Melissa Shirley Stocking

I just love Santa and the Reindeer!  This is such a cute canvas.  So much white however so I had to use many different threads and stitches to accentuate it.
 Here is the finished stocking.  I absolutely hated free stitching the trees...I just don't like it...it's up there with basketweave!
 Snowman guarding the house. I used some cute sequins to make the tree lights.
 It's hard to find a good font...I like this one ok.  Beading the sleigh was arduous.  I wish I hadn't chosen that about half way through!
 Some of the stitches are from a stitch guide by Diana Bosworth at the French Knot.  The rest are my choices.  Melissa Shirley is the bomb!
