holiday stockings & fall clean up

Thought you might like to see some of those holiday stockings

I’ve been sewing.  Yes, they’re all on the feminine side.

Probably more for decorating with than truly stuffing!

And, at the end of the day~ I liked the plainness of them and wrinkled linen.

Like this, I think they’ll be more flexible to embellish with/in other holiday decorating.  Like- stuffing them with a bit of evergreen, sage, or holly.  Or by hanging a personalized initial from the backside hanging loop.

And these are two other styles and textures I was playing with. . .

 

Besides sewing, I’ve been hard at it on the fall clean up—oh my aching muscles!

Raking leaves -endlessly- rounding up and covering furniture, cleaning out gardens, cutting down a LOT of plants prepping for the snow to fly.  Unfortunately SOONER than later—they’re predicting a big snow storm this weekend.  Boooooo…

. . . and prepping for

holiday decorating. . .

I decided on this iron urn for this season’s front steps arrangement.
