Since I am unable to attending the meeting on Wednesday, I wanted to share with you what I have done.  Pictured below are the three Christmas items I have stitched and finished.  The red and black ornament to the right, which I got at a previous NJNA Dec. gift exchange, is a gift for Pam  this Christmas.  The stocking in the middle I purchased at a trunk show at Mrs. Stitches., and started down in Florida in Oct.  Bill and I are going to be grandparents for the first time in May.  I will hang this little stocking with our others next week to recognize the the coming baby.  The little red square ornament is a gift for my coming grandchild.  I intend to gift an ornament each year.

While my daughter is with me in Florida, we are going to this fabulous needlepoint store, Needlepoint in Paradise, in Naples, which I discovered in Oct.  I will have her pick out the Christmas stocking that she would like me to stitch for her child.  I’ll have a deadline of a year to get it finished.  May you all have a joyful Christmas and a wonderful new year.
