Well again it has been awhile since my last post. I have decided that I am not going to feel guilty or make excuses for not posting sooner, the reality is life is busy. Besides I really do this blog as a way to track my stitching for myself. So with that being said here is what I have been up to in between all the things that happen in life:)
One of the things I needed to get done was this stocking for our newest grandchild. Finnegan was born last March 5th and I have started the tradition of making Christmas stockings for each of the grandchildren. This one makes number six. I was very happy to have this done before Christmas.
This is a Bent Creek pattern called Christmas Eve. Stitched on 18 count linen with DMC.
Along with the stockings I also stitch an ornament for each grandchild, plus I like to stitch one for each of my children, that is 12 twelve ornies. I will say that I don't always get them done in a timely fashion for my children. So far for the last 7 years I have gotten the grandchildrens done:)
Next up are some things that I have stitched for myself but just the stitching is done.
These are Plum Street Samplers Thanksgiving stockings. They were stitched on 36 count linen I dyed with DMC threads.

This is a Lizzie Kate Stocking that was stitched last year. Just finished it a couple of weeks agol
This is a Homespun Elegance ornament I stitched earlier this year for our oldest daughter as she lives in Tennessee. I also stitched and finished one for daughter number 2 who lives in Georgia, also got it finished. Can't remember if I got a picture of it but I did give it to her for Christmas!!
I have about five other items that I stitched, but haven't taken pictures of them. I finished stitching them between October and now. I will have to track them down.
This last picture is of my new sewing space. Our oldest son put this work station up for me. I am so excited to use it. Still getting things organized. I had been sewing on the dining room table. I am so glad to get my projects off that table. As if I don't have enough to do as far as crafting goes I also want to quilt and sew, plus crochet and make jewerly. Good thing I don't work!!! But I do take care of the grandbabies alot so I don't just craft:)
Have a Happy New Year.
