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

Oh, how wonderful, Sarah! I loved doing ccs, until my eyes started going wonky. Your kiddos now have treasured keepsakes--stitched with love by their Mom. Love your stockings, too! Thanks so much for sharing...
ReplyDeleteFabulous work, Sarah! I used to cross stitch when I was in college and loved doing it! These stockings are really beautiful! A very special keepsake for your kids to have, always!
ReplyDeleteThe twin's stockings turned out great. You did a wonderful job cross stitching and sewing! Mom
ReplyDeleteThese are all beautiful! Love the cross stitching. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! Wow those are beautiful! Good for you for finally getting it all done! And what work you've done! Amazing! :> The nice hting is waiting to 5 means that they will appreciate it more!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That was a lot of work! All of them are so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteOh 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 :)
ReplyDeleteLots of holiday blessings for you and your whole family!!
Wow, absolutely gorgeous Sarah! What wonderful keepsakes to have throughout each holiday season!
ReplyDeleteWow, no wonder it took you so long! They're gorgeous. You are so talented, my friend.
ReplyDeletewow! your cross stitched stockings are a.m.a.z.i.n.g., Sarah! love love love them!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Sarah, the children's stockings are fantastic - you are so talented! I'm sure they will always treasure them! The stockings your mom made are beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteCould you share where you found these patterns?
