Merry Primitive Christmas!
It was great that I drew November 30th as my date, because it forced me to drag the gazillion boxes of Christmas decorations down from the attic (yes I do have an attic in San Diego) and make our house all Christmasy.....The top photo is looking into our living room from the entry....and this one is also from the entry, but facing the tv room and the kitchen.
This is one of the groups of Santas in the tv room.....I am sure by now you have guessed that I collect Santas.....and they are everywhere! Thank yous go out to the wonderful Stacy West for coming up with this great idea of a primitive blog hop....I know that you are all throughly enjoying it
Although I love Santas, you can see from the Santa Bags, I also think Snowmen are pretty cute.....and so I have added one to my crazy stocking for a new ornament for you!

I thought you could also use a little visual.....so here goes.....Cut your stocking out of warm and natural batting (or a batting of your choice)......then lay out your wool
....use the basic shapes on the pattern, but overlap the edges of the stocking base......
Now turn it over and trim the edges using the stocking as your guide.....
Flip the stocking over.....Sew the raw edges with a herringbone stitch....Whipstitch the star in place..... 
Make the snowman as directed and slip it into the finished stocking....Add the handle and enjoy!
So there you go.....Now that you know how easy "wool crazy" is you will have to whip out a quilt!
What is Christmas without yummy treats. I love to go to cookie exchanges, but I never seem to have the time to make those super involved beautiful cookies. Years ago my sister Kathy gave me this recipe for a quick stove top candy type cookie.....I make it all the time and it is always a big hit. My son Andy likes it with just peanuts, so when he was at home at least one batch was made just for him. I should warn you that they become addictive, so beware of the first bite.....
On Monday, December 3 Lori from Notforgotten Farm will be posting. It will be something that I know you will LOVE!
Thanks for stopping by today....I hope that you all have a happy and healthy Christmas.......
Hugs to you.......Jo Ann
