cross-stitched christmas stockings

In JUNE?!?!?!?

What wrong with that? There are lot of other people working on christmas projects.

Well, yes.

It's certainly a lot less stressful than trying to finish them *all* in November.

One year I started doing Xmas stockings in May and made a total of 4 (for my BIL, SIL and their two kids) by fall. Each was different, so that helped cut down on the boredom factor.

I work on projects on a rotation lasting about 6 weeks, and this happens to be my 'Xmas week'. I'm doing a holly picture (Ginger&Spice

9104 Winter Berries) for myself, and am beginning to think it would be a good idea to start working on gifts, mostly for nieces and nephews because we do a 'one gift' exchange amongst the adults. Most of the kids aren't really of an age to appreciate cross stitch as gifts, so I will likely be knitting or beading gifts for them.

Well, now`s the time to start if you`re going to. After all, it`s July this week! Personally I NEVER stitch Christmas items!

I just took 'Santa Of The Forest' out of wraps today and should be starting it this week sometime. The way I figure it, working on rotation, I should be finished just in time for Christmas!

I'm currently on the 3rd of 10 hand towels (each a different design) I'm stitching for coworkers. That will probably be the extent of Christmas stitching for me. They're going quicker than I thought they would! :)
