I just love the way the little boy in the stocking almost looks like your grandson. That is an amazing amount of work.

What lovely work. It is so nice that your grandchildren will have a keepsake forever. I cherish some of the things my grandma made for me but nothing had this amount of time invested! It is just beautiful.

Thanks for all the nice posts...appreciate them...I did have to change the little guy in the window...in the pattern it was a little girl.. so that was a challenge in itself...so the post of looking like my great grandson was a really good compliment...love this board...

Well, I know I'm supposed to say handsome, but, this kid is PRETTY, Wow. Really handsome. So is his stocking. Lots and lots of work.

nativetexan 10-13-2012 01:09 PM

Oh so lovely. both the great grandson and the stocking!! (say Hi to Houston for me).

lillybeck 10-13-2012 02:20 PM

This is great. I have a friend that does great work like yours. I have given up cross stitch but still embroidery a little

Bluelady 10-13-2012 02:22 PM

You cross stitched all that??! wow! I am very impressed! Beautiful work!

sassey 10-13-2012 02:47 PM

WOW WOW WOW adorable grandsome and spectacular stocking I cross stitch so appreciate the amount of time and work you put in on that stocking i would never be able to even attempt something like that and if I did it would take 100 years for me to get it done.

piepatch 10-13-2012 02:53 PM

Awesome job! I love cross stitch but my hands can't take it anymore-I know you are proud and it will be cherished for my years to come!

MargeD 10-14-2012 12:35 PM

Gorgeous - what an amazing amount of work, which my eyesight was good enough to still do counted cross-stitch, so I'll stick with quilting - but what a treasure.

kathdavis 10-14-2012 01:01 PM

Sew sew cute!

ging10ging 10-14-2012 01:09 PM

Your grandson is adorable and such a beautiful head of hair he's going to have the girls after him. Your Xmas stocking came out beautiful and I'm sure a lot of work. I'm sure he'll enjoy it. Sue

grandmaemma 10-14-2012 02:08 PM

Cute grandson:) He makes me smile...stocking is very nice...lots of work. Something to be treasured for a long time (sock) and someone to be treasured forever and ever (grandson) :)

Taughtby Grandma 10-14-2012 02:40 PM

The stocking is fabulous and the baby is sooo beautiful!

karate lady 10-14-2012 04:24 PM

I do counted x-stitch, so I know how much work went into that on 18 count. I don't do any smaller than 14. beautiful job and a beautiful grandson. Both treasures...

MimiBug123 10-14-2012 06:33 PM

Super job on the stocking. I think he will treasure this forever, just knowing that his great-grandma made it just for him.

MNquiltlady 10-14-2012 06:36 PM

Must have taken a lot of time . Hope some I will be able to do that for my grandchildren-when I have some!

LindaJR 10-15-2012 09:04 AM

Beautiful and your great-grandson is darling - love his hair. My second son had hair like that. Still does but at 49 he keeps it very short, but was in style when the Afro was popular in his teens. Take care.

PenniF 10-15-2012 09:34 AM

Worth every minute - he'll cherish it always !!!!

gramquilter2 10-15-2012 10:57 AM

nancia 10-16-2012 09:10 PM
