WOW! Where has the time gone??

I can't believe how long it has been since my last post.

So much has happened not sure where to start. 

I have been stitching but I have also been doing grandma daycare four days a week 

since the middle of February. I love watching the grands but it can be exhausting:)

So, Let me try to do some catching up.

This was not a WIP but a project that should have been done years ago.

I wanted to stitch a stocking for each of our children well we have six!!!

Then add spouses and that's a lot of stockings.  So as of right now I think I have

two more to do with the possibility of another one when the last child gets

married. So my goal has been to stitch at least one a year. Goal met this year:) 

 I have stitched six Bent Creek Stockings for the grands we have.

Plus I try to stitch an ornament every year for at least the grands.  

My advice, just remember when you commit to something like that it may involve 

a bit of stitching each year:)  

I hope all is well with everyone and thanks for stopping by.

I would say that I will try to do better with posting but not sure I should commit

to that:). But hopefully I will get better!!
