Hello everyone.. I am still running behind but I thought I would show you my Christmas Stocking that I made for my Annual Christmas Swap... I had a great time making this little guy. I used variegated, and silver threads on it. I have to admit.. I made a mistake on it.. I discovered the mistake when I edited the photos. I didn't even notice until it was already in the mail. Do you see the mistake??
OH well makes it all the more one of a kind :O)
I hope my partner loved hers.. I was very excited when I received my exchange from her :O)
I will modify this post soon to show all of you her lovely stocking!

I also made a fun craft apron for my daughter out of used jeans.... The center pocket has a zinger to attach your scissors and the pocket is to keep them tucked out of the way when not in use ;O)

The only thing I see is it's backwards. =) It looks wonderful though.
Jennifer isn't that strange all my stockings here are that direction! Purchased ones are also that direction... strange :O)

Really? All mine go the other way.
LOL I didn't realize there was a right and wrong direction on Stockings?
Can anyone advise? Is there a reason or is it because it's more pleasing to the eye facing that direction?
LOL Jennifer the mistake for me at least is.. I didn't put the mouth on the snowman :O)

Adorable stocking. I love that the snowman is throwing a snowball.
Hehehe... I was just coming back on to see what the mistake really was.
Lovely stocking! Mine all face that way too:)
Love the denim apron - practical and fun.
My oldest granddaughter saw this apron and loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Nice post thanks for sharing..blessings for you...loves soraya
The stocking and the Apron came out really cute. You are handy.
I think about you everyday when I write in my journal, I taped your card that came with the journal in the front of the book.
Rain here all day, you are probably getting about the same. I was out getting a big grocery order and got pretty wet.

Thank you everyone for all you sweet compliments. The little apron was really easy to make. I used the back side of Jeans and then just added the center pocket. Of course I had to applique something on it :O) The waist band is a loose long sash that thread through the button holes.. It was very fun and easy to make... I might make some of these as Christmas gifts for family and friends.. I can see all sorts of things being done with these... rick rack, lace, gathered fabric behind the pockets.. buttons, sparkles and so on.. so my friends create create create :O)
hmm! very nice
I love that apron! What a good idea. I've seen a full apron out of a jeans leg that I thought I might try someday.
No worries, this Ozark Farm Chick kinda stays behind. My mom used to say, "the hurrieder I go the behinder I get!"
Mistake...never, I love uniqueness!
Speakin' of that little apron is just too stinkin' cute.
God bless and have a magnificent day! :o)
What a GREAT idea for an apron! Great inspiration!
