Wonderful! Is it an HAED? A third of the way!

[Roland]

Not a HAED. I bought it here. https://xs-collectibles.com/

[Serinde]

Well, that site's a rabbit hole!!

[Mabel Figworthy]

Such detail! You're doing a lovely job on a challenging design

[Roland]

Well, that site's a rabbit hole!!

Absolutely. I could just look for days.

I’ve been working on a stocking which I offered to my son’s fiancé’s new little niece. Now I do the backstitching.

[Mabel Figworthy]

The name looks beautiful on it, and it is such a sweet design!

[Roland]

It’s starting to come to life as I do the backstitching.

The name looks beautiful on it, and it is such a sweet design!

I agree.

[Roland]

The backstitching and beading are done. I have decided this was my last stocking. But…my oldest grandson is going to be a daddy, so I have to make one for his baby. Then I was told someone else I gave a stocking to is pregnant, so now I have 2 more to do.

Its lovely

[Mabel Figworthy]

That is a great stocking, I'm not surprised lots of people are clamouring for one!

[Serinde]

All your stockings are wonderful! And once you started on this, well, there was bound to be a generational clamour!

[Roland]

Going to meet little Lenora and her parents this weekend. I haven’t actually put it together though, so not bringing it.

I have been working on a stocking for my niece’s baby. My niece is actually rather ungrateful, but, her mom (my SIL) has been great to my kids, so I will make it for her. Priority is my grandson’s baby and I’ll be starting on it today and putting this aside. I do love how this is looking though.

[Mabel Figworthy]

That's a lovely start, and I do like your generosity in going by your SIL's kindness rather than your niece's ingratitude!

[Serinde]

Agree, Mabel. Kindness is key.

What perfectly lovely tiny stitches!

[Roland]

The start of a stocking for my grandson’s baby, due this fall. I know it’s not identifiable yet, but this is a sweater. The pattern is called Elliot and the Tree.

[Mabel Figworthy]

I like playing "can you guess what it is yet" - I would have guessed a tree trunk, so I'm obviosuly very bad at this game

[Roland]

That’s what I think it looks like too.
