Bucilla stocking, no. 2.
Tuesday, November 16, 2010 at 12:40PM At the end of last holiday season, I wrote about Max's Christmas stocking. It is from a Bucilla kit.
It has a lot of detail, which is why I love it so much. It's also why it took a very, very long time to finish.
Yesterday, I pulled out Leo's stocking kit. His is pretty fancy, too. There seems to be an equal amount of hand embroidery--with the added challenge of beaded sequins. I should have started in October to have a shred of hope of finishing it. Actually, earlier because as far as I can tell, October lasted about two days.
I know this will not be ready to hang on the mantel the day after Thanksgiving, which is when I start decorating the house for Christmas. But maybe...maybe...I'll get it done in time for Santa to stuff. Though I'm not going to lie. I'm worried, considering this is how it currently looks.
Yup. Exactly how it looked last season. Sheesh.

Cute stocking! Do you know if this kit is still available and where I might find one?
Thanks!
Hi Mary, thanks. I bought both of my kits through Plaid's online store. I find they have the best selection of Bucilla's kits. I have a couple in mind for the rest of the family--if I ever get this one done, that is!
Beautiful stocking! Well done. I have made a Bucilla stocking each year for the past few years and I love the process of watching it come together. I was wondering if you know the name to your kit? I looked for it on the Plaid site but couldn't find it. Sometimes you can find old ones on amazon etc, so I was hoping to search it by name. Also, do you have a closer up picture of santa's face? I am working on this stocking http://www.merrystockings.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/christmas-feast-bucilla-felt-applique-christmas-stocking-kit.jpg and feel that Santa's face is a little too cutesie, I'd like to try to mimic the eye and nose style that is used in your kit. Thanks, and Merry Crafting!
