stocking update - one week left!

Alright, I'm getting close to my Christmas deadline. I have 6 more days to get this stocking complete. From the picture below, you can tell that I've spent more time developing my lil man rather than the stocking. But, I have a lot fewer steps left to complete the stocking than I have to complete my son! I had him sewing too, but he got sleepy and decided to take a nap instead. I don't have too much left to do, just have to finish sewing his name and then have to attach that and the bird to the stocking. Then, I have to add the berries, stitching and bells on the boots, Santa's right hand, the ball on top of his hat and then sew the back on... not too much, right?!

Also, check back later for a Favorite Food Friday!

stocking update

Alright, I've been working on the stocking - making some progress. I'm learning that it is hard to get started on something so detailed, I get limited time to dedicate to these projects. I am excited about how it is turning out. I construct Santa's face next, so I think that will make a big difference. So far I am done through Step 13 - that's like halfway!

And here's a picture to show you how my other "Santa" is progressing!
