This is my second one and will match my
April ornament.

Lady Kell of Kincavel has some wonderful freebies and you should check them out.   I also want to stitch the snowflake humbug freebies to add to my ornament collection so don't be surprised if you see some more of these!

July has been my "Challenge" month and I have been busily stitching on BBD "Their Song" and CHS "Frederick".   I am enjoying stitching both so I just keep alternating between the two.   It would be great if I can I finish "Their Song" before month end.  Just got to keep on stitching.

As always, thanks for your wonderful comments and taking time to visit my blog.  
Happy stitching and stay cool!
