With Christmas coming around the corner, I thought I should get started on my ornaments. This is the Navajo mini-stocking. There are 3 mini-stocking designs to stitch on the plastic canvas. It is a kit from my sister who passed away. She gave me a set of 6 mini-stockings. I thought it would be nice to put them all on the trees when I am finished. The instruction says to stitch all 3 stockings before cutting around the stockings and to finished the backing. The first of the 6 is done and I have 5 more to go.

I have only been away for a week, and so many new things! Great stitching everyone, and Mabel, your cards turned out to be wonderful! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

I'll take pics of them once they're all made up into cards.
Do you know where I can get some simple card themes to use for our Christmas cards this year? Thanks, Dawn

He's adorable.

I'm not doing any christmas stitching this year and I have to say that it feels a little weird. I guess there's still time to whip something up.

Lovely little Teddy. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Pengwenn, I know what you mean, I had decided not to do any this year, after all I will be on my own probably, but then joined the christmas biscornu exchange, started stitching it and now want to do some more :)
