Winter Solstice

Best time of the winter is not Christmas as you would expect for a good christian girl but today the shortest day. As from tomorrow the nights become shorter by a few minutes each day. To me this signals the end of winter and that spring is around the corner.  

Christmas and New Year brings new hope and a cheerful soul as I wave good by to yet another winter solstice!

I pray that you all have a peaceful Christmas and Happy New Year.

Meduim Christmas Stockings

This is the last of my orders for Christmas stockings. These stockings took a little longer to make as they are meduim sized stockings. My Christmas 'sweat shop' is now closed!  I will re-open my 'sweat shop' in January 2013. I am going to be more organised next year and make at least one Christmas gift and a dozen stockings a month..... I say that every year.  

No, no, no, Christmas Stockings

Nineteen more small Christmas stockings made over the last few days.  I have not made a single Christmas gift for my family and friends as orders for my stockings still keep me busy.  My sewing room is beginning to feel alot like a 'sweat shop'.  On the bright side, my fabric stash is being reduced and I have a few pennies to buy new Christmas fabric for 2013 gifts!!!!

Oh no, more Christmas Stockings!

More orders for small Christmas stockings. My Christmas fabric stash now fits onto two small shelves in my sewing room.  My Janome sewing machine and I need a rest!  

More Christmas Stockings

I cannot make Christmas stockings quick enough. Today I had to forget making Christmas gifts for family as I received more orders for small Christmas stockings.
 

Christmas Stockings

The stockings that I blogged and showed a few days ago sold!  Now I have orders to make some more stockings.  I have made fifteen more small stockings in various Christmas fabrics. These stocking are about seven inches in height.

Now back to making gifts for family and friends, otherwise December will be over before I find time to get ready for Christmas. 

 

Meduim Christmas Stockings

I have decided to make a few extra Christmas gifts for family and friends. I know that I have left it a little late to make gifts for this Christmas.  

The picture of the stockings are one that I am going to sell as they are the ones left over.  The stockings are ten inches in height. If these stockings sell, I am going to put the money in my saving pot to restock my fabric stash.
