Christmas Stockings

I finished Victoria's stocking about a month and a half before Christmas!


I took a look at my stocking, and decided that there was a small chance that I could get it done as well! And I did!



I'm so glad to have finished all of the family Christmas stockings! It only took me 4 years! But they look so nice and I think it is so special for kids to have a homemade stocking, just like I did growing up.


Notice the fabulous cookies the boys made for Santa!


They also made this amazing gingerbread house!


Merry Christmas!

Peach Chorus - Page 1 of 25!

I finished a page of my Mystic Stitch Cross Stitch. I actually finished it a couple weeks ago. My husband went fishing with a friend and left me back at the camper with the kids on a very rainy Saturday. They got soaked and I accomplished quite a bit while the kids napped.


I think it looks amazing and getting one page done makes me want to work even harder at it. But I have Victoria's stocking, which I've already started, a quilt to make and a few other projects on the go.

Baby Feet

For each of my babies I've done a cross stitch with their feet stamped on. I'm quite excited because Victoria's just came back from getting framed! Nothing is more motivating then seeing a finished project!

Her's was a lot more stitching then the two I did for the boys, but it was so cute - and the only other one I could find with feet! There doesn't seem to be very many baby cross stitches with the feet stamping. I was beginning to think I was going to have to come up with my own pattern when, luckily, I found this pattern on ebay. I was really hoping to get her's done before she was born but that didn't quite work out! We stamped Victoria's feet when she was 2 months old, not bad considering I only started it after Christmas!





Anthony's had the least stitching and it done before he was born. Stitched his name and stamped his feet when he was just a couple weeks old.




I didn't get Seth's finished until he was 3 months old. I was in a panic to get it done and actually finished it on a road trip to my brother's wedding - it was a long drive! (And Seth was so good! He has always traveled well.) I was getting worried his big feet weren't going to fit in that little space, and they almost didn't! He is pretty much standing on that poor little bird!



Now with Victoria's cross stitch done, I'm going to work a little bit on my Peach Chorus from Mystic Stitch before I start her Christmas stocking!

A Stocking for Anthony!

I've been working on Anthony's Christmas stocking for about a year and yesterday I finally finished it! I actually had a very productive weekend - finished another project and started a couple more. I'm going to have to make the most of my time if I'm going to get everything done before Christmas!
