I'm not very sophisticated with my needle work. I consider it therapy. I'm currently working on a Christmas stocking for my new daughter in law ... felt applique and a crocheted baby blanket for my new great nephew. I know it's not needlework but I'm also going to do a little scrap book for him spelling out his name with photos of his immediate family.
Close enough for me! For a few years, I had the job of making christmas stockings for a group of kids my mom's work sponsored. Making them can be fun. I never made any two alike...Simple felt pattern, and then I had great fun with glue and trims....
