle trot update.  This is a SAL being hosted by Claudette of BAP Attack.  We pick 10 projects to work on throughout the year and see how many we can finish.  We post pictures on our progress each 10th of the month.
I also stitched on a few other WIPS as I have 15 in my rotation which includes an ornament for a quarterly exchange. I am a big sports fan, so I have been watching the Houston Astros and the Houston Rockets, so a lot of stitching goes on. The Houston Astros are playing great baseball this year and the Houston Rockets are having a hard time, but I am still a big fan.
First are my pictures of the 10 turtle trot projects.
