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.
