This morning I got out my sewing machine to work on some repair jobs, and found the remnants of ideas for making Christmas stockings. I know it is a little off-season, but I've been thinking about how I can get ahead of the Christmas rush. Maybe this is it!
Seeing that we seem to add one person to our stocking mantle each year, I need to choose something that I can easily add to, which means I should probably make my own. I have plenty of ideas, but I don't want to just blow a lot of money on something that I'm likely to change again in a few years!
I wish I knew how to quilt. That would be great. I could make patchwork stockings, and personalize the cuff. Or I could go elegant, velvet with gold trim. I could wait and discover each person's personality, and make one to reflect them. Maybe I'll do that the next time.
Until then, I'm just going to have to find a way to get myself to a fabric store...
Oh, regarding a prayer update: Peter is walking again!

Debra, I have thought up tons of ideas for creating stockings... who knows if I'll ever actually MAKE them!
PTL that Peter is up and walking. That looks so painful!
