Christmas Is Over

It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted a blog

so I decided it was time to get caught up.

I have tried to keep up on the reading of blogs but I

got a little behind on that also.

Right before Christmas I was busy getting some last minute

Stitching done.

Last year I wanted these stockings done, but never got 

around to it. And I got the last one stitched on

on Christmas Eve this year. The girls all picked out there own

color they wanted.

The other project that I was working on was

pillow cases for each of the grandkids.

I should have said 6 grandkids and 1 son

Trey & Gavin got John Deere pillow cases

Kyla got butterflies

Kacee got princess

Kynzie got Tinkerbell

Sharlee got Minnie Mouse

and my son TJ got a Farmall pillow case

they all loved them.

Then I started a bread cover for the New Year

Isn't this just the cutest!

This was a little bit fussy with lots of half stitches

but I had fun spending a couple of evenings

stitching it.

And now that Christmas is over and the house

is cleaned back up I started stitching again on my Santa that

I had planned to have done by now. HaHa. It looks like it will be

for next year.

I have added the green section since I last took a

picture of this Santa. I will continue to work on him

until January 1st when I will be starting the

2012 Crazy Challenge. I will be doing 15 new starts and

will make a list of my WIP's (I think there are about 10 of them)

and work on finishing them up also.

Here are some pictures from Christmas Day here on our farm.

and Kynzie stuck her head in at the last minute.

Silly girl!

And the little girls relaxing and watching Minnie Mouse

Well that just about does it for now.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas, I know that I did!

And I look forward too all the great stitching in the

New Year.
