Short A Stocking!!!!

Last night as I was deciding whether or not I was done decorating for Christmas....and I am.....

I realized that this Nana's little granddaughter would be spending her first Christmas at Nana and Papa's

AND

this Nana had no stocking for her!!

I dashed away, dashed away, to the sewing/craft room to search for something to make a stocking....


I found a vintage child's hankie, and some scrap Christmas fabric....

I cut a piece of muslin in the shape of a stocking, and sewed my fabrics and the hankie onto the muslin.....I backed with another scrap of fabric, added a vintage lace trim


And now this stocking hangings with the rest of the McKinley stockings....

What a wonderful addition!

    What a sweet little stocking for the newest member of the family! :-) And that reminds me that I need to make a stocking for daughter's boyfriend who will be spending the holidays with us this year.

    That is adorable! I am so impressed with your just whipping together a stocking! I would be plodding and planning and never actually get to it. LOL

    Merry Christmas!

    Oh Chris! What a sweet story to tell your beautiful grand-daughter in years to come. You have made her such a precious stocking! I also want to add to Vivian's sentiments in how wonderful your ornament is you have sent. I have mine on my windowsill, I just love it! It has been such a pleasure getting to know you through your blog this past year. I look forward to more of your beautiful projects in the coming year. Merry Christmas! Elizabeth

    I just came home from Idaho to find a package with the cutest tree tucked into a tart tin...it was a mystery at first who sent it, but with a little detective work I found your name on the label...thank you, Chris! Merry Christmas! I love surprises!!

    Beautiful stocking, and sure to be an heirloom. Thank you so much for the tart tin decoration. It's darling, and it's keeping company with my other bottle brush trees around my nativity.

    May you have a very blessed Christmas and a truly happy new year.

    Hugs,
    Meri
