You read that right. Just last month I was thrilled to take the tree down on December 26th. For me, when it’s over, it’s over. But I also had such a wonderful Christmas Day with friends at our house that I’m already thinking about Christmas 2012. So. . .when I joined friends this last Saturday for a day of sewing and catching up I decided to begin piecing some mini Christmas stockings.
My friend Susan Terry wrote the book on them — and larger stockings too — so I plucked fast, fun & easy Christmas Stockings from my book shelf and started planning. Scraps are in order here! Out came the bag of neutral-color scraps. Ready.
When done, these mini stockings will be fully lined, have a header and a hanger and will be charming wherever I decide to use them. Susan said so. . . and she doesn’t lie.
Charming, charming—and you will be so pleased with yourself next December! Aileyn
It will be Christmas again, before you know it. They’re lovely!
too cute! Much better than waitnig to get out the glue gun two weeks before Christmas!
Aileyn, I’m already pleased just getting this started! Meta and Franki, I know how the calendar flies — I’m determined not to be in a panic this December. We’ll see how this all plays out.
I love these little jewels of yours. I am reminded again of the stash of Christmas fabric that is languishing for want of inspiration. And here it is again! I just hope that I don’t get my stockings done too early in the year then lose them (like I did the cross stitch last year — or was it the year before? Still haven’t found them!)
