Hello again, Stitchy Friends! Thank you so much for the warm welcome back to the world of blogging. I’m very sorry that some of you were worried. I didn’t intend for my break to be so long. As usual, the days somehow slipped away and before I knew it over two months had passed.
Today I thought I’d show some of what I’ve been working on. Longtime readers may remember that I’ve been stitching stockings for my family members (my parents, my son, my husband, and myself). I’m currently working on the last one (yay!), which is for my husband. Here’s my progress so far:
The design is Candy Cane Stocking, designed by Dimensions. I’m stitching it with all the materials included in the kit and I think it is turning out great! I’m so happy I’m finally past the halfway point. I feel pretty confident that I’ll have it done in time. My goal is December 1st, but my absolute deadline is obviously Christmas Eve.
I’m also in a Halloween mood (when aren’t I?), so I’m working on a little project with my embroidery machine. I’ve only got a few panels done so far, but when I get the time it will be assembled into a really cool layered design. (Check it out here.)
I’ve also got some pretty cool Cricut projects on the go, but right now they are just piles of paper which isn’t at all interesting to look at. I’ll share them soon though, along with a look at my newest craft room tool. (Check out my Instagram for a sneak peek!)

I think we are all just relieved to know you were just taking a break! Lovely stocking, such pretty work!
I did see your new toy on IG.. I’m very intrigued by your layered machine stitching!
Heather: You have made some great progress on the stocking, it is lovely.
I am so interested in seeing the Haunted House finished, that is an amazing idea.
So happy you are back Blogging.

A positive break is a good break. Just glad it wasn’t bad news that kept you away. Your stocking is beautiful. Good luck with your other projects you have going too.
Nice work on the stocking, Santa looks so much better with his eyes finished!
Love the Hallowe’en embroidery too, they have some great designs, like the Alice one, of course!
Your stocking is magical! Lovely addition to your family Christmas decor.
Your stocking looks great so far, plenty of time to finish before Christmas Eve.
A Halloween mood is the best mood, this is going to look so cool!
