Christmas Planning

We have a Christmas tradition in our family that each person receives a new Christmas Tree decoration each year.

Some years they are purchased, other years hand made.

For the past few years I have been the one orgainising it. The decorations have included beaded items, painted plastic eggs, and mini guide dog soft toys.

This year I am again working on hand crafted items - tiny stockings with cross stitch motives. Each one will be different, but all are from the Bucilla 'Tiny Stockings' kit. I will be stitching and making 8 of the possible 30 stockings. And I've decided to start now so that I'm not rushing to get them done before Christmas.
