A Christmas finish

One down and 2 more to go!

I finished this little stocking last night for my sitter.  She's really into Americana and decorates her house for every holiday so I thought this would really work for her.

It's got red white and blue beads in every stitch all the way around and a hanger of silk ribbon in Delphinium from HDF.  Josh asked me after it was done if I was going to stitch one for us too.  I guess that means he approves!

Winter's here!

I think winter has finally arrived.   It snowed enough that the boys started to build a snow man. 

I'm trying hard to finish the last two pages of the second row of Lust.  I might just make it.  I finished that last completed flame in about 4 days.

I started my Christmas gift for our sitter yesterday too.  These are both sides of a little stocking ornament that will include a ribbon hanger for a tree or cabinet knob, whatever our sitter decides.  The left one will have a patriotic theme and the right one will just have a simple winter theme.
