French knots make it snow!
Snowflakes are random. I'm a beginner at French knots. Each one was a surprise.
Shane never had a homemade Christmas stocking before.
I put a gusset on the right side to fit more gifts. When Claire and Shane walk into my home on Christmas Eve, he will be surprised.
Welcome to the family!

You're right. As an artist, my ex-husband Terry sketched the mountains and river.
"Because of all the hiking you do, you have knowledge of trees and landscapes," Terry said.
Terry loves the trees I drew and cut out. I based them on Northern Larch. They look like Dr. Seuss trees.
I added the small trees on top of the mountain to give a sense of distance.
@LiterateHiker How wonderful so much "forest bathing" (as the Japanese call it) must be for you! Nature is psychologically healing, as studies show. I know taking a walk in nature clears and refreshes my mind. Trees are especially inspiring.
Nice looking snow! I’m glad you’re working on such a beautiful surprise

Thank you, Roy!
You did great, and since he appears to be a good guy, this is well deserved. We don't celebrate Christmas so much as Yule around my house--just too religious to me. Yule is a bit more pagan but less gnawing at my gut than Christmas. I did make each of my kids a counted cross stitch stocking long ago, guess I should make one for my daughter's spouse and my son't s GF. You've raised the bar on me.

Thank you, dear!
So you believe in sympathetic magic? I would never have guessed it, knowing you as we do.

As a lifelong atheist, I celebrate secular Christmas. No nativity scenes or religion.
@LiterateHiker I was just reacting to your title, "French knots make it snow". Weather magic?
