..StOcKiNgS..

Last year Eric and I talked about me making our stocking's for next year. Well next year came and when he mentioned me making them, my heart started to race. I of course wanted to. I love crafty things, but I have never taken a sewing class and never machine sewn anything but quilts. While in Utah I found a cute pattern. And was sent back home with great additional instructions from my Mom and Grandma. As I was sewing I kept repeating what my mom told me "Even the greatest sewers have to un-pick a time or two." Oh I un-picked a time or two. Or TEN!! But against the odds, I DID IT. And dang it all, they turned out cute! I am SO excited!

Adorable! When you move closer, I'm going to have to hire you to make all kinds of cutsie's for me;) You're so talented.

Super cute Cindy! Great job. :)
I'm glad Atti has the Christmas spirit... having kids really DOES enhance the holidays. So FUN!
Parker made us replay the video of Atticus laughing about 8 times... he LOVED it! So funny.

I must be the greatest sewer in the world because my unpicking tool needs to be replaced! Those stockings are adorable! Did you find the pattern at Sew and Save? Maybe I need to make a trip over there...it has been a while.

I'm impressed! those stockings are adorable. It has been fun to watch your little family grow. I'm holding up pretty good...so far!

Ok really...I'm officially EMBARRASSED that I ever made you those baby towels. They really were my first (and I think my last) sewing project! Had I known you were a little seamstress...I probably would have stuck with some diapers. AH!
These are adorable-I am very impressed. Oh and I cannot believe that Atti is saying "mooo!"..he is so smart! Aidan isn't even close to that. I can't believe they are almost one. Freaky.
