This past week I finished two Christmas stockings. Granted, they were from kits, but they were a lot of work. Each one represents 20 or more hours of hand work. If for some reason you are ever inspired to buy a kit, whether it's cross stitch, needle point, pre-cut design, or any other "kit", you'd better plan on spending many hours on it. There is a reason it's sold as a kit and not ready made. These stockings each had over 90 pieces, and embroidery, and lots and lots of sequins, and every sequin has a little tiny bead. I did enjoy making them, and the customer is very happy with the result. It was nice to get back to my roots of hand sewing. And to just sit and watch a movie while I worked. I'm posting the photos because it's fun to see the progression.
