I did it!

I finally finished my nephew Nolen's stocking. It took forever and my wrist hurts, but it's done and Santa can fill it tonight. For some reason, my sister-in-law wanted the Grateful Dead bears on the stocking. I was puzzled since neither she nor nor my brother are fans, but I have to admit, it did turn out pretty darn cute! The other stocking is Nolen's big sister, Madelynn's stocking that I made two years ago.



I also made 50 cut out cookies and 256 crescent roll cookies. Why so many, you might ask? Because I'm mathematically inept. I thought I was doubling the batch and instead, I quadrupled it. Yes...I am just that clever. Sigh.

I still have to wrap presents. Guh. I'd better get to it - Santa comes early around here!

Hooray, you!

If you have too many cookies, you can give some away. Who doesn't like free cookies?

CUTE!

I don't have the patience to sit and do cross stitch - or knit - or anything which requires me to draw in the lines. ;)

I hope everything is sparkling with you and yours -
