25 Days of Christmas Blogshare--Day 8

Today's blogshare post is from Radcrafter who will show you how to make ribbon stockings! Check it out below and click on the link for more details!

***These posts are not mine but from other bloggers who are participating in the 25 Days of Christmas blogshare at Praga's Junkyard. I will have a post up on December 11th!

Featured Blog - Radcrafter says:

I did it. Oh yeah, I can cross hang the Christmas stockings off the checklist. Yay! For those of you who read this little blog, you know I mentioned previously that this was a major TO-DO on the Christmas checklist this year. If you're just checking in, you can read more about that here. And, after lots of online oogling and book reading (I'm always reading crafting, decorating books, etc) it finally came to me. My idea was to merge a simple stocking pattern found online with a pillow design that I discovered in an old Martha Stewart decorating book.

These stockings are lined, only require
a few supplies and require minimum sewing skills to create. Visit Radcrafter to create your own ribbon Christmas stocking...

Tune in tomorrow for Day 9 of the 25 Days of Christmas blogshare at Parga's Junkyard!

Betty- There are some good ones. Of course, all the recipes seem to include loads of SUGAR. LOL

Those are very pretty and festive. I don't do any crafting any more. It's odd since I used to do so many back when the kids were at home.

Joyce- They are pretty but not quite my style. Good idea though.

Susan- Those are not my talent-they belong to the blogshare blogger of the day. But she is talented!

Stephanie- I don't craft stockings ever. My mother did for a while but now we have the needlepoint ones from Land's End or LLBean...something like that.

Pretty stockings! I'm sorry I'm late visiting from the Hodgepodge. I like those red rain boots! Festive looking :) I know how excited you must be getting about your house guests arrivals! I'm thrilled for you.

SWe-e-e-e-e-t!!!! Gotta love 'em.

I just read your hodgepodge also, and loved your responses. I bet you ARE getting anxious for your family/company for the holidays. LOVE the red boots on your wish list and really LOVED the heart garland in the trees.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
