This past weekend, my family went out to visit my sister (
One Star Away) for Christmas.  A few weeks ago, she made some adorable stockings for Jake, Zoey, & the new baby (due any time now).  I liked them for many reasons:  they were personalized, not 'typical' Christmas stockings, and all of them were handmade and hand-embroidered.  So... I decided to make my own!  This year, Kevin and I just used stockings that I had from years past.  Lisa showed me how to start and I took off from there.  It only took me a few hours, too!  I am very happy with how they turned out. (Kevin must be, also.  He hung them as soon as we got back!)

This one is mine:


This one is Kevin's:


Okay, okay... so pink and aqua are not 
really Christmas
 colors, but I love them!  They were so fun to make (and easy!).  Thanks Lis!
