A few folks have shared their handmade Christmas stocking so I thought I'd join in.
My mom made this stocking for me when I was a baby. It needs a facelift - after Christmas this year I'll work on sequin replacement. But I just love getting it out every year and hanging it up, oh what joyful memories! Mom and Dad would always buy cheesy silly comic books and put them in our stockings, so that we'd have lots of fun reading to do. (Good idea, parents - reading *and* keeping your kids quiet for an hour or so!! Hee.)
My favorite parts of the stocking are the Snowman and the Tree. Closeups reveal the genetic condition I inherited: lack of glue expertise. :) But oh, poor things, such repair work needed. First time it will ever be repaired, though, so pretty good holding up for four decades!
Maybe I'll pick up an Archie comic book at the grocery store tonight and put it in the stocking for old times' sake!
