The Stockings Were Hung- Barnyard Christmas Freebie

Are you ready for another Barnyard Christmas freebie? This is #9 in the series and is called "The Stockings Were Hung" .

This little stitch is inspired directly from the farm.  No farm would be complete without a a kitty or two . This little cat is sitting on the fence which is all adorned with stockings waiting to be filled. I modeled my kitty after, Kat, who was gray in color, but this Christmas cat would look fantastic in any color. 


If you look carefully we will even see a little mouse stirring around in the snow. He is waiting for Santa too. 
These are small  ornaments which means quick stitches. The design size measures 31 x 31 which on 14 count aida that would be 2 1/4" x 2  1/4".  I stitched both of mine on 14 count aida. One was on tea/coffee dyed aida,   and the other was dyed with Rit Emerald Green.

  2. Melisa,
    Thanks so much for your sweet comments on my posts....I just posted the rest of my Kitchen last night.... I so wish I was able to do this type of stitchery but i have found some VERY old stamped cross stitch ornaments that I can do and make do I will probably start on them while watching TV in the evening!! I am trying to decide what to do with a fairly large wood sled that Joe bought from the Amish Farmer....Not sure how I want to finish it...I hope you are having a great week!!
    Hugs,
    Debbie
