A few of you have inquired about the braided hair on this recently posted Shepherd's Bush stocking....

I used mohair thread that she provided, (specified by SB..)... After practicing hand braiding, I carefully attached using the same mohair thread for both the bands and the braids.... Somewhat tedious, but easily learned, I feel it's the perfect touch to this sweet child~ Again, thanks for all the inquiries....

I put a pocket on the back for notes to your friend....

Hoping you enjoyed these ornaments.... Enjoy your day and happy stitching~

The stockings were hung......

Some of you know how much I love sewing and finishing a stocking, but few of you know how absolutely **thrilled** I have been this Fall finishing all the beautifully cross stitched pieces into stockings for your loved ones.... It's been a bumper crop year for me sewing Shepherd's Bush stockings along with many others.... Here are a few I can show you~

Knowing I had a small part in creating these stockings for children and grandchildren is heart warming~ May they all hold not a treasured gift or two, but recognition of the love and attention that each stitcher put into crosstitching them... Many a unique charm and embellishment has been attached in hopes that each child will some day reflect back remembering their sweet mom or grandmother....

 

Enjoy making memories at tomorrows Thanksgiving festivities..... Pause and show true gratitude for what you have and for who you have in your lives.......

 

Always,
