It's December 9th!
Welcome to my very neglected blog and my entry for the 2022 Advent Calendar Blog Hop. The hop is hosted by Jo at Serendipitious Stitching. You can catch up on the previous days and follow along for the rest of the month here. While you're there, check out her stitching and finishes. Jo does beautiful work.
I have had a very slow stitching year and my blogging mojo has not returned but I'm making an attempt by participating in Jo's blog hops - one of them is going to spark the fire.
Fortunately for this entry, my entire stitching year was Christmas themed.
First up is a stocking for my great-niece Ellidae (Elli most days).

Next is my great-nephew Beckett's stocking:
Seven Swans to Rule Them All by ScreamingHeartDesign on Etsy. It's stitched on 28-count Snow on Blue evenweave from Fabric Flair using DMC Etoile. Mounting piece and cording is from Joann Fabric and the greenery is stuff I've had hanging around for years. Warning - if you are easily offended - just search the pattern title rather than going to the shop site.
Now on to the question of the year - "What's for afters?" I used to make a pecan pie, a pumpkin pie and an apple-cranberry pie (and sometimes a carrot cake with cream cheese-pecan frosting or a cheesecake) but those days are long gone. I'll get a single serve pecan pie and vanilla ice cream for The Hubs. For me? I'm not sure. I prefer cherry pie and they can be hard to find in my little corner of Virginia.
I hope you all have a Happy Christmas or your holiday of choice or just a great day. Don't forget to follow along at Jo's blog.

What wonderful finishes, Susan! You could drive over to my part of Virginia and get a cherry pie at Yoder's. They have both crumb topped and regular. Happy Friday!
The Lord of the rings and twelve days of Christmas made me laugh. Nice to hear from you again. I hope your blogging mojo is getting recharged.
Thanks for taking part in the Advent Calendar Blog Hop this year.
It would be lovely to see more from you but I am glad that you did this post.
I absolutely adore the Lord of the Rings version of 12 Days, so clever!
The various pies sound lovely too.
Fantastic stockings and ornament.
The stockings are fabulous, penguins look great but the deer is so cute, such a lovely design. Pecan pie must be delicious, I would love to taste it, I tried carrots cakes years ago, the kids loved them, should be on my cooking list again. I hope you'll be on line again soon. Joyeuses fêtes de Noël ! xxx
Fun stitches, the stockings are lovely.
Oooh, apply-cranberry, one of my favourites!
Happy Christmas!
Love the stockings, especially the deer one. I´ve never tasted Pecan pie but love apple and cranberry.
Hi Susan, so glad to hear from you! Your stockings are wonderful, the Satsuma Street one is on my list too.
Pie for desert sounds wonderful as well!
Your stitching is all beautiful ... I particularly love the penguins!! My hubby loves pecan pie, too. :)
My favorite of your Christmas stitching is that beautiful deer stocking! It is so cheerful! Pie makes excellent dessert! Probably in addition to our cookies we will also enjoy some pecan pie this year. Have a wonderful rest of the season!
Beautiful stitching, have a lovely Christmas 🎄

What cute stockings! I'm sure the owners adore them! I think I'm with your husband, I love pecan pie, but only a small portion because they are so sweet. Love the special "12 Days" stitching, what a fun interpretation of the classic! Have a Merry Christmas!
Lovely stitching! I've been seeing that Seven Swans design everywhere lately; clearly a sign I must stitch it for myself.
Merry Christmas!
I love those finishes! I really must do the rings one, so funny. Merry Christmas!
What wonderful stitching. I am so glad you are back blogging
