Right before Christmas, I finally finished my oldest daughter's Christmas Stocking. It was truly a labor of love that took me years to complete
I have now started the second one for our second daughter who is a freshman in high school.
I bought all the stocking kits at the same time (all seven of them), with each specific recipient in mind. This one I chose because of the wildlife and the outdoors theme. I thought it fit her perfectly and boy does it sure fit now! This one appears to be much easier. The stitching is not as dense and there are quite a few half stitches. Maybe I can get this one done this year.....
This will be what it will look like when finished and she loves it! Right now I am enjoying sitting down each evening and working on it for about 40 minutes or so - this is such a great way to unwind while the hubs and I watch one of our favorite shows.

Pretty. My mom used to do cross stitch. It was always so perfect, and I just could not do it. But I do knit. Smile.
The stocking is lovely!
The stocking looks really pretty. Good luck with the progress.

I meant to congratulate you when you posted the complete one...but forgot.
This one's nice - and as you say, a lot fewer stitches. I like those!
Awe. It's so sweet that you're making these stocking for your family. I'm sure they're going to treasure them for a long time.
I love cross-stitch so much! I love finding other people who love it too :)
Wow, what an amazing labor of love that they will always cherish!
Oh wow! That is really impressive. You did an amazing job! Thanks for linking up at Hooking on Hump Day!
