Hey everyone,
Not a whole lot of stuff going on up here. Just been busy with work and everyday things. Trying to take a little time each evening to stitch.
I finished this cute little primitive stocking, by Hands to work. I have had the chart for awhile and came across it the other night and decided to stitch it. I love that this chart came a small paper bag. Very cute packaging. Isn't the design sweet? It is supposed to be a Christmas ornament but its just too cute to use just for Christmas, Don't you think?? I love that it is small, I didn't stitch it as small as they recommended but I like it just the same. I finished it all by hand because I still have not taken my sewing machine out of its box. UGHH shame on me. Well, I kind of think it looks a bit more primitive done by hand.
I had to share this picture of someone really sweet and special. This is my daughter holding her new niece Gianna. Gianna is my dear friend Illeana's very first granddaughter. I know how thrilled she is after having a house full of boys. What a little doll, and look at that hair. I can't wait to see her and hold her myself in a couple weeks.
I love fabric trims of all kinds and I found these adorable vintage ones on ebay. Of course I don't know what I am going to use them for but I had to have them. I fell in love with that little russian doll trim and the lamb one too. I would love to find loads more like this.
Here is an update on some other stitching. I am hoping to finish the stitching that is left this weekend. Then I am going to find a really nice fabric to make it into a nice big pillow. What do you think? Something with pears maybe?? I think it would make a much better pillow then just being framed. The more I look at this design the more I like it, wouldn't it be great if I could find a patriotic pear design fabric?? I am going to start searching.
Well, time to get ready for work, so glad its Friday. Have a good day, I will post more this weekend.

Wow - lots of great stitching! Love the pic - and look at all that hair!
I love your little stocking finish! And your Little by Little piece -- it's going to make a great pillow! The baby is adorable! Enjoy your weekend!
The baby is just the cutest!!! Your stocking is so sweet and your finishing is perfect. I think you could hang it out all year long - it doesn't look like it's just for Christmas.
The stocking is just so cute, just love it.
What terrific ribbons and yes, the Russian dolls are really nice.
Love the Patriotic Pear.
Definitely keep the stocking out all year--it's too cute! Love your LbL piece, too. Gianna is beautiful, as is her auntie. :)
What a sweet baby girl! I know she'll be a blessing to her family. :)
