Rachel's Christmas Stocking....finally!

Most everyone in my family has home made Christmas stockings made by my Great Aunt Emma. Well, since Great Aunt Emma is no longer with us, many of the little munchkins don't have home made stockings. I decided that just wasn't right. So, I set out to cross-stitch my neice Rachel a stocking. Six months later I finished it. Sorry, the picture is side-ways, but when I tried to rotate it, it changed the image size. (made it smaller)
I hope she grows to love this stocking, as it took A LOT of my time, blood, sweat and tears. Actually, I found that I really enjoy cross-stitching, it's the last part I don't care for, the sewing and all that finishing stuff. Not so much fun. Check out the end result!!
