Close But No Cigar

I worked on Evan's stocking and made progress.  I am up to piece 104 now (out of 120).  There really are more pieces than 120.  There are six pieces numbered 115 which are candy canes.  But now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  I got a pink polka-dotted gift done and the train.


 Today I will work on another gift package.

I put together the Stitchy Box pin cushion.


I like how it turned out.  If I stitch another side panel, I can make a second pin cushion.  Right now, I'm not in the mood.
It was a bit cool walking this morning.  The weather is getting cooler and I wore a sweater.  I want it to stay summer!  Pretty soon I'll have to wear long pants again.  I should be happy that I can still walk outside and that the sun is shining.

    (sorry if this repeats - having connectivity issues tonight)

    The little train is adorable and your pincushion turned out great! Did you use layers of batting to stuff the Stitchy Box?

    Love your little pincushion!
    I should take a little walk tonight while the weather is still nice. Thanks for the inspiration - winter will be here too soon!

    LOVE the pincushion! And the stocking is looking great! I'm sad to see summer go, too, as it's my favorite time of year.

    I had no idea there were so many sections/pieces to the stocking! Thank you for sharing your progress. And that pincushion is adorable!
