Wow! Now that I seem to have everyone else's Christmas projects done, I can begin my own. Not that I am complaining, I have been loving it! My sister-in-law asked me to make some personalized stockings for family this year for them to use in their early Christmas before my brother was deployed to Afghanistan. So, I remembered the stockings of one of my friend's over at Crafty Chicks and asked her if I could borrow them to use as a template. I did and LOVE how they turned out. I planned to make some for my family this year, but I don't think I'm going to get to it. Definitely for next year though. Good news is, my brother's family loves them, and Santa filled them early, and my brother is now "safely" in Afghanistan and I pray he stays that way.
