You have been busy!!! I have only made 13 total - I don't know if I would ever get 33 done. Do you design your own patterns. I purchase the patterns I use, but since counted cross stitch is no longer in demand, I have trouble finding a pattern I like.

I also have made counted cross stitch stockings for my family, 9 so far plus 3 or 4 others for my siblings children.
And the eyes are going too, the last stocking was on navy 18 ct aida and I had to change it to 14 ct to even begin to see it LOL.
Cataract surgery is in my future and I can't wait!

Those are all Very pretty! I love cross-stitching too, so I can appreciate for sure the time put into these! I've never done a stocking, but have done tons of wall hangings, coasters, smaller ones to put in a magnet frame for fridge, etc. I'm working now on a wedding one for my youngest son getting married later this year. Just FYI.....you can get books loaded with patterns at the library.

I made one for a great nephew 1 7 years ago. I was told by DD NOT to make one for my 2 youngest grand daughters Now they wish they had one as they are establishing their own homes. Too late for these old eyes, so the girls will have to do for themselves.

Your work is great. I've done the same for all the nieces/nephews with needlepoint.
