Two finishes. I started a stocking for my
son a couple of years ago. I decided to
finish the piece differently. I made a
pillow with his name and made the other
portion into an ornament. The detail in
the ornament is so pretty. I knew I wouldn't
finish the stocking and sometimes we
just have to use a little creativity. Not the
first time I have done this. The last
picture is my Dog Boomer. She is outside
the door waiting to come in. We have had
so much snow. I don't ever remember having
a winter with this much snow.

What cute finishes!
Your header picture is just awesome. Everyone looks like they're having so much fun~
The ornament (sock bottom) is so nice . . all of those little stitches and outlining just make it pop off the page.
Beautfiul ornaments, I love those stocking designs from the old magazines.
Great finishes.
What a great way to recycle a ufo. The ornies look great!
What a great finishes, Cindy! lovely work!
What a good idea, the unfinished stocking has made two lovely ornaments.
Poor Boomer, she looks dwarfed by the snow
Great finishes!
Wonderful finishes....how cute is Boomer!
I was just reading about all the snow your area has had to deal with, Cindy--it sounds like the winter we got pounded with last year! Do hope it slows down soon...
I think that is a wonderful idea to use parts of the old stocking as ornaments--each of them is so detailed and beautiful.
Hope you have a relaxing weekend :)
It's absolutely gorgeous how you finished the started stocking into a hanging ornament. The design is so beautiful.
Such beautiful ornaments & dog. now you seem to got me hooked on ornaments...that's ok...they are quick finishes & motivate me. love your blog.
Boomer sure is a cutie. I love that you made the stocking into an ornament - sometimes we just have to innovate. Love your 4th of July ornament - I am trying to do one patriotic piece per month so I have more to decorate with in the summer too.
Two gorgeous finishes!
Beautiful finishes.
Lovely finishes!
Best wishes,

Hi Cindy, beautiful cross stitch projects.
Because of problems with someone who reads my blog I've had to change my url.

I knew I recognized the first picture, but then I KNEW for sure when I saw the name part. I have stitched several of those stockings! Very cute idea.
Love the way you transformed the stocking into two wonderful pieces.

Hi Cindy! I love how you switched it up and turned the stocking in these two beautiful pieces!...(I had no idea the Etsy Cindy was you! Thank you so much!) xo Paulette :D
This is fantastic. What detail.
I wish I hadn't seen this !!! it's been 6 months since I threw away (in a huge effort to declutter) my old cross stitch magazines... and for the first time I have a feeling of huge regret ! I remember this pattern... and love how you made it into an ornament !!!
