Bucilla stocking, no. 2.

Sandra in Christmas, crafts

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.
