I am FINALLY finished with making our Christmas stockings! I was done with all the appliques a while ago but I attempted to hand embroider our names on them and it just didn’t work. Well, I’m too much of a perfectionist and it was taking too long so I gave up. I had them machine embroidered instead.
They aren’t perfect. Why was I expecting them to be? For instance, why is Nat’s longer than the rest? Why did the lady who did the embroidery put my name slightly higher than the others and a bigger font than Dad’s? Why is Abby’s wreath lower than the other appliques? The answer is….I’m a total novice at sewing! And I have no answer about the lady who did the embroidery. All things considered, I am happy with them. After all, they are homemade so they shouldn’t be perfect right? :)
We are allowed to have 2 more children…that is it!
”The stockings were hung by the staircase with care”
I just washed and dried them this morning (to make them fray) so I’d say I finished just in the nick of time!
Bring on Santa!!
