Day 11 Online Advent Calendar

I don't remember getting an Advent calendar as a child. Maybe because there were 6 children and we were poor! (That is what my mom told me, although I never felt poor.) Anyway, Jo over at  Serendipitous Stitching         
is having an online stitching Advent Calendar. It is so much fun seeing what other people stitch for the holidays.
First big disclaimer: I had PLANNED on finishing two ornaments to show here, but life has gotten in the way. I haven't even finished the Mill Hill Nativity set. Sigh. Maybe in Janurary...
So here are our Christmas stockings. I stitched all but one. Can you guess which one?
 This one is my husband's:
 My daughter's:
 One son:
 The other son:
 Mine:
I would really love to get my stocking done for 2019, but we will see.
Jo asked us to include a favorite seasonal song. Mine is rather odd, but I have always loved it:
Emanuel

I tried to add the Youtube, but had issues. What do you think about this song?

Christmas Stocking


My finisher called and I was able to pick up my daughter's Christmas Stocking. It was a Dimensions kit and although I loved the colors, I didn't like the floss in the kit or the canvas it was stitched on! Now I know why people pay more for handpainted canvas.
The finisher did I a nice job and my dd wanted to know if we could hang the stocking now. Nope. She will have to wait a few months for that.
Now off to my frame to see if I can get some stitching done on my Mystery. After all, Gay Ann told us to stitch for 1/2 hour on these Dog Days of Summer. I will take any excuse I can get!
