December is here

As our family grows....

the stocking supply needs to be expanded.

I made these stockings with an old

chenille-like bedspread, felt and some stitching.

They kind of go along with the vintage knit ones

we already have.

At least they don't CLASH with them!

:)

I"m so proud to be doing this

BEFORE Christmas eve!

Hahah.

I also finished a beanie this week.

I used a VERY simple pattern,

Ribbed cap, found in a library book.

But...

I used TWO different colors.

I love the way it turned out!!

When the Christmas Making is done

I want to get back to THIS!

:)

Stockings

I thought I was all done making things for Christmas.

I DO a need a couple more stockings

since the kids are finding spouses

and having babies these days.

:)

But.....

I was dragging my feet about acquiring new stockings...

Sort of wanted them to match the ones I have

and the ones I have were knitted by a GREAT aunt.

I'll never find a match!

 

Then..... I went to the THRIFT store.

One of my favorite shopping destinations!

I found a Bedspread.

The fabric is called "Matelasse".

Nice and thick.

Chunky and FULL of TEXTURE.

I knew JUST what I wanted to do with that bedspread!!!

There is SO much BEDSPREAD I can make

LOTS of stockings!!!

 

I'll put a couple in my shop and have enough left

for ALL the kids, Grandkids,

Friends of kids.....

Friends of friends...

and everyone IN BETWEEN!!!
