stocking stuffers

I was playing with my little twister and made these cute little pot holders for the big kids for there Christmas stockings this year.  The green and blue for my daughter that loves owls. Grapes for my daughter-in-law who loves wine and the flames are for my son who loves to grill.

I sat and stitched the bindings on this morning so I can put them in the done pile and see what else needs to be added to the stocking pile and hopefully not have to go to town today.

 

Safe travels and Happy Holidays!

last ornament for 2012

This ornament is for my DH who loves motorcycles. The top item on his Christmas list every year is a Harley so this year he get Santa riding one.  LOL  Maybe someday he will get a real one, but they are so expensive. We looked at the Harley shop last weekend and the prices are crazy we could almost buy a second house. LOL

 

I feel pretty good this year I have all ornaments stitched and finished and its not even Christmas eve yet! I will have to remember my trick this year for next year start before Thanksgiving and they should get done. This year I only stitched 8 so that helped a lot too.

 

 

Merry Christmas everyone!

Counted Cross Stitch

This is my latest finish my daughters ornament. The chart is from JCS 2008. I like to look at the old issues when trying to figure out what I will stitch for each family member. When I saw this one this year I  just new it was for my daughter. I didn't use the buttons it called for as I didn't have them in my stash and I thought these little lights were just too cute.

 

I'm doing pretty good on getting things done as I'm stitching the last ornament for this year. It's for my DH I don't know why but I always seem to stitch his last. This year it will be finished to go with his from last year that I finished this year. Oh well he just gets 2 this time.

 

Have a good day everyone I'm off to quilt class today,

stitching

Finished and sent off another Round Robin yesterday. I don't know why this one took so long for me to get it stitched but it's done and on it's way to the next stitcher.

I also did a little finishing for me today. This is stitched over 1 on 28 ct this is the first thing I've stitched over 1 it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I used a little empty candle jar and some pink ribbon to finish it off.  The stitched area is only 1 1/2 inches tall.

 

Just have 2 more ornaments to get stitched and finished for this year I think I will make it.
