Patches of Snow: Kaitlyn Marie Designs


Project: Patches of Snow
(Mini Stocking)
(1994)

Designer: Kaitlyn Marie Designs

Type of needlework: Beading and needlepoint

Photos: 7

Comments: I think that mini stockings are such a nice addition in any Christmas tree and the more the merrier.

This is actually my second mini stocking that I have done from Kaitlyn Marie Designs, the first one being called Fancy That: Emerald Gold Mini Stocking and you can see it here on a past blog entry.

Contrary to the Emerald & gold mini stocking which was about half needlepointing and half beading, this one was mainly beading with a tiny fraction needlepointing.

Some sections went pretty quickly and others took a bit more times depending on the size of the beads. There was also 3 Pearl Cabochons included in the kit.

Instructions for finishing the little stocking were included and were easy to follow.

Comments: When I saw this little stocking, I just fell in love with it, but wondered if I could actually stitch this as I was just beginning learning needlepoint and it looked challenging and all those beads. Had never done any beading before, but with some help, I got it done and had it finished for me.

I just adore it and it goes on my Christmas tree each year.
