Christmas Stockings

My family grew up with Bucilla Christmas Stockings from needlepoint kits that my mom and aunt made. I have always associated them with Christmas and wanted to make them for us and for our kids to grow up with. I spotted one that was perfect for Audra at Hobby Lobby and they were 30% off so I grabbed 3 different ones that I thought would work well for our family. A few weeks ago, I spent every free second making progress on Audra's. I was hell bent on getting it done before Christmas so that it would be hanging with ours at my parents' where we are spending the holiday.

After approx. 40 hours, success:

And hung up with the rest:

Now to see if I can finish Chi's before the 24th.
