At least for this year.
All of my Christmas decorations are still in an attic in Tennessee, so we are making do this year and it has been fine so far. I scavenged some holiday decor at my Mom and Dad's last weekend when we got the tree. The one thing I was really missing was our stockings. The ones we use every year were made for the kids by my Grandmother. They match the one she made me when I was a kid.
So instead of buying us new stockings I whipped these up tonight.
I was most definitely bending the rules. I had no pins and no iron so they are extremely rough around the edges. I used clothes pins to pin pieces together.
Juliana has requested a crocheted stocking. I am hoping she will like these and change her mind. I have a pattern and yarn but not sure I have the gumption to get it finished in a timely fashion. Also not sure I know how to spell gumption. Is it even a real word.
In other news... a doggy has come to live with us on a trial basis. I think she is the kind of dog we can handle. House trained already, 10 years old and sleepy. I might be able to handle that.
