Crafty Christmas....

Okay... so it all started with this blog post from Vicki Howell, one of The queens of Knitting & Craftiness, IMO anyway :)

The Stocking I had, was one that my first husband bought for me when we were dating.. um that would have made it... 13 years old & did I Mention it was from my first husband? LOL So when I saw Vicki's post.. I knew that, THAT was my future stocking!

I did add my own craftiness too it and used a cut in half foam ball and some yarn to make my yarn ball and used my die cut machine to cut out the letters for my name :) and stars were more chirstmasy than hearts for my needle ends... so here is MY NEW Stocking :)





While making my stocking I remembered that I Hadn't bought one for Abbey yet... and since we call her Abbey Bear.... her stocking was born....

While Make Abbey's I realized Ashley didn't really have a "personalized" stocking of her own... So... She wanted Hello Kitty :) and so her stocking was born...

When i told Jake how the girls and I were going to have cute similiar stockings with our fave things on the front.. he was jealous.. and so... his stocking was created and born.... a Ninetendo WII remote and console for those of you not savvy on video games :)

OMG....those are perfect stockings. You are so talented girlfriend. You could not have bought stockings better than these. I love the way you personalized each one. I am really impressed!
Of course, you know which one is my favorite. :)
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Hugs!

How totally awesome and perfect! I've always wanted to make personalized stockings but haven't. I should have looked for stocking kits while shopping!
