So Naturally...

So it's been a crazy month, school, church, family party, work wise...like usual. And my house is more out of control...than usual. So we need a good cleaning.

So NATURALLY...I started a new project.


We've been through many sets of Christmas stockings...pretty much one set per new child, and frankly I've hated them all. I've been especially unhappy with the stockings we have used for the last 3 years since Ethan was born.

So a late night trip to Joann's (Yeah for 70% off clearance on Christmas items BEFORE Christmas) + dusting off my sewing machine = Merry Christmas Stockings to me. :)

Those look AWESOME. And, they can serve as shoe holders! Perfecto.

Very lovely!

I'm blazing my way through a last minute Christmas project for my parents. When will I ever learn to just spend the money and be done???

Ditto on the REALLY needing to get things cleaned up. And start presents getting wrapped. Maybe I'll have the game done at a reasonable hour tonight and can start doing that.

Cute stockings. I'm curious to know what tiny little items you will stuff into the curly toes. You could have a lot of fun with that. Nothing like a good last minute project.

Brenda: brilliant!


Marni: How cool! Love it. I am definitely going to have to put the project on my list. (For another year).

Amanda: I'm thinking Candy Cane. But I don't know...that's Santa's job. ;)

Oh my goodness - what cute stockings. And way to put them all together at the last minute.
