Way behind

Wow, I just don't know where the time has gone but I am so far behind in what I want to make for christmas I don't know if I can catch up.

My 19 year old son decided to move back in for a couple of months, so I have been trying to fix up rooms, my 2 year old had to go back into my sewing room so I have now lost a lot of space and my sewing things have gone into the hallway cupboard.

I really feel a bit out of sorts but I will get it organized hopefully today and really get stuck back into it.

The good thing is though my son is home and will be here for chrissy.

But I have got my little chrissy teddy made will get a pic of him up soon and also made a play mat for my son from a panel I have had for ages, forgot all about it till I started shifting things around and found it, amazing what you have stashed away.

Doll making books

I have confused myself on not knowing which books I want to buy first. The ones I am interested in are,

the 3 books by Patti Medaris Culea, creative cloth doll making, creative cloth doll faces and creative cloth doll couture,

the other ones are by Susan Oroyan, Anatomy of a Doll: The Fabric Sculptor's Handbook, Designing the Doll: From Concept to Construction ,Finishing the Figure: Doll Costuming, Embellishments, Accessories

I will have to think a bit more on it and do some more reading up on them, I will post which ones I eventually pick.

Christmas stocking

Here is the christmas stocking I made for my grandson, I quilted the frount and fully lined the inside

the next one I did was the same but I binded the top with red felt and put a trim around it, silly me gave it to my other grandson before taking a pic of it so the one I'm making for my son I will do the same and make sure I get a pic of it.

Update

Thought I should put an update on what I have or more like haven't been doing, unfortunately my son has been sick, ear infection, flu, teething problems so I haven't been able to get alot of sewing done.

But I have finished one christmas stocking just gotta get hubby to put the pic on for me and I will put it up and bubs is getting better so over the next few weeks hopefully I will be very busy and get things finished.

Would you belive though while I was making the christmas stocking I actually run out of black cotton, couldn't belive it because one thing should always have at least on hand is black and white cotton, anyway I went running to the shops to get some more and what happens when I get home, I bought navy..ahhh teach me for not taking my time and look properly.
