Christmas Stocking

I have always wanted to cross stitch a Christmas Stocking.  Sophia picked this one, Elisabeth's Stocking, from Shepherd's Bush.
Since this is sewn on linen I needed to get a magnifying light so I could sew it, old eyes!!.  I finally did last week and got started on it!!  Here's my progress....I hope I can stick to this and get it finished this year, as I tend to get bored with projects!
