Almost Done....sigh...

Today was another crazy...

Busy....

Productive day!!!

These stockings are the originals that are probably 35 years old....

I was unable to get the quilted gingham...apparently I was supposed to look "on-line"...

Which is not something I am very familiar with...

I am not an internet shopper...

BY any stretch of the imagination...

Anyway.....

This is what I came up with today...

Not quite as whimsical as I had imagined..

But....I felt it was important to try and keep the new stocking as close to the originals as possible... 

I had originally used sequins for our eyes and button trim on the snowman bellies...

I had forgotten about that, until I pulled out the stockings the other day...  

I looked for sequins at 2 different big chain stores...

But came up empty handed...

So.....

I went with big eyes [much like Vivian's]...

Still may cut out some black ones....not sure about that....

And used my buttons stash...for the tummy...

I haven't actually sewn the stocking together as yet....

Not sure if I am completely happy with the way the letters came out...

BUt....at least I am 99% finished...

I spruced up our old stockings with a fresh pom-pom centre for the holly...

I am sure that all will be delighted with that...:o)

 

 While watching TV the other night...

I used up my ends of wool, and made my daughters golden retriever...LOLA...a scarf..

How cute is that???





ANd not to forget my little sweetie..

I made her a new hat...

With a giant pom-pom...

Hope she likes it!!!!   

 

Hope you all had a great weekend...

Mine flew by...

Still no wrapping done....and still no shortbread...

BUt....there are only so many hours in a day...eh?


On the menu tonight is  roasted peameal...scalloped potatoes..
                     Bok- Choy and brussell sprouts...

I am STARVING....and it smells soooooooo good!!!

            Enjoy the rest of your evening...


                     Cheers!  :o)
