cross-stitched christmas stockings
I don't know about you all but I am working on the 3rd christmas stocking
(counted cross-stitch) for my family. Each santas have a different color wardrobe and posed different. So far I have done a green outfit, red outfit and right now I am working on the blue outfit. I did the 1st stocking in 3 weeks and did the 2nd one in about 3 1/2 weeks. So I have about 6 more to go before christmas (this will be my in-laws' christmas present) - will give it to them on Thanksgiving so that way they can decorate the christmas stuffs. Are any of you working on the christmas projects?? Marcie |

It's certainly a lot less stressful than trying to finish them *all* in November. -- Jenn Ridley : WIP: Water Lilies, Honey I Shrunk the Heart, Rose Trio, Emperor's Coat II, Carousel Most recently Finished: Be Mine, Romance, Halloween Circle Stitching log: http://www.livejournal.com/users/jenn_stitch/ |

I figure it will take me years to get the three stockings done for my
family. I'm busy making ornaments now. If I wait until the last minute, they just don't get done. Too many other things to deal with in November and December. fran wrote: In JUNE?!?!?!? -- Brenda NEW to Styx, classic to the world: Big Bang Theory |

Each was different, so that helped cut down on the boredom factor. Caryn |

Are any of you working on the christmas projects?? Marcie I work on projects on a rotation lasting about 6 weeks, and this happens to be my 'Xmas week'. I'm doing a holly picture (Ginger&Spice 9104 Winter Berries) for myself, and am beginning to think it would be a good idea to start working on gifts, mostly for nieces and nephews because we do a 'one gift' exchange amongst the adults. Most of the kids aren't really of an age to appreciate cross stitch as gifts, so I will likely be knitting or beading gifts for them. Dora |

I just took 'Santa Of The Forest' out of wraps today and should be starting
it this week sometime. The way I figure it, working on rotation, I should be finished just in time for Christmas!
