Making Forward Progress August 2017

Welcome to the August link-up for the 2017 Making Forward Progress Challenge. This month's project is number 3.
Please write at least one post about your project and share with us: 

• What your project for this month is 
• The status of the project at the beginning of the month
• What the very next step you need to take to move the project forward is
• The status of the project by the end of the month
• Whatever details you want to share about your work on the project during the month
• Pictures included in your post are awesome, but not required

This can be a post at the beginning and a post at the end of the month, or it can be one post at the end of the month with all the info on how the project went for the month. Do what works best for you.  All posts related to your August project (#3 from your list) should be linked below. For help on linking Facebook posts check out Lisa's Linky Tips.

If you want to share an update on how your June project went please link it to the July post.

Let the progress begin!
