I don't know about you all but I am working on the 3rd christmas stocking (counted cross-stitch) for my family. Each santas have a different color wardrobe and posed different. So far I have done a green outfit, red outfit and right now I am working on the blue outfit. I did the 1st stocking in 3 weeks and did the 2nd one in about 3 1/2 weeks. So I have about 6 more to go before christmas (this will be my in-laws' christmas present) - will give it to them on Thanksgiving so that way they can decorate the christmas stuffs. Are any of you working on the christmas projects?? Marcie

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.Dora
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! :)
