Christmas Candles Stocking...another lucky draw!

6/8/2013

51 Comments

 
PictureChristmas Candles is on linen and is 23" long.
How about a bunch of candles to light up this dreary day!  I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods but here it's raining cats, dogs and a few horses.  At least that's how it sounded as it t pounded on my roof this morning; hell bent on washing away the shingles!   Not a nice day to be out and about, but a great time to stay in and hook! 

This weather can get a girl down and they say that misery loves company but I beg to differ because I'm still feeling pretty darn lucky and want to pass it on! 

So today is another draw.  Congrats to Sandra Sampson for winning the last pattern.  Once again my chosen number is from 1 - 50.  Just so you know there isn't any corruption in the selection process, I tell my secret pick to my friend Sue. By the end of the day whoever hits it on the head or comes close will win this delightful little Christmas stocking, hot off the drawing table this morning.   My eyes are still a fraction off for typing but seems perfect good for drawing so I'm going to whip off several more and offer a free design next Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday!  So if you want to play maybe it will pay...be the first to guess the number and wait for your new pattern to arrive! 

I think Christmas in June is apropos.  We're at the half way mark in the year and the perfect time to hook projects for the season.  Why wait until the snow flies to think about Christmas, and then panic to complete the gifts and decorations for the holidays?  That time of the year is busy enough without added stress. 

Christmas Candles is the perfect stocking for the mature kid.  This design has old fashioned appeal with the candle holder and who doesn't love the gorgeous poinsettia?  They can be hooked in fabulous reds or for the Victorian look, burgundies and pinks.   A present for a loved one or to yourself, this is a gift that will keep on giving as it hangs on the mantel for Santa to fill with Christmas goodies.  


P.S. This has been a great learning experience for me......reading the comments how other women have suffered similar problems with menopause.   It makes me feel less anxious!  Thanks for sharing!
