I finished my stocking board and I'm so very proud of it. I can't wait until December, but mostly because my baby will be four months, and so life will be easier, and he will be more fun than he will be say in September.
Need another shot? The board looks really pink in the pictures, but it is red. Remember how I like my finished wood project variegated. If you scroll through my
painted wood label at least half are variegated paint. Its just so much fun to only sand off half the paint off, and the do a wash with the paint.
Once again no cricket, so I did the lettering the old fashion way. Traced a print out, like
this tutorial, then re-wrote over the tracing with a silver sharpie. Then it wasn't thick enough for my taste, so I cut off the tip of the sharpie, to make it wider.
I love my holly. I made the same flower rosette as I've in the past, except for smaller and wider, so they look more berry like and less flower like. Then cut out leaves and put batting inside. I'm really quite pleased with my free motion sewing leaf veins.
