Stocking Progress

I need to finish the toe and then backstitch this portion of the stocking and it will be done.
A very dear friend died on 09-12-2013 and it was very sad news for us.  I have discovered that in addition to stitching bringing much joy and relaxation, it also keeps the sadness at bay.

I have been following another stitcher working on a Christmas stocking and she said she is "already beginning to feel a bit melancholy at the thought of not stitching my angel . . ".  I feel that same sense as I near the end of one of my favorite stitching projects.  Visit Riona's blog by CLICKING HERE to see her beautiful Christmas stocking project she is sharing with blog land.


As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
