What I've Been Up To...

Other than growing the baby, I have been doing a lot of embroidery!  I love that it's something I can throw in a bag & take downstairs and spend time with my family while doing.  Most of the other things I do, I have to be in my room with all the appropriate tools and away from everyone.  But not this!  I have been busy making stockings for the kids, and a Jesse Tree.

When I was little, my grandma had a Jesse Tree she made, and still has up to this day.  When I was a little older, my mom made one with us, and so I really wanted to have one for my kids. 

I am not finished yet, I still have about 8 more symbols to do, then each one needs the bible verse and name that it symbolizes added to it.  I tried to get it done for Dec. 1st, but maybe I'll get it done before Christmas {or before this baby is born!}.

And before I was even done with the Jesse Tree, I decided the kids needed new stockings for the mantle.  Here are some of the pictures of those.  The baby's doesn't have a name yet, cause we don't want to give it away ;)  well, that and we haven't decided 100% yet what it's going to be! 

Well, I am due in 4 weeks and lets hope I can get all the stuff I want to get done finished up before my sleepless nights set in...otherwise, most of the stuff I am working on won't get finished until summer!!
