Stockings

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!)

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!
