Stocking Love

I have never really thought that much about stockings. It's just something you put fun little things in the night before Christmas and then they go back in storage, right? Well, my sister-in-law is big on having these handmade special stockings that she makes. So, this year I thought, they might be kind of fun to do for our family. I went online and found these beauties!!!!!!!









Aren't they adorable? The train, the fairy, the manger. I love them all. But they are so pricey. Who wants to spend $20-30 on a stocking for heavens sake? Do you think if I got one after Christmas for next year they'd be discounted. Gosh I'm cheap, aren't I?

I can admire such stockings, but I don't covet them. They look like WAY too much work, and I'm afraid that the recipients might grow tired of their "themed" stockings after a few years.

I agree with Linda. Too much work. I've bought stockings on super discount at Fred Meyer's, very plain, as temporary solutions. I want to make our own, but I am the pickiest person on the planet and haven't found anything I like. Think of what James would really like, and then go for it!

As a kid I think he'd love it, because I would have as a kid. Once he becomes a teen he might think it's stupid, but once he's an adult again, he'll appreciate the time and effort I put in to making something special for him. It would probably take me a year to do it though, I'm not really into doing needlework. But, I love the way it looks.

We have cheapo stockings from the $2 aisle at Target, but my dream is to have matching stockings all in white and do a white-themed Christmas. Someday...
