I started a new slow stitching project today. I have long wanted to make one of the fun Bucilla stocking for our grand daughter, but didn’t really have an idea about which one. Shortly after this past Christmas the idea came to me that we have always done gingerbread baking before each Christmas. She always looks forward to it and so do I. So I thought to look for a ginger bread themed stocking. And I found one and ordered it. What didn’t occur to me was how tricky it would be to actually work on it while living in the same house. She tends to pop in and out of our living area without much warning. How was I going to do it and keep it a secret. Well, this week she is away at over night camp. So I have a full week knowing she won’t be here to see it. I’m going to see just how much of it I can get done in a week. This is the stocking picture. 
This is where I am.
There is a long way to go. I am on piece #4 out of somewhere around 80 pieces. What I don’t get done this week will get put away until September when we go out to the trailer for a week. After that it will have to be during school days.
