Day 5 - Crazy January Challenge 2011

Just a quick post to show my progress on my "Crazy" Day 5 start. The pattern is Nutcracker Christmas from X's & Oh's. A dear friend, knowing my passion for Nutcrackers, sent it to me a few years back. I managed to make a bit of a dent on the middle Nutcracker in the top row.


This stocking is going to be for me. A few years ago I stitched stockings for my 2 neices and nephew from the BH&G's Heirloom Christmas Stockings in Cross Stitch book. I was going to stitch 1 each for my DH and I from this book also but I much rather have the Nutcracker one now. I not sure what I will eventually stitch for my DH. I have couple other Nutcracker stocking charts in my stash and I might do one of them.

Nitey, Nitey and Happy Stitching!!!!!!!!
