Christmas is Coming! Fast!

How can it be so close to Christmas already?!

I haven't done much stitching lately, so I thought that I would share some old finishes that I am enjoying this Christmas season.

I made all of our stockings in wool applique many years ago using patterns from Needl Love books.

The pennies are all from a old favorite plaid wool skirt of mine. 

A favorite Pineberry Lane finish.

Mittens from a Rebekah L. Smith pattern made last year.

The snowflake cube is a Stacy Nash original.

I stitched these Pineberry Lane designs last year,

but they are still waiting to be fully finished.

I am hoping to do that between Christmas and New Year's.

A With Thy Needle and Thread design stitched this year, but not fully finished.

I did finish a little scissor fob.

My Christmas fob is MIA, so I created this one quick 

from a part of a pattern by Little House Needleworks.

I also finished two small Christmas presents. 

I forgot to photograph them before I wrapped them,

so I need to try to remember to take pictures after they are opened...

Two weeks ago, my husband was on a business trip out east.

I was so surprised to get this photo from him:

Rockefeller Center at Christmas?!?!

I was so jealous! But we did manage a quick trip out west this past weekend.

I'll share some pics from that after Christmas...

 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.

And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.

He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:

And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

~Luke 1:30-33
