NEW START: July Bear

I started to stitch the June Bear before I had all my eye surgeries.  I wasn't sure I would ever stitch again.  I could so I finished that Bear probably back in 2005 or 2006.  I really wanted to stitch all the month bears and use them as a calendar some how.  So . . . . even though I haven't finished any of my current projects I went ahead and started another one of these.  I picked which one I would do several months ago and I couldn't wait.  It's the July Bear (with the flag pole and the fireworks in metalic threads - yeah me!).  Below is the front and back cover of the booklet.  I think when this one is done I'd like to do the October bear next because it's just so cute.














 I've been working on it for just over 2 weeks and this is how much I've got done so far.  I'm not looking forward to the doing the metallic threads but now that I have some beeswax they might be easier to use.  I'm doing it on 14ct, 2x1 full, Silver Aida.  It's not a shiny silver just a dull gray/silver color.
