| This year our Christmas shopping consists mainly of some small identical presents and when I saw the pattern for Mini Stockings (http://www.marthastewart.com/article/mini-stockings) on the Martha Stewart Crafts email I thought those look simple and they would be cuter than wrapping. DH added, and you could machine embroider their names, too. Little did I know that they would take the better part of 3 days. I enlarged the pattern to 130% and I'm glad that I did or they would have been really fiddly. I made 29 of them, and I was glad to see the last one, I'm not so much a crafter as a would be quilter, lol. I was really wanting to get working on Step 3 of Roll Roll Cotton Boll, and on some quilts in progress, but felt that I needed to finish the stockings. Now, my brother is coming to visit, which is a good thing and so I am probably not going to get to working on more sewing for a few days. That doesn't even take into account that I need to do some housecleaning so that I can put up Christmas decorations, etc...... I'm just a retired person with 'time on my hands', how can I be so far behind? |

What cute little stockings, but what a time they took. Worth it though. It's funny isn't it how time seems to get filled up to overflowing no matter whether you're working or retired. Go on, get your decorations up and forget about the cleaning; it'll only need doing again anyway.
I love your cute little stockings. Much more fun than wrapping. I can't believe you made 29 of them! No wonder it took 3 days. I hope you get everything done in time. Funny how there are never enough hours in the day.
Ha, ha, seems like the more time we have the less time we have! Does seem strange how fast we are getting into December. Your little stockings look great, love the embroidered names, makes them even more special!

It's funny after we are retired how we find we are busier than when we worked. I love your little stockings, and the names and date add a nice touch. Have a nice visit with your brother!
