Anyhoo....onto the stitching...which is what you came here to see! This is what I have been working on.....
Looks a bit strange doesn't it? This was for an advent calendar idea that, sadly, won't be ready for the start of December. But since I'm an adult (and so are my kids!!!) it's no big deal that it won't be ready in time and we can continue with the idea as soon as I get back.
Another Christmas stitching project that I started was this......
I love these felt applique stockings! Luckily, this one won't be needed till December 24th, so I'll have plenty time to complete it when we return to the US. All those sequins and seed beads that are involved means that it's not really a project to take with you when you travel....
Some of you may remember me stitching these before.......I think they should carry a health warning on the packet....they are addictive! Here are some pics of the other stockings that I've made......
No doubt I'll be complaining of my fingers hurting with stitching all those sequins....which is, I'm sure, what happened when stitching those other stockings!
So all that's left for me to do is to grab something from my stash so that my fingers are busy while we are away..... a great reason to have a supply of unopened kits....even if they are just the freebies from the cross stitching magazines!
Remember there's still time to enter my giveaway....click here if you want to enter.
Until next time...happy stitching!

Hugs it's difficult losing family but better when you do get a chance to say goodbye. I remember when you did the last lot of stockings I seem to recall a few comments about sore fingers then but the end result is amazing.
So sorry for the sadness a funeral brings. Your beautiful stockings sure bring happiness though. They are just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Love your stockings.
Rhona I'm so sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your stockings are adorable and your Advent project will be a brand new gift for next year. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
