My sweet Mother In Law sent us this Christmas stockings a few

My sweet Mother In Law sent us this Christmas stockings a few years back and they have become our special stockings that go up every year. My husband and I got ours the year we were married and when we were expecting our daughter, she sent us hers. This is my son's second Christmas, and she has promised to send one for him too. (She has carpal tunnel so was unable to make it for him last year--I didn't want to make it as I think it will be especially special when we tell him that is it from his Mommou. :P)

I think are just adorable!

My daughter refuses to call them Christmas stockings and insists that they be called Christmas socks. When I'm not looking she'll take hers down and next thing I know shes wearing hers on her foot. I am hoping that since we explained what those are for that she will quit doing that. .....Hopefully! :) hehe

Starting All Over Again

I start blogs with the best of intentions. I promise myself that I will faithfully enter each day. It's with great resolve I sit down to the computer to type and then I think, " Ooh, I wonder what new crochet patterns my favorite site has." Then, I get lost in the patterns. I am thinking of Christmas gifts, decorations, and lately here shawl patterns of all kinds.

So, as I am typing now, I hope ..with my fingers crossed...that I will faithffully keep up with this blog. :O)

Isn't she adorable! One of my farmgirl sister sent me this

Isn't she adorable! One of my farmgirl sister sent me this link to this design and I thought she was too cute not to put in my kitchen somewhere. I embroidered her on my toaster. After 6 years of being VERY well used, it definitly needed a facelift. :O) Look! She is even has her apron on to do her chores...must be she's a "Farmgirl Mouse!"
