One Down, 743 to Go!

IMG_3716 One project to scratch off of the list!

Jack’s Christmas stocking is complete.

Yea!

IMG_3717 I haven’t used my embroidery skills for quite some time.

By the time I got down to the lower stocking,

all skills of stichery somehow came to the forefront

of my brain and I was proud of my accomplishment.

IMG_3718 Here’s the baby bear saying “Grand Mom, you did an awesome job!”

 

I already ordered and received the next stocking for baby number 2…whenever he or she

makes his or her appearance.

Love the stocking! Are you implying that there is another baby on its way or are you just looking towards the future?

That is elegant. He will treasure it always - especially since it is from and made by his grandma.

It's always a pleasure to know that my mom is already making gifts for the next baby...when she told me she bought another stocking for baby #2. I was speechless. I guess she wants be prepared!

No, Jamie, no baby yet.

What a cherished keepsake for Big Boy Jack. I have handmade items that my Grandmother made for me. Please put a date on this stocking. Even if it wears out Jack can keep pieces from the front. It is beautiful.

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
