Jillian's Stocking.



I am prepping the fabric for this one and it is going to Mia my youngest grand daughter in Florida. I just have to get the bead pack. Petra, I had Wyatt's stocking already done I just added the name. LOL and I told them if they change there mind's too bad. HA!!! all I need for that one is the buttons, looks like a trip to Cleveland. If I were patient? is that spelled right? I could get my local lady to order them for me but I'm not.

No Hocus Pocus Progress BUT.............



Here is the new grandbabies stocking. They decided on Wyatt Jackson for a name so I can live with that I guess they shook hands on it so I stitched it on there...Now I just need to order the buttons and then this one can go to the finisher too.

Stitching news and other stuff





So far so good with the heat I don't think it got as hot as it was supposed to and I have been drinking water and sitting under the fans and lo and behold wouldn't ya know I found another stocking I want to stitch this one is a Drawn Thread. I think I am going to do stockings for Jason and Chrissy too. Don is still working and it looks cloudy like it is thinking about raining, but nothing yet. The race is on tonight and so it will be some good stitching time.

Stitching Cat and Stocking Progress



This is Bubba Cat and he thinks he is little and can fit anywhere he wants....and basically he does even if he has to shove things out of the way.

below is the picture of the stocking that I am doing for Angelina. it's turning out very nice. I am watching the indians and stitching.

Happy 4th of July

We are not doing a whole lot around here........I hope. He did say something about a party or something. yuck, I would rather stay home and stitch so I am hoping for rain. is that wrong? oh well it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. Aimee was just here she was on her way to work and she is hoping for a slow day. She said it was crazy yesterday. off to stitch... this is not a good week my youngest son called last night to at 2:45am to tell me that the lady he lives with , my friend in florida debbie had a small stroke. this is a shitty week and I will be glad when it's over. Hey Laurel...you behave over there with your health and don't be pulling no funny stuff, and tell Jamie to have that baby we need some good news.

Progress on LK Stocking

I am working on the LK Angel Stocking and waiting for Don to get home. I have dinner ready and I have been stitching some this afternoon on the stocking and I was going to watch the game but will have to wait a while longer since they are on rain delay. I hope my thread gets here tomorrow so I can get the dress done ......it's absolutely amazing how much thread one can have and not have the number the chart calls for. Oh well.
