Christmas Fun!


I know I am quite behind in posting, but I finally have a little bit of time to spend on my blog!  My first project I wanted to share with you were my Christmas Stockings!  Although they aren't exactly like the pattern that I downloaded, they are close enough!  I had a hard time finding cute stockings here that weren't outrageously priced and that weren't for a small child or pet.  In my blog searching, I came across this awesome blog called purl bee where I found this awesome pattern for making felt stockings.  While hubby was away on a short trip, I got to work!  I hunted down all the supplies and spent some time stitching everything together (made me think about investing in a sewing machine).  The felt I used wasn't my favourite, but I made due.  The white was a bit hard to work with so I add improvise when it came to the snowflakes.  The other thing that I was missing were pinking shears for the borders.  They too were outrageously priced so I decided to do without.  It works!
