@sammy_kaye18 - Happy Birthday.
I have so much that I want to make to raise money for the SA that I needed to get started early this year.
Made a larger dog bone shaped stocking.

@Florenceem, what beautiful fabric. You make them up so quickly. I particularly love the human stocking fabric. So much has been going on. I am struggling with new format too
Probably my age but I do try and stick to the adage, "if it aint broke dont fix it". Still i am sure there is some benefit to someone!

@Soontobeoap, @Florenceem, I think one of the drivers behind the new format here is that the previous software platform was no longer supported, so if there had been a major glitch in it, the whole site could have crashed, data been lost etc. I think there are further functions they are hoping to add - kinda hoping one might be a decent search function …. 🤷♀️😉
@Florenceem cute stockings! What is SA (salvation @rmy)?

Love the stockings @Florenceem especially the cats in hats!
Happy Belated Birthday @sammy_kaye18
Not sure who said they've been sorting through their clothes for charity-but we'll done. I too need to go through all my clothes post move! Should of done it before really! Too much "maybe ill wear it one day". But I have spent some time this week altering ones I like but don't wear (funny necklines etc). Trying to get off my phone in the evening and back to making things (she says on her phone in the evening...)6 -
Finished more Christmas stockings. They measure approx 14 inches from top of cuff to toe.
