Stitching: Bucilla Felt Applique Stockings

Did a lot of these this year... I've got three for sale right now [Winter Birds, Christmas Morning Raggedy Ann, and Ornamental Reindeer]

Still have a lot of uncompleted ones in a box if anyone wants to start a new tradition at their house next Christmas. I make them with a reinforced hang tag and often embellish or change a few things so they're not exactly like the kit requires. Super fun, but I think I'm done for a while. Going to focus on writing again.

Depending on complexity, these take 15-25 hours to complete, but they're so special, they've been worth the time for family members.

Hang a Star - Illustration

The original sketch for "Hang a Star". I love to draw snowmen and little animals in scenes. Here's the completed illustration - colored digitally in photoshop.

Stitching Project: Bear

Found a pattern for a simple bear on pinterst - decided to do one of them yesterday evening. It didn't take long and I think it turned out ok. What do you think? I'm not crazy about the shape of the arms - am going to make those a little different next time. I enjoyed doing it so much that I think I'm going to re-purpose those millions of old shirts into cute little plush dolls I can send with our church members when they go on various mission trips. And I should have enough left to put into an Operation Christmas Child box or two this fall.
