The Stocking Were Hung...

Well, I`m not hanging them quite yet... BUT they are FINALLY done! :) Pretty sure I had Jaden`s done for his 1st Christmas and Chris`s by his second. Finally finished the twins` (in time for their 5th Christmas).

They`re all x-stitched and all have a snowman theme but each one is different. :) My Mom did the sewing for the 1st 2 boys and now that I have my own sewing machine I figured I should tackle that part myself. ;)


Here they are. Sorry the pictures are SO bright. Lots of snow outside and the sun is reflecting off of it.


I thought I`d throw in a picture of Steve and my stockings too. My Mom made them for us, I believe for our first married Christmas.


Well, there you have it. Hopefully now that I have those projects done I can get back to making cards and leaving comments on people`s blogs. :) Hope everyone is staying warm!

Hugs,
Sarah

  8. Oh my word, Sarah, these are amazing!! I can't believe it only took you 5 years. LOL! Seriously, I made a little 4x6 cross-stitched plaque for my brother and sister-in-law when they got married and it took me months to finish it! Those snowmen are so sweet - I bet your kids absolutely love them! What a special way to make memories with your family every year at Christmas time. Be sure to post pictures with your beautiful kiddos when they open them! And now - as much as I LOVE those stockings - back to card making!! I need some serious inspiration, I've still got about 30 Christmas cards to make and I've missed seeing what you've been up to with ink and paper :)
    Lots of holiday blessings for you and your whole family!!

  13. Your stockings are STUNNING! Many years ago I was hooked on x-sticthing and made my daughters stocking.It was the 80's and I was into samplers so it is much more linear with bands of stitching and Christmas toys. It is nice but nothing as beautiful as these. Now that I am in love with stamping and scrapping I haven't picked up a needle in years. Makes me want to dig out the aida cloth again.
    Could you share where you found these patterns?
