And when it gets cold outside, I like to curl up and do needlework inside.
Saturday afternoon I got out the Christmas stocking I'd started working on after Christmas last year.
This one is for my second daughter-in-love.
I love working on these stockings.
There are about a million little hand-stitches that go into completing one of these kits...
...and I find hand sewing so comforting.
While I am working on a stocking for someone I love, I like to think about them and pray for them.
And that's pretty comforting, too.
At the time I started this stocking, I thought finishing it before Christmas would mean everyone in the family would have one hanging above the hearth this year.
But now we have Baby Girl.
So I need another stocking kit.
And lots more cold weather.
