Ornaments #5 and Stocking #1......(356-360)

Yesterday was a loooong day, but ended in such joy!!! The looks on all my grandkids faces as they saw each other the first time was priceless!!! We received HUGE hugs from them which melted our hearts. I'm happy to report, as we left last night, that the children were all bonding in their rooms together! :)

Now on to some stitching....yesterday's Stroll post would have been the following ornaments. The Santa is a needlepoint one I did in 1979 and the  Winter Wonderland is another Mill Hill kit stitched in 1993. Snow Happens is by Sisters and Best Friends, stitched in 2000 and finished in a  little tin tub ( sorry I just realized you can't see the tub but, trust me, it's there). Sparkles was a "freebie" chart from Mosey n Me and completed in 1999.

Today's post is the first of the needlepoint stockings I did for my family back in the 70's/early 80's. I have since made new ones for my girls families but hang their originals at my house. I shared my older daughters set back in July; they are all Shepherd's Bush stockings. I recently shared my younger daughter and her husband's in progress this past summer; I'll repost them later this month to make an "official" part of my Stroll. Up today is hubby's:

So today I am going to relax, have a cuppa, stitch and recuperate from watching our two grandkids the last 5 days. I can only imagine what four will entail!!! :)

Thanks for all your support and "twisted threads" of friendship!
