Lili's July Ornament: Free Choice
July 2016
My girlfriends, nearing the end of the month and I come with a free choice.
Thank you for your kind words in the comments on the last post. You surely know that such words please and motivate.
My choice is simple. I found it on Pinterest:
In today's dangerous world I wish you good luck and satisfaction!

July: Free Choice
My ornament for July is Dawn Lewis' 2001 Christmas Ornament.
It's been in my stash for awhile and I finally got it stitched.

July free choice freebie
Hey guys!
For my free choice I chose a Lizzie Kate freebie called Peace Joy Love. It is stitched on a scrap of some sort of linen with threads I dyed myself. I am so excited to have all these stitched ornaments hanging on my tree this year and glad I joined you all on this blog!

A bit wonky but July's ornie is done ....
This was Finish #2 on my Road Trip to Roma stitching - you can read all about my trip to Outback Queensland on my main blog, starting with this post, if you are interested.
I am not overly thrilled with how it has turned out - not the design's fault but mine! I made an error somewhere near the start, didn't pick it up until it was way too late, so had to ditch the idea of a border and create this snow "hill" instead - now it is a bit of an odd shape - may have to make it a bell-shaped ornie, I think, when I Finish Finish it. Although, some other interesting shapes have been suggested to me, as well.

I am so enjoying seeing what everyone else is stitching each month for the various themes. Such beautiful stitching and such a great variety of ideas.
