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!!
