stockings.

Our little home is looking very Christmas..ee.
I made these stockings at Momma Donna's (Paul's mom) this weekend.
They are made of wool felt (Val, I hope you are proud).
I designed them myself, but based them off these stockings.. which Mindy's mantle is adorned with.

This pic is a little dark, but I did a tree for my nature-loving husband. He also insisted on a star.

I did a snowman, and took forever deciding on a background color.
As I was making it, I realized that my stocking that I've had for the last 22 years is red with a white snowman... funny!
The cuff was the trickiest part... and a pattern would have been helpful, but it worked out in the end.

Yay for stockings.
Yay for Christmas!

Heck, yeah, I'm proud of you.

And how much do I love that you unwittingly recreated your childhood stocking? just right
