It isn't yet the night before Christmas, and we don't exactly have a chimney, but our new stockings have been hung with care. We are ready for Santa to come! I decided to do a few little updates to our stockings this year. I made mine and Bryce's the first year we were married and I appliquéd our names on them. Now that we are parents I wanted ours to say Mom & Dad rather than our actual names. I wanted to make one for Rory and I also decided to make mine and Claire's match and have Bryce & Rory's match. You can see a picture of what they originally looked like in this post. I removed all of our names and the trees off of my old one. Then I hand embroidered our names on them and turned Claire's old one into Rory's. I had just enough felt left to sew a cream colored stocking for Claire. I left the trees on Bryce's & Rory's and made felt poinsettia's for mine and Claire's. I think they turned out pretty cute and I actually like them better now than the way they were before. I want to eventually knit us all matching red & white striped ones but that's a project that will take me a long time because I am a very slow knitter. Until then, I think these stockings will fit the bill.
