to look a lot like Christmas!!!
I started some decorating this weekend for Christmas and yes, many things will be different this year. Anything meant to go below waist-high will have to stay packed away for another year (or two) or used at the church youth house as the little monsters have a way of destroying anything shiny or non-toy-like. The Christmas tree is still a "probably" though as I have a fence from my wonderful sister-in-law, Brenda, that she used to go around the tree when her boys were little.
My latest Christmas project was making stockings for my boys. I bought some for Jack and me ages ago and wanted something similar ... but alas, no luck in the stores so I headed for the fabric store. I revved up Grandma's old sewing machine and went to work putting together new stockings for my little boys. The trim around the boot I had to hand-sew and the letters were iron-on. I'm still struggling to find some snowflakes that don't look old-lady-like ... I thought I could cut them out myself but that is way harder than you'd think with felt. Anyway ... here's the result!
