And the stockings were finally hung

Chenille Stockings

I kept putting off making these stockings. I have had in mind to make them from a chenille sweater I had but was afraid to start cutting. I am very pleased with the way they turned out. I may eventually sew something on them to dress them up a little but for now I'm pleased. They're the sweater sleeves if you were wondering. :)


This is a little primitive angel I sewed. I drew her face with markers. The wings are stuffed felt and there's a button that you have to squint to see in this pic. I enjoyed making her and I may give her to a lady in our church if I can bring myself to let go of her.


This is a little quiltie I made. I designed the angel and stitched her. I first made her into an ornament but I didn't like the ornament so I "unsewed and unstuffed" it and made a quiltie. I like it a lot.

I finally got all my shopping done today. I'm so glad I didn't make myself go out in the rain yesterday. It is absolutely BEE U TEE FULL today. I had the best time, was focused and got everything I needed to let folks know I love them Monday morning.

I have so many people "out there" in internet land who I love and want to send things too. After Christmas I plan to start crafting and arting a lot more. I have been the recipient of so many beautiful wonderful things and it has been really appreciated.

Tim and I had a big fight yesterday. I stayed in bed for the remainder of the day. (I never do that) I threatened to leave...it was horrible. I was sick, sick, sick. Today we kissed and made up. I made my New Year's Resolution to be a kinder, gentler partner. (Now if I could get Minnie Pause to cooperate with me) A gruff speaker and a sensitive soul probably should not try to commune but the choice is made. lol What to do. We love each other despite ourselves. hehe

I hope everyone has a wonderful, wonderful holiday. Love to you.
