Christmas stocking!
Our daughter told me yesterday that she will be coming for Christmas which will be lovely and the first Christmas we have spent together for several years. Having been laid up with the wretched virus I got nothing done last week apart from hanging the door wreath and setting up the tree on Sunday so suddenly with only a couple of days left I have to get on with my shopping etc. If daughter is coming I can indulge myself in making up a stocking for her as in the old days! 
Am planning my first outing this afternoon - taking D to the hospital for further tests (how exciting is that?!) but hope to find somewhere to park the car so I can do a few bits of shopping. Having made this stocking last night - those of you who watched Kirsty's Home made Christmas will recognise the idea - I now need a few bits to fill it with! 
However I will be limited in what I can fit into it as I haven't made it wide enough at the top really. The embroidery is not up to my usual standard either being machine zig zag stitch instead of done by hand but I am not too displeased with it for only a couple of hours' work.
I leave you with these narcissi which are the remnants of a little posy from the Scilly Isles sent to me by a friend - a real breath of spring eh?! Hope your Christmas preparations are going according to plan.
Love the stocking, and have a lovely Christmas with your daughter. Hope you get the shopping done too, but if not... hey, it's not the end of the world is it? Do as the Cadbury's Caramel bunny....
ReplyDeleteI love the stocking you made, it's very sweet! I hope you have good luck finding parking and doing your shopping. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteJane,
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely Christmas with your daughter. She will love her stocking just as much as I loved your thank you card. It has pride of place on my mantelpiece. Thank you! Good luck with your shopping but pace yourself. After a few days of inacitvity too much can take the stuffing out of you and you now have a great Christmas to look forward to so take care. Lesley x
Aww, the stocking is so sweet, I am sure she will love it. Have a wonderful time.
ReplyDeletethe stocking looks totally great! Didn't follow, who's D? Hubby? Nothing serious is it?
ReplyDeleteNice that your daughter can come! :-)
Hi Jane
ReplyDeleteThe stocking is absolutely lovely and the fact that your daughter will be coming for Christmas is surely the perfect antidote to all the doom and gloom you've had to put with. Pinkfairygran is right, what really matters is the fact you'll all be together and not what you're able to put on the table!
Have a wonderful time

Have a great time with your special daughter. I know you must be sooooooo excited to see her. What charming stocking you have there.... Hope you are on the mends. It must be going around the blogs. We all seem to have something.
ReplyDeleteHi Jane hope you are better! Have a lovely time with your daughter and Merry Christmas to you both.

ReplyDeleteJust wanted to pop along and say have a 'Happy Christmas' and a very merry new year!!
ReplyDeleteHow happy you must be to see your daughter over Christmas, she will love her stocking, and I am sure you will be able to find lots of little things to pop inside. We tackled the shopping today in the snow and slush, and despite the queues everyone was in a really Christmassy, friendly mood so I hope your trip went as well.
ReplyDeleteHope shopping went well and am sure you will have found plenty to fill that lovely stocking. Have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jane, I'm looking forward to seeing my mum tomorrow and I bet your daughter can't wait to see hers. Look after yourself and MERRY CHRISTMAS! Anne :0) x
