My mom made all 5 of us kids and her two grand kids these wonderful needlepoint stockings. Each of them unique, backed by red crushed velvet, lined with bells, and favored by their recipient. I have sworn to one day archive these puppies as they are all so special. But here is a peak at her sweets works.

Wild Things
My daughter Bijou just turned 9! For each of the kids birthday they get to request a theme cake from their Nana. This has been a tradition since my siblings and I were young. I have tried to convince my mom to at least archive these puppies, as they are amazing! So I will do my part and share them as I come across new photos. For Bijou, she wanted a wild things cake. Nana did such a magical job of recreating the wild things parading through the jungle. Complete with Bijou and our dog Jimmy. It was such a special surprise.
Ben Buttons Cowl 2
I made a super quick cowl a year ago and called it my Benjamin Buttons Cowl. As Brad was born an old man I was just casting on and I did my cast off as he was a toddler. I was not in love with the movie like everyone else, but I was in love with my soft new cowl. Both cowls I used a super bulky alpaca which knits up like butter and is super soft and warm. I did a simple seed stitch and waa la!
