While You Weren't Looking...

...I turned the Maggie mini stocking of the cat in a knit cap and coat I finished stitching early last spring into a sock ornament.

The edges are beaded with crystal beads to mimic ice and there are three snowflake charms that hang from the toe. I didn't blog about the finishing as I really didn't have the time to take all the necessary photos and write up my steps since this is a Christmas present that must be delivered Thanksgiving.

WHICH IS IN TWO WEEKS.

Hope you like it. The back fabric is the same satin moire I used to back the wizard standup.

Julia and Rebecca Visit Fireside

Actually, it is their trunk shows visiting the shop at Fireside Stitchery. I had a lot of fun browsing both shows. I especially liked the Noah's Ark animals Julia has that are in various settings--a roller coaster, an ark, an airplane and a bus. Very cute idea. Her realistic dogs and cats are wonderful portraits.

The Rebecca show is in two parts--stockings and everything else. Don't miss the large Nativity and the musical angel with instrument stockings!

And no, I'm not telling you what pages. Go explore!
