We're into a new month now ... summer is starting to wane as September gets closer. I suppose I should review my stitching goals from July and share with you what I hope to get done in August.

Over the last few days when I've not felt like working no the over one section of Enchantment of Winter I've been stitching up some freebies I came across that I really liked, that and the colour combination piqued my interest! Someone had shared a link to Kincavel Krosses on their blog when they stitched up one of her freebies, and the below two caught my eye when I went to take a look.
After a dig through my overdyed flosses I found just the right shades for the freebies since floss brands/colours weren't specified. Which was fun, isn't stash diving always fun??? Its a great way to discover things you may have forgotten!
On the weekend I finished up this first freebie.
